Russargrava is a historical landmark in Bergen that marks the burial site of Soviet citizens who lost their lives during World War II. It is the resting place of five Soviet soldiers, who were buried in the autumn of 1945. The graves were moved from a previous burial site at Rolland, and the memorial was erected by local authorities in 1946 as a symbol of the memory of those who fell during the war.

The site contains an inscription with a message of peace and reconciliation, reflecting the desire to honor those who have sacrificed their lives. Russargrava is also part of the project "Krigsgraver søker namn", which is run by the Falstadsenteret. There are plans for a future expansion of the project to include all foreign war graves in Norway, which will contribute to a broader recognition of the international consequences of the war.
