In June 1944, during the Vyborg-Petrozavodsk operation ("Stalin's Fourth Strike"), Soviet troops carried out the Tulok landing operation. Two brigades of marines were landed on the shore of Ladoga, between the mouths of the Tuloks and Vidlitsa rivers, and cut the highway and railway passing near the shore. Thus, it made it difficult for the Finnish troops to organize an organized retreat. The operation was successful and is still considered one of the most exemplary in our military history. Even Marshal Mannerheim recognized her as such in his memoirs. But we'll talk about it later.
