Description of the attraction
The memorial complex "Mound of Glory" was built in 1967 in Mozyr. The opening of the memorial was timed to the 23rd anniversary of the liberation of Mozyr from the Nazi invaders.
A hard fate fell to the lot of the Belarusian city of Mozyr. The occupation of the city by enemy troops continued for 875 days. All this time, the heroic Belarusian people continued to fight the fascists. The city was occupied on 22 August 1941 and liberated only on 14 January 1944.
The monument is a 45-meter stele, a multi-meter cube with the inscription: "Abarontsam Radzimy ad Mazyran", on which a howitzer from the Great Patriotic War, an eternal flame, a mass grave of Mozyr soldiers and partisans is installed.
The mass grave of the liberators of Mozyr appeared on the Mound of Glory on the eve of the celebration of the 60th anniversary of the October Revolution. The exhumation and reburial of the remains of the soldiers was carried out with a solemn symbolic funeral. Almost the entire city gathered for a memorial meeting, reaching for the ritually cleaned trucks carrying the ashes of the dead soldiers.
In 2012, a memorial sign to the internationalist soldiers who fought in Afghanistan was erected on the mound of glory. A capsule with Afghan soil sprinkled with the blood of Soviet soldiers was buried at the memorial stone.
On the Mound of Glory, rallies and parades are held, meetings with veterans of the Great Patriotic War and internationalist soldiers.

I remember I remember as in the 90s. years, the Germans offered to organize a monument to their soldiers there. So after all then the Mozyr administration agreed for denyushka. Truth is not for some reason there this monument.
