Attack (Memorial)

The "Attack" Memorial in Lomonosov at the 8th kilometer of Gostilitskoye Highway is dedicated to the Siege of Leningrad and the actions of tank troops during the defense of the city. A KV-1 tank from the 204 vehicles of the 2nd Tank Regiment of the 1st Tank Division that fought on the Oranienbaum Bridgehead is installed on the pedestal, soaring upwards, symbolizing a prepared attack on the enemy. The monument, erected in 1969 according to the design of architect A. I. Alymov and sculptors E. M. Agayan and B. A. Svinin, is part of the Small Siege Ring and marks the defense line of 1941–1944. The memorial plaque lists the units that stopped the German offensive in September 1941 and mentions the support from the artillery of the ships of the Baltic Fleet, including the battleship "October Revolution" and the cruisers "Kirov" and "Maxim Gorky".
