Kyrgyz-Russian Slavic University held a photo exhibition «80 years of the Battle of Stalingrad»
Exactly 80 years ago, Soviet troops won the Battle of Stalingrad – the bloodiest in human history.
On the banks of the Don and Volga, and then near the walls of Stalingrad, the country lost almost half a million soldiers, over 600 thousand were wounded. The Battle of Stalingrad lasted 200 days and nights and showed the whole world the courage and perseverance of Soviet soldiers. The outcome of this operation dispelled the myth of the invincibility of Nazi Germany.
The Day of Historical Victory on the Volga was widely celebrated today not only in Russia, but also far beyond its borders.
