Description
During the besieged Leningrad, L. Panteleev kept a diary. After the war, he selected the most essential material from his notes and published it. These works are of special interest as testimony from an eyewitness and participant in the events described. “In the Besieged City” reflects the hardest period in Leningrad’s life. The writer tries not to miss anything, “to write all the truth about the terrible, bitter, and splendidly uplifting,” which was what life in besieged Leningraders consisted of—to convey the spirit of the great feat that united the residents of the blockaded city. The entries were written during shifts on the roof, in bomb shelters, sometimes on scraps of paper, cigarette packs, and receipts.
“January 1944” is a set of entries from a travel diary that L. Panteleev kept while on a business trip in Leningrad.
