According to its official website, the Memorial Complex of Glory of A. A. Kadyrov is the most prominent memorial complex in the country. Built in just 6 months, it occupies the territory of 5,000 m3. In its design and decoration, it can be compared with world famous architectural monuments and it is likely that the complex will be registered into the World Heritage List by UNO.
The memorial complex opened in May, 2010. It starts with this square located on the Alley of Glory.
‘Akhmat Kadyrov is the leader we waited for!’
In the middle of the square there is a monument to Hero of the Soviet Union Movladi Visaitov.
At age 17, Movladi Visaitov forged his documents to join the army. Among his decorations there are the Order of Lenin, order of the Red Banner, Order of Suvorov, Order of the Red Star, Medal for Combat Service, Medal for the Defence of Stalingrad and Medal For the Victory Over Germany In the Great Patriotic War 1941–1945. He died at age 73 in Grozny.
In front of this 40-meter gilded tower, there is an eternal flame.
‘The USSR, Victory’.
Police officers register all photographers and journalists making reports on the memorial complex.
Unfortunately, some of the bas-reliefs are under reconstruction already (not this one).

Beautiful, worth seeing physically
Can anyone say “Cult of Personality”?
What a waste of money.
Unfortunately, Muslim leaders are always like that…
What a tasteless joke.
This is Stalinism. Nothing to show off except your naked egotism. I’ll go look at a dead tree and be more impressed.
Yes I agree – extremely boring.
Every nation has the government it deserves. Dixi.
Clever placement of money coming from Russian tax-payers. A monument to local Bin-Laden. Nice.
Nul points!!
Our Kavkaz buddies would much rather forget Kadyrov.
” it is likely that the complex will be registered into the World Heritage List by UNO.” Yeah, right, probably just after the monuments of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jon Il under the heading: havinga good laugh with ugly tasteless monuments.
