A
Memorial to Veterans of the Afghan War
Below the Museum of the Defence of Stalingrad & Panorama on the riverside is a Memorial to Veterans of the Afghan War. The startling ruins nearby are the only evidence of the Battle of Stalingrad left in the centre. Ironically, this former flour mill had been constructed by the Germans in 1893. It has been left as a reminder of the devastating battle.

Museum of the Volga–Don Canal
No one can tell the canal’s story better than Rimma Eidelman, whose private collection has been turned into the Museum of the Volga–Don Canal. Ring the bell and she is most likely to welcome you at the entrance. She speaks only Russian, but she can show you English-language videos about the canal.

Old Sarepta Museum
The repressions of the 1930s, WWII and the deportation of Volga Germans left precious little of the old Sarepta, but several buildings on a peaceful square, have miraculously survived. They comprise the Old Sarepta Museum, which houses several exhibitions on the history of the colony.
