Kazan, Victory Park. Sights of Kazan

Kazan, the capital of Tatarstan, is an amazing place. In this city there are many sights: ancient and new. The city is being intensively rebuilt, and many international meetings of various levels are held there.

Originally from the USSR

Often the main city of Tatarstan is called the third capital of our country. One of the most beautiful cities of modern Russia is Kazan. Victory Park is in many localities of the Russian Federation, it exists in this city. They laid it down, although under Soviet rule, but relatively recently in 1978. The very idea of creating a park was beautiful, and the place of city authority was allocated specifically for it - nothing was demolished, just drained swamps. The area occupied by the park is 50 hectares. After the preparation of the territory, the alleys were broken and the trees were planted in quantity corresponding to each day of the war, totaling 1418 pieces.

Have had time for the round date

The hard times came, which the country experienced and began to revive. It's time to return to the projects started and unfinished due to lack of funds for construction. All these difficult years, Kazan Victory Park gradually improved, and in 1995 on its territory laid and began to build a museum. And here the trees also grew. An exhibition of military equipment was organized. And in 2005, to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the surrender of fascist Germany, Victory Park was inaugurated.

For 27 years Kazan built Victory Park: statues and obelisks were built, a museum was built. As a result, many objects related to that great war were collected here.

The Eternal Flame Memorial

And of course, like in many other parks dedicated to these events that affected each family, his heart is the Eternal Flame. The memorial is located near one of the entrances to the park.

It is surrounded by a pantheon, on the tablets of which the names of residents of Tatarstan who gave their lives for their Motherland are imprinted. Among them - 200 Heroes of the Soviet Union and 29 cavaliers of the Order of Glory. Seven stelae, each of which is dedicated to one of the seven rifle divisions (they were created in Kazan), were fixed on the memorial around the memorial, the names of the soldiers were immortalized. It is clear that the memorial is the main venue of the Victory Parades. The whole Kazan bears flowers here. Victory Park on this day is particularly transformed. At the Eternal Flame, young residents of the capital of Tatarstan stand guard.

Stela and open-air museum

A little further, in the depths of the park, along the main alley, there is a 42-meter stele "Victory", crowned by a wreath of leaves of the laurel - a wreath of winners. The Order of Victory decorates the beautiful beauty.

At the very foot of the "Victory" are statues of a warrior and mother with a child in his arms. In many cities in similar parks the most popular place is a museum of military equipment, which is under the open sky. But in Kazan this huge museum is here, besides tanks, armored vehicles, howitzers and artillery pieces, there is the legendary Katyusha, planes, including the famous MiG. In addition, there are helicopters here, and the Luna-M missile system has also been brought here to the eternal parking lot, but all the military equipment exhibited is in excellent condition. And recently, by the Day of the Navy, a refurbished cabin was put here from the submarine K-403 "Kazan". A bell was hung around the felling, and the country and the city were decorated with the coats of arms. You can imagine how much joy gives children the opportunity to climb into the cockpit of the plane or squeeze into the tank!

Place of worship

In order to form the necessary number of avenues the trees were planted in a certain way: it was initially planned that each of them would belong to a certain kind of army. The alley of mothers, widows, women in general, whose lives have been re-enacted by the war, is also here.

But Victory Park is not only a place of sorrow and worship of the great feat of Soviet people, residents of Tatarstan. He turned, by the efforts of the authorities, into the favorite place of rest for the townspeople, and this is the best memory for the dead.
