Former Victory Memorial to the Soviet Army

The Soviet-era monument formerly in Uzvaras Park was dismantled in 2022. It is a historical reference, not a standing memorial to seek out.

Why go

The former monument is a historical reference to Soviet-era commemoration and its contested place in Riga’s public memory. Its obelisk and sculpture groups were dismantled in 2022. The removal marks a change in how that history is represented in the city, even though the monument itself can no longer be visited.

Useful to know

  • Do not plan this as a monument visit; the structure was removed in 2022.
