Еланский Казачий Музейно-мемориальный комплекс

The memorial complex includes a museum building, monuments to Cossack mothers, and a bronze statue of General Krasnov on the grounds of a Cossack merchant estate.

Established in 2006, the museum preserves materials about Don Cossacks who fought during the Civil War, World War I, and later relocated abroad as emigrants.

The museum collection features traditional Cossack spinning wheels, antique chests, photographs, personal diaries, and documents illustrating the Don Cossack way of life.

Visitors can explore exhibitions with information panels in Russian and English, guided tours, and participate in seasonal Cossack craft fairs during summer months.

The complex walls form a horseshoe shape, symbolizing protection and support for Cossack heritage, designed by sculptor K. R. Chernyavsky.
