The Ruins of the Mill Named after Grudinin// Gergardt

The Ruins of the Mill Named after Grudinin// Gergardt stand as a stark and poignant reminder of the brutal Battle of Stalingrad. This is one of the few structures left standing in its original condition after the intense fighting, offering a visceral connection to the city’s wartime past. The mill’s skeletal remains, riddled with bullet holes, contrast sharply with the surrounding modern architecture. Nearby, the statue of children dancing around a crocodile serves as a symbol of the city’s rebirth. The site is often visited in conjunction with the Panorama Museum and other war memorials along the Volga River.
