Modesty and penetration of rural memorials. Appeal to readers
Monuments and memorials in memory of the unprecedented feat of the Soviet people, the Soviet soldier during the Great Patriotic War, are silently standing across our vast Motherland. And there are these obelisks and sculptural groups not only where there were fierce battles, but also in territories where there were none, but from which people who had made their invaluable contribution to the common Great Victory went to the front.
And if memorials in large cities of Russia are recognizable by millions of people, and not only citizens of our country, then memorial compositions in the Russian outback are far from great glory. And this is not their main task. In fact, this task is not to be known to many, but to preserve the memory for future generations who will live in their small homeland. And it is also worth a lot.

This work evokes a feeling of respect, because it is he who is the basis for preserving that very national memory and national identity, which in our country is so closely intertwined with history Great Patriotic War.
We present several memorials in memory of the soldiers of the Red Army who lay down their heads in battles against the Nazi invaders. it rural memorials that are not in the guides, and to which thousands of tourists will not incur flowers. But this fact does not detract from the value of the labor of their creators.
