The military-patriotic park “Patriot” is a recent attraction on the map of the Moscow region: it opened in 2015, but has already managed to win the love of visitors of all ages, those in whose veins the blood of the defender of the Fatherland flows. The jurisdiction of the Ministry of Defense could not but leave its mark on the character of the park: everything here is somehow connected with military power, technical progress, courage and endurance of soldiers. For visitors there is a historical complex "Partisan Village" and an exhibition of aerospace and armored vehicles under open air. The nearby Tank Museum in Kubinka is also part of the “Patriot” - you can visit it with a complex ticket (now this museum is officially called “Patriot Park. Museum complex - Site No. 2”).

What to see

Here you will get acquainted with the structure of dugouts and visit several buildings: headquarters, residential, utility and medical, you will see items from the 1940s: from smokehouses and pouches to a film projector and a potbelly stove. Other buildings of the complex are a watchtower, a headquarters dugout, a club, a printing house, a medical center, a stable and a utility yard with a blacksmith's workshop, a bathhouse, a weapons and ammunition warehouse, a field canteen, a bakery and fire pits - a whole invisible city in the forest!

In the section "Echoes of War" real, unrestored guns of the Great Patriotic War are presented, and at the exhibition "Space Forces" you can see navigation and communication devices, lunar exploration and Earth probing. The sector's pavilions talk about nuclear weapons, and there are 14 simulators of military-technical professions. Don't forget to continue your fascinating tour at the Central Museum of Armored Weapons and Equipment in Kubinka.

You should definitely come to the park on the day of the dynamic display of equipment - this is a unique opportunity to see military vehicles of the past and present in action - from tanks of the 1930s-1940s. to ultra-modern defense complexes.

Events

Military-themed events are regularly held in Patriot Park. Thus, anyone who wants to try their hand at a 20 km cross-country race and overcoming 60 obstacles can participate in the Race of Heroes. Military-tactical games provide an opportunity for individual fighters and teams to practice close combat techniques, compete in airsoft and learn how to use optical weapons.

Practical information

Address: Moscow region, Odintsovo district, 55th km of the M-1 highway (Minskoe highway). Website.

Opening hours: from 10:00 to 18:00. Closed on Monday.

A comprehensive ticket to visit the Patriot Park and the tank museum in Kubinka is 400 RUB on weekdays and 500 RUB on weekends. Children under 16 years old - 250 RUB and 350 RUB, respectively. Children under 6 years old have free admission. Prices on the page are for October 2018.

Despite the fact that the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant recently updated the legendary “loaf”, it is clear that the car, created in the middle (!) of the last century, will eventually have to retire. At the same time, the company cannot afford to create a full-fledged successor, so it was decided to work on the development of a cargo version of the Patriot, called “Cargo”.

This is how the “Profi” model with a lifting capacity of 1.5 tons appeared - in early September the new product was presented at the Moscow Comtrans exhibition. It is assumed that the 6-meter truck should distract the public from the obsolete onboard “tadpoles”. But what can replace the “loaf” itself, that is, all-metal vans and minibuses?

Attempt No. 1. UAZ-3972 "Wagon"

You can't do without some background here. The creation of the first successor to the “loaf” began just before the collapse of the USSR: in 1989, by a joint decision of the GLAVTU and the Ministry of Automotive Industry, the topic “Wagon” was opened, the goal of which was to create a multi-purpose and ambulance vehicle. In 1990, we managed to make the first samples of the UAZ-3972 cabover van.

The design of the “nurse” turned out like this. The basis is a powerful ladder-type spar frame, on which a three-liter UMZ-421 engine was installed, shifted back (relative to the front axle) and to the right. The front and rear suspensions are dependent, but spring, with two trailing arms and one transverse rod. Steering - with hydraulic booster.

But the most important thing is the new drive axles: their external gearboxes provide 325 mm of ground clearance! And the car had to have permanent all-wheel drive and lock all three differentials... In general, a jeeper's dream. Which during the “roaring nineties” simply did not make it to the assembly line.

Attempt No. 2. UAZ-3165 "Simba"

The half-hood “trailer” UAZ-3165 “Simba” was first shown at the 1999 Moscow Motor Show. Moreover, the then management of the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant confidently reported that the new product was 75% ready and would soon begin production! Moreover, not only a minibus will be put on the conveyor, but also an all-metal van and a flatbed truck.

Fans of UAZ cars were simply in awe of the design of this car: there were front wheel disconnect clutches, a small-module transfer case, front spring suspension, a new steering mechanism, a sliding side door and a lot of things that drivers of ordinary “loaves” could only dream of.

In principle, the plant only needed to master the production of bodies, since the frame chassis - albeit modified - was taken from the UAZ 3162 Simbir SUV (for those who have forgotten: the redesigned Simbir would later become the Patriot). But, as usual, there was not enough money. As a result, the project of “our Mitsubishi Delica” had to be postponed for some time.

Attempt No. 3. UAZ-3165M

Hope for the resurrection of “Simba” dawned four years later: in 2003, the second generation car, the UAZ-3165M, was presented to the public. The new version featured a redesigned body, completely new optics and more modern interior trim. And again, extremely firm promises from the factory workers: “In just a little more time, we’ll be up and running!”

The exhibition complex Park Patriot in Kubinka, Moscow Region, covers an area of ​​almost five hectares and consists of nearly a dozen separate objects. How not to get lost in Patriot Park and not miss anything interesting - read this article. (Information updated as of September 10, 2018).

Dear readers!
In September, the exhibition was once again updated in the Park. Separate large reviews can be made on the updates, but for now, briefly about the most important changes for those who will go to Patriot in the near future.

  • The tanks from the Patriot-Expo complex were transported to an open area in Museum Complex 1.
  • The second part of the exhibition of trophies from Syria has opened in Museum Complex 1. There are a lot of armored vehicles in the open area and a whole pavilion of smaller trophies. It is marked on the map with a red mark with a star.
  • In the “Echoes of War” hall in Museum Complex 1 there is now an exhibition dedicated to the defeat of Japan. There are a lot of Japanese armored vehicles, weapons, banners, etc. On the opposite side is USSR equipment, including Lend-Lease.
  • The armored car moved to the partisan village. A wooden “station” was built next to it and several tanks and guns, mostly from the war, were placed.

How to get to Patriot Park.

Patriot Park has two seasonal operating modes (summer and winter) and two weekly ones (weekdays and weekends/holidays). They differ in the time when the park is open, but in any case it is from 10.00 to 17.00. How to get to Patriot by car is detailed on the website ( patriotp.ru) , and I’ll tell you how to get there on your own. The website states that both on weekdays and on holidays A minibus leaves from Golitsyno station every hour. Yeah, of course. I arrived in Golitsyno on November 6 (a weekday) at the beginning of nine in the morning - no minibuses, not even a hint of their stop.

Maybe things are different on weekends, but there’s not a word about that on the park’s website. In general, I waited until 9.30 (two minibuses were supposed to depart according to the website schedule) and as a result I left by taxi, fortunately they were at the station square. The price was 500 rubles one way, and the driver also gave me his business card in case I needed to take me back. As a result, I spent 1000 rubles on travel plus 500 for entry to the exhibition. If you are ready for such expenses, welcome to Patriot Park on a weekday; taxis in Golitsyno work great.

First steps: from parking to ticket office.

The parking lot (blue mark P) is, without exaggeration, huge, so I advise you to leave your car as close to the barrier as possible in order to avoid stomping your feet. They will also be useful to you when exploring the park's facilities.

Take a look at the map. The red line marks the path to the ticket office, located at the beginning of the VIP parking. It was here that it was moved from the entrance terminal to the central exhibition complex (marker 7). You can buy tickets here, but you won’t be able to leave your belongings in a storage room or visit the toilet. There are toilet stalls nearby, but they only work in summer period. During the winter, all outdoor toilets are closed, only those in the pavilions are open!

Exhibition complex Patriot-Expo.

In five minutes from the ticket office you can walk to the territory of the Patriot-Expo exhibition complex (dark gray fill, blue mark 7).

During the days of the Army forum there is no place to fall, and the rest of the time there is not so much equipment.

Here you can see modern artillery, both self-propelled and towed,

multiple launch rocket systems.

A year ago, several vehicles from the Topol-M strategic missile system stood here, but in the fall they were moved to site No. 1. It is possible that the launcher will soon go there too.

There are also anti-aircraft missile systems, a dozen post-war tanks,

four helicopters and an An-2 plane.

There are also monuments to Marshals Zhukov, Konev and Rokossovsky.

In 2016, there was also a monument to the heroes of the film “They Fought for the Motherland.” Later it was moved to the building of the Ministry of Defense.

Yes, and in 2017 another group of special forces appeared with a motorcycle M-72 . Alas, in the rain and in the winter the motorcycle is covered with a cover, and you won’t be able to take a photo next to it.

Also pay attention to the benches for rest. Some of them are made in the form of sea mines, some in the form of tank tracks.

Museum site No. 1.

This is where the technology is visible and invisible, it is in the Museum complex No. 1 (former videoconferencing sector). You can get there by free local minibus. It leaves every 15-20 minutes from the ticket office (blue mark with the number 1) both on holidays and on weekdays - I checked it personally. The route diagram is marked on the map with a thin blue line. Patriot Park also offers bicycle rentals in the summer. however, if your goal is not to ride in the fresh air, but to see the equipment, it is better to use a minibus.

On the way to the first complex, pay attention to the sculpture of a military skier.

And here we are at our goal. The stop at the complex is marked with blue mark 2. The exhibition here is presented both in pavilions and in the open area. There are 12 pavilions in total; on the map they are indicated by a polygon with a yellow fill.

――――――――

Each pavilion is dedicated to a separate topic: Space Forces, Atom in the Service of the Motherland, History of the Airborne Forces, Stalingrad, etc. They display some of the vehicles from the Museum of Armored Vehicles in Kubinka and the Ryazan Military Automobile Museum. All pavilions are interconnected by internal passages, and in the warm season they have access to an open area.

For complete reviews of equipment in the open area, see (armored vehicles, cars) and (aviation, navy, missiles).

The outdoor area is different huge size and a large amount of equipment on display here. However, there is also a lot of free space here, and Patriot Park is constantly adding to this exhibition. From September to November, for example, new tankers and systems with drones were brought here. For ease of orientation, I have designated areas with different types of equipment using colored shading.

――――――――

Orange fill - anti-aircraft and strategic missiles, radar.

Green fill – armored vehicles, engineering and transport vehicles.

Pink fill - fuel tankers, logistics vehicles.

Brown shading - signal troops.

Mustard fill - intercontinental ballistic missiles.

Light gray fill - drones.

Blue fill - Navy. Mines, torpedoes, artillery, Poisk-2 deep-sea vehicle, coast guard missile systems.

Blue zone - aviation: airplanes and helicopters.

The benches in this area are also made in an aviation style.

Very close by is the exhibition “Motors of War” with a separate entrance. It is dedicated to equipment from the Second World War, indicated on the map by a red rectangle.

Armored car.

The minibus stop number 3 is called “Bronevagon” (lilac fill).

Naturally, the main exhibit here is the same armored car from the war. In the summer, you can even go inside and see what it was like to fight in such a place.

In addition to the armored car, there is a military train at the railway platform: a steam locomotive, a heated carriage and a couple of platforms with anti-aircraft guns.

In the pavilion next door there is an exhibition “Motoworld”, where rare motorcycles of the 20th century are presented. On the map it is indicated by a dark green rectangle.

Center for military tactical games.

Stop number 4 is located next to several interesting sites. A yellow rectangle with a brown outline is pavilions for interactive games.

One of the zones is called the “Afghan Trail”, here you can play war games with pneumatic guns with plastic cartridge balls. The real thing was used for decoration. military equipment: cars, guns, helicopter.

For a complete overview of the equipment on the Afghan Trail, see.

Lilac fill with a red outline - “Signalmen Camp” and “Scout Town”. Here you can see about a dozen communications troops vehicles and mobile power plants. I took pictures here at the end of August, when the exhibition was just being mounted. Judging by the pictures on the Patriot Park website, by the end of October the cars were painted and information signs were installed on each one.

For a full overview of the equipment in the communications town, see.

Opposite the entrance to the pavilions there is a small alley. On it you can see Mi-8 and Mi-24 helicopters, an An-24 aircraft and a monument to General Brusilov.

Youth Army sector and Partisan village.

Near stop number 5 there is the Yunarmiya sector and the Guerrilla Village exhibition complex. One of the pavilions houses a unique exhibition dedicated to the military operation in Syria (yellow fill with a lilac outline).

See the full photo review of the Syrian exhibition.

Layout military base in Khmeimim, models Russian aircraft, but the main thing is the trophies captured from the militants. Homemade mortars and ammunition, machine guns and rifles from all times and peoples, equipment for the artisanal production of chemical weapons - all this can be seen here.

In the “Partisan Village” (blue fill with a blue outline) you can see the construction of different types of wartime dugouts, see original items of partisan life, and taste linden tea.

And in the “Partisan Village” they bake amazing bread, real bread, without additives. If you want and don’t mind spending 150 rubles, you can buy a loaf and take it with you.

Parked on the street next to the Youth Army pavilions was a Khokhloma-painted tank and Gzhel-painted guns.

Opposite there is a monument to the heroes of the film “Officers”.

A little closer to the “Partisan Village” are real BTR-40s and an S-60 anti-aircraft gun.

Directly at the entrance to the partisans there are Soviet BM-37 mortars and a German PAK 35-36 cannon.

A huge field nearby is a zone of historical reconstructions. On it you can see a model of the Reichstag, which was involved in the reconstruction of the “Storm of Berlin” on April 23, 2017.

And here there is also the Church of the Holy Great Martyr George the Victorious, built for the glory of the Russian army and in memory of those who fell in defense of the Fatherland.

Multifunctional fire center.

Stop number 6 is the final point of the route. There is a multifunctional fire center where you can shoot with different types of weapons. To be honest, I didn’t get here, but in the summer I’m going to correct this omission.

To conclude the review, I would like to give some general and, in my opinion, useful advice.

  • During winter, outdoor toilet stalls are closed. Only the toilets in the pavilions work, and they are not located very often.
  • Fast food outlets and cafes are open only in summer. The rest of the time you have to make do with water and Snickers from the vending machines.
  • Drinks in glass bottles will not be allowed into Patriot Park. And they won’t let you bring alcohol in any container at all.
  • If you don’t get to the park by car, take extra money for a taxi. You never know what will happen to the bus.
  • Is it possible to visit Patriot Park and not take away anything as a souvenir? Tanks, airplanes, caps... If you are going with a child, adjust your budget to a plus. And if you are like a child yourself, even more so.
  • And again about money. Cards are not popular here, and ATMs are difficult to find. Cash will come in handy.

Well, that's it for the first time. In the future, I will publish a detailed review of each sector, but now I say “Goodbye!” to everyone.
