Victory Day celebrations are among the most popular holidays of the year here.
There was bitter fighting here in 1943 during the Great Patriotic War and the Soviet Army won an important victory here.
The war veterans from all over the district gather at the motorway crossing at the foot of the Politruk Memorial (Political Commissar Memorial) erected in 1980 and dedicated to the heroic deed of Lieutenant Yeryomenko who led the soldiers into battle in this district in 1943 and died.
The monument looks very impressive from the motorway.
It became one of the symbols of Luhansk region too.
Political Commissars were propaganda officers and were present in every army unit during the war.

There is still a lot of restoration work inside.
