      🏛 Memorial Pillboxes at Victory Square

      Пулковское ш., 2, северная часть парка Городов-Героев

      Concrete firing points of the “Izhora” line two steps from the monument on Victory Square: the defence line ran here in 1941.

      • The pillboxes were part of the “Izhora” defensive line.
      • Machine-gun and artillery units of the 79th Fortified Region and the anti-tank artillery of the 42nd Army held the defence here.
      • They survive in the northern part of the park on the Victory Square side.
      • In 2024 the park regained the name “Heroic Cities” — partly because of these pillboxes.
