In the Mirny microdistrict, a monument to the Defenders of the Fatherland was ceremoniously unveiled.

      The memorial united the memory of heroes from different eras — from the Great Patriotic War to the special military operation. The Mirny microdistrict gained a new heart on the eve of May 9. A heart that beats in sync with the history of the country. A monument to the Defenders of the Fatherland of all times was unveiled at the City House of Culture. The authors of the idea and the creators tried to encapsulate in granite the memory of different generations of heroes. Those who fought against fascists in the forties. Those who fulfilled international duty in Afghanistan and Chechnya. And those who today, in our days, have taken up the defense of Russia. The gathered people laid the first fresh flowers at the foot of the monument. Red carnations – red, like memory, like pain, like blood shed for Victory.
