When it comes to the Soviet-Finnish war of 1939-1940, we first of all remember political and military events, the prerequisites for this war and the battles on the Mannerheim Line. At the same time, processes that took place in the rear are often left out of the picture. Not much attention is paid to the life of Leningrad and the Leningrad region located very close to the front. What happened in the region on the eve of the clash between the USSR and Finland, and how did mobilization events take place in the fall of 1939? How did the war affect the city on the Neva and its surroundings? How did industry, transport, and the system of medical institutions work? What did they do for the Red Army and what difficulties did they face? How has the daily life of Leningraders and residents of the region changed? How did they perceive the war and what did they say about it? What lessons did the Leningrad leadership learn from this short “unfamous” war? The book attempts to answer these questions.
