The park around the monument is not bad and is a great help spot in the center of the city. The monument itself, though, is as grotesque as anything can be - it is a monument to an invading army in the heart of the invaded country, and is still kept there by the strong influence Russia still had on Bulgaria.

A Powerful and ambigous Monument that you have to visit to get a right knowledge about the controversial past of the city and also of the nation, during the soviet time.
I suggest to visit this place and other footprints made during soviet time with the support of the guides from the "Communist Tour".
You could get some curious info about this monument; for example, that the bulgarian government has not the ownership of it but it still remains a property of russian federation.

The Soviet Union liberated Sofia, Bulgaria to free it from German Facists. I respect the Soviet Union for that.

A monument for a dictatorship... millions died and millions suffered because of communism and they have a monument for the army which started WWII.
They should move it in the socials museum together with all the artifacts from the past (Muzey na sotsialisticheskoto izkustvo)

The park in front if the monument is a very fitting place to hold the Sofia Gay Pride event. Picture shows the park when empty.

Monument to remember the soviet army that "freed" Sofia

Very impressive statue in hour of tge role played by the Soviet army in liberating Bulgaria from fascism at the end of the Second World War. The scale of it, which dwarfs similar monuments for Bulgarian war heros, shows the influence of the Soviet Union in Bulgaria in the post-war period. It is a work of socialist realism, particularly clear on the side panels which show soldiers at work with very vivid features.
