"Teplovsky heights" - a monument in honor of defenders of the Motherland, which broke the course of World War II

The Battle of Kursk was a turning point in the Second World War. Soviet troops defeated the Hitlerite army and went on the offensive. The Nazis planned to strike Kursk from Kharkov and the Eagle, to crush the Soviet troops and rush to the south. But, fortunately for all of us, the plans of the Third Reich were not destined to come true. From July 5 to July 12, 1943, the struggle for every scrap of Soviet land continued. After the victory at Kursk, the Soviet troops launched an offensive, and this continued until the end of the war.

In gratitude to the Soviet soldiers for the victory on May 7, 2015 in the Kursk region, the monument "Teplovskie Heights" was opened.

Description

The monument is made in the form of an anti-tank mine. The monument is a three-level observation deck. The upper level is located at a bird's eye height (17 meters). From here you can see the arena of military operations. Teplovskie heights were for the fascists key from Kursk, but it was not possible to get this key to the Hitlerites.

The flag of the USSR flutters above the monument, and the dates of each day of the Battle of Kursk are placed on the railing of the observation deck. Soldiers and officers stood to death, but they did not let the enemy into the city.

Monument "Teplovskie Heights" is installed on the northern facet of the arc. Until recently, this area was not immortalized, although it was of great importance in determining the outcome of the war.

The regional center of Ponyri is famous for the fact that the fate of the peoples of the Soviet Union, and perhaps of all mankind, was being decided here. According to the German plan "Citadel", the enemies were going to close the Kursk Bulge in order to gain access to Moscow. Thanks to the intelligence, it became known that the fascists chose the point of the offensive precisely Ponyri. Here also the battle began, during which German tanks were stopped by living Soviet people ... A museum was opened in memory of the exploits of soldiers in Ponyry.

The village is also famous for its memorial in honor of the defenders of the Motherland. Near the monument there is the Eternal Flame. An important strategic importance was also the railway station, on which reinforcements arrived and tanks were delivered. Also in Ponyryah monuments were erected to the liberator warrior, heroes-sappers, warriors-signalers and heroes of artillery.

Teplovskie heights (Kursk region) - a place of historical memory of the people about the war.

The angel carrying the world

In the Fatezh district of the Kursk region, in the village of Molotynichi, on May 7, the sculpture "Angel of Peace" was opened. On the 27-meter pedestal, the 8-meter-high angel rises. The total length of the monument is 35 meters. The Celestial holds a wreath with a dove of peace.

The composition is equipped with lighting, so at dusk an illusion of the angel's flying above the ground is created. "Angel of Peace" perpetuates the feat of Soviet soldiers who gave their lives for the Victory.

In honor of the 70th anniversary of the Victory on the Fatezh land, a memory alley was built and a geoglyph from pine seedlings was created. The tree became the material for the creation of giant stars with Kursk antonovka in the center. The compositions are visible from the height of the bird's flight and on the satellite images.

The results of the Battle of Kursk made it possible to debunk the myth of the superiority of the Aryan race. The fascists broke off psychologically, and therefore could not continue the offensive further. And the invincible Soviet people once again proved to the world that the true strength is not in aggression, but in love. To the Motherland, relatives and friends.
