From the course of the school curriculum, most of us know about the world famous Sergeant Pavlovs House , which has become impregnable a citadel for the German fascist invaders during the Battle of Stalingrad (1942-1943). 58 days on fire! That is how many Red Army soldiers under continuous fire held back the enemy’s onslaught without handing over the house to the enemy.
After the war, this house was one of the first in Stalingrad to be restored, becoming a symbol of the revived and rebuilt Stalingrad (Volgograd since 1961).
Now in Pavlovs House , which is located on the street. Sovetskaya, 39 in Volgograd, ordinary Volgograd residents live.

In my opinion, it was just as symbolic to highlight the apartment in the Pavlov House and Afanasyev Ivan Filippovich , who directly led the defense of the Pavlov House and subsequently also lived in the hero-city # Volgograd. But history decreed otherwise.
