Piskaryovskoe cemetary #2

The epigraph of the cemetary. With iron flowers. It's a tradition after weddings to lay flowers at war memorials. The writing says, "Here lie Leningraders. Men, women, children, soldiers of the Red Army. They defended you, Leningrad, Cradle of the Revolution, etc, etc."

On the square in front of Moskovsky vokzal is a huge sign at the top of a building that says "Gorod-Geroy Leningrad" (meaning, the city collectively is a hero).
