📍Vienna, Schwarzenbergplatz, May 9
🔴 On Victory Day, Head of Delegation Mr. Konstantin Gavrilov, Ambassador of Russia to Austria Dmitrii Lyubinsky, Permanent Representative to International Organizations Mikhail Ulyanov, Permanent Representative to the OSCE Alexander Lukashevich and ambassadors of the #CIS countries laid flowers at the monument to the Soviet soldier.
🎖The decision to install the monument in Vienna was made by the Soviet mil command even before the Red Army entered Austria, since there was no doubt about the success of the Vienna offensive operation. After the devastating battles for the Nazis near Lake Balaton in Hungary in February 1945, the military council of the 4th Guards Army of the 3rd Ukrainian Front announced a competition for the design of the monument.
▪️The names of the soldiers who died heroically during the capture of Vienna are carved on the pedestal. In the battles for this city, 18,000 Red Army soldiers died, and during the liberation of Austria - 27,000.
