The presented work shows the daily life of besieged Leningrad, the blockade of which lasted 872 days. Letters, diaries and memoirs of Leningraders recreate the picture of life in the city under the blockade: evacuation, the efforts of the authorities and ordinary Leningraders in the fight against hunger and cold, the creation of the Road of Life on the ice of Lake Ladoga in the winter of 1941-1942, the establishment of communication with the "big land" and the heroic attempts of the Red Army and militia to break the blockade, culminating in a powerful offensive and the defeat of German troops near Leningrad in January 1944.
The presented materials reflect the subjective opinion of their authors, who occupied different social positions from ordinary citizens to factory managers and party workers. Despite the fact that in the minds of people events can be distorted in the most incredible way, diaries and letters convey emotions, feelings, moods and the very spirit of the era, and only in them one can find a reliable description of everyday life.
