When one speaks of the Soviet-Finnish war of 1939-1940, one first of all recalls the political and military events, the preconditions of the war and the battles on the Mannerheim Line. At the same time, the processes that took place on the home front are often left out of the picture. Not much attention is paid to the life of Leningrad and the Leningrad region, which was located very close to the front. What was happening in the region on the eve of the collision between the USSR and Finland and how were the mobilization activities in the autumn of 1939? How did the war affect the city on the Neva and its surroundings? How did industry, transportation, and the medical system work? What did they do for the Red Army and what difficulties did they face? How did the everyday life of Leningraders and residents of the region change? How did they perceive the war and what did they say about it? What lessons did the Leningrad leadership learn from this short "unknown" war? The book attempts to answer these questions.
