In the center of the memorial sits a soldier. He has his rifle in one hand, and his other arm rests over a raised knee. The soldier has his head bowed and he is staring intently at the ground. Etched upon his face is the emotion of complete powerlessness, horror, defeat and devastation. This strong soldier tears at your heart and evokes emotions of terror and tragedy, for lives that were taken, maimed and lost in both Afghanistan and Chechnya. The soldier was erected in 1996 after the Afghanistan and First Chechen War, and the curved black pillars that flank him, are arranged in date order, and bare the names of the soldiers lost in Afghanistan and Chechnya. The Yekaterinburg War Memorial, or Black Tulip War Memorial, stands as reminder to all those that visit Ekaterinburg, of the unnecessary loss of life and environmental damage that is suffered at the hands of war.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6049238/281c444f-f46d-4827-8087-726aa2f88b14.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ![Urals view from Mt.
