T34 from Liberation of Leningrad

Maybe people have seen this before.

On a tour of Leningrad, flying along the highway out of St Petersburg to the Peterhof Palace, I saw this T34. What was I asked the guide?

Oh! its the first tank which relieved Leningrad in WW2.

Can we stop on the way back - I asked
No its not permitted and we have a schedule to get to the Winter Palace.


So this is the only photo I squeezed off at 60 miles per hour.

Anybody got any more info?

 

It's a KV-85, and is supposedly the first KV-85 produced. I can't say if it was the first tank to "relieve" Leningrad though, but the KV-85 did participate in lifting the siege.
