Museum-diorama "Breakthrough of the Siege of Leningrad"

The Museum-Reserve “Breakthrough of the Siege of Leningrad” was created in the Southern Ladoga region on the places of fierce battles for Leningrad during the Great Patriotic War. Its artistic and ideological dominant is the diorama dedicated to the breakthrough of the blockade of Leningrad in January 1943 and placed on the ramp of the Ladoga Bridge near the village of Maryino in the Kirov district of the Leningrad region. The Diorama Museum, the first and only museum of its kind in the Northwest, opened on May 7, 1985. The creators of the diorama (a tape-shaped, curved semicircle picture with three-dimensional objects located in the foreground) are Leningrad artists, war veterans and participants in the Leningrad epic Yu.N. Garikov, L.V. Kabachek, B.V. Kotik, N.M. Kutuzov, G.K. Moltenninov, F.V. Savostyanov, V.I. Seleznev.

In addition to the diorama museum, the “Breakthrough of the Siege of Leningrad” reserve includes several more monuments. These are the memorial complex "Nevsky Pyatachok" (3 km from the village of Maryino, on the southern outskirts of Kirovsk), Sinyavinsky Heights and the place of the breakthrough of the blockade - the meeting of the troops of the Leningrad and Volkhov fronts.

The museum organizes thematic excursions and special events on pre-order.
