The book is dedicated to one of the most difficult pages of Russian history - the blockade of Leningrad. Based on the scorching eyewitness accounts of those terrible days, memoirs, diaries and letters from city residents, the author tells about the transformation of moral norms in Leningrad in the autumn of 1941 - spring 1942: the concept of honor, mercy, justice, kindred feelings. The book examines how the blockade survivors lived and what they dreamed about; how moral norms changed in the family, among friends, neighbors and colleagues; what were the rules of behavior and survival in the "time of death"; how Leningraders treated the weakest and most defenseless people - "dystrophics" and homeless children. The book "Blockade ethics: ideas about morality in Leningrad 1941-1942." first published in 2011 and reprinted for the fourth time, and its translation was published in the UK - Leningrad 1941–42: Morality in a City under Siege (Polity, 2017).
