Memorial Synagogue

Memorial Synagogue is also a part of WWII memorial. It is the only synagogue built in Russia after 1917 and it is the only Holokost museum in Russia. Sorry for bad photo, next time I will change it.

Bell Tower ?

Not far from Synagoge there is a strange building in the park - a belltower. It is not jet completed. It looks like Catholic or Lutheran. VTer Bugulma says that this is "gift of Spanish government as a sign of respect to victims in that war". I have not checked.

Memorial Mosque

Another memorial temple in the Victory Park is mosque. As well as synagogue it is not used as a temple everyday, but only for remembering prayer on Victory Day - 9 May.

Millitary Museum

This is coast artillery on the railway platform. Impressive thing. Stands nearby the mosque.

Here is the part of battle diarama: armoured train with hospital-car, blowed up bridge and remains of "Messerschmitt".

Like in a famouse song of Vladimir Vysotsky:
"They don't even need crosses on graves
One from wings is more than enough..."
