Why is there a monument to Soviet pilots in WUHAN! RBTH 20 May 2021, 16:54 GMT+10 Soviet pilots showed miracles of endurance and heroism helping China in its war with Japan. Once they even ruined the Japanese emperor s birthday. Walking through the Liberation Park in central Wuhan, the city now globally infamous as the place where the coronavirus pandemic started, you come across an eight-meter-tall obelisk which carries, among others, the following inscription: The memory of Soviet pilots will live forever in the hearts of the Chinese people. The monument marks a mass grave with the remains of nearly 30 Soviet servicemen.
