Postcard made in the Soviet Union, 1986. On the postcard there is the monument “Monument Of Glory” in Samara, formerly known as Kuybyshev. The Monument of Glory is the focal point of Slavy Square in Samara, Russia, overlooking the Volga river to the north-west.
It is dedicated to the Kuybyshev workers of aircraft industry, who were working hard during and following the Great Patriotic War. The monument is one of the most prominent symbols of Samara. Moscow sculptors Pavel Bondarenko, Oleg Kiryuhin and architect A. Samsonov created a design of the thirteen-meter-tall figure, made from high alloy steel with wings raised over his head and forty-meter pedestal. The pedestal symbolizes ray of light rising to the sky.
The monument was erected between 1968 and 1971 for donations of Kuybyshev workers and other staff members of production plants. Every worker could donate only one rouble. Kuybyshev mayor’s office chose a place for the monument in the city centre in the Leninsky district. The opening ceremony took place on 5 November 1971.
