"Pavlov’s House” became the name of an apartment building during the Battle of Stalingrad. The house was named after Sergeant Yakov Pavlov, whose soldiers seized the building and defended it during the long battle. In September 1942, the Germans attacked the house, and 30 Russian soldiers were ordered to seize it. Sergeant Pavlov led them. Only four members of his team survived. After several days, 26 more Russian soldiers led by Second Lieutenant Ivan Afa­nasiev managed to join them. They brought supplies and weapons. The Germans attacked the building at regular times. After two months, the Soviet forces counterattacked and relieved the defenders. Pavlov’s House became a symbol of the unbelievable resistance of the Soviet Union in the Battle of Stalingrad and in the Great Patriotic War in general. Yakov Pavlov got the title “Hero of the Soviet Union” for his actions.
