The steam powered mill was built in 1903. It was equiped with electrical generator and boiler station. There was a railway from the mill to the hithe, that was demounted after the war. The owner of the mill was Aleksander Gergardt, an ethnic German. His name is inscripted on the wall. In the 1930-s the mill was named after Grudinin, in honour of the lathe operator K. Grudinin who was killed because of his communistic activity. During the Stalingrad battle the observation point of I. P. Elin, the commander of the 42nd regiment of the 13th Rifle Division, was situated here. The mill, the house of Pavlov and the house of Zabolotniy were the main defensive posts in the centre of Stalingrad.

This is right next to the panorama museum. It is impossible to miss and free to view. It’s been well-preserves over the years. Similar to the A-Bomb dome in Hiroshima.

With all the "western" hostility against Russia, a visit to war cemeteries, be in Volgograd, the former Stalingrad, or in St Petersburg, would be well advised: to recall that the West (Germany) murdered 27 million Russians during WW II and that Russian antagonism against an ever expanding (and conquering) NATO and US and EU instigated "regime change" in Ukraine is based on merits and historical facts.
