Fascinating Frieze Moments At The Shon-Sharaf Museum

There are a couple of large, bronze friezes outside the front entrance to the Shon-Sharaf museum, dedicated to the Great Patriotic War. A lot is going on in the friezes. Military preparations, a country pulling together for the war effort. Inspiring. Terrifying.

Small boys building big toys.

Portraits of the engineers of destruction and the aproned workers.

Old women, back at home, picking cotton to help finance the war effort.

Scenes of evacuating the wounded and then operating on them.

Victory! A family reunion and celebration at war's end.
