There's three soviet memorials throughout the city however the largest one is here in Treptower park. It was opened four years after the end of WorldWar 2 on May 8th 1949. The main square here's adorned by sixteen stone sarcophagus each of which represents one of the 16
Soviet republics. At the same time however this is not only a memorial in itself it's also a graveyard, a cemetery as more than five thousand soviet soldiers were buried just here in this place. The main part of the memorial is this statue here which represents a Soviet soldier smashing a swastika with assault and carrying a German child into freedom. Despite this place being in a very central location it is however very quiet and a great escape from the bustling city life...yeah, you know, it's historical, but whatever, it's a great place to chill out.
