On the esplanade of Fort de la Pompelle, a sober stele recalls a forgotten chapter of the First World War: the deployment of the Russian Expeditionary Force in France. From July 1916 to April 1917, thousands of Russian soldiers fought alongside the French in Champagne. Many died defending Reims. The monument, erected in 2010 with the support of the city of Reims and the Russian embassy, bears inscriptions in French and Russian – a tangible reminder of international solidarity in times of war.
