The Leningrad Air Defense Veterans Organization came up with the idea of installing this monument. Its authors are architect Matveev and sculptor Smorgon.

The architects created a complex composition, combining the color scheme of the building's firewall, a memorial plaque on the house, the figure of a woman blockade at a height of 14 meters and color spotlight. The result is a monument in the sgraffito technique: a bronze female figure, architectural structures and artistic lighting.

The monument looks most impressive at night, when the spotlight pulls out a lonely figure from the darkness under the roof of the building.
