Garden of Peace memorial, War memorial in Vsevolozhsky District, Russia

The Garden of Peace memorial stands at the 38th kilometre of the Vyborg Highway in the Yukkovskoye rural settlement, Vsevolozhsky District. An artificial mound carries a granite-block stele 10 m long and 2.8 m high, its inscription carved by stonecutter A. K. Shcheglov. To the right stand anti-tank concrete blocks taken from nearby wartime defences, one bearing the date 24.VIII.1941; to the left is an apple orchard, and a 175 m birch alley runs along the former defence line.

The memorial was established in 1967 and became part of the Green Belt of Glory, a commemorative network honoring those affected by military conflicts. This initiative grew from the desire to create lasting memorial spaces integrated with natural surroundings.

The memorial's name, Garden of Peace, is echoed by an apple orchard of twelve trees planted left of the stele as a symbol of the triumph of life. A 175-metre birch alley runs from the left side of the memorial along the former defence line, intended as the start of a walking route to the Sestra memorial of the Green Belt of Glory.

The site is accessible by car from surrounding districts via local roads, making it easy to reach by vehicle. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear since the ground can be uneven and paths wind through a wooded area.

The memorial grounds are surrounded by pine forest that covers much of the district's landscape and naturally integrates the site into its surroundings. This wooded setting means visitors experience remembrance while immersed in a natural environment.
