блокада Ленинграда

    The siege of Leningrad was one of the longest and bloodiest battles in all of recorded history. The battle lasted for approximately 987 days (2 years, 4 months, 2 weeks, and 5 days) spanning from September 8th 1941 to January 27th 1943. The then soviet union suffered nearly 3.5 million casualties and starvation driven cannibalism before the siege was lifted.
