Description

Type: Single-day activity
Duration: 2.5 hours
* The whole world knows about the Piskarevskoye Memorial Cemetery, where more than half a million Leningraders are buried. But even many residents of St. Petersburg still do not know about the same mass grave in Victory Park. On our tour, you will have the opportunity to visit this place, see the memorials, and learn the terrible truth about the work of the crematorium here during the blockade. And a mass grave nearby. But it is difficult to find it without a guide. We will remember how the city fought and survived these 900 days and nights, and the only exception was made for it during the entire Great Patriotic War, when the fireworks in honor of liberation thundered not in Moscow, but in Leningrad. The most unexpected historical pages will open before the participants of the trip around the city. We will tell you how they wanted to make an airfield on the Palace Square and how the monuments were masked, we will see a warning: "Citizens, this side of the street is the most dangerous during shelling," a blockaded loudspeaker and a blockaded wormwood where residents of the city collected water. You will see the buildings where hospitals and bomb shelters were located, learn that churches worked during the siege, and back in 1943, 12 priests received the medal "For the Defense of Leningrad." We will drive to the defense line, telling you how the enterprises worked and where the Leningrad mining center was located. We will show you where the famous Leningrad Symphony was performed, proving that this is not a city of the dead, as the fascists claimed after the first winter of the siege. On the tour, surprise is combined with tears and laughter. After all, it turns out that life went on: children were born, divorces happened, and even the blood collection point, where donors came with their containers, worked smoothly...
