    This tank has an interesting story. It was part of a Russian tank unit which entered Romania in 1944. The vehicle fell from a pontoon bridge into the river Prut, remaining there for the next 60 years. Recently, it was recovered (at least what remained from it) and is now exhibited at the museum. First time when I've seen it, back in 2013, I was very impressed. When decided to look on it's side I realised that... there was missing half of the tank, plus the turret. But still, it was an interesting vehicle...
