Monument to the Soldiers of the Izhora Battalion

The monument to the soldiers of the Izhora Battalion was erected in 1959 in Kolpino on Freedom Boulevard in memory of the feat of the 72nd Battalion, formed from workers of the Izhora Plant. The memorial stele depicts the Order of the Red Banner of Battle, framed by laurel branches with the date 1941 and oak branches with the date 1945, and at the bottom lie three bronze wreaths. The mourning ribbon on the wall symbolizes grief for the fallen, laurel wreaths symbolize their steadfastness and courage, and oak branches symbolize the feat accomplished. The monument is part of the memorial complex "Green Belt of Glory" and is included in the register of cultural heritage sites.
