Blockade. Reader

872 days (September 8, 1941 - January 27, 1944) Life and Death of Leningrad occupy such a large place in culture and science, in the soul and memory of witnesses and those who inherit them, that the task of telling about the blockade or, as the compiler of the book prefers to denote this task Polina Barskova1, "telling the blockade" seems impossible. Suppressing one of its vasty (even if not to think about the tragedy of what is told) We make an attempt to at least designate - for adolescents to whom our textbook2 is addressed directly, as well as for everyone who is important and interesting, - the types of blockade "stories". The book is divided into four parts - the prose, poetry and diary entries created during the years of blockade, as well as the later memoirs - and includes texts written with different attitudes: in the calculation of publication (i.e., with an eye on the requirements of censorship - ideological and aesthetic) or intended immediately "on the table", i.e. Only for the eye of the author and his immediate environment. Belonging professional writers - and notes of other people, not related to the word of professions, the texts of the young - and completely adults. Some "stories" are given fax, others in an edited set. Memoirs also demonstrate different ways of their existence: the past editing and left "pristine", published earlier and first introduced into everyday life recorded on paper and in audio recordings.
