The troops of Nazi Germany took the Soviet city of Leningrad into a blockade for 872 days - from September 8, 1941 to January 27, 1944. Residents of the city and soldiers fought sparing no effort. The military losses during the defense and liberation of the city amounted to about half a million people, over 600 thousand Leningraders died of hunger. Today, it is simply impossible to look at photographs of that time without shuddering. It is difficult to imagine how people were able to survive this terrible time.
