Effects of the Siege of Leningrad information


The 872-day siege of Leningrad, Russia, resulted from the failure of the German Army Group North to capture Leningrad in the Eastern Front during World War II. The siege lasted from September 8, 1941, to January 27, 1944, and was one of the longest and most destructive sieges in history, devastating the city of Leningrad.

This sign is located near the western end of Nevsky Prospekt and reads "Citizens! During artillery bombardment this side of the street is especially dangerous". The white plaque reads "In memory of the heroism and courage of the people of Leningrad during the 900-day siege of the city this inscription is preserved". The blue paint is refreshed every year on May 9.
