The monument on Glory Square in Samara is an important symbol of memory and veneration of those who sacrificed their lives during the Great Patriotic War. This memorial composition, consisting of two walls, a high relief of the “Grieving Mother Motherland” and the Eternal Flame, rises on one of the largest squares of the city, recalling the heroism and sacrifice of the people in the fight against fascism.
The high relief of the "Grieving Mother Motherland", installed on one of the walls of the monument, is a symbol of grief and grief of mothers who lost their sons on the battlefields. The Eternal Flame, lit in 1971, symbolizes the immortality of the memory of fallen heroes and the continuity of their spiritual heritage.
