Памятник «Полуторка», World War II memorial in Vsevolozhsk, Russia.
The memorial features a full-size bronze replica of a GAZ-AA truck positioned on Rumbolovsky Hill at kilometer 10 of the Road of Life.
During the siege of Leningrad from 1941, GAZ-AA trucks transported food supplies to the city and evacuated residents across Lake Ladoga's frozen surface.
The inscription 'In Memory of the Soldier-Machine' on the memorial recognizes the critical role of these vehicles during the 872-day Leningrad blockade.
The memorial stands near the Church of the Holy Face, with direct access from central Vsevolozhsk through public transportation or walking paths.
The GAZ-AA truck earned its nickname 'Polutorka' from its 1.5-ton carrying capacity and could operate on low-grade fuels including kerosene.
