Seeing off, the Siege of Leningrad, defenders of the Fatherland, mothers, wives, widows who did not wait for their husbands, the long-awaited Victory and the unhealed pain of memories. Each of the authors searched and found his way to a true story about this cruel ordeal that fell to our grandfathers and great-grandfathers.
