Pulkovo Line of Defense memorial
Pulkovo Line of Defense memorial, War memorial in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
The Pulkovo Line of Defense memorial consists of stone structures and sculptures marking the defensive position where Soviet forces protected Leningrad during World War II.
Constructed in 1967 under architect Y.A. Lukin, the memorial commemorates the defense efforts during the 1941-1944 German siege of Leningrad, now Saint Petersburg.
The memorial forms a section of the Green Belt of Glory, a network of monuments encircling Saint Petersburg that preserves the memory of wartime defenders.
Located at 100 Pulkovo Highway, the memorial includes an underground exhibition hall with maps, photographs, and documents detailing the city's defense strategies.
Gas torches illuminate engravings within the memorial's broken ring structure, recording the names and actions of military units that defended the city.
