Abstract: The article summarizes information about memorial sites in the Murmansk region dedicated to the Great Patriotic War. The data are systematized based on the analysis of guidebooks from different years, Codes of Monuments in the Murmansk Region, and interactive maps. The total number of objects in populated areas and outside settlements is given. The numerical dynamics of monuments erected in the Soviet period, the 1990s and 2000s, as well as their spatial and settlement distribution in the region are revealed. The largest number of objects, including large memorials, are located in border areas that were combat zones. In the Murmansk region, memorial traditions regarding the Great Patriotic War were preserved even in the turning point of the 1990s.
