About the book

During the Second World War, the city of Leningrad fought an epic battle, a battle unprecedented in length and resistance put up by the defenders. The enemy’s objective was to take the city whatever the cost. Furious attacks, repeated attempts to surround the city, and the siege were all intended to break the stubborn resistance and burst into Leningrad. But neither the enemy’s furious pressure nor the cold, nor the hunger, nor the continuous shelling and aerial bombardment could shake the will of its defenders, who had turned the city into an impregnable fortress.

Inside Leningrad, factories worked day and night to produce weapons and everything else necessary for the front, and despite the bombing and shelling, its people did all they could to build up defenses. Each house became a stronghold, and every citizen knew his battle place.

The battle was waged on land, on water, and in the air, under the sweltering heat of summer, in the rains of autumn, and in the long blizzards and frosts of winter. The people suffered incredible hardships, but they built up their strength and finally defeated the enemy who, for nine hundred days, had tried to strangle Leningrad in the ring of blockade.

The defense of Leningrad is an incomparable example of human courage, mass heroism, steadfastness, and selfless patriotism.

Translated from the Russian by Barry Jones Designed by Andrei Razumov

The book was published in 1989 by Progress Publishers.
