Preserving history is in our DNA, and, as many of you already know, we’ve been active in a number of other tank-based restoration and preservation initiatives. So, when Wargaming got the chance to help restore the vehicle, we jumped at it. The tank, or what was left of it, had been sitting there, unbeknownst to anyone, for over 60 years. After diving and heaving and scooping back mud, the crew found a turret equipped with a rare L-11 gun, and fragments of the running gear, as well as a part of the hull’s underside. In November 2015, fragments of the iconic KV-1 were discovered and salvaged from a bog in the Vitebsk region, Belarus. How does this all fit together, you may ask? However, these two are linked by a battle in World War II that many not be familiar with. Most of you may also be aware of Kolobanov’s medal in the same game. Most of you know the KV-1 from World of Tanks, which sits at Tier V in the Soviet Tech Tree on the PC version. Wargaming and The Historical and Cultural Complex Stalin Line have been busy making the tank full functional.
