  2. My two aunts Anna and Maria Tarasevich died in besieged Leningrad from cold and hunger. Anna died in March 1942 at the age of 30. She was buried at the Piskarevsky Memorial Cemetery, entry in the book of memory of the Siege of Leningrad, volume 30.

  3. Thank you, Sergey, this is awesome. I wasn't able to be with you on the live stream, and had to catch up. I'm very much affected by your account of the siege. Your encyclopedic knowledge of history, your showing the film, all the details you provided… I am a violinist and violist in symphony orchestras, and am especially moved by your account of the premiere of Дмитриевич Шостакович седьмой симфонический — and how the music inspired the people, who might have given up, but then they persevered… The endurance of the suffering people, never giving up, never surrendering… it's very emotional for me. Thank you so much for providing this for us.
