Memorial April 9th on the Alley of Heroes

The April 9 Memorial is a symbol of memory and mourning in Georgia for the tragic events of 1989, when a peaceful opposition rally was brutally dispersed by Soviet troops. That night became one of the defining moments in the struggle for Georgian independence, as well as a symbol of the resilience and steadfastness of the Georgian people in their quest for freedom and democracy.

The memorial serves as a reminder that freedom and independence have a price, and emphasizes the importance of remembering and respecting those who gave their lives for the people's right to live in a free state.
