Memorial Monument to D. Kalinin

It is good that our country remembers its heroes. In Anapa near Sukko built a memorial monument to the hero of the Red Army Dmitry Kalinin. This hero of the last century died in fierce battles in the defense of Anapa. The monument is clearly visible when you go to Big Utrish. You can get there by bus or taxi that goes by.

The memorial was erected in the middle of the plain. The builders had a flat floor. The obelisk was placed on it. It has a symmetrical shape. On the front wall of the obelisk there is a sign that describes all the exploits of the Black Sea paratroopers. All events took place in May 1943. In the battles distinguished captain Dmitry Kalinin. He did not feel sorry for himself and blew up with him a group of enemy officers who wanted to capture him.

For this feat Dmitry Kalinin was awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union posthumously. On his grave is a tall figure of concrete, depicting the hero in full growth. This monument is visible from afar. After all, its height is more than 5 meters. Every year, local residents, schoolchildren, paratroopers of the Black Sea Fleet come to the monument. They lay flowers and wreaths in memory of the hero.
