Monument to 25 Komsomol members executed by nazists at 1942

The monument features a metal sculpture of a girl bowing her head over the grave of underground resistance members and a memorial plaque with names.

Twenty-five young Komsomol members were executed by Nazi forces at this location on June 30, 1942, during the German occupation of Gatchina.

The memorial represents the sacrifices of Soviet youth organizations during World War II and maintains a central role in local commemorative ceremonies.

The site includes a paved area surrounded by spruce trees, making it accessible throughout the year for visitors and ceremonial gatherings.

The monument underwent reconstruction in the early 21st century, changing its original light plaque with dark letters to a dark plaque with white inscriptions.
