Former
pioneer house
Shevchenko Park (Парк Шевченко)
During
communist times, this building housed the pioneers
(a state children's organization similar to scouting).
This location was convenient because pioneer children
would often stand guard at the nearby Unknown Sailor
Memorial. A mural on the facade shows two patriotic
pioneers saluting the Unknown Sailor Memorial.
Today
this building is the Post number one guardhouse
(Караульное Помещение Поста 1).

Alley
of Glory (Aleya Slavy/Аллея Славы)
Shevchenko Park (Парк Шевченко)
This
memorial was unveiled on April 10, 1964, the twentieth
anniversary of the liberation of Odessa in World
War Two.
This
memorial begins with two slabs of red polished granite
on either side of the alley. On one side are the
dates 1941-1945. On the other side is the image
of the face of a woman representing the Motherland
and this inscription:
The
immortality of the Motherland (Rodina) has been
entrusted
to you and your names will not be forgotten.
On
either side of the alley, under the shade of popular
trees, is a line of 41 tombstones made of labradorite
(feldspar), including the two large memorials to
the submarines. Buried in the alley are Odessites
who helped defend the city.
The
first two tomb stones commemorate the 43 crew members
of two submarines, M-33 and M-60, which sand in
the Odessa Bay in August and September 1942 by mines.
Years later these subs were found near each other
at the bottom of the bay.
