Volgograd is a city that is located on the banks of the Volga River. The name of this city itself, rightly shouts about its meaningful position. This is a very big, very interesting and very informative city. In this city, I live familiar from which we stayed for a couple of days with a spouse, during our journey through the cities of Russia. So, this my friend loves his city very much, is a native resident of these places. She told me a lot of interesting facts from history, and a lot of things with its help managed to see. I remember her phrase, as to what she lived in Volgograd all his conscious life, but to this day, continues to do all new and new discoveries in the field of knowledge of city attractions. All the most interesting places she showed us for these two days, I will not be able to describe fully, so I will limit the story about the most interesting sights that left the trail in my memory.
Mamayev Kurgan . It is located in the central region of Volgograd. Perhaps this is the brightest of all the brightest, attractions. At this very place, during the Stalingrad battle, fierce battles were walking, a total duration in two hundred days. Kurgan, is a huge fraternal grave, because the dead soldiers who lost their lives in this battle were buried here. Allegedly, about thirty-four and a half thousand warriors buried here. In the Kurgan, a monument to the ensemble "Heroes of the Stalingrad Battle" is established. Created it under the leadership of the architect Ya.B. Belopolsky and sculptor E.V. Vuchetich, in the period from one thousand nine hundred and sixty-third of the year one thousand nine hundred and sixty-seventh year. In the center of this ensemble, there is a famous for the entire former Soviet Union, the sculpture "Motherland-Mother calls!". We were here in the bright time of the day, and this place made an incredible impression on us with a spouse. Describe those feelings that I experienced stepped on this land is simply not possible, since it is a mixture of delight, fear, respect, and internal trepidation. My friend, said that I saw a mound in the afternoon, we didn't see anything in essence, because all his beauty opens in the dark. Perhaps we next year, we will come to Volgograd for a longer period and then we definitely visit here in the evening.
Museum-Reserve "Stalingrad Battle" . The exposition of the museum, tells visitors about the progress of the turning battle near Stalingrad during World War II. The beginning of this complex was put in one thousand nine hundred thirty-sixth year. It was this year that the Bureau of Stalingrad Cordrichki WCP (b) issued a decision to address the creation of the Tsaritsyn Defense Museum. Stalin. The solemn opening of the museum, took place in January one thousand and nine hundredth of the thirty-seventh year, in the building that once was the defense headquarters of the Tsaritsyn Council of Workers, the Peasant and Cossack deputies. In those days, the exposition of the museum was represented by photographs, documents, honorary awards, weapons, objects of life and clothing. This exhibition, told visitors about the formation of Stalingrad, his history and development. During its existence, the museum has repeatedly changed its name, and its exposition was constantly replenished and updated. The view in which we can see it today, the museum acquired one thousand nine hundred and eighty in the second year, after it was transformed into the Volgograd State Museum-Panorama "Stalingrad Battle". On the eighth of July, one thousand nine hundred and eighty second year, a solemn discovery of the panorama "defeat the German fascist troops near Stalingrad" took place. To date, the museum consists of four dioras and eight exposition halls. The museum boasts such "novelties" as the BC-13 armor and the ruins of the first mill. In one thousand nine hundred and ninety-year-old year, the museum opened an exposition that is dedicated to the Civil War in the south of Russia.
Central Embankment . All embankments in the world are very popular among the population and the embankment in Volgograd is no exception. On this embankment, which, besides, is also called the name of the sixty-second army, a variety of cultural events are held, concerts and competitions are organized. During our visit, there was no cultural program here, however, people were enough here, especially a lot of couples and mammies with strollers. By the way, a little distracted by the topic. Walking with children near water, very helpful. I always thought that the child should be kept away from river dampness, and it turns out that I thought I was so mistaken. Do you know why? The fact is that not only the sea air has miraculous properties, and also river. I learned about it when my eldest son got sick cough. So, there is no better medication from this very unpleasant sore, like walks along the river bank, especially in the early morning watches. Therefore, dear mammies do not be afraid, but often come on such walks, and at any time of the year and with any weather. So, actually about the promenade itself. Development history, this embankment began since more times, how to develop and expand steam shipping on the Volga. Gradually, berths, warehouses and trade routes began to appear, so it is quite natural that attempts began to be taken, to equip the embankment itself and the territory adjacent to it.
The first arrangement was destroyed by cunning landslide and war. Its current view, this embankment of the city of Volgograd received one thousand nine hundred and fifty second year. On the waterfront, it will not be bored either for adults or children, because for the defensive, there are park and attractions, and for adults will probably attend the temple, theater, the inspection of the fountain and other memorable attractions. Do not worry about what you are hungry and you will have no place to have a snack, as it employs very decent and cozy cafes on the embankment, with rather sane prices.
