What history is associated with Dulag-125?
During the Second World War, several prisoner-of-war camps were established in Millerovo. Their locations included the grounds of School No. 5, the brickworks site, the building of the former drama theater, and Griboyedov Street. Dulag-125 was one of these camps and also the largest of the several camps in Millerovo. The names “Millerovo Pit” and “Millerovskaya yama” also refer to Dulag-125.
The “Zhertvam fashizma” monument was erected in 1980 at the site of the former prisoner-of-war camp. This helps distinguish two historical references: Dulag-125 is part of the history of the wartime camps; the monument is a memorial erected later at the former site. Anyone exploring the town’s history can consider both names and their connection together.
How is the tank monument different?

The 2019 resolution of the regional government lists it as a cultural heritage site of regional significance.

If you are considering Millerovo primarily for its history, these distinctions can help you identify more precisely the aspect that interests you.
