In 2017, the authorities decided: the Rzhev Memorial should
be. In 2018, the results of the creative competition were
summed up and one sculpture out of three was chosen. Most
of the money was sent by the Russians. Who donated as much
as they could. Pensioners sent a thousand. Relatives of those
killed in the battles of Rzhev — 5-10 thousand, they often
signed transfers with the names of fallen fighters. They say that
the largest transfer was made by an unknown businessman —
he transferred 150 million rubles for the construction of the
memorial.
