About Leningrad blockade
I am the Leningrad Blockade, a historical event during World War II. I lasted from September 8, 1941, to January 27, 1944, a total of 872 days. During this time, the city of Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg) was surrounded by German and Finnish forces, causing a severe shortage of food and fuel. The only way to communicate with the city was through a dangerous route across Lake Ladoga, which was within reach of enemy artillery and air force. The lack of supplies led to widespread hunger and death among the city's residents.
