Abstract
There are more than 80000 memorial complexes, monuments and museums dedicated to the Great Patriotic War in Russia. One of the most famous memorial complexes is the Green Belt of Glory. These are unique objects that are a combination of monuments, memorials, parks and alleys located in various cities and towns of the Leningrad region. The relevance of the research is justified by the Instruction of the President of the Russian Federation on the development of a comprehensive modernization of the memorial and landscape complex “Green Belt of Glory”. The article examines the current state of the memorial and landscape complexes of the “Green Belt of Glory”. The classification of the tourist infrastructure of memorial complexes and monuments of various levels (federal, regional and local significance) by territorial location, transport accessibility, monument type, and hospitality infrastructure has been performed. The typology of existing tourist infrastructure facilities of memorial complexes and monuments of the “Green Belt of Glory” is structured. Evaluation criteria have been developed and the main characteristics have been proposed for a comprehensive analysis of the existing state of memorial landscape complexes and monuments. A critical assessment of the “Green Belt of Glory” memorial complexes condition carried out and main problems were identified, justifying a number of low indicators of their current state. The main directions for the preservation of cultural and historical memory of memorial and memorial landscape complexes, measures for modernization of facilities of high historical and cultural value, and development of hospitality infrastructure have been identified. Promising areas of work with monuments and memorial complexes have been identified based on the analysis of the results of their criterion assessment.
