the red army garrison of 350 people for almost 16 months . held the defense of the fortress, being at the forefront of the battle for leningrad, the first tiers of washington turned into basements after embankment in the eighteenth century around the fortress bastions by order of peter the great and, lo, they served as dugouts and places where the garrison was located. there were also teams and observation posts, but people were still in, well, open areas, one might say. the territory of the fortress was so visible from the left bank of the neva river. the fortress protected the approaches to the road of life, the only way from the besieged city to the mainland. it started from the western shore of ladoga from cape osinovets not far from the lighthouse, which during the blockade served as a guide for ships, in summer and trucks; in winter, the road

of life museum operates. the ladoga route was shelled by wehrmacht troops around the clock; the germans adjusted the fire on the sinyavino heights captured in the first months of the war; despite numerous heroic attempts to take control of the sinyavino heights, it was only possible for the red army in january 1944. on this section of the front , the capture of nevsky pyatochka, a small piece of land between the village of pavlova and the city of kirov, became strategically important; this bridgehead played an important role in breaking through the blockade and losing the soviet troops. according to various estimates , there were up to 250,000 people living on the nevsky patch long after the end of the great patriotic war due to the large accumulation of fragments from shells, cartridges and weapons in the ground. not even grass grew in this place. september

on this section of the front, which ran along the neva . if those attempts to overcome the neva and advance further had succeeded, then finnish troops were already stationed less than 40 km from here. this is the closest place and it is here that their connection would most likely occur. what next? of course, the blockade of leningrad would have closed and the city would have been taken by enemy troops, but our army , our troops, held precisely this line. on the opposite bank, it was not you who installed one of the most majestic monuments of the green belt of glory, unnamed, twenty meters high the pyramid is topped with a sculpture of a woman and trees, symbolizing the blockade of leningrad, so the front line of defense passed along the shore. for decades, search teams

have found thousands of pieces of equipment on the battlefields. based on them , a museum appeared in the city of vsevolozhsk. the battle of leningrad named after zinovy ​​kolobanov is a living history format ; each museum object is a subject of our national pride. behind each exhibit is the fate of a person. soldiers, defender of the fatherland rashilov, is closely connected with the history of the name of the museum. in honor of the legendary tanker zinovya kolobanov. this is the tank on which lieutenant lastochkin fought; he was part of kolobanov’s company at the time of the battle near the capital. this is a battle that took place on august 19, 1941, and near gatchina, when in one battle a half-company of kv-1 heavy tanks destroyed 43 german tanks and only zinovy ​​kolobanov’s tank

destroyed 22 enemy tanks. that is, this battle has no analogues in military history. the tank as never became a hero of the soviet union; for that battle, senior lieutenant kolobanov was awarded only the order of the battle red knowledge. on the eastern shore of ladoga, in the small village of kabona, there is another museum of equipment raised from the bottom of the lake from kabona during the war , transport caravans began their journey to besieged leningrad only in the first winter to the besieged city in the ice. thousands of tons of food and fuel were delivered, a huge transshipment base was created with a developed network of railways with a developed network of port facilities at different times. more than 20,000 people worked on the road of life. this is the full-time staff of the road lives, including drivers and loaders and sailors who built

fuel and other cargo for 5 months. how the road of life was organized , the roles of scientists in its arrangement and the working conditions of drivers can be found out in the museum of the cabon road of life? in kabon, the st. nicholas church has been preserved, in which, during the siege of leningrad, there was a shelter for city residents taken to the mainland, according to eyewitnesses. inside the church. it was always very quiet; the exhausted people did not even have the strength to moan. january 18, 1943 during during the offensive operation iskra, the forces of the leningrad and volkhov fronts united. the siege of the city was lifted. in places of fierce battles near the village of maryino there is a museum-reserve for breaking the siege of leningrad; the diorama of the museum

depicts the crossing of the neva during operation iskra; the three-dimensional panorama recreates one of the days of the battles of january 1943. it was created by masters, many of whom themselves participated in search work on the battlefields . the battlefield, what it looked like then during the war is absolutely 100% reliable, because the search engines, like no one else, know how it was, in any case, left on this cooled battlefield, as for the characters, they were specially selected, and the employees of our museum-reserve for loot places had connections with relatives. that is, we received autobiographies of these people and that’s it. these are specific people who exactly on this day , january 13, 1943. several piglet panorama fought in this area, as if frozen in the moment of battle, visitors can look into the trenches and dugouts to see the faces of the heroes.
