saw me in the park it was a sunny day she was too shy to approach me i saw him in the corner of my eye there was some sentimental song playing in my mind i'm trying to remember it now but i can't something sad for some reason maybe it's because i'm leaving the city for the whole summer and won't see him until lot of people were. drawing the picture. nobody expected it to in that way through a good note. whizzed

up a dozen using methods and there were no passenger trains so we walked to lead a grat. we couldn't recognize it though tape was crisscrossed over all the windows all the shop windows were blocked with the sandbags stick down but they left some of the statues like the bronze horseman that is is that even that was also covered with saddle bags.

so we could recognize our own city in a day the whole city was locked in. this streets emptied my last friend left leningrad. at least mom and dad are with me we're not going anywhere we will stay until the end. i know this war will be over soon he said on the radio that it won't be for long. we are a big and strong country. i know it will be over soon i will see him. he will be back and we will be happy. to get over that but bush the beloved and the first bombs hit house number one hundred night on netsky prospect goes though and my dad's factory still like the germans wanted to bomb everything the most costly railway station and the train tracks leading to moscow. they were dropping bombs everywhere there were so many casualties when i heard about it i

rushed to my dad's factory and met my geography teacher the head of the. yeah that us one but you knew my dad well very few they had served in the imperial army together he told me recently your father's alive don't worry about him but yeah so you. told me there was no place to escape to so he just had to carry all those bombay exams but lost their legs or arms more. he somewhere on the front no fighting the fascists he must be really close the germans are already in the outskirts of leningrad and i haven't got a single letter from him how was he is he wounded i still dream about the. three of them when i was a fishmonger next to us on rubenstein street would world war three take up several kinds of stood there trying to ferry the world with the shoe pyramid server

traveler crabber on display what are the words the shops were always full of good rule only do for the moment pay you one day mum went and saw that all the shelves were empty all your. things disappeared like that in a flash. but after that they started the food rationing. this is terrible were threatened with starvation we only have one hundred twenty five grams of bread but soon we'll only have bread crumbs a famine is coming a real one. there hasn't been a single day that i felt full you leave the table still feeling as though you want to eat. mom asks me are you full i say of course i am. because i don't want to upset or. i don't think we can survive we will never eat

properly. at least we still have ron mom makes flat bread from it it's not very filling but at least you feel as though you have something in your stomach for a little while at least. for the dad brought us to rad that it's what's left over from making some flour oil spill they used it to feed it to cattle to run the it was very difficult to chew but mom tried to make it edible. jelly in she boiled it as much as she could even adding charcoal. it was still tred full to eat but there was nothing else so that's what we had. been walking along rubenstein street. we all have russian to appeal to given these bottles of

syrup they called it was sort of like sweetened water with real cool would you well someone dropped the bottle you threw up out of the alpha smashed i'm also to into the ground to a strange sweat as happened i saw it with my own eyes. the people were crawling around trying to lick what they could off the ground with the words used to warm this is what the seeds did to people feel the fear. in the vampire they bombed the diet ski warehouses the fire lasted for a few days it was awful the fire was huge the whole of living grad could see it if it was the main storage place for all the food in the city. so much that the entire

storage facility was leveled to the ground zero people were eating the earth. because it had small traces of sugar in it i tried to eat it as well but i couldn't it was nothing else to eat so many people ate that oh dad brought home some glue were afraid at first but then mom boiled that healing and it turned into jelly ate it with vinegar that's what saved us. i just want to cry cry and cry some more i have such a heavy heart i'm sick of everything. even of life. starvation and famine everywhere and people keep dying sleds carry the dead through the streets from morning to night leningrad population has decreased dramatically almost two million people have already died. i visited our neighbor today her

father died yesterday she was wrapped in a sheet and taken away in a sled. my only destruction now is my books. but we delivered books that the wards had quite often and i would read to the wounded soldiers. eat it up and. there's a bill once i went to one war and said well what should i read which they said anything but nothing about war yet he still but so i decided to read pushkin if getting any get into them at that was a good he writes about a duel and that luckily one of the soldiers said you promised to read nothing about war but these two have just shot each other up well that was quite awkward. and the hospital today i wanted soldier told me that if you had died they would have told me by now. neither food nor letters can get through this siege just be

sure to survive i will wait for you i have all your pictures my most treasured possessions. in the sky did my first royal from a window with arctic air to me go. through bass where the sphinx is going to say i'm. here in my sketchpad woods. we have to cover the sphinx as with wooden boards . a sketch about that to me it's called the view from the arctic out of me window. today is my birthday today i felt full dad brought two small frozen any ends and a hundred grams of raisins his whole ration. mom cooked noodles and mixed oil and bull down eons with. the noodles were lovely and grease. the ne and completely had

the taste of grease the first course was jelly made from. mom brought home one hundred fifty grams of meat today what a pleasure it was to eat just a little meat i tried to make it last as long as i possibly could it was such bliss i just want to eat eat and eat but most importantly we are still all together and ana my mom dad and me. another spring in leningrad i used to love it and now i hate it so much it brings no love anymore only death. starlit nights just look like a mass grave. another summer without you. for a whole year i haven't received a single letter from you. i know you cannot be alive anymore i will never be happy again. this spring is my last.

in april all the people of leningrad went out to clean the city streets we were expecting an epidemic because the dead were everywhere and there was a roll sewage flowing past houses because the sewage system was not working. so we told everybody to go out and clean up the city and everybody did. that even those who could barely hold a tool in their hands went out to break up the ice is the gullible you. need. leningrad became so clean it was a real joy to see it. in may the trans started working again.

i will never forget this day i can't believe dad is gone. news of his death was too sad and. even today this morning we talked about him thinking he was alive remembering different things about him. we were happy that he looked relatively well. it turned out though that by then he was already gone. i cannot believe he's gone it can't be how i wanted to be a mistake it's hard it's terrible we didn't even say goodbye. a few days ago i broke my mare into pieces i was waiting for a disaster and my fears came true in the most horrible way. i cry all the time. there was nobody with it was buried in a mass grave. wealthy

my mum was very ill. and no one day dad said we were not going to the bomb shelter. that night there was incredibly heavy bombing. it was a direct hit on that very shelter and everyone was buried underneath here nobody survived more than. a few people were too exhausted even to remove the rubble and it was so cold that the temperature was still certain degrees below zero. and it didn't get any better but if you read bill maher the entire month of january february and march it was so cold thirty to forty degrees below should we could never even at the fire go out water would freeze instantly. we took the sleds over to but couldn't

prospect we put little buckets on to the slats that there was a hole in the ice close to the riverbank. although sometimes we went there to get water. it was easy to lose the buckets when we climbed back up the embankment but i q the water would splash over the rim of the buckets will be any pulling though sleds was very difficult because the ground was completely frozen yellow. but still we kept going and taking those two buckets back home now we drank that water and use it to wash there was nowhere else to get it and. the bombing is not as bad as the starvation and. i'm sold then. starvation has caused mom stomach to swell she's in the hospital. i will not

see her again. the doctors say she won't survive. my dear mom i can't leave you i don't want to live without you i'm all alone. mommy. childless i spent new year's eve of nine hundred forty three alone it was very difficult. we had three separate apartments joined by a long corridor but all of them were empty because everyone had been evacuated so i was alone in three apartments. with all boards e.l.o. as it was dark because we had no electricity. no electricity no water. there was no heat. and we had no firewood either yet wolf. the worst has happened i am sick i can't stand up and i'm freezing they're breaking up wooden

houses and leningrad outside it is thirty degrees below inside it's only minus ten . water freezes indoors every day go by tram to the demolished houses i just have the energy to carry a single small plank i'm not using the firewood just in case mom suddenly comes back. that any additional user was there let me see her in hospital yes. i went expecting to see her round puffy face. for you but i just saw a skinny woman in the my mom was my dear mom that she looked so thin like there. i'm so happy i have recovered i've been back on my feet for two days when i saw myself in the mirror i was scared i saw a completely unfamiliar old and skeletal face i now look at least thirty but that

doesn't matter even if i do look like a skeleton the most important thing is i'm not sick. comrades people of letting grabs this siege of leningrad has been broken by the heroic red army the soldiers have built a railway across our liberated country devolved astray as the railway workers will be arriving today with the first train from the heartland. january seventeenth one thousand nine hundred forty three the focus of the day the siege finally ended when we heard the noise from our soldiers guns we were so happy . the siege took millions of lives. even now we know exactly how many.

when the blockade was over people started sending in food from all over the country . i'm feeling better now i go to the alexander nevsky ministry to pick grass my make soup with it it's a pity there are no nettles in leningrad they're quite tasty we have. now the only thing that upsets me still is the bombing it's more frequent now. will we stay alive. i even want to play my guitar again i just wish the bombing of leningrad would stop. it but on the ship i was really scared by the air raid sirens isn't it that they were lots of them but each of the anti aircraft guns fired planes were flying and there was a loud who are all over the sea or it was terrifying and the sirens carried on and

one after the other i have no idea how our soldiers and officers cope with all that . when the bombing is over a look to the sky i don't know if god does exist but i feel he's up there so. they say he doesn't exist but if you do please let my love come back down here to. look why i spent most of the seats on the rooftops. bus one like nobody told us to do that. but they were always dropping fire bombs though so we had no choice but to get out there to save our hosts fergus were going. mom says i'm crying in my sleep i said that i was scared of the bombing. i saw him in a dream wounded and then dead i saw his pale face and his blue eyes looking at me his

lips were white he's begging help me save me i'm waiting for him the genius cut short by a bomb. didn't you go to the germans were shelling the city that way you see us they knew the location of every tram stop because i deal with so we had to move them every single day and use the well that all day in the last battle and you know they were firing at the. stops the people who are going to work when the attack started there was no way to escape it i just it was that the showing was quite far from the buildings around in the border and a sun. but that the view there was no cover to hide under. so there were plenty of casualties. they were firing at with thirty homes it was just. trying to target crowded places schools and. they did that quite a long time. from leningrad today is the twenty seventh of

january nineteen forty four our moment of triumph as a. pray the blockade is over we one we have survived i want to cry to cry of joy. mama survive two i miss my dad so much my dear dad we are alive greeted is to feel like i think and. today there will be fireworks people are exhausted but they will still take to the streets my dear dear diary he's alive he's returned from the front he's lost weight i have not been this happy since before the war for the first time in my life i want to cry because i am so happy. we will walk along the river spring will come to leningrad again. now i know that

is the one that i want to go with them once again it's the fear of french. women are definitely a target of the gun lobby you don't kill them when you killing money but if somebody would you would describe her. i'm noticing more and more and that's really scary marketing tactics which implies that women have some sort of moral obligation to tell on guns to protect their family and young girls shoot out here too so we do have a pink or. more kids young kids choke on food than are killed by firearms if being armed made us safer in america we should be the safest nation on earth were clearly not the safest. exactly what happened there i don't know but a woman killed. years later is when i got arrested for. for
