One of the symbols of Victory in the Great Patriotic War is the T-34 tank. This legendary war machine had a huge impact on the course of World War II.
It is located in the main square of Tiraspol city and the eternal flame is few steps far.
You can come close or climb to take a closer picture. For me, because the stones is slippery, it was a different story, after climbing for a nice clip, had a bad fall on my head, it leads to a minor injuries and few scratches all over my body. So tank monument will remain life in my memory

T-34 is one the most significant memorials in my country, real combat tank of WWII, the crew was killed at the battle near Budapest. It is a must-see, but please don’t treat it just as a tourist attraction, friends. This tank reminds of many eternal things, war and peace in gone century and modern world, heroes and horrors that every war brings and simple joy of being alive.

This is a monument that no visitor to Tiraspol is likely to miss. It commemorates the heroic sacrifices of the Soviet peoples in the Great Patriotic War (i.e. the Second World War). We were told it was a T-34, and that earth from Stalingrad was incorporated in the ground under it.
The scene around is full of meaning for the people of Tiraspol, from the inspirational statue of Stalin in front of the Parliament Building over the road, to the monumental cemetery and the eternal flame commemorating the dead of 1992, to the statue of Alexander Suvurov, founder of the city, on the other side.
From the parapet near the Tank Monument there's a wonderful view of the River Dniester. In summer - so we were told - there are cafes on the river banks and even river cruises, but in the autumn, under a low sun, it still looked romantic, winding away into the distance.

Interesting dystopic sight, the tank in front of the small church with the golden roof. Spoiler: it is not the only tank, there is one in Bender too. You can take some photos on top of it.

A classic tank monument in honor of the heroes of the Great Patriotic War of the Soviet people of 1941-1945. It is a T-34-85 tank (generally recognized as the best medium tank of the Second World War), mounted on a high pedestal in the area of the city's central square at the Glory Memorial. Nearby is the Orthodox Chapel in honor of St. George the Victorious, the Eternal Flame and the graves of the heroes of various wars, from the Great Patriotic War to the war for the independence of Pridnestrovie. This tank participated in the liberation of Moldavia, reached Hungary, where, during fierce battles in January 1945, it was incapacitated, and the crew died. Delivered and installed in Tiraspol in April 1945. Later, a capsule with earth from the Mamayev Kurgan, the site of the bloodiest and most violent clashes during the Battle of Stalingrad, was mounted on the pedestal.

This monument is a perfect reminder of the battle and history to make the autonamus region of Transnistria, and the many people who lost their lives to follow their beliefs for the future of their new region ( may be a country of their own in the future, as that is their aim, as I understand ??? )

The Tank Monument is a great opportunity to climb onto a Russian a tank and pose on it for a photo. Not too many places you'd be allowed to do that, certainly my first time on top of a tank. It's worth stopping by for that opportunity alone.
The War Memorial just by the Tank Monument is for those who died in both the Afghanistan War and in the Moldova Transnistrian War in the 1990s. The golden eternal flame at the bottom of the stepped memorial is very moving.

Shouldn't every town have a tank!? Kids especially love to climb on this thing! I would have too! If there were fewer people around!
