Burst monuments, World War II memorial site in Volokolamsky District, Russia.
Burst Monument is a war memorial in Volokolamsk consisting of a granite pedestal with engraved dates and a paved square at its center. Reconstructed trenches and an authentic tank surround the site, marking the defensive line where soldiers fought.
The memorial was built in 1981 to honor soldiers who defended against German attacks near Moscow in 1941. It marks a location where a small group of fighters held a critical position.
The name refers to the destruction of enemy tanks at this strategic location. Visitors can walk through reconstructed trenches that show how soldiers held their defensive positions here.
The memorial sits along the Volokolamsk Highway and is straightforward to reach on foot. The grounds are open and easy to navigate, allowing visitors to move freely around the site.
An authentic German tank was recovered from a nearby swamp and now sits as part of the memorial. This discovery provides a direct link to what happened at this location during the Battle of Moscow.
