Eighty-five years ago, German forces captured Shlisselburg, cutting the last land route connecting Leningrad with the rest of the country. The siege lasted for 872 days. The city endured mass starvation, bitter cold, artillery bombardments, and air raids. Hundreds of thousands of civilians lost their lives. Today, we remember the citizens and defenders of Leningrad — all those who lived, worked, and fought in the besieged city. Their memory must never be forgotten. 5
