      • The stele, by the architect S. G. Mayofis, was erected in 1965 at the junction of Marshala Zhukova Avenue and Stoykosti Street.
      • Along Avangardnaya Street runs the Alley of Glory — 900 birches, for the rounded number of days of the Siege.
      • It is part of the “Kirovsky Val” memorial in the “Green Belt of Glory”.
      • The stele’s inscription reads: “Front line of the defence of Leningrad 1941—1944”.
