SALUTE OF 27 JANUARY 1944, military ceremony in honour of the Lifting of the Siege; the only salute of the Great Patriotic War of 1941-45 outside Moscow. Fired at 20:00 from the embankment at the St. Peter and Paul Fortress, from the Field of Mars, from the Vasilievsky Island Spit, from the Petrovskaya Embankment, and from Revolyutsii Square. As many as 24 volleys from 324 guns were shot, and were accompanied by fireworks. Preparation for the salute was supervised by Commander of Front Artillery, Lieutenant General G.F. Odintsov. The salute was of exceptional moral importance; it was the symbol of the Lifting of the Siege, depicted in many literary and art works.
