Martishkin Memorial

The Martyshkino Memorial in the city of Lomonosov is located on the burial site of the defenders of the Oranienbaum bridgehead during the Great Patriotic War. The memorial contains 136 marked graves, mainly of soldiers from the 301st Regiment of the 48th Rifle Division, and a symbolic grave of Hero of the Soviet Union Ivan Andreevich Nemkov is arranged in the southern part. Young scout Georgy Antonenko is also buried here, after whom a street in Martyshkino was named in 1968. The official opening date of the memorial is considered to be 1975, when, after a re-planning, the northern part of the complex was separated from the highway by anchor chains.
