Citizens! During shelling this side of the street is the most dangerous, War memorial inscription on Nevsky Prospect, Saint Petersburg, Russia
The stark message 'Citizens! During shelling this side of the street is the most dangerous' remains painted on the northern wall of building 210.
German artillery fired over 150,000 shells from the Pulkovo Heights into Leningrad during the 872-day siege from 1941 to 1944.
Poet Mikhail Dudin initiated the restoration of these warning signs in 1962, transforming them into permanent reminders of civilian resistance.
The memorial inscription stands at eye level on the building's facade, allowing visitors to photograph the message and accompanying commemorative plaque.
This warning message represents one of several authentic siege-era inscriptions preserved throughout Saint Petersburg as public war memorials.
