WWII near Klin & Tver, Russia

This is a burial site along the road between Moscow and Tver. It was located in front of a church 


Here is a little better picture of the church saying it was built in 1837


A little further down the road there is another small cemetery located in front of a different church 


After I arrived at my Girlfriends house in Tver we decided to go with her daughter to the center of town and walk around.


The photo below was of an old brick building it was the location in 1919 of the first official meeting of workers and laborers, in Tver, when they were forming the Soviet Union


This is the main monument in Tver to WWII. The little girl there is Ksusha, my girlfriends daughter, shes 10 and was extremely bored during our excursion


Here is an overall view of the monument during anniversaries there is a flame on top


This is one of the only monuments dedicated to recent wars I have seen period in Russia. it has a list of names of people that have died in wars since Russia's war in Afghanistan.


This is the old NKVD building in Tver. NKVD was the predecessor to the KGB. They killed many many people in the basement of the building. Especially during the war years. Now it is a medical academy.
