Panorama building

The Panorama building has been erected to commemorate the events that have taken place in Pleven during the Russian - Turkish war (1877-1878) for the liberation of Bulgaria from 500 years long Turkish yoke. The chosen location is in the middle of the battle grounds.
The panoramic view is one of the largest in the world, having dimensions of 15 meters (50ft) in height by 110 meters (360ft) in lenght.
The lower half of the panoramic view is real, while the upper half is painting.

You will be encouraged to know that Plevna is memorialised in England by 18 streets being named Plevna. Rows of houses that were built at that time. See my research at my website at goldenaer dot com/Plevna_Siege
Most people in the North of England supported the Russian side But most people in the South of England supported the Turks:
Plevna Terrace, Bingley (where I grew up)
Plevna Terrace, Great Yarmouth
Plevna Terrace, Sunderland, Durham
Plevna Terrace, Tywyn Wales
Plevna Street, Poplar, London E14
Plevna Street, Hartlepool
Plevna Street, Bolton, Lancs BL2 2BY
Plevna Road, Hampton Village, Middlesex
Plevna Road, Enfield, London
Plevna Road, Edmonton, London N9 0BU
Plevna Road, Richmond, London TW12
Plevna Road. Stoke Newington, Middlesex
Plevna Place, Alton, GU34 2DS
Plevna Park, Edmonton, London
Plevna Park, Falls, Belfast, N. Ireland
Plevna Crescent, S.Tottenham, London N15
Plevna Crescent, Stoke-Newington
Plevna Crescent, Haringey
I have also found five Plevnas in the Americas:
Plevna Montana MT59344
Plevna Kansas KS67568
Plevna North Madison County AL
Plevna in Missouri MO67568
Plevna in Ontario KOH 2MO.
Also I have found a Plevna Court in Parkwood, Perth, Australia.

The last picture is wrong. Osman pasha sourounded to an Romanian colonel(Cristodulo Cerchez), and his words were: I will handover my sword to the brave Romanian army. In fact during the battles the only tactical succes was obtained by Romanian army by taking the grivitza 1 redoubt.

Thanks
to all heroes who made it possible the liberation of our country,
even some of them laid down their bones here in the historical battle for Pleven, Bulgaria and Europe.

Hello,
I do search for any remarks of presence of my ancestors who lived in Pleven between 1877 - 1945 and took part in liberation struggles. I will welcome any info.

It was interesting to see this because my great grandfathers brother died there 24.10.1877 in Russian troops. In Russian troops there were many Finnish officers and solieders among them Karl Sihlman (Carl Constantin Sihlman) who falled in the strikes.
