Siege of Leningrad

The blockade of Leningrad is one of the most terrible pages of world military history. In spite of everything, Leningrad was able not only to survive the terrible days of the blockade, but also to save its face, to keep the enemy approaching the city, and not allow him to transfer troops either to Moscow, Stalingrad, or Kursk, thereby ensuring the opportunity to beat the enemy on other fronts.

At the cost of incredible efforts and tragedies, Leningrad did not submit to the enemy. You will learn how people survived in the besieged city, how enterprises worked, how the Leningrad Front was held, how supplies to the city and evacuation of the population were ensured.

The city preserves both memories and scars left after the terrible events of the Siege of Leningrad. 900 days and nights of unprecedented courage and heroism. A living history of an unbroken city. Traces of the blockade in the modern city and monuments of war.
