Totleben (Russian Тотлебен) is a Russian artificial island about one kilometre long in the shape of a recumbent "C" with an area of 4.8 ha, and a former fort in the Baltic Sea off Saint Petersburg; the fortification consists of three front sections and two short flanking sections. A continuous road between the command posts, casemates and the harbour connects the quarters for about 700 people.
