John M Oshust | 13-Mar-14 13:05 | Brian, This photo was taken in Magnitogorsk Russia 25 years ago. Magnitogorsk is located on the Ural River. This river is the start of siberia and marks the boundry between Euope and Asia. Magnitogorsk and its 22 square mile steel plant was too far into Russia for the German bombers during WW2. Many T-34 tanks were fabricated there. The Russians a big on monuments, especially tanks. I do not believe that this is a T-34. As I have previously stated, I have been in and around a T-34. I just have to located those photos |
BriandKilby | 13-Mar-14 13:50 | it might be an is-2 used at the end or after the war. the pamphlet with the tank model says they build them at the Chelyabinsk tractor works known as tankograd. my cousins husband is from vladimer (I think?) near Moscow. |
John M Oshust | 13-Mar-14 14:24 | Chelyabinsk is an hour away from Magnitogorsk also home to a secret nuclear weapons plant. I have been there also. |
