Pavlov's House or the Story of Incredible Courage and Bravery

Architectural Monuments • Other places

The Battle of Stalingrad was one of the bloodiest, scariest and, at the same time, the most heroic pages of the Second World War. The fights in this city greatly differ from battles: they had to struggle and fight to death for every street, every house. One of these houses in the then Stalingrad was the famous Pavlov’s House, a usual residential high-rise block of the Regional Consumer’s Association, which a group of Soviet soldiers defended under the command of Senior Sergeant Yakov Pavlov.

The defenders of Pavlov’s House fought to the death for 58 long days, not allowing the enemy to break through to the Volga. Pavlov's House was flagged as a fortress on the military maps of Field Marshal Paulus, whose forces were routed by the Soviet Army at Stalingrad. The Germans failed to seize the building and only two of the 26 valiant defenders of the house died! On its walls you can still see the triumphal inscription: "This house was defended by the guards of sergeant Yakov Pavlov!" Near Pavlov’s House is another monument – the stone monument to Cherkasov’s Movement. Alexander Cherkasov was the author of the volunteer initiative of Stalingrad’s women for the restoration of the beloved city after the battle. The restoration started with the legendary Pavlov’s House.
