During the 872 days of the Siege of Leningrad, its residents suffered from hunger, cold, and darkness. They found themselves trapped in a city undergoing a horrific transformation. They lost everything except their geographic location, linked to historical, cultural, and personal memory. In her study of siege culture, Polina Barskova shows how Leningraders adapted to an unimaginable urban reality, how they developed new spatial and temporal, ethical, and aesthetic concepts, and how these concepts contributed to the emergence of verbal and visual representations of a familiar place of life that suddenly became a place of death.
