Sovjet Ereveld Experience
Take a look in advance
| Read this in-depth article about the experience at Sovjet Ereveld Experience.
The Sovjet Ereveld Experience is not just another museum. It offers a penetrating look at the deep and lasting impact of war on ordinary people. Not only on the soldiers at the front, but especially on the families left behind in uncertainty. You get an impression of how an ordinary family struggled for years with the loss of a husband, father or son - without knowing if he would ever return.

In the shoes of Vladimir Botenko
Who was Vladimir Botenko and what did he have to endure during World War II? During your visit, you will experience his story up close. Botenko said goodbye to his family in 1941 to leave for the front and never returned. During our unique VR Experience, you will not only experience what he went through, but you will also see how his disappearance touched and permanently scarred his family. The experience offers a gripping look at the suffering that war causes far beyond the battlefield.
The forgotten ally
Our museum also tells the story of the "forgotten" ally of World War II: an ally that made enormous sacrifices, but after the war - during the Cold War - was considered the new enemy. Find out how the important contribution of the Red Army received little attention for a long time and in what way it has influenced our world view.
Sovjet Ereveld
Within walking distance of the museum, you'll find the Sovjet Ereveld. Here 865 war dead from the former Soviet Union are buried.
