St Pete to commemorate underage war dead
Russia
On May 6th, St Petersburg will unveil a memorial to the Soviet children who lost their lives in World War II.
There were numerous child casualties on the battlefronts, in the ranks of the anti-Nazi resistance movement, in Nazi death camps and in the 900-day Nazi siege of Leningrad between 1941 and 44.
The memorial stands near the Piskarevo Мemorial Cemetery, where Leningrad buried its siege dead in mass graves.
