From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Krasny Bor (Russian: Кра́сный Бор) is a village in Shatkovsky District of Nizhny Novgorod Oblast, Russia, located about 17 km south-east from Arzamas.

Tanya Savicheva was buried there in 1944. In 1972 a stela with the bas-relief of the girl and pages from her diary was built on Tanya's grave for means earned by Young Pioneers and members of the Komsomol from the Shatkovsky District. The author of that project was Dmitry Kurtashkin, a tenth-form schoolboy from Staro-Ivantsevo village of Shatkovsky District.
