I found a reference also for another T-34-76 found in a small lake, it is: http://englishrussia.com/?p=892 . Also,on the same site, there is a link to a re-enactment of the St. Petersburgh seige/battle http://englishrussia.com/?p=1747 . The picture album of this seems like color photos as they would have appeared at the time, very realistic some of them.

I used to visit a website called the PKKA Page, managed by a fellow named Alexei Nikiforov. He used to post for a group of guys who did wreck recovery. One of their T-34's had crew remains inside, and all but one of the rounds. The remains were turnd over to a nearby Russian Army unit for full military honors.

Even if this is old news, it was news to me. Thanks for sharing it.
