		As the Red Army withdrew behind the Dniepr and Dvina rivers, the Soviet hierarchy turned its attention to moving as much of the region's heavy industry as it could dismantle and pack onto flatcars away from the front line, re-establishing it in more remote areas behind the Urals and in Central Asia.
		With the capture of Smolensk and the advance to the Luga river, Army Groups Centre and North had completed their first major campaign, that is to say get across and hold the 'land bridge' between the Dvina and Dniepr.
		This was done in the hope that the Finnish army, having redressed their country's grievances against the USSR by mounting the Continuation War, would join up with the Wehrmacht and together finish off Leningrad.

		One of the fortifications ran from the mouth of the Luga River to Chudovo, Gatchina, Uritsk, Pulkovo and then through the Neva River.

		The Neva River, the main river flowing into the head of the Gulf, also carries industrial waste from Lake Imantero which is located in the ecologically endangered Montsegorsk District.
		The littoral habitat of the area is, for many reasons, an important natural resource, supporting, for instance, one of the main spawning grounds of the Gulf of Finland's Baltic herring stock and a very important resting ground for hundreds of thousands of birds on their spring migration along the Baltic-White Sea Flyway.
		With the exception of the giant fertilizer factory 'Phosphorite' on the Luga River and the Sosnovyj Bor Nuclear Power Station the coastal zone was hitherto largely undeveloped.
