Vsevolod Vishnevsky (1900-1951) – a Russian and Soviet writer, journalist, screenwriter and playwright – spent the difficult months of autumn and winter of 1941 in Leningrad, the whole of 1942, 1943 and most of 1944 as a political worker of the Navy and a war correspondent for the newspaper Pravda. The writer went through all the trials of the besieged life: fierce winter cold, hunger, loss of close friends, illness dystrophy, through enemy shelling and bombing of the city.
At the beginning of the war, Vishnevsky began to keep his diary. In it, he wrote down all the events in detail, told about the people he met, and described the meager Leningrad rations that were decreasing with each passing day. The main purpose of Vishnevsky’s diaries is to preserve the views of contemporaries for the history of observation, to tell about their mistakes and victories, so that future generations can learn lessons. His diaries are a unique artistic phenomenon and a monument of the Great Patriotic War.
Vishnevsky spent "40 months and 10 days" in besieged Leningrad, as he himself recorded on November 1, 1944. The book includes diary entries made from 2 November 1941 to 31 December 1942.
