Nikolai Dormidontov spent the entire Siege of Leningrad in his native city. His many paintings and drawings tell the story of the epic struggle of the people of Leningrad. The besieged citizens not only fought against the cold and hunger; they also spent entire days and nights in the factories, making ammunitions for the front. The tense tones and dynamic composition reflect the heroism of the citizens, manufacturing a new tank at the Kirov Factory.
