lifting of the blockade of Leningrad in 1944 was a great celebration for the entire population of the Soviet Union.871 day continued the cordon of the city.How many people were killed there?How many lives took a war?These questions are not exactly answer no.One thing is clear: war is no place in the world.
lifting of the blockade of Leningrad, to which Soviet troops were a long time, it was anticipated event.No one suspected that once the capital of Russia will be in strong isolation from civilization, that in this city there will be nothing that will have to eat even pets.Perhaps the besieged city became a symbol of the five-year girl Tanya Savicheva, diaries that show the horror of war.
How many days lasted blockade of Leningrad?It is now 871 days seems to us just two and a half years.And for them, for the blockade of Leningrad, during these days of a lifetime.Lifting of the blockade of Leningrad was 27 January 1944.This day in the city celebrated as a second birthday.
Initially the plans of the German forces was the destruction of Leningrad via shelling.But after the failure of the plan of lightning war, after the brave feats of the Soviet soldiers, the Germans realized that to capture Russia is not easy.
Already in the beginning of September, the first year of World War II, the city surrounded by land.Surrounded it left more than 2.5 million people.Although the lock, residents continued to fight for their homeland.But the ring is still closed.What lasted blockade of Leningrad?It seems like an eternity.It is unclear what would happen to the city if it were not "way of life".How would people live?What they were doing?And all would be lifted the blockade?But people lived, they continued to believe.In such circumstances, we continued to create recognized geniuses of Russian culture, among them Dmitri Shostakovich.His Leningrad Symphony helped people wake up from their slumber of some, she instilled in them hope and faith.It has become a symbol of the city and of the time.It is a measure of courage and heroism of the Soviet people.
Diaries of people who lived during the siege of the city, creating terrible and horrible picture: the corners of the streets lay dead bodies, had a terrible cold and hunger, people were dying one after the other, there was no warm clothes and food.
Already in mid-January, 18 of 1943, the siege of Leningrad was broken by Soviet troops, but still another year the city was in the cordon.All this time has acted "way of life", passing through Lake Ladoga.Finally, a year later - on January 27 - the ring opened and the town was liberated.
lifting of the blockade of Leningrad marked the beginning of the final phase of the Second World bloody war.Soviet troops liberated more towns.But the main goal remained besieged Leningrad.Scary thought, but for the almost 900 days in the city, killing about 900 thousand people, most of them -children.
Modern politicians have to do everything possible to the world of error does not happen again ever.With the development of nuclear weapons, the city will not block, and to destroy completely.And that's why repeat the mistakes of the recent past is forbidden.
