Gunner Bailey Posted 23 September , 2019 Share Posted 23 September , 2019 I understand these were recovered from villages, restored in 2009 and put on the plinths. This photo is quite old but the plinth looks like the current one. Where were these moved from? https://www.warhistoryonline.com/war-articles/know-russia-two-mark-v-tanks.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidearm Posted 29 September , 2019 Share Posted 29 September , 2019 No, the comment above dated 23 September is incorrect. The tank in the photo at the start of this thread was, as I stated, in Kiev. It was placed there during the 1930s and was photographed extensively following the German invasion of the USSR. It does not survive, to the best of my knowledge. The two tanks in the war history online article are those in Lugansk. They were also placed there in the 1930s but were removed for renovation and then replaced at the same location. The photographs show them undergoing renovation. Gwyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
