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 on the terrace and taking my favorite guitar. what a beautiful summer what a wonderful life is waiting for me. 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 to do it that way through a good note. which

is that this doesn't using methods 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 the sandbags stick down but they left some of the statues like the bronze horseman that is the middle east and even that was also covered with sandbags. so we could recognize our own city in a day the whole city was locked down. this street seventy eight 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 over there by the north pole blood and the first bombs hit house number one hundred night on netsky prospect because the and my dad's factory took that to 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 dead. but he knew my dad well video they had served and the imperial army together he told me . your father's alive don't worry about him it's god's will 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 for 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 word while we were free to take up several times of study trying to ferry the world with the sure pyramid server caviar and crap were on display orders in the woods the shops were always full of good school only due for the food when we pay you one day mum went and we'd sold it 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 again. at least we still have run mom makes for. glad 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. 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 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 fields but given these bottles of syrup they called it was sort of like sweetened water with real cool when you well someone dropped the bottle you threw up out of all for smashed i'm also to the ground and she will

swear this happened i saw it with my own eyes. the people were crawling around trying to make what they could off the ground with the words used to warm. to people feel the fear. in a vampire 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. 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 some. people ate that 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. there's a bill once i went to one ward and said aloud 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 an egg 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 these two have just shot each other oh 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 did my first royal from

a window with arctic air to me gold and this is where the sphinx has can be same. here in my sketch pad which. we have to cover the sphinx as with wooden boards. a sketch about that to me is called the view from the arctic out of the window. today is my birthday today i thought folk 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 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 role 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 serious galileo. leningrad became so clean it was a real joy to see it. in may the tram 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. play .

safe if you need to review the economic ups and downs in the fun at all the months day to london new york sang i and the rest of the life during the case you will be everything we can all take the leap. what is the who is writing it and where is it leading to seeking to bearings we seem to turn to the news to take heat for the medium is the message and this most

by will mean when the planet is now the method for defining collective reality each night if it's not on the news it didn't happen right. when my mom 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. the temperature was still certain 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 she knew she 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 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 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 where 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 the three apartments stairwell you sit 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 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 elliott is issued you of course they let me see her in hospital yeah i went expecting to see her round puffy face which for you but i just saw a skinny were. woman. my mom i wish 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 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 grads besiege of leningrad has been broken by the heroic red army the soldiers have built a railway across our liberated country the vul 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 siege took millions of lives. even now we don't 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 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 you will. we still live. i even want to play my guitar again i just wish the bombing of leningrad would stop. it on the ship 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 sea or it was terrifying and the syrians 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. 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 here the genius cut short by a bomb. exploded at you the germans were shelling the city they knew the location of every tramp stop because i deal with so we had to move them every single day and yes they did out 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 were going to work when the attack started there was no way to escape to do that is different is that the showing. quite far from the buildings around the board and a sun. but that the view there was no cover to hide under the. 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 nineteenth forty four our moment of triumph was. 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 in life greed 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.

in two thousand and seven one of the first things released by wiki leaks was a secret video recording that actually looked like a video showing two american actually clicked up just opening fire of a dozen people in iraq this is going to mean still leaving aside the images of our lives have become normal this is what the sense of isolation lack of empathy look like. we try and experienced in a place that's only disassociate. and by action.

we also have a sense from certain kinds of. i absolutely am frightened of the potential of games desensitize people we know they can because the military uses games. of war it is not so sure that it is killing and killing exacts a penalty of the killer. people for whom. it is defined by the popular media.
