The book is dedicated to one of the hardest pages of national history - the siege of Leningrad. Relying on the scalding eyewitness accounts of those terrible days, memories, diaries and letters of the city's residents, the author tells about the transformation of moral norms in Leningrad in the fall of 1941 - spring 1942: the concept of honor, mercy, justice, kinship feelings. The book examines how the blockade survivors lived and what they dreamed of; how moral norms changed in the family, among friends, neighbors and coworkers; what were the rules of conduct and survival in the "mortal time"; how Leningraders treated the weakest and most defenseless people - "dystrophics" and street children. The book Blockade Ethics: Perceptions of Morality in Leningrad 1941-1942 was first published in 2011 and is being reprinted for the fourth time, with a translation published in the UK, Leningrad 1941-42: Morality in a City under Siege (Polity, 2017).
