Nevsky Pyatachok, an area about 50 kilometers (30 miles) southeast of St. Petersburg, has proved especially fertile ground. As many as 200,000 Soviet soldiers were killed here between September 1941 and May 1943 in fighting to break the Nazi siege of the city, which was then called Leningrad. The remains of 264 were buried Friday. (AP Photo/Dmitri Lovetsky) ORG XMIT: XDL101
