The total height of the memorial is 70.6 meters. The 35 m high hill is crowned by a sculptural composition of four bayonets tiled with a height of 35.6 meters each. Bayonets symbolize the 1 st, 2 nd, 3 rd Belorussian and 1 st Baltic fronts, which liberated Belarus. Their base encircles the ring with bas-relief images of Soviet soldiers and partisans. On the inner side of the ring, made in the technique of mosaic, the text "Army of the Soviet Army, the Liberation Army - Glory!" Is repulsed. In addition, the base of the obelisk is decorated with images of the Order of the Patriotic War and Glory. From the foot of the mound, encircling it, two concrete staircases lead to the monument, each of which has 241 steps
