Leningrad endures nine hundred days of siege, hunger, and resilience in a city at the heart of WWII's eastern front.
Leningrad withstood 872 days under siege, longer than World War II battles like Stalingrad lasted in direct combat.
The city’s meat ration dropped to as little as 125 grams per person per day at peak famine, yet civilians kept working and defending.
A surprising number of children served as trainees and couriers, learning to read maps and fire weapons amid bombardment.
The siege blocked the city’s food imports, yet gray market gardeners secretly grew mushrooms and edible weeds in basements and courtyards.
