* In July 1941, a huge strip of fortifications was built at a distance of just over 100 kilometers from Leningrad, which became the scene of fierce positional battles for almost a month and a half. Subsequent battles overshadowed the defense of this frontier in their scale and size of losses, but it was here that the plan for the lightning capture of Leningrad during Operation Barbarossa was foiled. Here, the first divisions of the people's militia took their baptism of fire and burned down in battles, which could only oppose patriotism and self-sacrifice to the armament and combat training of the Wehrmacht. Here, in the Moloskovitsy area, some of the largest tank battles in Northwestern Russia took place in mid-August 1941, with only a few modest obelisks standing in villages far from main roads and tourist routes. What we will see: - The Ivanovo bridgehead, which the Germans called the "Gates of Leningrad."
