Museum of the 62(8)th Combat Guards Army of Marshal V.I. Chuikov

The 62nd Army under Marshal Chuikov took part in the defense of Stalingrad. And for her courage in bloody battles she received the title of 8th Guards. Already in a new rank, under the command of the legendary marshal, Chuikov’s guards army during the Donbass operation liberated Taganrog, Stalino and Mariupol from the fascist troops.

Under the leadership of the permanent director of the Museum of the 62(8)th Guards Army, V. I. Telegin, a unique exposition has been collected containing rare materials about the pilot Devyatayev, who hijacked a plane from fascist captivity, about Ivan Timofeyevich Charichansky, the driver-mechanic of the first tank that broke into Donetsk (Stalino), about the famous pilot who fought in the sky over Makeyevka - Ivan Kozhedub.

At the initiative of Viktor Ivanovich Telegin, a variety of search work is constantly being carried out.

Thanks to the work of the museum, each visitor can learn in more detail the biography, history of battles and merits of the great Soviet marshal. And also to get acquainted with his work. After all, from the pen of the legendary commander came such books as “The Battle of the Century”, “The End of the Third Reich”, “From Stalingrad to Berlin” and others.
