The presented work shows the daily life of the besieged Leningrad, the blockade of which lasted 872 days. The letters, diaries and memoirs of Leningraders recreate a picture of the life of 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, establishing communication with the "mainland" and the heroic attempts of the Red Army and the militias to break through the blockade, culminating in a powerful offensive and the defeat of the 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 plant managers and party workers. Despite the fact that events can be distorted in the minds of people in the most incredible way, diaries and letters convey emotions, feelings, moods and the very spirit of the era, and only in them can one find a reliable description of everyday life.
