▶️8 September 1941 is when the blockade of Leningrad began. For more than two years, these Soviet people survived the enemy siege. To destroy the city, the German invaders spared neither forces nor weapons: they fired about 150 thousand shells and dropped more than 107 incendiary and high-explosive bombs. For 872 days hungry and exhausted Leningrad residents fought for their homeland. The inhabitants resisted the Nazis and worked for the front – they repaired military equipment and produced weapons. See our video and the film ‘Leningrad Unbreakable’ by Dmitry Khrustalev and Ekaterina Kitaitseva about the heroism of the city’s defenders, both fallen and alive. FOLLOW ?
