      • The first obelisk was erected in 1944 (architects K. L. Johansen and V. A. Petrov).
      • In 1983–1984 the concrete obelisk was replaced with a granite one, and the memorial zone was designed by the sculptor G. D. Yastrebenetsky.
      • The inscription reads: “On this line on 18 September 1941 the heroic defenders of Leningrad stopped the German hordes”.
      • The obelisk is a federal-level cultural heritage site, part of the “Kirovsky Val” memorial.
