Until recently, it was customary to come here one by one or with families. Lay flowers at monuments, tell your children about the war and keep silent, repaying the feat of the Russian soldier. By the way, who does not know, 35 thousand soldiers of the Red Army are buried on the slopes of the Mamayev Kurgan.
