The Blockade Book was compiled by prominent Soviet writers Ales Adamovich and Daniil Granin from letters, memoirs, memoirs of the inhabitants of besieged Leningrad, encircled by the blockade during the Second World War. The inhabitants of the city, which became the European image of Russian culture, were left to the mercy of evil fate, to starvation and deprivation, to die under enemy bombs, to fight barbarism. Cut off from the rest of the country for 872 days, they found themselves in inhuman conditions, incompatible with life and daily tempting human dignity.
