Traktorozavodsky district, V. I. Lenin’s avenue

Stop: Mekhanicheskiy institute

The obelisk is a double-sided medallion, a memorial sign in honor of the militia workers of the Stalingrad Tractor Plant. The round forged memorial was opened on V.I. Lenin 02.01.1983.

One side of the obelisk includes three figures of the militia (the central woman with a screw over her shoulder), the other — a row of tanks that stood up to defend the Tractor District. The authors of the project are the sculptor Robert Petrovich Kharitonov and the architect Gennady Mikhailovich Kovalenko.
