This memorial is dedicated to the memory of the Hanko peninsula defenders. Since June 22, 1941 German air and naval forces attacked a Soviet Navy base, situated on the Hanko peninsula, defended by the battle units of the Red Army. Finland fought on the German side. The defence of Hanko entered the history of the Soviet naval art as an example of heroic and skillful struggle in skerry and insular areas. In honor of the victory the Church of St. Panteleimon was raised. Opposite the church is the house of Zaremba (professor, the director of the Saint Petersburg conservatoire). In 1944-1956 a part of the rented apartment house was restored. The end facade turned into a memorial tablet seen from Fontanka embankment. The bas-relief with marine symbolism, superimposed inscriptions and banners is four storey high. At that same time the plot of the adjacent territory was improved.
