To mark the 80th anniversary of Leningrad's complete liberation from the Nazi blockade, participants from the Voluntary Russian Children's and Youth Military-Patriotic Movement "Youth Army" created a candlelight installation of candles in the shape of the number "900" as a sign of mourning for those who died during the long 900-day blockade.

On the facade of Pavilion No. 58 the newsreel footage of the 324-gun salvo in honor of the liberation of the city, which took place on January 27, 1944, was shown. At the end of the event, the song "Unconquered Leningrad" was played - it is dedicated to the feat of Leningraders who survived the blockade and defended their city.
