Today marks the anniversary of a pivotal moment in one of history's most tragic and heroic chapters: the breaking of the Siege of Leningrad in 1943. ⭐Duration: 872 days. From September 8, 1941, to January 27, 1944. ⭐Population: Around 3 million civilians and soldiers were trapped at the start. ⭐The Hunger Ration: At its lowest point in November-December 1941, the daily bread ration was just 125 grams. ⭐The Road of Life (Дорога жизни), the only lifeline across the frozen Lake Ladoga, evacuated over 1.4 million civilians and brought in vital supplies. ⭐The Toll: The primary cause of death was starvation and extreme cold over 1 million. ⭐The Unbroken City: Despite everything, Leningrad resisted. Factories kept working, artists created, and a symphony became a symbol of defiance. Today we remember the immense suffering and honour the incredible endurance of Leningrad's defenders and residents. Photos: Аргументы и факты #memorible_date #WW2 🟠RCR | Support | Boost
