Anchor Memorial, War memorial in Petrovskoye, Russia.

The Anchor Memorial stands at the 10th kilometre of the Gostilitskoye Highway in Petrovskoye, Leningrad Oblast. It consists of two joined concrete slabs pierced by embrasures, imitating a ruined naval fortress wall, with reliefs of a star, hammer and sickle. Two ship's anchors resting on granite boulders stand in front, giving the memorial its name.

The memorial was built in 1967 at the 10th kilometre of the Gostilitskoye Highway, where in September 1941 a battalion of cadets from the Navy's military-economic and intendancy school halted the German advance. Veterans Colonel I. T. Iokhin and Captain 1st Rank A. F. Tolochko designed the first monument, paid for by school graduates: a pink Karelian granite stele. Architect V. N. Tsitsin and artist O. G. Kukushkin rebuilt it in 1970.

The name comes from the two ship's anchors set on granite boulders in front of the memorial; the original 1967 stele was ringed by four anchors joined by a chain. Cadets of the A. S. Popov Higher Naval Radioelectronics School in Petrodvorets acted as sponsors of the monument.

The memorial stands outdoors and is accessible on foot from the village center. Visitors should note this is a simple commemorative site with no additional facilities or amenities.

The two ship's anchors in front of the memorial rest on granite boulders; the original 1967 stele was surrounded by four anchors joined by a chain. The anchors gave the monument its name, and the left concrete slab keeps a fragment of the first pink Karelian granite stele with the names of fallen cadets and officers.
