Lomonosov City of Military Glory Stele

The stele "City of Military Glory" is located in Lomonosov in the 300th Anniversary of Oranienbaum Square on Dvortsovy Avenue. The monument is a column on a high pedestal, surrounded by pylons with bas-reliefs, one of which depicts the founding of Oranienbaum in 1711 with figures of Peter the Great and A. D. Menshikov. The city received this title for the heroic 29-month defense of the Oranienbaum bridgehead during the Great Patriotic War, when 27 of its defenders were awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union. The memory of military valor is also associated with the Battle of Krasnaya Gorka in 1790 and the history of the Samara 147th Infantry Regiment, which was stationed here from 1881.
