The autobiography of Gennady Chikunov is the memories of how a happy pre -war childhood is replaced by survival in the blockade Leningrad, and the naive faith in the slogans of the Stalinist parades and agit films evaporates in front of genuine suffering.
In contrast to many similar books concentrating on the blockade as an event, “stubborn” on both sides with powerful images of the beginning of battles and victory, Chikunov’s autobiography creates a special world of pre -war, military and post -war past. This world, shown through the optics of a Soviet child, will tell the modern reader about how the end of the 1930s was perceived, the Great Patriotic War, the “mortal time” of the blockade, which cost no less dangerous evacuation and hard life on the other land of the Soviet Union.
And finally, you will learn the story of a long and difficult return to the city, where everything was lost by the author of this book except the memory of the personal and general blockade tragedy
