Victory Monument is a significant landmark in Minsk, Belarus, commemorating the Soviet victory in World War II. The monument consists of a 125-foot granite obelisk at the center of a busy intersection, surrounded by four sculpted panels depicting scenes related to the war and the 9 May 1945 victory. An eternal flame burns continuously, serving as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the conflict. The square is a focal point for commemorative events and a testament to the historical significance of the war in Belarus. It is one of many grand Soviet-style monuments found throughout the city.
This attraction is best suited for those interested in history, particularly World War II and Soviet-era monuments. It may also appeal to those seeking a quiet moment of reflection.

The monument itself may not be particularly engaging for young children. Stroller access is possible on the paved pathways, but supervision is essential due to the surrounding traffic. There are no dedicated facilities for children.
Pets are not specifically mentioned as being allowed or prohibited, but the busy traffic makes it unsuitable for pets.
