but dude we does better for you than beer and that's legal dan and they kind of have a point i think there is this is one of those rare instances where a balance position isn't really a good idea while the country could go the libertarian rugged let it be everything be legal let people make their own choices or do what i think would be much much better actually really bad all the things that are destructive to our health both of these paths have positive and negative effects but they are a lot better than our current plan of bands some harmful things for some reason and a lot other harmful things because well they lobby better but that's just my opinion. my dear dear diary i am so happy. this is been the best summer of my life.

i am a student now and i'm going to the village with mom we will have strawberries and see on the terrace i'm taking my favorite guitar. wouldn't suit a full summer what a wonderful life is waiting for me. you bet on. the chinese friends made me a guitar tell them the same is the be so i started playing the seven string guitar i played it quite well he played it well to some level that i started when i was about ten years old. the some 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 autumn. new york people were staying at the

duchess drawing the picture making jam nobody expected it to end that way through a good note.

which is that this doesn't excuse it and there were no passenger trains so we walked to let 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 even that was also covered with sandbags level. 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 read your book beloved and the first bombs hit house number one hundred nine on the ski prospect it goes though in my dad's factory till 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 can. heard about it i rushed to my dad's factory met my geography teacher there to get us through it but he knew my dad well video they had served in the imperial army together when he told me recently your father's alive don't worry about him yet so you. told me there was no place to escape to so they just had to carry all those bombay exams but lost

their legs or arms or just more a little. piece 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 there was a fishmonger next to us on the road when she died street for word while we were free to take up several kinds of study trying to ferry the world with the sure pyramids are virtually every hour crapper on display with your view of what if the shops were always full of goods and rule only do for the moment you one day mom 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 her. i don't think we can survive we will never eat properly again. at least we still have fried 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 run 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. jell in she boiled it as much as she could tell it even adding charcoal. it was still tred full to eat but there was nothing else so that's what we had. been walking along rubinstein street. will have russian to appeal to given these bottles of syrup they called it was sort of like sweetened water with real cool would reveal well someone dropped the bottle you threw up out of all for smashed him also to the ground was free and she will be swabbed 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.

by media in november they bombed the day of 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 at the. 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 mambo that healing and it turned into jelly we ate it with vinegar that's what saved us.

i just want to cry and 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 spa people a shin 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 distraction now is my books. but we delivered books that the wards had quite often and i would read to the wounded soldiers. get it up a little there's

a bell once i went to one ward and said 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 locally one of the soldiers said you promised to read nothing about war 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 sorry i did my first royal from the window with arctic air to me and the bass where the sphinx as can be same. here in my sketch pad which. we had to cover the sphinx as with wooden boards. a sketch about that to me it's

called the view from the article to me window. today is my birthday today i thought 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 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 roll 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. 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. americans also came up with another reason to reach a democracy people wanting to be liberated people wanting to be free you reach is also you know part of the message of a revolution now he said you more than. we need to use. the same service for the same risk for this it push you create the conditions you

say some country has. the weapon of mass destruction. in the case of it's already well established that this was a big lie. right on the scene. first street. and i think that you're. on a reporter's. instrument. to be in the know. i know c.n.n. the m s n b c news have taken some slightly but the fact is i admire their

commitment to cover all sides of the story just in case one of them happens to be accurate. that was funny but it's closer to the truth and might think. it's because one call attention and the mainstream media works side by side the joke is actually on here. and our teenagers we have a different press. because the news of the world just is not this funny i'm not laughing dammit i'm not. you guys stick to the jokes will handle them. when 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 and nobody survived more than. you people were too exhausted to 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 word of the road the muddy 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 that there was a hole in the ice close to the riverbank. although sometimes we went there to get

water here throughout the trip 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 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 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 so then starvation has caused mom stomach to swell she's in the hospital. i will not see her again. to die. her 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. alone with what each of us 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 you simply were boards e.l.o. as it was dark because we had no electricity. no electricity no water. there was no heat at all and we had no firewood either you will for. 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 cause they let me see her in hospital yeah but i went expecting to see her round puffy face which saw you but i just saw a skinny woman in the my mom wish my dear mom 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 drives this siege of leningrad has been broken by the heroic red army the soldiers have built a railway across our liberated country deval destroyers 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 scenes took millions of lives. even now we know exactly how many. was. 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 monastery to pick grass my make soup but 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. will we stay alive. i even want to play my guitar again i just wish the bombing of leningrad would stop. it on the should i was really scared by the air raid sirens isn't it that there were lots of them but each of the anti aircraft guns fired planes were flying with them and there was a lot who are all over the city or it was terrifying and the syrians carried on and one after the young. other than 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 some. day 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 up 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 at you the germans were shelling the city subways yes they knew the location of every tram stop but if i deal with so we had to move them every single day and yes they did argue well that and a number of that'll do they were firing at the trans tops at the people who were going to work when the attack started there was no way to escape to do that if there was that the showing was quite far from the buildings around gusty need to board and a sauce. but that the view there was no cover to hide under the. so there were plenty of casualties. they were firing at maturity homesick forced into. trying to target crowded places. they did that you put quite a long time. from leningrad. today is the twenty seventh of january nineteen forty four our moment of triumph as a. grade the blockade is over we one we have survived

i want to cry to cry with joy. mama survive two 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. know
