centuries, the neva region belonged to the great novgorod and was called the vodskaya pyatina, but the strategically advantageous territory between lake ladash and the neva bay of the gulf of finland repeatedly aroused interest among neighboring states. the leningrad region is located in the north-west of russia, the region borders on two countries, estonia and finland. distance by rail from moscow to st. petersburg. 50 km, travel time with the red train is about 4 hours, by plane an hour and a half. st. petersburg, founded in 1703, more than two centuries was the capital of the russian empire. the citadel city was built according to the plans of emperor peter ii on the waterway to western europe and became the largest port on the baltic, but 460 years before the founding of st. petersburg,

a famous battle took place on the banks of the neva with the swedish army of the squad of prince alexander yaroslavich. in honor of the glorious victory, the prince received the nickname "nevsky". the battle of the neva took place in 1240 at the confluence of the izhora and neva rivers in the area of ​​the modern cities of ust and zhora. canonized commander alexander nevsky considered one of the patrons of russian troops. after the october revolution of 197, the capital was again moved from st. petersburg to moscow, from 1924 to 1991, the city was called leningrad, in honor of the leader of the socialist revolution, vladimir lenin. during the great patriotic war, leningrad was besieged by the troops of hitler and his allies. leningraders spent almost 900 days and nights under military siege. their resilience became a symbol of invincibility. the siege

of leningrad began in september 1941, when wehrmacht troops occupied the city shliselburg, at the source of the neva. only the ancient fortress of oreshek on a small island remained unconquered, which served as a farpost since the 14th century. the powerful walls and tower of the fortress became a shelter for the garrison of the red army. 350 people. they held the defense of the fortress for almost 16 months, being at the forefront of the battle for leningrad. the first tiers of the towers turned into basements after the filling of bastions around the fortress in the 16th century by order of peter ii. and so they served as dugouts, and in places where the garrison was located, there were also command observation points, but people were still on, so to speak, an open area, only

the territory of the fortress was visible from the left bank of the neva river, the fortress protected the approaches to the road of life. the only route from the besieged city to the mainland began from the western coast of ladaga, from cape osinovets. not far from the lighthouse, which during the blockade served as a guide for ships in the summer and trucks in the winter, there is a museum called the road of life. wehrmacht troops shelled the ladazhsky route around the clock. the germans corrected the fire of the sinyavinsky heights, captured in the first months of the war. despite numerous heroic attempts , it was possible to take control of the nadiavin heights only in january 1944. for the red army in this section of the front, the capture of the neva patch, a small piece of land between, became strategically important. pavlovo and the city of kirovsk. this

bridgehead played an important role in breaking the blockade. the losses of soviet troops on the nevsky patch, according to various estimates, amounted to up to 250,000 people. for a long time after the end of the great patriotic war, due to the great accumulations of shell fragments and weapon casings in the ground; not even grass grew in this place. september 4, it was in this territory, and even until january 44, there were continuous practically attempts to free the city of lenin from the blockade in which about a million people were killed by the enemy by terrible starvation, all these numerous, not always successful attempts to break the blockade, this there were, of course, attempts to save the civilian population. in the sixties , green appeared in the leningrad region. from

glory: a chain of memorials at the battle sites for leningrad, several monuments of the complex are dedicated to the defenders of the ivanovo patch, a bridgehead on the tosna river, which was recaptured from the germans during the ust' tosninsky operation . the first obelisk appeared during the war in 1944. the stellus was designed and installed by the soviet architect vasily petrov at the site of the death of his fellow soldiers he himself participated in the battles on this section of the front, which passed along the niva. if we were to remove those attempts to overcome the niva and advance further, then from here, less than 40 km away, they were already standing. this the closest place would most likely have been their connection, which in the future, of course, the blockade of leningrad would have slammed and the city would have been taken by enemy troops, but our army, our troops held exactly this line, on the opposite bank of the neva

one of the most majestic monuments was erected green belt of glory, unnamed height, twenty-meter pyramid: topped with a sculpture of a woman and trees symbolizing life. during the siege of leningrad , the front line of defense passed along this bank. for decades search teams found thousands of pieces of equipment on the battlefields. based on them, the battle of leningrad museum named after zenovy kolabanov appeared in the city of vsevolozhsk. this is... a format of living history, each object of the museum is a subject of our national pride, behind each exhibit is the fate of a person, a soldier, a defender of the fatherland, the history of the museum is closely connected with the klim voroshilov tank, the name of the museum is in honor of the legendary tanker zinoviy

kolabanov, this is a tank, on in which lieutenant lastochkin fought, he was part of kolabanov’s company at the time of the battle under the troops, this is a fight that. august forty-one, and spoiled when in one battle, and half a company and heavy kv1 tanks, 43 german tanks were destroyed, only 22 enemy tanks were destroyed by kolabanov’s tank, that is, this battle has no analogues in military history. tank az never became a hero of the soviet union. for that battle, senior lieutenant kolabanov was awarded only the order of the red banner of battle. on the eastern shore of ladaga, in the small village of kabona, there is another museum of equipment raised from the bottom of the lake. they started from kobona during the war their way to besieged leningrad - transport caravans. in the first winter alone

, thousands of tons of food and fuel were delivered to the besieged city over the ice. a huge transshipment base with a developed network of railways and a developed network of port facilities was created in kabon. at the time , more than 20,000 people worked on the road of life, this is the full-time staff of the road of life, including drivers, loaders, storekeepers, and sailors. 13 berths, which were built in 5 months, received people, equipment, fuel and others cargo. how the road of life was organized, and the role of scientists in its arrangement and working conditions for drivers, can be found out in the kabon museum, road of life. in kobon, the st. nicholas church has been preserved, in which during the siege of leningrad there was a shelter for the city’s residents taken to the mainland. according to eyewitnesses, it was always very quiet inside the church; the exhausted people did not

even have the strength to stand. on january 18 , 1943, during the offensive operation, the leningrad force sparked. the siege of the city was eventually lifted. in places of fierce battles not far from the village of maryina, there is a museum-reserve of the breakthrough of the siege of leningrad. the museum's dirama depicts the crossing of the neva during operation spark. the three-dimensional panorama recreates one of the days of the battles in january forty-third of the year. it was created by masters, many of whom themselves participated in search work during... battles. the battlefield , how it looked then during the war, is absolutely one hundred percent reliable, because the search engines, like no one else, know how it, in any case, remained on this cooled battlefield. as for the personnel,

then they were specially selected by the employees of our museum-reserve, based on their identity cards, there were connections with relatives, that is, we received autobiographies, biographies of these people, that is, these are specific people who fought in this area exactly on this... january 13, 1943 german pellet. the panorama is like a frozen moment of battle. visitors can. into the dugout trenches, examine the faces of the heroes, among them dog handler margarita minshagina from the thirty-fourth separate battalion of the leningrad front, which was called girl team. with the help of dogs , female sappers delivered shells to the front line, established communications, and transported the wounded from the battlefield. the corridor that was broken through then was very narrow, it was a corridor between lake ladoga and the sinyayonsky heights, the width of this ladoga corridor was... only 8 km, a railway was built there and it

worked in close proximity for almost the entire remaining forty-third year from the enemy, literally under the noses of the germans, under artillery fire. january 27, 1944 during krasnoselsko-robsha operation, leningrad was completely liberated from the blockade. the battle of leningrad is the longest in the history of the great patriotic war. for a few more months, the defense of leningrad was of enormous strategic importance, the nazi command was deprived of the ability to maneuver and could not transfer troops to other directions, including moscow or stalingrad. for mass heroism and courage of the defenders, in 1965, leningrad was awarded the title of hero city.
