Pulkovo Line of Defense memorial, War memorial in Saint Petersburg, Russia.

The Pulkovo Line of Defense memorial stands on the southern slope of the Pulkovo Heights by Pulkovo Highway, built in 1967 by workers of Leningrad's Moskovsky District. Its centrepiece is a 34-metre horizontal concrete stele with a mosaic panel of white, grey and black granite showing scenes from the besieged city, including the heroism of Leningrad women. Two T-34/85 tanks, numbered 112 and 113, flank the monument, and a birch alley and concrete anti-tank obstacles line the road.

The memorial was built in 1967 by workers of Leningrad's Moskovsky District on the southern slope of the Pulkovo Heights, at the line where the German advance was halted in September 1941. Its authors were architect Y. N. Lukin, sculptor L. L. Mikhaylyonok and artist A. P. Olkhovich. In January 1944 the line served as the starting point for the offensive of the 42nd Army's shock group.

The memorial is part of the Green Belt of Glory, a chain of monuments that runs around Saint Petersburg to honor those who held the front lines during the siege. Walking through the site, visitors can read inscriptions that name specific military units and the positions they defended.

The site has several levels that can be visited on foot, so comfortable shoes are a good idea. The underground exhibition is reached by stairs, and it can feel noticeably cooler below ground even on warm days.
