The Marsove Pe military memorial is located on Mechnikova Street in Lviv. Previously, the site hosted a military cemetery for the fallen sdiers from the Austrian army and allies who died in World War 1. By 1927, there had been almost 5,000 individual graves at the site. In 1946-1947, the bodies were exhumed, and a cemetery for Soviet sdiers and NKVD officers was established. In the 1970s, a memorial was created at Marsove Pe and the victims of Soviet terror from the Zamarstynivka Prison were reburied there.
