Soviet War Memorial. Sowjetisches Ehrenmal (Tiergarten). Berlin 1952.
In 1952, the Soviet War Memorial in Berlin's Tiergarten is enveloped in extensive wooden scaffolding. At the monument's apex, a statue of a soldier in a winter coat and helmet holds a rifle. The latticework of beams also encases the tall pedestal, through which Cyrillic text commemorating the Soviet Union and the year 1945 is visible. Wreaths rest on the wide steps at the base, while a uniformed man, a woman in a patterned dress, and a small dog walk through the sunlit plaza.
