The Rations and Fate of the Civilians at the Siege of Leningrad

The city of Leningrad was under siege for 872 days. As a result, the rations were cut to starvation-levels. Even so, the food almost ran out! Confitions were terrible for the civilians, who suffered horribly. Technically, the siege of Leningrad was a Soviet "victory". However, for the civilians of city of Leningrad, victory came at a huge price, as we will discuss in this video.

History isn’t as boring as some people think, and my goal is to get people talking about it. I also want to dispel the myths and distortions that ruin our perception of the past by asking a simple question - “But is this really the case?”. I have a 2:1 Degree in History and a passion for early 20th Century conflicts (mainly WW2). I’m therefore approaching this like I would an academic essay. Lots of sources, quotes, references and so on. Only the truth will do.

This video is discussing events or concepts that are academic, educational and historical in nature. This video is for informational purposes and was created so we may better understand the past and learn from the mistakes others have made.
