spring, interesting place
This spring during the Battle of Mamaev Kurgan (the Battle of Stalingrad) was the sole source of drinking water for Russians and Germans too. Therefore, it was called: The spring of life. "When they went to the spring of water, cease firing. And regardless of the tragedy that played out in Stalingrad, the people spared each other as they walked to get water, so we called it the "spring of life" - Alexander Velichkin, director of the memorial complex. Now the spring is in a derelict state - in this place is just a concrete ring, the source itself is almost dry.
