The Russian Chapel (Slovene: Ruska kapela na Vršiču) is a Russian Orthodox memorial chapel located on the Vršič Pass road (1611 m) in northwestern Slovenia. It was built by Russian prisoners of war engaged in forced labor in the area during World War I. On 8 or 12 March 1916 (sources vary), an avalanche buried a POW work camp, killing approximately 110 prisoners and about 7 guards. During the time of the construction there were more than 380 casualties in total. Between 1916 and 1917, the remaining prisoners built a small wooden memorial chapel.

Château de Pinon im August 1918. Das zwischen Laon und Soissons in der Region Aisne gelegene Schloss war um 1700 von dem berühmten Architekten Hardouin-Mansart gebaut worden; es wurde im Kriege als Unterkunft, Magazin und Lazarett genutzt, bei den heftigen Kämpfen um die berüchtigte Laffaux-Ecke, einem Frontvorsprung an der deutschen Frontlinie, schließlich nachhaltig zerstört und nach Kriegsende nicht wieder aufgebaut.
