There are very few monuments like this anymore. A Soviet tank from World War II, a T-34, stands in Nowogród (Podlaskie Province) and looks quite, quite.

The tank was erected on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the Polish People's Republic and unveiled on September 14, 1974. The commemorative plaque next to it reads "Glory to the heroes who died in the fight against German fascism for the freedom of the Łomża Region."

It is worth emphasizing that we are currently celebrating and commemorating the day when the Polish People's Republic ended. However, this controversial monument still stands and attracts tourists.

The history of this tank is very interesting and due to the fact that its condition is good, as indicated by the small number of layers of paint, which in turn allows you to read the factory number (412815) and trace its history.
T-34-85 manufactured in December 1944 in plant no. 112. It turns out that this is a tank delivered in the second tranche (January/February 1945) to the 4th Armored Brigade of the 1st Armored Corps. This means that it is a veteran of the battles of Bautzen (April 21–30, 1945) - one of the few tanks of the 4th Brigade that survived these battles.

The monument in Nowogród commemorates the battle of Polish soldiers with Germans fought on September 7–10, 1939, when 800 Polish soldiers supported by civilians from the city and surrounding areas fought a German division of several thousand. The tank in Nowogród obviously did not take part in this battle.
