The national memorial complex "Height of Marshal Konev" was opened after reconstruction in 2003, on the eve of the 60th anniversary of the liberation of Kharkiv from the Nazi invaders.
In 1943, the headquarters of the commander of the Steppe Front was located here, from where Marshal Konev, in order to save the city from destruction, ordered a night assault on Kharkiv, and the next day the city was liberated. About half a million soldiers died in the battle, but this operation initiated the liberation of all of Ukraine.
The "Height of Marshal Konev" memorial was built in 1965, in 2003 a complete reconstruction was carried out. The complex includes a 17.5-meter-high stele, an exhibition of military equipment, a chapel in honor of John the Warrior, and the museum "Kharkiv region in the Second World War 1941-1945".
Konev's command post is reproduced in one of the museum's halls, and his last uniform is on display.
