What do we know about the siege of Leningrad? Tanya Savicheva's diary, a metronome, Olga Bergholtz's poems - these are the most vivid associations. How did the tragedy become possible, and why did it happen to only one city during four terrible years of war? In this book, a team of Russian historians turns to previously published archival documents, step by step reconstructing the events that led to the starvation of hundreds of thousands of Leningraders. Supplementing the sources with articles and commentaries, attracting the latest historiography, the compilers of the book show why the plans of the Soviet leadership to supply the city failed, and Leningrad had to spend 872 days in the blockade ring. Historical sources and maps allow us to trace the fate of the infamous 2nd Shock Army, which was led by General Vlasov. Thanks to the published documents and photographs, readers will be able to touch one of the darkest pages of our country's history and hear the "voices" of the people of that time.
