      🏛 Broken Ring Memorial

      Коккорево, ш. Дорога Жизни

      A memorial right on the shore of Ladoga — a quiet place with a view of the open lake.

      • The memorial opened on 29 October 1966; its authors are architect Viktor Filippov and sculptor Konstantin Simun.
      • Each concrete half-arch weighs 32 tonnes and rises 7 metres; the gap between them is the Road of Life itself.
      • Tyre tracks of vehicles are imprinted in the concrete of the platform under the arches.
      • The memorial stands on Vaganovsky Spusk, from where convoys set off across the ice, 30 km to the eastern shore.
      • In 2015 an Eternal Flame brought from the Piskaryovskoye Cemetery was lit under the arches.
      • The annual winter "Road of Life" marathon starts from here.
