Stop At: Victory Square, Minsk Belarus
Victory Square in Minsk - is a memorable place in honor of the immortal feat of the people during the Great Patriotic War. Victory Square is located in the very center of Minsk, on its main avenue. The central place in the architectural ensemble of Victory Square is the Monument or Obelisk of Victory. This monument was built in 1954 in honor of soldiers of the Soviet army and partisans of Belarus who died in the battles for the liberation of Belarus. The height of the obelisk is about 40 meters. The monument is faced with a gray granite and is completed with the image of the Order of Victory. On the four sides of the pedestal there are bronze high reliefs, which are called: "May 9, 1945", "Glory to the lost heroes", "The Soviet Army during the Great Patriotic War", "Partisans of Belarus".

Stop At: Island of Tears, Minsk 223050 Belarus
In the vicinity of the Trinity Suburb you will find a monument erected on an island in the very heart of Minsk. Right next to the bridge you can see the foundation stone with an icon that marks the birth of the monument. The focal place belongs to the chapel where the names of all Belarusian soldiers who died in Afghanistan are carved on the walls. A guardian angel looks after the chapel. The angel is crying. The angel is crying because he failed in his main task — to keep those whose names are engraved inside the chapel safe. The place is surrounded with boulders with the names of the Afghani provinces where the hostilities unfolded.
The monument stands close to the water as if floating in the eternity. The old and the modern residential areas are bound by the fabric of time, make the people reflect over the calamities of military conflicts...
