Operation Polyarnaya Zvezda (English - Operation Polar Star) was an operation conceived by the Stavka of the Red Army in early 1943, during the Soviet-German War. Its aim was to follow on the success of Operation Spark, which had created a land connection to Leningrad for the first time since the beginning of the siege. The operation failed due to strong resistance of the spanish volunteers.
