About Hare Island

Zayachy Hare Island is an island in the Neva River in St. Petersburg, Russia. It is isolated by the Kronverksky Strait from Petrogradsky Island toward the north, to which it is associated by the Kronverksky and Ioannovsky spans. Zayachy Island was generally swampy, uninhabited, and unremarkable until 1703, when Peter the Great started development of the Peter and Paul fortification there, himself establishing the framework stones. Until the late nineteenth century, there were three channels inside the stronghold, isolating the island into four sections.
The trenches were topped off by the late nineteenth century. The island is depicted as offering pleasant perspectives of the city recorded focus and the Neva River. Zayachy Island is the site of Saints Peter and Paul Cathedral where numerous individuals from the House of Romanov are covered. On July 17, 1998 the remaining parts of Czar Nicholas II and his family were covered there, eighty years to the day after they were executed by the Bolsheviks.
Amid the Red Terror, the island was the site of slaughters of adversaries of the state. Bodies were found amid the ongoing working of a street connecting an auto stop. A few appraisals put the quantity of covered in the hundreds and possibly in the thousands. Human rights philanthropy Memorial is at present attempting to persuade the specialists to explore the graves legitimately.
