The end of Ulitsa Kirova is marked with Ploschad Pobedy (Victory Square). Located in the centre of the square is a Victory Monument comprising a 30 metre obelisk which was erected in 1966 on the 25th anniversary of the liberation of Kaluga. In 1970 an eternal flame was added and in 1975 the obelisk was topped with a new monument, depicting a representation of Mother Russia holding a ribbon, symbolising the River Oka, in one hand and a satellite in the other.

On the boulevard running up to the square is another war-related monument, depicting an old veteran wearing his medals and sitting on a bench reflecting.

Internationalist Soldier Monument

In 1999 a new monument was unveiled dedicated to soldiers from Kaluga who fought in armed conflicts in foreign states, in particular in Afghanistan. It comprises a statue of a soldier standing in front of a large arch. At the same time as unveiling the monument, a park was established which runs from Ploschad Pobedy up to Ss Cosmas and Damian's Church and is known as Park Voinov Afganistana (Afghanistan Soldiers Park).
