made us safer in america we should be the safest nation on earth and we're clearly not the safest. my dear dear. i am so happy. this is been the best summer of my life. i am a student now and i am going to the village with mom we will have strawberries and see on the terrace i'm taking my favorite guitar. what a beautiful summer what a wonderful life is waiting for me. the chinese friends made me a guitar on the stimulus that is so i started playing the seven string guitar i played quite well he played it well to some level that i started when i was about

ten years old. he 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 a lot of people. drawing the picture. nobody expects me 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 sandbags. 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 they 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. yet aware but bush the beloved and the first bombs hit house number one hundred night on the ski prospect of those oh and my dad's factory still there 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 he knew my dad well view they had served in the imperial army together he told me recently your father's alive don't worry about him. 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 or just more little. he's somewhere on the front now 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 there was a fishmonger next to us on rubenstein street for world war three take up several

kinds of study to try and fair re the world with the shoe pyramids or virtually every hour crapper on display what are the use the shops were always full of goods we will only do for the food when we 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 for the rushing. this is terrible were threatened with starvation we only have a hundred and twenty five grams of bread but soon will only have bread crumbs a famine is coming a real one. there hasn't been a single day that i felt full as 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 again 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 ride that it's what's left over from making some flour oil spill they used it to feed it to cattle to. day it was very difficult to chew but mom tried to make it edible. jell in she boiled it as much as she could tell us but even adding charcoal. it was still tred full to eat but there was nothing else so that's what we had. on walking along

rubenstein street. we all have russian carts and we will be 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 into the ground and she will be swabbed as happened i saw it with my own i. lured 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 dive 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 good people were eating the us. 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 we ate it with vinegar that's what saved us. i just want to cry i 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 i would read to the wounded soldiers. used to a little there's a bell once i went to one ward 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 see if gainey any get into them at that was a good he writes about a duel and that one of the soldiers said already 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 seach 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 care of me and this is where the sphinx is can be the same. here in my sketchpad. we have to cover the sphinx as with wooden boards. a sketch about that. we had called the view from the article to 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 all 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. in the 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 raw sewage flowing past houses because the sewage system was not working. so they 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 a little 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 and 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. negotiations continue but that is not stopped the blame game from raging we are told iran in the western powers are on the verge of an agreement regarding to ends nuclear program then the talks stalled into the familiar stalemate the enemies of diplomacy appear to have the upper hand is more the only option left. the interview. cut loose to.

play. play. play. play. play play. play. play. play play. play.

i. we speak your language as anybody will or not be in. the music programs in documentaries and spanish matters to you breaking news it will turn it into angles kittens stories. so you hear. the choice all teach spanish find out more visit actuality on t.v. dog's comb. my mum was very ill. one day your 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. the temperature was still thirty degrees below zero. and it didn't get any better but if you rode the mud 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 sleds 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 i.q.

the water would splash over the rim of the buckets will be any pulling those sleds was very difficult because the ground was completely frozen yellow. but still we kept going and taking those two buckets back home that night we dragged. 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 so then starvation has caused mom's 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. cellists 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 the three apartments the stairwell you sit would have 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 in doors 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 of those issues are was there let me see her in hospital yeah i went expecting to see her round puffy face which for you. i just saw a skinny woman saying. my mama was my dear mom and 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 and then there 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 all railway across our liberated country the volga strains 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 elec center next to monastery to pick grass make

soup with it it's a pity there are no nettles in leningrad they're quite tasty we have bread now the only thing that upsets me still is the bomb it's more frequent now. well we still live. i even want to play my guitar again i just wish the bombing of leningrad would stop. the genocide i was really scared by the air raid sirens isn't it they were lots of them but each of the anti aircraft guns fired planes were flying with them and there was a loud who are all over the city 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 would go. mom says i'm crying in my sleep i said that i was scared of the bomb. 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. exploded it will go to the germans were shelling the city that we use yes

they knew the location of every tram stop but if i deal with so we had to move them every single day and use the well i don't blame them of that all but we do know they were firing at the tram stops at the same people who are going to work when the attack started there was no way to escape it. that is different is that the showing was quite far from the buildings around the board and a sign. but that the view there was no cover to hide under. so there were plenty of casualties. they were firing at majority 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. pray the blockade is over we won we have survived i want to cry to cry of

joy. mama survive to i miss my dad so much my dear dad we are a life read it 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 we will have a long and happy life. i am certain of. you
