Moskovsky Victory Park

Victory Park was created as the area redevelopment of the former site of the brick factory soon after the Second World War ended.

During the war, the factory facilities were used to cremate victims of German blockade and bombardments during the Siege of Leningrad.

Several pictures taken by Nazi aerial reconnaissance in one of the harsh winters during the Siege shows that the crematory facility was heavily used as seen by markings on snow-covered area.

The original quarries, trenches and foxholes were preserved and further developed into a system of channels and small ponds.

In the 1950s, construction projects in the park were led by the Soviet architects Yevgeniy Katonin and Valerian Kirhoglani.
