Memorial to the 1200 guards soldiers
On May 8, 1945, the commanding general of the Königsberg garrison and chairman of the military council, Kusma Galizki, called for a memorial to be erected over the mass grave of 1200 soldiers of the 11th Guard Army who died in the fighting. The memorial for the 1200 guards soldiers , inaugurated on September 30, 1945, was the “first new Soviet building” to be built in Kaliningrad. The memorial is located on the southern section of Gwardeiski Prospect on a bastion of the old city fortifications. It consists of a semicircular square that was laid out on the former bastion. In the middle of the memorial is a 15 m high granite obelisk. The sculpture groups Sturm and Sieg are located on the platforms at the entrance to the memorial . The designs come from the architects Innokenti Meltschakow ( Russian И. Д. Мельчаков ) and Sergei Nanuschjan ( Russian С. С. Нанушьян ), the reliefs were created under the direction of the Lithuanian sculptor Juozas Mikenas ( Russian Юозас Микен ).
