The former monument is a historical reference to Soviet-era commemoration and its contested place in Riga’s public memory.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.
