"To remember..." On memorial sites of blockade

The siege of Leningrad during the Great Patriotic War is one of the most difficult periods that the city has ever experienced.

The blockade of Leningrad was established not to force the city to capitulate, but to make it easier to destroy the entire surrounded population. Everyday life in the besieged city turned into daily exploits of the citizens, which eventually formed into a great victory. Heroic struggle in the ring of the blockade and changes in the habitual life of the inhabitants of the city.

We will walk through the streets, embankments, on which mortally hungry people wandered for bread on cards, for water to the hole, to the bookstore! Yes, yes, hungry people read, we will find out which books became the most popular and popular in the terrible hungry days. We went to work in hospitals, on the radio, to the theater: there were performances and music. Komsomol detachments gathered the dead through the streets and took them to morgues, into which the temples of the city were turned. It was also a job that was paid for with a bread card. Blockade Nevsky Prospekt, where Leningrad trams froze in silence, Kazan Cathedral, to which they went with prayers for the intercession of the Mother of God, St. Isaac’s Square, turned into a garden and hotel Astoria, where the Nazis dreamed of celebrating their victory.
