К 75-летию окончания блокады Ленинграда посвящается :
Открытие фотовыставки : « Хроника великой блокады ».
Opening of the photo exhibition «Chronicle of the Great Siege» dedicated to the 75th anniversary of lifting the siege of Leningrad
On January 27, 1944 Leningrad for the first time during the war saluted to the winners. 24 artillery salvos from 324 guns hammered away over the triumphant city. The siege suffocating the city for 872 days – from September 8, 1941 till January 27, 1944 – was over. The Siege of Leningrad is an unparalleled event in the world history. No other large city, especially a metropolis with nearly 3 million people, could stand such a long-lasting siege – over two years and a half. No other city of the world lost so many civilians: children, women, and old people. Unfortunately, even now historians are not able to count the exact number of the siege victims.
