The Russians are rightfully proud of their military history, especially in World War II. Their struggle on the "Eastern Front" kept Hitler's army busy while the West prepared for the D-Day invasion. Russia's biggest contribution to world conflicts has always been the sheer number of troops she could throw into battle. There was a tremendous loss of life during the defense of St. Petersburg (Leningrad) and Moscow. This museum commemorates this history. Unfortunately, we didn't get to go inside because the museum wasn't open when the signs said it would be. What can I say? It's Russia!
