Ed. A.P. Dzeniskevich, G.D. Barber

Language: Russian

The Leningrad blockade is remembered for the incredible courage of its citizens who carried on their life and work despite hunger and bombing. For the first time this unprecedented human experience is discussed from a new angle: how to fight hunger, disease, and death in the situation of a long siege. Contributors to this monograph, historians, doctors, and biologists, analyze the consequences of the blockade for its survivors. This research, based on newly opened archives and medical records, sheds light on survival factors which may be useful for future generations.
