Why is there a monument to Soviet pilots in WUHAN! RBTH 20 May 2021, 16:54 GMT+10 Soviet pilots showed miracles of endurance and heroism helping China in its war with Japan. Once they even ruined the Japanese emperor s birthday. Walking through the Liberation Park in central Wuhan, the city now globally infamous as the place where the coronavirus pandemic started, you come across an eight-meter-tall obelisk which carries, among others, the following inscription: The memory of Soviet pilots will live forever in the hearts of the Chinese people. The monument marks a mass grave with the remains of nearly 30 Soviet servicemen. The fact that at the very end of World War II, in August 1945, the Red Army liberated the northeastern part of China - Manchuria - from Japanese occupation is well known. But what were Soviet pilots doing in another part of the country, in Wuhan, and what did they do to earn such gratitude from the Chinese people?
