Postcard made in the Soviet Union, 1990, with the Hall of Military Glory. The Military Glory Hall is part of the Mayayev memorial complex in Volvograd (formely known as Stalingrad). The hall is 42 metres in diameter and the highest point of the ceiling is 13.5 metres. It is dominated by a sculpture of a hand holding a torch in which an eternal flame burns. An honour guard is provided by soldiers of the 46th Infantry Company of the Volgograd Garrison from 9:00 am to 7:00 or 8:00 pm, with an hourly changing of the guard ceremony. Thirty-four symbolic red banners line the wall of the hall, listing the names of about 7,200 of the defenders of Stalingrad.
