Stela "City of Military Glory" (Kolpino)

The stele "City of Military Glory" was solemnly opened in May 2015 in the Heroes-Izhortsy Square of the city of Kolpino. On the blade of the sword installed on the monument, which is 1.2 meters long, is engraved a phrase by Prince Alexander Nevsky stating that he who comes with the sword will perish by the sword. In 2022, at the Victory Museum on Poklonnaya Hill, the city, like other cities of military glory, was awarded the Sword of Victory — a blade covered with gold and adorned with precious stones. The first stone at the site of the future stele was laid on August 31, 2012, with the participation of veterans and representatives of the administration.
