No map? Picture?

There should be a map to show where Rzhev is.

Also an up to date picture of it. Maybe from the same place as the old picture, somewhere near the war memorial on the east side of the Volga. Michael of Lucan (talk) 17:48, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Draft translation of ru:Склад-40

Sklad-40 (also Arsenal)- is a closed military camp in the western part of the city of Rzhev in Tver Oblast, on the Soviet side.

It is a microdistrict of the city of Rzhev. All the houses of the microdistrict are assigned to Karl Marks Street.

Military unit 86286, the 55th Arsenal of the Main Missile and Artillery Directorate of the Russian Defence Ministry, is stationed in the town.

A civilian enterprise operates on the basis of the military unit - OAO 55 Arsenal, specialized in the repair of military and special equipment, as well as in the production of trailers and other consumer goods.^[1]

History

The history of the arsenal begins in 1918, when a warehouse redeployed from Dvinsk and artillery was located in Rzhev.^[2]

On September 16 1919, by order of the commander of the Armies of the Western Front No. 683, the warehouse was given the name Rzhevskaya Artillery Base of the Western Front.

During the years of the Civil War, the workers and employees of the base worked selflessly to provide the front with the necessary weapons and equipment.

In 1922 the Rzhevskaya artillery base receives the name of the Rzhevskaya artillery warehouse of the first category, and becomes subordinate to the Artillery Directorate of the Red Army.

In 1923 the warehouse is inspected by the GAU inspectorate, which marks the work of the personnel as one of the best in the young Soviet Republic.

In 1928 the Rzhevsky Artillery Depot was renamed into Military Depot No. 40, from which the name of the residential town came.

In the same years, barracks and the first barrack houses for soliders of the Red Army appeared in the town.

In 1938, Military Depot No. 40 was renamed Military Base No. 40.

In July 1941, with the beginning of the Second World War, military base No. 40, in accordance with the order of the People's Commissar of Defense, was relocated to the city of Alatyr Chuvash ASSR, where it is located to the present, called the 5th arsenal of the GRAU. Immediately after the war, a new military formation was formed on the site of the Rzhev base - the 55th arsenal of the GRAU.
