Monument to the Heroic Defenders of Leningrad

This powerful and impressive monument was built as the focal point of Ploshchad Pobedy (Victory Square) in the early 1970s to commemorate the heroic efforts of the residents of Leningrad and the soldiers on the Leningrad Front to the repel the Nazis in the 900-day Siege of Leningrad during World War II.

If you come from Pulkovo airport and want to go straight to the heart of the city, you'll meet this large momument. There is no avoiding it.
