From May 20 to August 1, 1943, the headquarters of the Voronezh Front was located in the village of Kirovsky in the Kursk region, situated 28 km northeast of Oboyan, near the Rzhava station. It was commanded by Army General N.F. Vatutin. Today, a museum called 'Command Post of the Voronezh Front' is open at this site.

The museum was opened in 1983 in honor of the 40th anniversary of the victory in the Battle of Kursk and was known as the 'Museum of Military Glory' until 1991, being a public institution. In 1992, it was awarded the title of 'People's'.

Currently, the museum houses 2,500 exhibits, for the preservation of which curator N.B. Khugaeva has been responsible for 15 years. We take pride in having unique outdoor exhibits, such as the T-34 tank, the AZP 37-1 anti-aircraft gun, an anti-tank gun, and the BM-37 82 mm mortar. The exhibition features items that tell the story of Soviet and German soldiers and weaponry from 1943. One of the halls is adorned with a diorama of the Prokhorovka tank battle and the dugout of the front commander N.F. Vatutin. From this command post, the troops of the Voronezh Front were managed during the Battle of Kursk, maintaining communication with the armies and divisions of the front and with the Supreme Command Headquarters. The Voronezh Front defended the southern face of the Kursk salient over a stretch of 244 km from Korenevo to Volchansk. According to the plan of the Kursk defensive operation, the Voronezh Front was to create a deeply echeloned defense in the southern part of the Kursk salient, exhaust the enemy in case of an attack from the south, and then go on the offensive to defeat enemy groupings in the areas of Belgorod and Kharkov.
