Green Belt of Glory

The Green Belt of Glory is divided into the "Greater" and "Lesser" rings. The Greater ring has two lines, one to the north of the city and one to the south. The Lesser ring is separate from the Greater ring and marks the land front of the pocket that formed south of Kotlin Island whose back was to the Gulf of Finland. Together they mark the front lines.^{[citation needed]}

There are over 80 memorials and monuments situated along the rings. The symbolic heart of the belt is in the Monument to the Heroic Defenders of Leningrad in Victory Square. Some of the sites are in poor condition.^{[citation needed]}

The belt remains a gathering point for ceremonies commemorating the war and the siege.^{[citation needed]}
