Белый Остров, War memorial in Sestroretsk, Russia
The memorial consists of a rectangular granite stele positioned on a three-meter-high circular earthen mound, surrounded by triangular anti-tank barriers.
In August 1941, Finnish forces were halted at this location by an operational group under the command of Anatoly Ivanovich Osovsky.
The Green Belt of Glory memorial complex, which includes Bely Ostrov, serves as a foundation for educational programs and military history preservation.
Visitors can reach the memorial by following Primorskoe Highway to the intersection with Zelenogorskoe Highway, near the Rzhavaya Canal.
The memorial features inscriptions detailing its role as a frontline defense position during the 1941-1945 siege of Leningrad.
