The club commemorate the 77th anniversary of the liberation of Leningrad
On 27th January 1944, Leningrad was completely liberated from the 872 days siege that had encircled the city.
A blank shell from an anti-aircraft gun was fired from the Petrovsky Stadium island, where during the war a unit of anti-aircraft servicemen were stationed to defend the besieged city. Flares and fireworks were also lit over the Neva river to mark the event.
Zenit Football Club thanks all those whose heroism allows us to live in freedom in the best city in the world.
