2014.05.10 – Auto race in Podnavisla

Auto rally in the tract Podnavisla (Goryachevrovsky district) we timed to the Victory Day. In the column there were 8 retro cars. The immediate destination is a military hospital, where wounded were brought from all over the Caucasian front. Before the war, the Armenian family lived here, in which Arshaluys Khanzhyan grew up. It was she who first took care of the wounded soldiers, and then for their graves until 1999, and now her grave is located here. Fraternal graves in this region number more than 20,000 dead soldiers and officers.

Our column along the route stopped at the memorials, laid wreaths: at the grave of an unknown soldier (Krasnodar), 30 Irkutsk division (behind the Goryachiy Kluch), on a mountain boundary for which our soldiers  did not miss the fascists, and at the memorial in Podnavisla.

For reference: this unusual name “Podnavisla” has the following origin. When you stand here, a sheer rock hangs in front of you (it is in the photo). Here you stand under an overhanging rock – Podnaviloy.
