I am not from Volgograd itself, but from the region. Somehow, as a child, I already visited Mamaev Kurgan, but then this visit did not evoke the same emotions that at a more mature age. My friend from Kazan! And therefore, to the question "What should I visit in Volgograd? " It is Mamaev Kurgan who first of all comes to mind. It is worth saying that when you are in such a memorable and significant place for the city, your heart shrinks. Emotions overwhelm you from the realization of the feat that our soldiers accomplished in that terrible war.
