ZiS-3, 1942 Soviet 76 mm field gun
The ZiS-3 is a field gun from World War II displayed as a war memorial. This artillery piece stands about 1.37 meters high and represents one of the most widely used Soviet cannons during the conflict.
This cannon was developed in the Soviet Union during World War II and became a reliable weapon on the front lines. Its importance to Soviet military operations led to similar models being placed as memorials across the country after the war.
The memorial is typically accessible outdoors and can be viewed by visitors without special preparation. It is worth visiting during a walk through the area if you have interest in wartime history or Soviet military equipment.
The ZiS-3 was one of the most produced field guns of the 20th century and is often overlooked despite symbolizing Soviet industrial capability and war effort. Many visitors do not realize how widespread this model was and the role it played in wartime history.
