We will start this journey by visiting the museum-reserve "Breakthrough of the Siege of Leningrad", which is a military historical memorial complex. On the territory of the museum there are many exhibits that keep the memory of those heavy battles of 1943, a monument to the T-34 tank, complexes "Nevsky Pyatachok" and "Sinyavskie Heights", an exhibition of military equipment, but the main attraction of the museum is the diorama "Breakthrough of the Siege of Leningrad".
The diorama is an artistic canvas that illustrates the events of 1943, namely Operation Spark, whose aim was to break the blockade. Many historians, artists, designers and even veterans took part in the creation of the canvas, which helped to convey all the tragedy of the situation and heroism of soldiers who were ready to give their lives for the peaceful future of their country. In the museum itself you can see the reconstruction, the breakthrough of the blockade of Leningrad, where each exhibit can even be touched. There is also a showcase with the soldiers' personal belongings, maps of operations and historical photos.
