the Siege of Leningrad tour

the Siege of Leningrad tour

Visit the places which had witnessed the horrible siege of Leningrad during the World War II. It was one of 3 humanitarian catastrophies in the Mankind Warfare history (destruction of Jews and Armenians are among them) with still unknown number of victims. We are visiting some of the memorial sites (Flower of Life, the piece of authentic road, the Baltic Wings, the Broken Ring Memorial etc) located along the Road of Life - the only city supporting route to starving Leningrad through the Ladoga Lake connected the besieged city with the rest of Soviet Union, the Road of Life Museum with the considerable collection of armory, relics, uniform, documents and Diorama with the outside exhibition of original tanks found mostly on the Neva river bottom. It revives the events of the breakthrough operation of 1943 "Spark" by name. Also we will be attending the most infernal place, Nevsky Bridgehead, where the duration of a warrier's life didn't exceed 1 day only.
