The Soviet War Memorial is a war cemetery and monumental sculpture in Berlin's Treptower Park, designed by Soviet architect Yakov Belopolsky and opened on 8 May 1949. Built to commemorate 7,000 of the approximately 80,000 Red Army soldiers killed during the Battle of Berlin in April–May 1945, it stands as one of three Soviet memorials erected in Berlin after World War II and served as the central war memorial of East Germany. The monument forms part of a triptych alongside the Rear-front Memorial in Magnitogorsk and The Motherland Calls in Volgograd.
