This T-34 is on display in a central location of Minsk. It was placed on the top of a tall plinth and although it's not a spot where many people walk - specially because it's literally in the middle of a main road - it's a main driving road of the city.

This specific tank was allegedly the first to enter the town when the Soviets took back Minsk from the Germans, in early July 1944.
