The sound of the bell at the Monument of Victory, opened on May 3, 1995, at Prokhorovka Field, carries far around. This place has become a symbol of victories and courage, as well as deep sorrow for the Russians mourning their sons who gave their lives for the freedom and happiness of future generations.

The bell tolls every twenty minutes. The first toll is dedicated to the heroes of the Battle of Kulikovo, the liberators of Rus from the Mongol-Tatars. The second reminds us of the soldiers of Borodino, the faithful sons of Russia. The third toll commemorates the victory in the Battle of Prokhorovka and all those who fell in the fight against fascism.

The sound spreads over the endless fields of Belgorod, where in July 1943 the greatest battle took place, involving over 1200 tanks and self-propelled guns, significant forces of artillery and aviation. These places have been declared sacred, and a state military-historical museum-reserve "Prokhorovka Field" has been created here, including the Monument of Victory and the belfry.

A plaque is installed on the belfry with information about the structure commemorating the 50th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War. The belfry was consecrated by Patriarch Alexy II. The white stone four-sided belfry, 59 meters high, is crowned with a gilded sphere topped with a seven-meter sculpture of the Protection of the Holy Virgin. Beneath the sphere are inscribed words from the Holy Scriptures about the greatest love.

On June 22, 1941, on the day of a church holiday, the enemy invaded our homeland without declaring war. The reliefs on the belfry depict the holy patrons of the Russian land, such as Peter and Paul, Boris and Gleb, Vladimir the Baptist, as well as scenes from history.

The four pillars of the belfry symbolize the four years of war and include twenty-four reliefs with multi-figure compositions. Depicted are saints particularly revered by the Russian people, such as Sergius of Radonezh and Alexander Nevsky. The lower relief reflects the theme of invasion and the suffering of the people.

On the pillar facing the Kursk region is depicted the Icon of the Root Mother of God, the protector of Rus. The third pillar is crowned with the "Holy Trinity," symbolizing the unity of the people, the army, and faith. The reliefs show scenes from the lives of civilians and soldiers.

Victory in the Great Patriotic War was achieved through the efforts of the entire Soviet people. The unity of the front and the rear is reflected in the sculptures of twelve professions. The "Victory" pillar is associated with the symbolism of Saint George. The last relief depicts the Victory Parade on Red Square.

Three alleys lead from the belfry: the oak, birch, and linden, symbolizing the unity of the three fields of martial glory. Bells in Rus have always accompanied the life path of a person, uniting people in the face of the enemy. These sounds return to the Russians along with the memorial prayer.
