The Socialist Realism architectural style makes an interesting contrast to the nearby Pechersk Lavra, with its golden domes which can be seen from a viewing platform. Opened by Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev in 1981, the memorial complex commemorates the German-Soviet War.
With over 300,000 exhibits, centered on the 62-metre high Motherland Monument, the complex includes a museum, an eternal flame, plaques honouring heroic Soviet cities and an outdoor display of military planes and other equipment from various wars.
