The sculpture "Weeping Angel" on the Island of Tears in Minsk is an outstanding memorial dedicated to the memory of Belarusian soldiers who fell during the war in Afghanistan (1979-1989). This touching monument was erected on the "Island of Courage and Sorrow" in 1996 and became a symbol of inconsolable grief and memory of the fallen soldiers. The complex is located on a small island on the Svisloch River, in the center of Old Minsk, near the Trinity suburb. The central figure of the memorial is a sculpture of a small crying angel, created by talented sculptor Yu. Pavlov. The angel symbolizes the eternal pain of loss and inconsolable sorrow, embodying the bitterness of mothers who lost their sons in someone else's war. This bronze work impresses with its fragility and emotional depth, arousing feelings of compassion and gratitude among visitors. I recommend you to visit!

A part, in my opinion, almost the main part, albeit a small one, of the memorial complex on the Island of Tears in Minsk. The guardian angel mourns those soldiers whom he failed to save. A hard and sincere monument at the same time, a sculpture that cannot leave you indifferent. We live in a tough, maybe cruel time. The sculptor Yuri Pavlov.
