The Eternal Flame memorial complex on Pobeda Avenue in Orenburg is truly one of the symbols of the city and a place where people gather every year to honor the memory of fallen soldiers and civilians, victims of the Great Patriotic War.

Situated on a busy street, this memorial serves as a gathering place during various commemorative events, including Victory Day on 9 May.
