Post #6888

📍A memorial has been erected in the city of Liege, Belgium, in honor of the Allied forces that liberated Europe during World War I. 📍The monument, created by father and son Alexander and Igor Burganov, is part of a memorial erected in 1968. 📍Russia handed over the sculpture “Russian and Soviet soldiers who fell during the First and Second World Wars”. 📍In the center of the composition is a Russian monument installed in 2001 with the support of the Center for the Preservation of Russian War Graves Abroad under the Russian Ministry of Culture. The base is engraved with an inscription in Russian and French: “To Russian and Soviet soldiers who fell during the First and Second World Wars”. 📍The monument required restoration over time. The project was developed by the Belgian Federation of Russian-speaking Organizations and the non-profit association “Meridian” with the support of the Russian Embassy in Belgium and local authorities. #Russia#WorldWar
