Siege of Leningrad Memorial

The Siege of Leningrad Memorial honors the thousands of Soviet civilians and soldiers who endured the nearly 900-day blockade by Nazi forces during World War II, from 1941 to 1944. The siege caused extreme starvation, cold, and hardship, yet the city resisted and ultimately survived. The memorial serves as a somber reminder of human resilience, sacrifice, and the tragic impact of war, offering a space for reflection on the suffering endured and the importance of peace. It stands as a testament to those who fought and perished to defend Leningrad, now St. Petersburg.
