This is the 'Kozma Minin' armoured train locomotive. It was part of the 15th Independent Armoured train Division in the Great Patriotic War (World War II). It had a number of victories, destroying the German armoured train 'Adolf Hitler' as well as shooting down seven aircraft, and taking out fourteen artillery and mortar batteries and thirty six enemy strong points. It deserves the recognition in the display.
