Valley of Glory

Educational tour of places of military glory

One of the most famous places of military glory of the Murmansk region is the Valley of Glory, which was previously called the Valley of Death. This place is associated not only with the heroic deeds of the Red Army and Soviet sailors, but also with the horrors of war, bloody confrontation. It is no coincidence that the frightening truthful name of this place was changed to a more solemn and memorable one. In 2011, the complex was renovated. A reburial was performed. Every year, on May 9, hundreds of people come here to honor the memory of the defenders of the Arctic.

We organized a bus tour to the Valley of Glory especially for those who are interested not only in the urban environment, but also in the heroic stories of the Murmansk region. After all, it was here, in fact, that the war began and ended for many thousands of Red Army soldiers. It was here that the front line passed, which served as a division between the troops. An impressive memorial to the fallen wars, eternal flame, WWII tanks on a pedestal are only a small part of what the participants will see. The most important thing is the atmosphere of solemn memory and sorrow, which has symbolized this place for many years.
