"It was horrific . The siege of Leningrad (which is the modern day St. Petersburg) lasted almost two and one-half years and cost the lives of an estimated 1,000,000 city residents. It started on Sept. 8, 1941 when German troops completed their hold of the city. As his blitzkrieg rushed towards Moscow, Hitler decided to bypass Leningrad and strangle the city into submission instead of commiting valuable resources to attackt them directly."
