Piskaryovskoye Memorial Cemetery
Piskaryovskoye Memorial Cemetery, War memorial in Kalininsky District, Russia
The Piskaryovskoye Memorial Cemetery contains 186 mass graves holding remains of 420,000 civilians and 50,000 soldiers who died during the Siege of Leningrad.
German forces surrounded Leningrad in September 1941, leading to a devastating siege that lasted until January 1944, causing deaths through starvation and bombardment.
The central monument features a bronze statue of Mother Motherland by sculptors Vera Isaeva and Robert Taurit, with granite walls inscribed with verses by Olga Berggolts.
Located at 72A Prospekt Nepokorionnykh, the memorial site remains open daily from 9 AM to 6 PM, with extended hours until 9 PM during summer months.
The eternal flame at the entrance was transported from the Field of Mars in central Saint Petersburg, marking the beginning of a ceremonial path to the main monument.
