One of many German war memorials in Berlin to the dead of the Franco-Prussian War of 1870–71, by Johannes Boese. On the eve of World War I there were no traditions of nationally commemorating mass casualties in war. France and Germany had been relatively recently involved in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870 to 1871.
There are other mass graves in Uman, Bila Tserkva, Cherkasy and Zhytomyr. [11] 9,432 corpses were exhumed following the Vinnytsia massacre. [12] As in Russia and elsewhere, these sites keep appearing, e.g. a mass grave found in 2002 under the floor of a Ukrainian monastery. [13]

The Robespierre Monument (Russian: Памятник Робеспьеру, romanized: Pamyatnik Robyesp'yeru) was one of the first monuments erected in the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (later part of the Soviet Union), raised in Moscow on 3 November 1918 – just ahead of the first anniversary of the October Revolution, which had brought the Bolsheviks to power.

The Bolsheviks had come to power in Russia and many feared that the IWWs intentions were similar, due in part to constant inflammatory allegations of ties between the two. Union members were being arrested across the country on federal sedition charges. IWW members were often targeted by vigilante violence around the region.

Vuchetich's rise was swift. By the end of the World War II, he had already received a commission to create a sculpture group honoring the late General Yefremov (completed in 1946), and was put in charge of designing the Soviet War Memorial in Berlin's Treptower Park. The story of the monument dedicated to General Yefremov is shrouded in mystery.
