Soviet War Cemetary Šalčininkai

In Šalčininkai, next to the bus station, is a small Soviet cemetery for World War II soldiers. The small park on a street corner consists of:
- a memorial stone that states that this place is used to commemorate Soviet soldiers who died in the period 1941-1945.
- 3 plaques with several dozen names of those who died in the neighborhood
- the central statue of a kneeling soldier with a flag with the grave of a fallen hero of the Soviet Union on both sides.
