Tarakaniv Fort (1888) is in s.Tarakanovo, near Dubna, Rivne region. Was built in the late 19th century by the Russian tsarist government to strengthen the western borders in case of war with the Austro-Hungarian Empire. At the time, the fort was a miracle of military engineering. Besides stone used in its construction and reinforced concrete, there were iron airtight door, elevator, which rises from the cellars of ammunition. Fort was even provided with telephones and lighting.
It was built very quick in the 70-80 of the XIX century and the early twentieth reconstructed. In the First World, and in the Civil and the Second World War the avalanche rolled fights fort troops avoided, considering it inappropriate to put the lives of soldiers for strategically unimportant object. The most significant episodes in the history of the fort battle can be attributed to its destruction during the momentous Brusilovsky breakthrough summer of 1916, in the battle, killing 200 soldiers of Austrian army, buried nearby. And in 1920 the cavalry Budennogo attempted attack head-take capacity involved by the time the Poles. The assault was unsuccessful, and the Red Army withdrew from attempts to take the fort.
After the war, the territory of the Soviet era fortifications used as a shooting range. Repeated attempts to transform the dungeons in any useful household objects were unprofitable. Now fort continues to die.
