On 9 May 2016 on occasion of the 71st Anniversary of the Allied Victory over Fascism in the WWII the representatives of the victorious countries, war veterans from Britain, Europe and the post-Soviet countries as well as the heads of diplomatic missions in the UK laid wreaths at the Soviet War Memorial located in Geraldine Mary Harmsworth Park, adjacent to the Imperial War Museum. Charge d'Affaires a.i. of the Embassy of Tajikistan to the UK Asliddin Rakhmatov also laid a wreath at the monument.

The Soviet War Memorial was unveiled on 9 May 1999. The bronze sculpture “Sorrowful” is the semi-abstract figure holding aloft a bell which will forever remain silent in memory of those who died. The memorial was designed by Russian sculptor Sergei Shcherbakov and made in Russia.

The granite memorial tablet was made by British stonemason Gary Breeze. The main inscription on the stone reads:
ВЕЧНАЯ ВАМ ПАМЯТЬ

This memorial commemorates the 27 million Soviet citizens & service men& women who died for the Allied Victory in WWII
WE SHALL REMEMBER THEM
