I. THAT GLORY FOR CENTURIES BELONGES TO THE MOTHERLAND
(about the 364th Infantry Tosno Red Banner Division)
The 364th Rifle Division was formed in Omsk in August 1941. From November 1941 to March 1942, she fought in the Demyansk region and held a difficult defense in the Starorussky region. In December 1942, the division was sent to the Volkhov Front to help the Leningraders. At the beginning of 1943, as part of the 8th Army, she took part in breaking the siege of Leningrad. Units of the division struck the enemy in the area of the village of Gaitalovo, where a large group of troops of the German 18th Army was located; took part in the battles for the Sinyavin Heights, the possession of which made it possible to control the vast territory of the Shlisselburg-Sinyavin ledge from Lake Ladoga in the north to the Mga River in the south - the most optimal place for breaking the blockade of Leningrad. The capture of a powerful stronghold of the enemy's defense - the Sinyavino station - improved the position of both Leningrad itself and the Soviet troops in the northwestern strategic direction. In June 1943, the division's personnel were awarded the medal "For the Defense of Leningrad."

Many soldiers and commanders of the 364th division were closely connected with Leningrad, since the division included Leningraders, and their families were either in Leningrad or were evacuated to Siberia. Letters sent to Leningrad were always written on behalf of the entire soldier’s collective; they were read by Leningraders and passed on to others by word of mouth. In the summer of 1943, a delegation of Leningrad workers of the Kirov plant came to the Siberians at the front, headed by a Stakhanovite, the mother of two front-line soldiers M.I. Kovaleva. After the meeting at the firing positions, the delegates asked to be given the opportunity to fire at the German positions. The artillerymen loaded their cannons with Leningrad-made shells with the inscription “According to Hitler, death to the German occupiers!”, and the delegates fired a volley “with their own hands.”

II. UNDER THE SLOGAN “EVERYTHING FOR THE FRONT, EVERYTHING FOR VICTORY!”
With the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, many enterprises and institutions, orphanages, and the population were evacuated to the Omsk region. In particular, such large factories as the Tank Plant named after. were evacuated from Leningrad to Omsk. Voroshilov (No. 174), telegraph plant named after. Kozitsky (No. 210), optical-mechanical plant No. 357. Omsk turned into one of the largest defense centers in the country and took second place (after Novosibirsk) in Siberia in terms of industrial production. From the very first days of the war, a movement for the creation of the People's Fund arose in the country defense of the Motherland. The workers of the Omsk region did not remain aloof from this. By the summer of 1944, the population of the region received 238,263,000 rubles, 1 kg 899 g of gold, 63 kg 748 g of silver, 61 g of platinum into the defense fund. In addition, 5 armored trains, 3 bathhouse trains, 5 divisional artillery repair shops, 10 tank repair shops were manufactured and sent to the front at the expense of the workers, and 13,374 pairs of skis were collected from the population. The workers of plant No. 174, at their own expense and on their own, produced 20 T-34 tanks (Sibiryak tank column). From December 1941 to November 1943, 5 special trains (143 wagons) with gifts were sent to the active army, as well as 71 wagons with food for the defenders of Leningrad.

In connection with the war, 32 orphanages and boarding schools - 3,200 children - were evacuated from Leningrad to the Omsk region since 1941. By decision of the State Defense Committee and order of the Council of People's Commissars of the RSFSR dated April 26, 1945 No. 927-r, all Leningrad children's institutions were reevacuated to Leningrad from July 1945. Employees of orphanages and boarding schools successfully coped with the task assigned to them to preserve the lives and health of children. The children returned to Leningrad grown, stronger and quite healthy. All children, separated from their families and parents for 4 years, were surrounded by warm maternal care, attention and received the right upbringing. Thanks to the systematic, conscientious work of educators, children of boarding schools and orphanages were distinguished by high academic performance, deep knowledge and excellent behavior in schools. To improve the material and living conditions of pupils, a subsidiary farm was created at each children's institution on its own. When they left for Leningrad, the children's boarding schools left 263 hectares of grain and garden crops, 42 horses, 97 cows, 45 calves (from the regional Oblast's certificate for 1945) to the local orphanages.

III. OMSK - LENINGRAD
In our city there are many objects associated with the name of Leningrad - streets, a bridge, a square. And although they appeared already in the 1950s, it was during the Great Patriotic War that a close connection between the Siberian Omsk and Leningrad arose. After the blockade, the Victory, many enterprises and Leningraders linked their fate with the city on the Irtysh, which became their second homeland. And for Omsk this connection is inextricable.
