Krolevetska City Council

1053 residents of the city died on the fronts of the Second World War and in partisan units. In 1967 (rec. 1974), a memorial sign was erected in honor of the fallen soldiers-compatriots: a reinforced concrete sculpture of a soldier encased in copper on a pedestal made of natural stone. In front of the pedestal there is a rosette of the Eternal Flame with a relief inscription. Behind the sculpture is a three-part concrete slab lined with polished marble slabs. On the left, in the upper corner, there is a bas-relief image of the Order of the Patriotic War, on the right, in the form of a flag, there are embossed dates: "1941 - 1945". There is a relief inscription on the central one. In the lower part of the central stele, on a trapezoidal concrete elevation lined with granite slabs, there is a concrete sculptural group: a soldier's helmet and a machine gun on an oak garland. On both sides of the sculpture there are horizontal slabs lined with granite slabs, on which there are 42 memorial slabs with the names of the dead. In 2005, a memorial plaque was installed on the ceiling on the left in honor of the victims of fascism and the fallen soldiers of the villages of Andriivka and Podilova, which are now part of the city.
