The Old-Russian-Norwegian offensive operation had been carried out by the troops of the Baltic Front from February 18th, 1944 till March 4th, 1944 liberating the Leningrad Region, the Novgorod Region and part of the Kaliningrad Region and entering Estonia. Over 300 members of military-historic clubs from Kolomna, Nizhny Novgorod, Moscow and Saint Petersburg participated in its reconstruction held in Chernogolovka, the Moscow Region. Check out some photos of the event:

I have read of this operation. It was the largest operation of war ever conducted north of the Arctic Circle. It pushed the German forces south from Murmansk and forced them to retreat south along the Norwegian coast. Of course, they destroyed everything behind them as they retreated. Not so good for the Norwegians.
Haven´t seen a quad-maxim at reenactment before, that´s wicked!
And then came Simo Hayha and killed them all
