A monument dedicated to the defenders of the Brest Hero Fortress, who suffered and died from acute water shortage.
The Mukhavets River flows very close, literally a few meters from the walls of the fortress, but its shore was shot through by Fascist machine gunners, and the fortress's water supply was interrupted in the first days of the war.

A monument that touches the strings of the soul, reaches to the very depths and it is impossible to just pass by. No photograph can fully convey its expressiveness, especially in combination with the place.

The Thirst monument with a length of 13 meters was erected in memory of those who died a brave death, saving people in search of water. It is made of reinforced concrete, which is often used for decorations. And the monument weighs about 720 tons.

It's a very sad place. It is sad that some parents allow their children to play near the monument.
