This book is a unique war diary of Leningrad schoolgirl Tanya Vassoevich, who was among those who survived the most terrible blockade winter of 1941-1942. In January 1942 she buried her 16-year-old brother Vladimir, and in February her mother Ksenia Platonovna. From the very first day of the war until the victorious May 1945, Tanya kept records, which are remarkable also because they contain many color drawings. They turn Tanya's diary into a true work of children's fine art of the Great Patriotic War. Today, this valuable historical document is carefully preserved by her son, Professor Andrei Leonidovich Vassoevich, head of the St. Petersburg Center of the Russian Institute for Strategic Studies, who prefaced the publication of the war diary with an extensive introductory article, where the circumstances of the dramatic family history are placed in the broad historical context of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
The book is intended for a wide range of readers interested in Russian history.
