The Victory Memorial Complex is located at the confluence of the Irtysh and the Ulba.
The complex was opened in 1995. The authors of the monument to East Kazakhstan citizens who fell during the Great Patriotic War, 1941-1945, are sculptor V.S. Rappoport and architect S.P. Khristoforov. The outline design of the memorial was made by Ulba Design and Construction Institute (UPKI) of the Production Association "Ulba Metallurgical Plant".
The memorial area of the monument includes a mound - a symbolic burial, an obelisk on a pedestal, an eternal flame, and a memory square. The Wall of Heroes is faced with slabs of red granite with the names of the dead countrymen - Heroes of the Soviet Union cast in bronze; the wall of grief is of grey granite with basic text inscriptions. A stele covered with titanium plates and looking up to the sky is the compositional center. The eternal flame symbolizes the memory of the fallen heroes. The general architectural and artistic solution consists in the use of granite, marble and bronze, giving the whole structure a monumentality.
