Opposite to the Lenin Monument is Gorokhovets' main memorial to its soldiers who were killed in the Second World War. The main feature of the memorial is a statue of a Soviet soldier holding a gun. Behind him there is large semi-circular plinth which marks the years of the war and has plaques containing the names of the fallen at either end. In addition, there is also a bust of local war hero Aleksandr Besedin slightly up Ulitsa Bratiev Besedinikh (Besedin Brothers Street) which starts at Ploschad Lenina.
