January 27 - Day of the complete liberation of Leningrad from the fascist blockade

The blockade of Leningrad lasted almost 900 days. And on January 27, 1943, the beautiful city on the Neva was completely liberated from the enemy blockade. It was on this day that the Red Army managed to break through the enemy's defenses at its narrowest point and restore land communication between Leningrad and the rest of the country.

And before that date, the second most populous Russian city after Moscow was almost completely cut off from the outside world. Its inhabitants, being in the most difficult conditions, in spite of everything, retained the hope that Leningrad would not surrender to the enemy, continued to believe in Victory. Leningraders showed extraordinary stamina, knowing that the enemy would be defeated sooner or later. The city continued to live, enterprises and institutions worked here. Besieged Leningrad not only survived, but also continued to produce weapons, ammunition, and uniforms for the front. And all this despite hunger, cold, shelling and disease.



Leningrad did not completely turn into a deserted ghost town only thanks to the courage of Soviet soldiers and commanders who did everything possible to free it from the blockade of the Nazis as soon as possible.


On this day, we remember these amazing people, whose feat serves as an example for us and for future generations.

The editorial staff of Voyennoye Obozreniye congratulates the Leningraders who survived the siege years, respected veterans of the Great Patriotic War and all Russians on the occasion of the 79th anniversary of the liberation of the city on the Neva from the fascist blockade.

    Today at home we will remember all the Leningraders who died in our relatives. And all those who defended Leningrad and heroically defended it from the enemy in the blockade.
    In our blockade, 5 people died of starvation, 3 died on the Leningrad front. 3 women, 2 small children and 1 man remained evacuated due to dystrophy due to injury at the front and transfer from service.
    Bright memory to all of them!

    I am happy that I knew those real Leningraders, blockade survivors, some of them were my teachers. Their spirit is alive in the inhabitants of Donetsk and Luhansk lands today. Holy day.

    The author wrote complete nonsense.
    1. 900 days is January 27, 1944 of the year. And the complete lifting of the blockade.
    2. But in the narrowest place, the blockade ring was broken on January 18, 1943.

    Journalists, bloggers, ... ! At least check the dates and their meaning

          There were German Siebels and 12th Italian MAS flotilla on Ladoga. And the Finnish boat "Sisu". But who was fired from the side of Vyborg is very interesting. Help me learn history please

    The blockade of Leningrad continued without a slight 900 days. And January 27 1943 years the beautiful city on the Neva was completely liberated from the enemy blockade.

    Soviet troops completely removed the lasting 872 day fascist blockade of the city on January 27 1944 years.
    These figures and dates are well known and it is not difficult to check the correctness of what is written ... But, probably, the author is too lazy to deal with such nonsense as checking the written for the correctness of dates and events.
    Blessed memory to all who defended Leningrad!
