Memorial Sign to the Peterhof Landing Force (Kronshtadt)

Kronstadt, Leningradskaya Pier

A memorial sign dedicated to the Peterhof landing force is installed at the Leningrad pier in Kronstadt, from where ships carrying the landing force departed in 1941. The memorial plaques on the sign contain a historical reference and list the names of all 513 members of the detachment, which was formed from volunteers of the crews of the ships "Marat", "October Revolution", the cruiser "Petropavlovsk", and "Aurora". The preparation of the landing force took only four days under Zhukov's orders, and in 2020 the sculpture was restored and the adjacent area was improved. An annual solemn and mourning rally is held at the monument on the day of the landing force's departure.
