Aksay Military Historical Museum is located on the outskirts of Aksay on a site of the former Soviet military command post bunker. Abandoned military complex is largely hidden underground with numerous labyrinths and man made tunnels. Most of these are closed today though except a small underground command post. Museum with its many examples of Soviet military equipment stands on the small square above ground. Aksay Military Historical Museum was opened in 1998 and it is regularly updated with new exhibits. An open air exhibition includes several models of equipment including artillery, armored vehicles, anti- aircraft guns, tanks, aircraft and other types of equipment. A neat thing about Aksay Military Historical Museum is that you can touch, climb and sometimes get inside these vehicles.
The Aksay military-historical museum complex is
located in the village of Berdanosovka in the city of Aksai. Today
it is one of the largest museums in the region, the exposition of
which has more than 70 thousand exhibits related to archeology,
paleontology, weapons and art.
The beginning of the
collection of exhibits was laid by the students of the school with.
Kobyakovo settlement. These were things donated by the participants
of the Great Patriotic War, ancient household items of Aksai
residents. The collection became an independent museum in 1992 with
the receipt of a separate building. The popularity of today's museum
is primarily due to the variety of its expositions, since it
consists of a whole complex of objects of historical and cultural
heritage: a military-historical complex, a post station of the 19th
century, a fortress with a customs outpost of the 18th century, and
the house of A.V. Suvorov. Each component of the complex contains
exhibits that tell about the pages of the history of Russia and the
Don region. Open for visiting: "Military-Historical Complex",
"Postal Station" and "Fortress with a customs outpost".
The
exposition of the Military Historical Complex includes an exhibition
of military equipment of the Soviet and Russian armies - armored
vehicles, artillery and anti-aircraft guns, floating engineering
equipment, aircraft, missile models and much more. In a separate
exhibition "Weapons of Victory" you can see samples of small arms,
uniforms, personal items of participants in the Great Patriotic War.
An exhibit that invariably attracts the attention of visitors of
all ages is the underground two-tiered bunker of the command post of
the North Caucasian Military District. It was built in the 60s of
the last century, at the height of the Cold War. The bunker has an
extensive network of passages, corridors, halls and rooms designed
to shelter the district command.
