The Siege of Leningrad was a prolonged military blockade during World War II, lasting from September 1941 to January 1944. The city, now known as Saint Petersburg, was surrounded by German forces, cutting off supplies and food. The residents faced extreme hardships, including starvation and harsh winter conditions, yet they showed remarkable resilience. Despite the dire situation, the people of Leningrad found ways to survive, sharing food and resources. The siege resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands, but the city's spirit remained unbroken. Eventually, the Soviet army broke the blockade, marking a significant turning point in the war against the Nazi forces.
