This place is a must-visit! It's breathtaking and creepy to realize what was going on here.... brown plague, many thanks to the museum staff for a good tour, for a visual aid and reports to the present of the terrible that once was. Low bow, thank you.

In December 1942, Oleg Koshevoy, commissar of the Young Guard, was arrested forty km from Krasnodon and brought to the gendarmerie of Rovenka (Luhansk region). There he was held in Gestapo dungeons, tortured, and, having achieved nothing, on January 9, 1943, he was shot in the Rattlesnake Forest (on the outskirts of the city of Rovenka). Young guardsmen Vitya Subbotin, Semyon Ostapenko, Dima Ogurtsov and Lyubochka Shevtsova were also shot there (she was a radio operator and her tormentors never learned the code)....
I have been many times to the museum of the city of Rovenka and what I saw there is impossible to forget... Creepy cells, walls covered with chalk and blood, an interrogation room (all the furniture from those times), a cast-iron round furnace, many metal instruments of torture that were heated in this furnace, hooks, chains... It is impossible to imagine what these young people, teenagers, had to endure and not break down, not betray their country, their ideals. I lived in the early seventies of the last century in the city of Krasny Luch (75 km to Krasnodon, 50 km to Rovenki) and our schoolchildren were taken to the museums of these cities, and in Rovenki in the park on the alley of Glory they were accepted as pioneers (specially students were taken by bus). And the feat of the Young Guards was in everyone's hearts and on their lips, they were and are heroes of their country and their time. Real young citizens of the Soviet Country!!! Memory, honor and immense respect to all the heroes of the Young Guard!!!

More young people should visit this museum, so that our generation knows about the dedication of that generation. I got a lot of different impressions, as well as learned a lot. Thanks to the guide, it is clear that a person lives this business with all his soul. The museum is open to visitors Tuesday, Thursday.

It's a great museum. So much information. But it's scary, very scary. The girls and boys were 15-25 years old when they were killed, someone was shot, someone was thrown into a pit. And the tour guide is wonderful.

An amazing museum, for all adults and children. It is located in the courtyard of the hospital, especially now when you see guys from the front being treated and the last war is here.... To tears

This is a sacred place in our city, we came to this museum as children fifty years ago. Everything there reminds of that terrible life-and-death war.

I was in this museum as a child, in the early nineties.We came with an excursion in the footsteps of the Young Guards.By train from Gorky.A place that smells so much of the past.I remember a black leather sofa, a gallows, instruments for torture and a cell in which a lot of prisoners were kept.I was also impressed by the voice of Oleg Koshevoy's mother from the record, which was played to us then.It was right up to the goosebumps

Very interesting. Professional guides. You will learn facts that are not written anywhere. After the museum, be sure to visit the memorial on Lenin Street, where the Young Guards are buried. There will be a complete picture of those events.

The museum is located in the basement of the city hospital. The Gestapo department was located here during the war. And the Young Guards were kept in the basement. These are historical facts. How can you like a story or not? Or is it possible to change something in what has already happened?

This is the museum of my city of Rovenka, where the cells where the Young Guards were tortured. But unfortunately I don't remember when it was opened. So modern children just forget about their roots. I am more than sure that now the youth does not even know who Oleg Koshevoy is, etc. I remember how I waited to join the Octobrists it was in this museum that they tied the Octobrists. I remember the feeling of pride I felt at that moment
