Mius-front

The Mius-front memorial features a T-34/85 tank at the entrance followed by a long stairway leading to a central concrete monument structure.

German forces constructed a 40-kilometer defensive line along the Mius River in 1941, which remained a major battlefield until Soviet forces breached it in 1943.

The memorial stones display inscriptions honoring military units, formations, and Heroes of the Soviet Union who fought in the intense battles of this region.

The memorial complex stands at coordinates 48.126944, 38.793056, with multiple information panels explaining the military operations that occurred at this location.

Local mine workers provided construction materials, including rails from nearby mines, to build the extensive fortification system that stretched across 800 settlements.
