Opis

Michael Jones tells the human story of Leningrad. Drawing on eyewitness accounts and diaries, he shows Leningrad in its every dimension including taboos, long-suppressed by the Soviets, such as looting, criminal gangs and cannibalism, but also the triumph of human spirit as people inspired, comforted and helped each other.
