The Russian Monument at San Stefano (Russian: Храм-усыпальница русских воинов, lit. 'The Temple Mausoleum of Russian Soldiers') was a mausoleum and memorial with a chapel built by the Russian Empire in the village of San Stefano (now Yeşilköy, a neighborhood of Istanbul) between 1895 and 1898 to honor Russian soldiers who died in the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-1878. In 1914, during World War I, the Ottoman Empire declared Jihad against Russia, and Ismail Enver Pasha ordered the monument's demolition. This event was famously captured on film by Fuat Uzkınay in "Demolition of the Monument at San Stefano", the oldest known Turkish-made film.
