A unique immersive installation, one might say a museum on wheels - the Victory Train invites us to plunge into the years of the Great Patriotic War. Victory train 2020.75 years of victory.
the first car of the exposition. It reflects the atmosphere of a train in the spring of 1941. There are only a few months left before the war ...
As we move forward along the carriage, you will notice that the train has started and is gradually picking up speed. Passengers have already taken their seats, settled down more comfortably, and many have already begun to get to know each other.
The story is in the form of a veteran's memoirs. The prototype was a real person - a steam locomotive driver - Elena Chukhnyuk. During the Great Patriotic War, she first drove a steam locomotive with weapons and ammunition to the front line, often under enemy fire, and then led the locomotive convoy at all.
The next car is the Train to the front. Trenches.
This is a train to the front. The enemy is already so close to Moscow that suburban traffic has proven to be quite relevant to deliver the militia to the front line.
the third car is a concentration camp.
During the war, the prisoners had to be transported somehow, but how the fascists did it, we contemplate in this car.
Car 4 - The ambulance car and science and the theme of the feat of Soviet scientists.
First, we find ourselves in the ambulance car of that time. Shown are the uncomplicated life of the wounded, medical devices.
I was especially interested in a selection of punched medals and orders, bullets and shrapnel recovered from soldiers.
Of course, no operations were performed in such a car, but in general there were operating carriages.
Here, the topic of recovery from injuries is more revealed.
Here we have Sergey Pavlovich Korolev and Igor Vasilievich Kurchatov. Each made his own scientific contribution to the victory.
During the war, Korolev developed the RD-1 jet engine for installation on airplanes, which later ended up, of course, everyone knows, and Kurchatov at first developed a method for demagnetizing ships so that they would not be blown up by enemy magnetic mines. By the way, Igor Vasilyevich and his partner coped with their task brilliantly, for which they received the USSR State Prize. And in 1942, Kurchatov began developing the Atomic bomb.
In the fifth car we find ourselves in a real bathhouse with the Nazis.
We pass the shower room and here in front of us ... Field Marshal Paulus.
Actually, he became a field marshal the day before his capture. In the same message, Hitler unequivocally hinted that not a single Reich Field Marshal had yet been captured ... alive.
A kind of deathbed gift, you know ... But Paulus for some reason did not start shooting and Stalin got such a fat ace in his deck.
Well, at this time the blockade of Leningrad continued. Before us is the train journey to the besieged city. There is a wind here, though not cold. And where do so many cats come from? The audio guide will open the veil of secrecy. Actually, all the living creatures in the city were quickly eaten and then rats appeared on the scene ... a lot, and a cat intervention was carried out to fight them.
An unexpected but logical explanation for so many mustachioed travelers.
But now we are in the staff carriage, here the dogs no longer bark and the wind does not blow.
we pass the signalman and the sleeping place and here we have a study.
The composition tells about the history preceding Operation Bagration performed by Marshal Konstantin Konstantinovich Rokossovsky. Another successful operation of the Red Army along with the Battle of Stalingrad, the consequences of which we saw in the previous car.
The essence of this story is that the blow was struck through difficult terrain, where the enemy did not expect a massive blow. Hence, such bogshoes. They say Rokossovsky personally examined the area.
But what about without an armored train? We are just at the observation deck of one of the carriages of such a train. Nearby there is a machine-gun platform with traces of a bomb hit or there may be mines. The roof is no longer a roof, but for some reason everything else has not suffered.
At the beginning of the war, the Red Army had about 50 armored trains. In the first two years, the losses were colossal - 42 and 45, respectively, but they continued to build and gain experience. And in 1943, only two trains were lost, and then there were no losses at all. As a result, there were about 140 of them at the end of the war.
We leave for the last car of the exposition. Long-awaited victory! Spring 1945!
Bouquets of flowers, a photo for memory, outside the window trains going back. Home.
And of course the memoirs.
