Piskarev Memorial Cemetery-Museum

Along with cultural and historical sights, St. Petersburg has another, no less revered value: the spiritual courage of the city's inhabitants, who died of hunger, cold, diseases, who died during shelling, but defended the masterpieces of culture from fascism and preserved them for humanity at the cost of their own lives. The symbol of memory of the victims of the besieged Leningrad is the Piskarevsky memorial. This is not only a museum of the Feat of Leningrad, its defenders, but also a school of patriotism, love for their homeland for young residents of our city. On the territory of 28 hectares for 900 days of blockade in huge mass graves buried about half a million people. This is the largest cemetery in the world, created during the war. It's in the Guinness Book.
