The ceremony at the monument to the People's Militia
On 27 January, the Day of the Full Liberation of Leningrad from the Nazi Blockade, students from our university took part in commemorative events.
They laid flowers at the monument to the People's Militia near the Baltic Station. The monument is dedicated to the city residents who, during the siege, departed from here to fight in the Leningrad People's Militia Army.
SPbGASU students also took part in a memorial ceremony at the Piskarevskoye Memorial Cemetery. By laying flowers at the "Motherland" monument, the participants honored the memory of those who perished during the terrible days of the siege.
The "Candle of Memory" event took place within the university walls: candles were lit at the Memorial Boards on the upper balustrade, where the names of our university students and teachers who fought during the Great Patriotic War are inscribed. Each candle symbolized not only the grief for the victims of the siege but also the resilience, courage, and indomitable spirit of the people who made Leningrad endure.
