The Siege of Leningrad has become a symbol of the endurance of the Soviet people. They were fully surrounded by Nazi forces in 1941 when the city's last road connection was severed. After 872 days of bombings, starvation, and extreme cold, the siege was finally lifted, but up to 1.5 million lives were lost. People trapped in the city had to live off of one pound of bread per day. Can you imagine that?
Can you imagine 27 million of anything? The saying goes that every family in the Soviet Union lost at least one person in WWII, or what's known in Russia as the Great Patriotic War. Some families were completely wiped out. More than 27 million Soviet citizens died, people gave everything to save their homeland. 27 million is a vast, unfathomable number, so we tried to put it into perspective.
