Maloye Uvarovo offers two distinct points of interest for trip planning: the ZIS-3 Artillery Memorial in the village and the Kolomenka, whose route description mentions an initial section to Maloye Uvarovo as well as a longer stretch in the surrounding area. The memorial commemorates an event from 1944; the river route, by contrast, raises questions of route choice and conditions.

The ZIS-3 Artillery Memorial

The structure is tiered and can be read from bottom to top: a commemorative plaque is on the lower level, a ZIS-3 cannon on the middle level, and the Chapel of the Holy Mother of God at the top. This arrangement makes the three elements recognizable as parts of a single memorial. The stepped levels give the structure a clearly legible order and make its different components the core of its appearance. For travelers interested in culture, the site’s distinctive appeal lies both in its design and in its historical significance.

The inscription on the ZIS-3 Artillery Memorial recalls that in May 1944, the II Mogilev Red Banner Artillery Brigade of the Corps was formed in Maloye Uvarovo under the command of Major General of Artillery A. I. Malofeyev. It also recounts the brigade’s route: it fought from Smolensk to Berlin. The memorial thus links the specific place and month of the brigade’s formation with the broader history of the war. The reference to Smolensk and Berlin places the formation in Maloye Uvarovo in a wider historical context.

The Kolomenka: Section and Regional Route

A route description from 2020 describes the first section of the Kolomenka, from Tumenskoye to Maloye Uvarovo, as free of obstacles and difficulties. This assessment is part of the dated description; river conditions can change. If you are considering this section for a trip, check the conditions in advance.

For the wider region, the same route description gives a length of 22 km for the route on the Kolomenka to the village of Andreyevskoye. The information serves different purposes: the first section is described in terms of obstacles and difficulties, while the route to Andreyevskoye is characterized by its length. When planning, you can therefore take into account the stated endpoint and the extent of this regional route without treating the two details as equivalent descriptions of the same section. This lets you distinguish the length to Andreyevskoye from the assessment of the first section when choosing a route.

Which focus suits your stay?

The memorial is a specific cultural and historical point of interest in the village; the 22 km figure applies to a route in the wider area. Local history and a route in the surrounding region are different reasons to travel. When looking for a vacation rental, you can consider which of these focuses will shape your stay.
