Ladies and gentelmen!  Gymnasia №10 welcomes you. We are going to show you some sights of Volgograd. We offer you a wonderful excursion "Historical Volgograd".

Volgograd is one of the most beautiful old cities of Russia. It is located in the south-eastern European part of Russia. The city was built as a fortress on the right bank of the Volga. The date of its birth is July 2, 1589.

 Now we are in the square devoted to the Fallen Fighters. We have only 5 minutes to see this square. Arter that the modern comfortable tourist bus will take us to the panoramic museum "The Battle of Stalingrad" and as it has been promised you will be able to see the fascinating scenery of Volgograd from the most beautiful embankment of the river.

 So, let's go to the Brothers grave and during our walk I will tell you about all around us. Pay attention to this building. It is the Volgograd Post office which was constructed in 1955. To the left you can see hotel "Intourist" built in a classical style in 1958. Here you can also see the Drama Theatre with New Experimental Theatre in it. It was built by a merchant Repnikov in 1915. It was ruined during the war but was rebuilt in 1952. In 1989the New Experimental Theatre found hisplace seat here. Right in front of it there is a monument to Alexander Nevsky which was erected on February, 24, 2007 in front of the theatre. A. Nevsky is considered to be a celestial protector of Volgograd. Now we’ve come to the Brothers grave of the city’sdefenders in 1919. A 6 m high obelisk was constructed on this place. In 1942 about 100 fighters, defenders of Stalingrad were buried here. And in 1957 a new black-and-red granite 26 m. high obelisk was erected on the grave.  The Eternal Flame has been here since 1963. Since 1966 one has been able to see the change of the guard here. The best schoolboys and schoolgirls stay here in the guard. Not far from Eternal Flame there is an international grave of 3 fighters. They defended Stalingrad from the fascists: a Spaniard Ibarruri Ruben Ruis, a Russian pilot Kamenshikov Vladimir Grigorjevich and a Tartar Hafis Fatjahuddinov. In the square of the Fallen Fighters you can see a poplar-tree. It is the only tree left after Stalingrad Battle. That`s why it is covered with war scars. In 1975 a granite plate was put here. There are such words on it: “Nature – historical monument. This poplar-tree brought his life through the great battle”.

The first phase of our excursion is done. Now we are going to the panoramic museum "The Battle of Stalingrad" in the tourist bus. Look, it's already here! Let's go! It will take us only 5 minutes to get to the museum.

So, now we are standing right in front of the museum.

Not far from Pavlov House there is the State historical memorial museum “Stalingrad Battle”. This museum exhibits the military equipment that is demonstrated in the open air. You can see the famous Soviet “Katusha” (a military car with reactive artillery) here.
Also you can see the guns of different calibers, which were produced in the period of the war.
In front of the museum there is a column with the inscription: ”According to  the call of  our Motherland and party the Soviet people came here to defend the  freedom and honor of the people, the achievements of the Great October. Here, on this land, the war was turned back; the soldiers made it go from the darkness to the light, from the slavery to the freedom, from death to life”.
On the other side of the column we can read the words said by I. Stalin: “It was the dawn of the German fascist Army”.
Pay attention to the Marshal Zhukov`s monument which is in front of the museum.
It is the entrance to the museum – the panorama”Stalingrad Battle”.
Inside the museum there is a bronze composition of  the war’s great leaders: Churchill, Rusevelt and Stalin met at summit in Sochi in 1945. It is an important exhibit of the museum. It took us only 6 minutes, so you can look around yourself and we will meet  in 3 minutes.

Now we are going to the Volgograd River Port. We will get to it in 4 minutes. Let's go!

So we are standing right in front of the River Port.  The Volgograd River Port JSC owns and operates a marine port in the South of Russia. The company provides cargo, and city and suburban passenger transportation services; organizes pleasure trips; offers ferry and   ship. It handles and stores cargoes, such as metal production, steel pipes and scrap metal.   The company was founded in 1862 and is based in Volgograd, the Russian Federation.

 So, this is the end of our excursion. We hope you have enjoyed it. You can look around and we will meet near the bus in 5 minutes. Enjoy your time. Thank you for coming. We hope it is not our last meeting. Good luck!
