The monument "Warrior-Liberator" in Treptow Park was opened on May 8.1948 and is a symbol of the Victory of the Soviet people in the Great Patriotic War and World War II, the liberation of the peoples of Europe from fascism. The 12-meter-high monument stands on a mound; a memorial hall with a mosaic panel is made in its pedestal. There are different versions about who posed for the sculptor Vuchetich, but this is not so important. And the plot of the sculpture with the rescue of a German girl on April 30.1945 during the storming of Berlin was repeated more than once in reality during the liberation of Germany. When I visited here for the first time in 1976, there was nowhere for the apple monument to fall, now there is an audience on holidays when the Victory is celebrated, but at other times there are almost no people - generations who knew the war firsthand are gradually leaving. The current generation of history knows little!
