      • The pedestal carries a KV-85 heavy tank built at the Kirov Plant in Chelyabinsk — one of only two survivors.
      • The monument was erected in 1951 on the proposal of the designer Zhozef Kotin and to a design by the architect V. A. Kamensky.
      • Behind the tank survives a pillbox where tank-destroyer units of the 42nd Army held the line.
      • In 1945 a Triumphal Arch stood nearby: on 8 July troops returning from the front were welcomed here.
      • Since 2020 the square with the tank has been called Leningradsky.
