The intersection of Skolny Pereulok and Pervomaisky Prospekt forms Ploschad Pobedy (Victory Square) and as is to be expected there is a Victory Monument here dedicated to the Soviet Victory in the Second World War. The monument comprises a star-shaped eternal flame surrounded by a wreath in front of a statue of victorious troops holding a banner in the air. Next to this is a tall pillar bearing the Order of the Patriotic War. Behind the whole complex is a curved wall with inscriptions celebrating the heroism shown by the people during the war.
