About About the place

The Alyosha Monument is a 36-foot statue of a Russian soldier located atop Bunarjik Hill in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. Erected in 1954, it commemorates the Soviet soldiers who died during the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-1878, which led to Bulgaria's liberation. The monument is a prominent landmark, offering a 360-degree view of the city. Access is solely on foot via various paths, ranging in difficulty. While historically significant, the monument has been subject to debate regarding its symbolism and place in Bulgarian identity.
