The citizens of St Petersburg (formerly Leningrad) call January 27 “Little Victory Day”. On this day 66 years ago, the Red army lifted one of the longest and toughest sieges in modern history, the Leningrad Blockade.
I saw yesterday an interview between two RT reporters and through it I have learned the shocking information that UNESCO had refused to designat the tragic siege of Leningrad as one of the greatest tragic events of WWII. This is disgusting and truly shocking news. This shame must be undone and the world must know the tragic loss of close to million lives of the women and children in Leningrad. Please post poems and literature about the siege of Leningrad in your website and if possible some in English
