This monument is dedicated to the memory of Russian soldiers and officers who heroically fell in the battles of World War I.

The monument was unveiled in the year marking the centenary of the start of World War I. The idea for its installation belongs to the Russian Military Historical Society. The monument was created entirely from funds raised through public donations organized by the society.

The monument is made of bronze and features a composition of three five-meter figures: an officer, a soldier from the lower classes, and a peasant-soldier. According to the author's concept, these figures, representing three estates, symbolize the unity of the Russian people in the face of war. On the facade of the eleven-meter pedestal, there is a bas-relief depicting a nurse bending over an injured soldier, along with the inscription: "Grateful Russia to the heroes of World War I."
