'''"Brotherhood"''' ({{lang-cs|Sbratření}}) is a sculpture by the Czech artist [[Karel Pokorný]], which became the basis for monuments of the [[Prague Offensive]] during [[World War II]]. There are such monuments in [[Prague]], [[Česká Třebová]], [[Sankt Petersburg]] and the [[Crimea]]. The sculpture depicts the meeting of a Soviet soldier and a Czech militia in May 1945. Art critics evaluate "Brotherhood" as one of the best works of [[socialist realism]].{{CN|date=August 2023}} This sculpture gained great popularity and became a symbol of friendship between the peoples of [[Russia]] and [[Czechoslovakia]].{{citation needed|date=August 2023}} Her image was placed on stamps, coins, banknotes, etc.
