Large Soviet-era war memorial on Krasnyy Prospekt honoring WWII heroes; strong sculptural lines, solemnness and an eternal flame make it a compelling subject. Easy city-center access by tram/bus; limited street parking. Visit at sunrise or blue hour for dramatic light and fewer people; winter snow adds stark contrast. No entry fee; observe respectful distance during ceremonies (Victory Day sees large crowds).
