Monument to members 7. Guards Brigade PUMA

The “Puma” monument is in Varaždin, in the park named after the 7^th Guards Brigade, “Puma”. It was erected on 23^rd April 2014, to honour the 7^th Guards Brigade, “Puma” and was built by Krešimir Rod, an academic sculptor.

The sculpture itself is made of white stone called “plano”, and it is laid on the pedestal made of green diabase. It represents a lying puma, calm and dignified in its strength. It is a symbol of the unit which triumphed in victory, a symbol of the unit which completed its task.

The 7^th Guards Brigade, “Puma”, was founded on 23^rd December 1992 in Varaždin. During the Homeland War it was engaged in combat operations “Winter 94”, “Leap 1”, “Summer 95”, “Storm”, “Mistral” and “Southern Move”. The unit’s crowning achievement was liberation of the Croatian royal town of Knin. Its members entered the town first, and erected the Croatian flag on the Knin fortress on 5^th August 1995. Rebel Serbs’ military and political leadership was stationed in Knin, so its liberation facilitated and shortened further course of the military operation “Storm”. “Puma’s” last military operation, “Southern Move”, ended the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, as Croatian forces came within reach of Banja Luka, rebel Serbs’ capital, therefore forcing their leaders to negotiate. This resulted in Dayton Agreement. You can find more details on the 7^th Guards Brigade, “Puma” history on the following link.

The 7^th Guards Brigade, “Puma” was disbanded on 7^th July 2003. There were around 4,500 members in the unit throughout its history, 91 of them were killed, 1 missing in action and around 500 were wounded or injured.

The monument in Varaždin is one way in which citizens of Varaždin remember the 7^th Guards Brigade, “Puma” and its members.
