The greatest flowering in the socio-economic development of Bendery reached the mid 80s of the 20th century.

16. For many years, the fortress was not available to attend, as is located in the territory of the military unit is now part of the fortress is open for those who want and is on long-term (to the year 2008) restored. To get to the walls of the fortress you need to overcome a certain distance of the industrial zone in Soviet times around a set up factories, not particularly caring about the neighborhood of the historical monument.
17. Just outside the walls of the fortress is a bust of Baron Munchausen. For me it was a real discovery to find out that Munchausen, is not a fictional character, a real-life person. Next to the bust - the layout of the core with a seat, riding on which he flew over the fort, but it is, of course, literary fiction. "Baron Munchausen in the regiment of Prince Ulrich showed special courage in the bloody battle with the Turks near the river. Beloci (Rybnitsa) August 14, 1738. It was this campaign to Bender went on to become the basis for the story "Flight to the cannonball over the fortress" - is written on one of the plates next to the bust.

22. Wishing to take a walk on the fortress except we did not have, but it certainly was visited Bendery all students.
23. Bender Fortress - the main motive for postcards, souvenirs from Bender, and her image can be found on the Transnistrian currency and stamps.
24. The favorable strategic position on the high bank of the Dniester River near its confluence with the Black Sea made the city one of the strongholds of the Turks in the Russian-Turkish wars. During the Russian-Turkish wars in the 18th century the territory passed from hand to hand, it is for his merits in the battles in Bendery remember and honor Mikhail Kutuzov.
