One of the attractions Svisloch, Grodno region is a memorial complex “Asilak” with a massive statue in the center. The memorial was solemnly opened in July 1989, on the 45th anniversary of the city's liberation from German occupation. The idea of such an unusual monument belongs to the Minsk artist and sculpture Tsompel Pavel Oksanovych. Together with two architects, Kazakov and Karpyuk, they first made a small prototype of the sculpture, and then gradually enlarged each copper sheet to assemble the Svisloch Volat.
