There is an exposition devoted to those difficult days. On display one can see documents, photographs, weapons, trophies and personal affairs of the Red Army solders. Marshal Zhukov referred to this period as to one of the most difficult ones when fighting to save Moscow. There is a list of soldres who died in this area in 1941-1942.
