Leningrad endures nine hundred days of siege, hunger, and unwavering resilience.
Leningrad's defense included a bakery brigade that fed soldiers with improvised bread from ship biscuit scraps.
The city survived the siege not by large-scale relief, but through a network of underground passages and apartment-level supply routes.
Soviet civilians kept scorekeeping on shells dropped, with surprise reductions in bombardment when streamers allegedly reached a lull.
The siege's true toll is disputed: official Soviet figures undercount civilian deaths by thousands due to war-wearied record-keeping.
