The Monument to the Liberators of Soviet Latvia and Riga from the German Fascist Invaders, unofficially known simply as the Victory Monument, was a memorial complex in Victory Park, Pārdaugava, Riga, Latvia, erected in 1985 to commemorate the Red Army soldiers participating in the recapture of Riga and the rest of Latvia from Nazi Germany at the end of World War II (1944–1945). The complex consisted of a 79-metre tall obelisk and two groups of sculptures – Homeland the Mother and a band of three soldiers.
