Monument to the Revolution of the people of Moslavina or simply Monument to the Revolution (Croatian: Spomenik revoluciji naroda Moslavine or Spomenik revoluciji)[1][2] is a World War II memorial sculpture by Dušan Džamonja, located in Podgarić, Berek municipality, Croatia. The monument stands about 10 m high and is 20 m long. It is dedicated to the people of Moslavina during World War II.
The monument is inspired by the Greek mythological goddess of victory Nike.[2] Džamonja built it immersed in the landscape. The metallic structure in the center represents a stylized sun, which is given two asymmetric wings on the sides.[2] The monument was dedicated in 1967 by the president of Yugoslavia, Josip Broz Tito.
