Speaking of attacks by airplane - in late 80's I worked for pocket money at Fornosovo railway station for a couple of summers, unloading incoming carts. I did not know that this station was used for training purposes by ShAP from Siverskaya. When I once raised my head towards sky and saw a falling planes at me, I shited my pants... Those were Su-22s or something, and they scared me to death... But two month later I didn't even look at the sky when I heard jet engine sound.

Well, i didn't mean it in a degrading way, it's more in line with the motto we hear from combat veterans "If you find yourself in a fair fight, you messed up"

Oh, that's good to know then. I understood it had to do with the Leningrad siege, but i didn't know it was such small distances from the city. Again, thanks for bringing this to us
