Sambek Heights, Memorial complex in Neklinovsky District, Russia.

Sambek Heights is a memorial site in the Neklinovsky District dedicated to battles of World War II. The grounds display restored tanks, artillery pieces, and other military equipment alongside a museum with documents and objects from the conflict.

The Glory Memorial opened on 7 May 1980 at the highest point near the village of Sambek, honouring the 130th and 416th Rifle Divisions, both named "Taganrog", which fought on the Mius Front in 1943. It was designed by Baku sculptor Elijan Shamilov with Rostov architects V. and I. Grigor, and its opening was attended by an Azerbaijani delegation led by Heydar Aliyev. The wider museum complex opened on 30 August 2020.

The Alley of Memory, at the centre of the complex, holds the graves of defenders of the Don land. At its centre stands a monument to the Soviet soldier-victor, with a Chapel of the Resurrection of Christ at its base. The alley ends with the Height of People's Memory, a sculpture composition "Cranes" by S. N. Oleshnya.

The site is open to visitors during daylight hours, allowing you to walk through outdoor displays and enter the museum building. The paths connecting the exhibits are generally accessible, though some areas may have uneven ground.

The T-26 tank displayed in the interactive "Breakthrough" area was recovered from the Kundruchia River in the Ust-Donetsk district; its wreckage carried the number 532. The complex opened on 30 August 2020, the day Taganrog was liberated, after the planned 9 May opening was postponed by the coronavirus pandemic.
