The Volgograd webcam broadcasts a view of the intersection of Zelenodolskaya and Kropotkin streets in real time.
These streets are located in the Traktorozavodsky district on the northern outskirts of the city. The lens hits the road and the private residential sector.
Volgograd, whose webcams are available on the site, is located in the southeast of Russia.
Now more than 1 million people live in the city. The most important page in the history of the settlement is the Great Patriotic War, during which it became a point of defense and the famous Battle of Stalingrad.
Many sights are dedicated to military glory, which is not surprising. One of these can be called Pavlov's House, symbolizing the resilience and heroism of the townspeople during the Battle of Stalingrad. Here, for 58 days, Soviet soldiers heroically held the line.
This house was built in the 30s of the last century on the square. Lenin, which was previously called pl. January 9. During these years, it was an ordinary four-story house, built according to the project of the architect Voloshinov. It had a good location, so the families of party workers lived here.
With the beginning of the war, an order was received to organize defensive points here. Sergeant Pavlov and Lieutenant Zabolotny were appointed commanders of the assault groups. In the autumn of 1942 they entrenched themselves in these houses. Civilians who did not have time to leave the city lived in the basement of this house for several weeks.
When the enemy troops entered the city, they blew up the house, due to which it was partially destroyed. 25 people remained, including Sergeant Pavlov, who continued to guard the house. Despite numerous attacks, Soviet soldiers continued the defense, which lasted 58 days.
Pavlov's house in Volgograd, whose webcams allow you to see urban landscapes in real time, began to be restored almost immediately after the end of the war.
In 1985, during the celebration of the 40th anniversary of the Victory, a memorial wall was installed on the facade, and the house itself received the name of Sergeant Yakov Pavlov. The monument is a dilapidated wall with two inscriptions engraved on it. In addition, the names of the fighters who participated in the defense are indicated here. Not far from this house is the Museum of the Battle of Stalingrad. Now it is an ordinary house in which people live.
Volgograd is not a city with a thousand-year history. It was founded in 1589 and then it was called Tsaritsyn. At the same time, even in such a short time, many glorious days remained on the pages of history, including the Battle of Stalingrad. Live webcams allow you to walk along the streets of the city.
