My trip to Leningrad

Nice foto, Nick!
I hope you enjoyed Russia.

During the Siege of Leningrad were defined areas and streets, where the risk of becoming a victim of enemy artillery was the largest. In such places, placed a special warning signs:

"Citizens!
This side of the street is most dangerous when artillery shelling!"

Just below is a marble plaque with a brief explanation:

"In memory of the heroism and courage inhabitants of Leningrad during the 900-day siege, this inscription is preserved here"

Look at the STOP traffic sign over the men´s head. It warns him not to running in the direction of the siege.
