Renovated Memorials Unveiled in Pervouralsk and Rivne (PICTURED)

Rewritten Article:

Denis Pasler, acting governor of Sverdlovsk Oblast, honored the past with the dedication of two refurbished memorials in Perm and Revda before Victory Day. These emotional events drew local residents, including veterans of the Great Patriotic War, to pay their respects.

The revitalized monuments in the region, numbering around 1,500 memorials, obelisks, and victory statues, serve as a testament to the unity between the front and rear lines that played a vital role in achieving victory in 1945. With flowers in hand, locals, along with their families, paid tribute to those who sacrificed so much.

At the unveiling of the revitalized monument in Revda, "To the Heroes of the Earth, Who Forged Victory on the Front and in the Rear, 1941-1945," Pasler shared, "These memorials remind us of the incredible bond between generations."

Originally constructed in 1966, the Revda memorial had deteriorated over time. In 2025, a precise replica was created through a partnership between the regional administration and business leaders.

ThePerm obelisk commemorates the warrior-new pipe workers, who transitioned from industrial work to military duty or dedicated themselves to supporting the war effort. The memorial, first installed in the 1960s for the 20th anniversary of the Great Patriotic War's end, underwent a reconstruction in honor of the 80th anniversary of victory. Memorial plaques bearing the names of hundreds of plant workers were replaced, and the neighbourhood was landscaped.

The Perm New Pipe Plant played a crucial role during the war, manufacturing pipes for aircraft, tanks, rocket technology, and other types of weaponry. The plant mastered 129 new pipe designs, and over 6,000 workers joined the front lines.

In a nod to these historical events, Elena Vladimirova of Perm shared her long-standing devotion to documenting stories from the Great Patriotic War, encouraging the community to share their own memories and experiences.
