To the Alpinists of sieged Leningrad, War memorial in Saint Petersburg, Russia
The stone monument features troops and workers carved in relief, advancing forward alongside a central obelisk that stands against the urban surroundings.
The memorial pays tribute to the defenders who protected Leningrad during the 900-day siege from 1941 to 1944, when German forces surrounded the city.
Sculptor Grigorij Danilovič Jastrebeneckij designed this monument to represent the strength and determination of those who defended the city during wartime.
The monument stands near Moskovskaya metro station, making it accessible for visitors who want to learn about the city's wartime experiences.
Within the memorial site, a section acknowledges the naval vessels that supported the city's defense efforts during the prolonged German blockade.
