Pavlov's House
Дом Павлова
A four-storey apartment block held for 58 days by a small unit of Soviet troops. It was restored after the war and is still lived in, and its gable has a memorial wall with relief.
Pavlov’s House is a four-storey apartment block on Lenin Square. From September 1942, Sergeant Pavlov and some twenty-odd soldiers held it for nearly two months, repelling repeated German attacks. It became a Soviet propaganda symbol of stubborn resistance. It was among the first buildings restored after the war, and it is still a residential building. The gable facing the square has a memorial wall and relief, and the back side is a memorial wall built of bricks. The exterior can be viewed for free. It is across from the Panorama Museum, a 2-minute walk away.
