Piskarevsky memorial cemetery located in the northeast of St. Petersburg, one of the mass graves of victims of the Siege of Leningrad and soldiers of the Leningrad Front. A memorial to the fallen was erected at the cemetery.

The Piskarevskoye cemetery was founded in 1939 on the northern outskirts of Leningrad and was named after the nearby village of Piskarevka. In -1944 it became a place of mass graves. Victims of the blockade of Leningrad and soldiers of the Leningrad Front are buried in mass graves (about 470 thousand people in total; according to other sources, 520 thousand people - 470 thousand blockade survivors and 50 thousand military personnel). Largest number deaths occurred in the winter of 1941-1942. (So, on February 15, 1942, 8452 dead were delivered for burial at the cemetery, on February 19 - 5569, on February 20 - 10043). Blockade researcher writer Mikhail Strygin disputes the number of those buried and suggests that in reality about 3 million people were buried [ ] . In 1941, about 3 million refugees arrived in Leningrad, the number of inhabitants reached almost 6 million people, and the death rate reached a value of about 62% [ ] .

In the center of the architectural and sculptural ensemble is a six-meter bronze sculpture"Motherland" - a mourning stele with high reliefs recreating episodes of the life and struggle of fighting Leningrad. The authors of the ensemble are architects A. V. Vasiliev, E. A. Levinson, sculptors V. V. Isaeva and R. K. Taurit (“Motherland” and reliefs on the side walls), M. A. Vainman, B. E Kaplyansky, A. L. Malahin, M. M. Kharlamova (high reliefs on the central stele).

In front of the entrance to the Piskarevskoye Memorial Cemetery there is a commemorative marble plaque with the inscription:

The author of the inscriptions on the propylaea at the entrance to the cemetery is front-line poet Mikhail Dudin.

In two pavilions at the entrance to the Piskaryovskoye cemetery there is a museum dedicated to the feat of the inhabitants and defenders of the city: the diary of Tanya Savicheva, a Leningrad schoolgirl who survived the horrors of the winter of 1941-1942, is exhibited.

Monument inscription:

On the granite steps of the stairs leading from the Eternal Flame, visitors go to main alley 480 meters long, which leads to the majestic monument "Motherland". On the granite wall located behind the monument, the lines of Olga Bergholz are carved:

In the western part of the cemetery there are sections of individual civilian burials, as well as burials of soldiers who died during Soviet-Finnish war 1939-1940s.

Along the eastern border of the cemetery is the Alley of Memory. In memory of the defenders of Leningrad, memorial plates from cities and regions of Russia, the CIS and foreign countries, as well as organizations that worked in the besieged city.
