Abstract
Evgenii Moniushko, a teenager during the first year of the terrible siege of Leningrad, provides an intensely human, graphic, and unvarnished portrayal of day‐to‐day life in the besieged city. Evgenii describes the twin horrors of constant German bombardment from the air and the ground and the famine that gripped the beleaguered city, focusing on the seemingly mundane measures the population employed to survive. Midst the suffering and privation, Evgenii and his family prevail to exit the city in August 1942 over the ‘road of life’ across the waters of Lake Ladoga.
