When our trip was organized to see Chernobyl, I knew I wanted to see this place before we left for home. It is quite frankly one of the best museums I have ever seen to date, a lot of the exhibitions are very very moving.

If I remember correctly, the barbed wire was from Auschwitz, as was the clothing pinned to the wire. The guillotine was something else, it was a real legit-fully-working one and taken a few lives away.

oh man thats epic :smclap loving the PPSH, and the shot of the IS-3. Soviets knew how to make epic tanks :thumb You can go to most Eastern european countries and dig up all that kinda stuff, ammunition (live) guns, even the occasional tank has been pulled out :D

Interesting stuff and quite moving. What's that thing with 282 painted on the side? Looks like some sort of battering ram.

You've got me on that one too, I couldn't work it out. Maybe some kind of big fuel truck?
