🕯 A memorial in Leningrad region was opened in memory of civilians of the #USSR – victims of the Nazi invaders – on 27 January, the day of the 80th anniversary of the breaking of the siege of Leningrad.

🕊 The monument is one of the tallest in the country (47 m), a mournful figure of a woman hugging her children, a symbol of the enormous tragedy of ordinary people.

🙏 150 real human destinies from different regions of the country are resurrected at the site where more than 80,000 civilians, children and prisoners of war were tortured in concentration camps during the Great Patriotic War.
