In front of the diorama building, field and anti-aircraft guns, armored vehicles, Katyusha guards mortars, military equipment of military sailors are installed, and captured fascist equipment is also on display. There are many mass graves and monuments in the vicinity, including the heroes of military units formed in the Crimea, Armenia, Georgia and other regions of the Soviet Union.
