A visit to Volgograd / Stalingrad
The last summer I visited in Volgograd, former Stalingrad. The battle of Stalingrad was one of the largest battles in human history. This Battle was turning point in the World War 2.

Enemy at the Gates is a 2001 war film directed by Jean-Jacques Annaud, starring Joseph Fiennes, Jude Law, Rachel Weisz, Bob Hoskins and Ed Harris set during the Battle of Stalingrad in World War II.
The film's title is taken from William Craig's 1973 nonfiction book Enemy at the Gates: The Battle for Stalingrad, which describes the events surrounding the Battle of Stalingrad from 1942–1943. It is based on a duel mentioned in the book that developed between Soviet sniper Vasily Zaitsev and German Major Erwin König.

What is the language situation like at the Panorama museum? All signs in Russian, or are they translated into any other language?
Looks like the state of the items in the collection is fantastic, though the way they've chosen to present it seems a bit odd.

Hi Stefan!
You suspect it well. There are all texts in Russian and all signs in Russian:) Everywhere:)
But the museum is very interesting. fascinating sight and monumental. Only peculiarly Russian.
Some pictures from the exhibition:
