Blockade Stickleback Monument

The monument to the blockade spiny goby is installed on the western wall of the Obvodny Canal near the Blue Bridge in Kronstadt and was opened on May 8, 2005. This micromonument on the inner side of the granite parapet features three small bronze fish on metal waves. The sculptural composition is dedicated to the fish that saved thousands of Leningrad residents from starvation during the years of the Siege of Leningrad, from which fish soup was cooked, cutlets were made, and fish oil was obtained. The monument is included in the "Memory Book of the Great War," and its image is used for the production of postcards.
