Soviet-Afghan War Memorial, Yerevan I

            The Soviet-Afghan War memorial in the Victory Park in Armenia's capital Yevevan. It's located on "Heroes Alley" where Soviet-era war heroes in Afghanistan back to the 1930s are commemorated by name. I can find no more information about it.

3,762 Armenians fought with Soviet forces in Afghanistan and 128 died. Yet it is dwarfed in the Armenian imagination by the wars of independence and the independence era, existential for national survival and, for Armenians, vastly more deadly. The dead of those wars are not commemorated in the Soviet-era Victory Park, but 11 km away at Yerablur.

I cannot even find details of the sculptor of this memorial or its date of construction, although it is well-kept and I do know Armenian veterans of the Soviet-Afghan War hold an annual commemoration here.
