well to some level they started when i was about ten years old but at. least 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 lot of people. started drawing the picture making jam nobody expected it to end that way through a good note. which

is that this doesn't exist 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 bronze horseman. is is that even that was also covered with

saddlebags. office so we could recognize our own city in a day the whole city was locked down. the 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. to get away but bush the beloved and the first bombs hit house number one hundred nine on nevsky prospect of those though and my dad's factory still said to the germans wanted to bomb everything they must cost the 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 bed that i want but he knew my dad well video they had served in the imperial army together he told me of your father's alive don't worry about him that's yet to get. 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 of. the 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 easy is he wounded i still dream about the. three of them minto was a fishmonger next to us on the. when she died st while you were free to take up

several kinds of study tank fare three rebels would push your pyramids or travel or crab or on display what are the would if the shops were always full of goods you will only do for the moment that you one day mom went and with so that all the shelves were empty whole. thing would disappear 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 will only have bread crumbs a famine is becoming a real.

again. 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. they used it to feed it to cattle to they 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. been walking along rubenstein

street. we all have russian carts and given these bottles of syrup they called it was sort of like sweetened water would be cool would you well someone dropped the bottle through a pot of the oil for it smashed them also to the ground was strange to all them i swear this happened i saw it with my own eyes lured the people was 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 november 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 here people were. the earth because it had small traces of sugar in it yeah 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. more divisive you can you get but we delivered books that the wards had quite often and i would read to the wounded soldiers. eat it up a little as 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 getting any get into them at that was a good he writes about a duel and that 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. appeared in the sky i did my first royal from a window with being articulate i mean and this is where the sphinx is can be saying and here are my sketchpad words. we had to cover the sphinx as with wooden boards. to a sketch about that but then we had called the view from the arctic out of the 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. the spring is. 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. 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. put it on your home and watch the bank polish face i think you know. a pleasure to have you with us here on t.v. today i'm sure. gentlemen i guess you all mostly. it was good to see you even

a few hundred a day come across it honestly i'm going to miss the faces i'm going to soak up the members of the if we've got people coming in that are littered with criminals we've got people from it who knows where in the world this is the united states i'm very tough by the way you go to sure i was worried that they may not know why they live on mars you know mars. so we pick up things like rand. turbans prayer rugs so when we know they do they're coming from the middle east it's a concentration camp. concentration camp. we've got it hasn't the white house has not even want to disclose the fact that. a stranger.

live. live. live. live live. live. top rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want.

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 nobody survived more than. a few people were too exhausted to even to remove the rubble and it was so cold. the temperature was still certain degrees below zero. and it didn't get any better word of convertible much 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 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 those sleds was very difficult because the ground was completely frozen yellow or not but still we kept going and taking those two buckets back home now we drank that water and use it to wash there was no where else to get it than. the bombing is not as bad. 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. yeah along with what the 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 the three apartments the stairwell you simply were 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 you have all. 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 additional user was there let me see her in hospital yeah but i went expecting to see her round puffy face to itch for you but i just saw a skinny woman in the my mom wish my dear mom is 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 the siege of leningrad has been broken by the heroic red army the soldiers have built a 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 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 ministry 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 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 and the should i was really scared. by the air raid sirens isn't it that will lots of them but each. any aircraft guns fired a planes were flying with them and there was a lot 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 some. 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 rule not the 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. didn't you go to the germans were shelling the city subways yes they knew the location of every tram stop because i deal with so we had to move every single day and use the well that all day in the last battle and you know they were firing at the tram stops at the same people who were 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 gusty need to board and a sauce. but that the view there was no cover to hide under the wall so there were plenty of casualties. they were firing at with thirty homes. trying to target crowded places. they did that quite
