Pavlov's House (Russian: дом Павлова) was an apartment in the former Soviet Union. It is well-known for its defensive position during the Battle of Stalingrad between the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany (Pavlov's House: 27 September – 25 November 1942; 60 days). Its importance remained a key victory for the Red Army and later on the Soviet propaganda.

Name

The name "Pavlov's House" came from Soviet sergeant Yakov Pavlov, who was in charge of defending the apartment.
