It was constructed in commemoration of the soldiers died for the liberation of Moldavia and its capital - Kishinev from the fascist invaders at the time of World War II in 1941-1945. The opening took place on 9 May 1975.
The composition of the Memorial of Victory is crowned with the 25-metre pyramid made of five conventionalized rifles that unites the whole complex and simultaneously divides it into the sector of the soldiers' burial place and the square for meetings.

The large five-point star, with the Everlasting Fire, blazing in its centre, is at the base of the pyramid. Along the north-western side of the memorial there are 6 stone steles. The sculptural compositions symbolizing separate fragments of the Great Patriotic War from its first days and up to the Victory day are graven on them. At the base of the steles, along the alley, there are 155 marble gravestones with the names of heroically died warriors. The Memorial territory is paved with white stone slabs. The Memorial authors are sculptors A. Maiko and I. Ponyatovsky, architect A. Minaev.
