| SIEGE OF LENINGRAD MEMORIAL |
|
SIEGE OF LENINGRAD MEMORIAL (on Moskovsky Prospekt) was perhaps the greatest disaster to happen to St. Petersburg in all of its history. All Russians will always remember the siege, which lasted 900 days during World War II, as a great atrocity against humanity. In honor of the bravery and losses suffered by the citizens of Leningrad, the Siege of Leningrad Memorial can be found on Moskovsky Prospekt. Located near Moskovskaya metro station, the memorial is a beautiful, yet powerful reminder to all those who visit it. The memorial consists of a large obelisk, a large statue of the forward march of troops and workers of Leningrad, and a small memorial of all the ships that were involved in helping in the liberation of the city. The memorial brings chills to ones body, as one stands in awe of the history, grief, and beautiful monuments that stand in place at the memorial. |
