The Russian Monument is a historical memorial erected by Arna Mållag in 1985. The monument commemorates five unknown Russian prisoners of war who were buried at Arna Cemetery in 1947, after being shot in 1942 during World War II. This memorial marks an important part of war history and is a symbol of the tragic fates of prisoners of war.

The website krigsgraver.no, run by the Falstadsenteret, contains information about Soviet citizens who were buried in Norway during the war. Part of this project is "Krigsgraver søker namn", which helps to document and identify those who lost their lives. The Russian Monument stands as an important memorial in Bergen, and it helps to preserve the history of those who suffered during the war.
