Description
The Flower of Life Memorial is a war memorial in Vsevolozhsky District featuring a 15-meter tall daisy sculpture with petals shaped like a boy in pioneer dress. The grounds include stone plaques and pathways designed to guide visitors through the memorial space.
History
The memorial opened in 1968 and forms part of the Green Belt of Glory, a series of sites marking defense positions around Leningrad during the 1941-1944 siege. This section of the commemorative landscape honors the young people who defended the city.

The monument displays eight stone stelae inscribed with passages from Tanya's diary, revealing her personal account of living through the siege. These texts allow visitors to connect with the real experiences of someone who endured this period.
