"We can’t take Leningrad!"

In this book, the history of the blockade is mainly told by its direct participants - people who conducted diaries or left memories: someone - for themselves and their children, someone - for a wide range of readers. Each of them went through all the difficulties of life in the besieged city: bombing, artillery shelling, hunger, cold. And each of them, looking into the face of death, worked in the name of victory. Hundreds of thousands of Leningraders and defenders of the city did not survive until the departure of the blockade. Many are buried in unknown graves. But all of them are alive and knowing among the Lord, who is not the god of the dead, but alive. And the work of those living on Earth is to remember and pray for them.
