The guys climbed Mamaev Kurgan. According to them, when you stand at the top at the foot of the Motherland statue, you feel special solemnity and greatness, and the earth itself breathes the memory of the terrible days of the war.

High school students saw the changing of the guard on Mamayev Kurgan - they were struck almost to a millimeter by the honed movements of soldiers. They also visited the museum-panorama “Battle of Stalingrad”, where weapons and personal belongings of the participants of the battle are collected. The exhibits, the famous panorama were examined with a sinking heart, realizing at what cost and what hard work the victory was won.

In addition, students walked through the streets of Volgograd and saw Stalin’s buildings, the embankment and the legendary Pavlov’s house.
