This is a close-up shot of a sign promoting the Rzhev Memorial, located in the city of Tver, Russia
This is a close-up shot of a sign promoting the Rzhev Memorial, located in the city of Tver, Russia. The sign has large lettering announcing "MEMORY. RZHEV MEMORIAL". Beneath this title, there is a description of the memorial as the largest monument to a soldier in the country. It explains the work involved in creating the image of a soldier looking through the decades into the modern world. The text specifies that the pedestal of the monument should simultaneously function as a museum and look like a partially destroyed building from the time of the liberation of Rzhev. The sign also mentions that instead of a torn overcoat, cranes were added, which turned out to be a symbol of the soldier's spirit - a wedge of cranes. Next to the description is an image of the statue, which depicts the upper half of a soldier in uniform, as well as the group of crane statues. The sign is displayed on a grey metal frame. In the background, there is green grass.
