Объяснение:

In Leningrad, the Soviet Union underwent an invasion by Germany and was mobilized to build antitank fortifications along the city’s perimeter in support of the city’s 200,000 Red Army defenders. German blockade siege claimed 650,000 Leningrader lives in 1942 alone, mostly from starvation, exposure, disease, and shelling from distant German artillery. In January 1944 a successful Soviet offensive drove the Germans westward from the city’s outskirts, ending the siege.

The blockade of Leningrad is an example of courage and firmness of its inhabitants. Despite the constant hunger and cold winters, Leningraders sought by all means to preserve its status as a cultural capital. They even found the strength to attend performances and concerts. The most famous musical work, "Leningrad" Symphony No.7, was written by Dmitry Shostakovich and played on August 9, 1942, the day when Hitler planned that the city would fall from the blockade.
