Monument "Connection of the Fronts". Take a look at this powerful symbol of an important historical event: the meeting of the forces of the South-West and Stalingrad fronts during the Soviet counter-offensive at Stalingrad on November 23, 1942 a few kilometres away.
This was a turning point in the fighting and the beginning of the liberation of the city from enemy troops.

Sluice No. 13 of the Volga-Don Canal
It is hard to imagine that the idea of a canal goes back to the 16th century. It was then that the Turkish sultan ordered the canal to be dug, but they failed. According to the chroniclers, the Turks left, saying: "Even all the Turkish people can't do anything here in 100 years".
The second attempt to build it was made during the reign of Peter I, but even then failed. The canal was built only in 1952. After several dozens of unsuccessful projects and the Great Patriotic War.
