Soviet war memorials are memorials commemorating the activities of Soviet Armed Forces in any of the wars involving Soviet Union, but most notably World War II. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, many of the memorials, especially the ones dedicated to the activities of Soviet Armed Forces in former Soviet Bloc countries during World War II, have been removed, relocated, altered or have had their meaning reinterpreted (such as the Liberty Statue in Budapest).

Joseph Stalin is still quoted in stone in German and Russian at least in Treptow[8] and Vienna.[9] Such inscriptions have been generally removed in Soviet Union and Soviet block countries as part of de-Stalinization.
