Prokhorovka, Belgorod Oblast

Prokhorovka (Russian: Про́хоровка, IPA: [ˈproxərəfkə]) is an urban locality (a settlement) and the administrative center of Prokhorovsky District of Belgorod Oblast, Russia, along the Psyol River southeast of the city of Kursk.

Polish nobleman Kiril G. Ilyinsky and his son Sava left during the Russo-Polish war of 1654–1667 in Poland under the Belgorod, where they founded the suburb Elias.

At the same time Prokhorovka station was built, named after the railway engineer V. I. Prokhorov responsible for its construction.

In July 2013, Vice Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin offered to establish by 2015 a museum commemorating the battle.

The display of armored vehicles will be permanent and the technologies shown there will bring up recollections of the events of World War II.
