Petrovka, War memorial in Krasny Kholm, Russia

Petrovka is a war memorial in Krasny Kholm, Russia, built over a mass grave of Soviet soldiers who died during World War Two. The structure features inscribed names and architectural elements typical of Soviet-era commemorative monuments.

The first graves here date from the 1939–1940 Winter War; in 1941 tankmen of the 146th Tank Regiment were buried after a mine explosion. In 1957 a symbolic soldier statue named after Hero of the Soviet Union K.K. Shestakov was placed on the mass grave. The present monument, designed by Vyborg architect Alexander M. Shver, was built in 1974 and unveiled on 9 May, its plaques then recording 4,119 known names.

People gather here around the anniversary of the end of the war to pay their respects to those buried at the site. The occasion brings together older and younger visitors in a shared moment of remembrance.

The memorial lies 2 km north of Krasny Kholm on the 10th kilometre of the Svetogorskoye highway, at the junction of the A181 "Scandinavia" road and the 41K-419 Palcevo–Gvardeyskoye road. It is reached by car; the site is a paved three-level platform with steps between levels, so parts are not step-free.

The soldier figure erected on the grave in 1957 bore the name of Hero of the Soviet Union Konstantin Shestakov, though the sculpture did not resemble him. The 1974 monument by architect Alexander Shver recorded 4,119 names then known; a plaque added on 20 June 2022 honours 541 more who died between 24 June and 30 August 1944.
