🕯 The Siege of Leningrad was one of the darkest moments in human history.

According to recent statistics, at least 1,093,842 people died during the blockade. In 2022, the Saint Petersburg City Court recognised the Siege of Leningrad as an act of genocide against the Soviet people committed by the Nazi Germany and its accomplices.

Against all odds the people faced the hardships with unmatched bravery and unwavering resolve.

One of them — Tanya Savicheva who lost all her family during the Siege, writing a diary about her terrible ordeal. Her image and pages from the diary became one the most tragic symbols of those difficult times.

As thousands of people died of starvation during the Nazi blockade, baker Daniel Kutinen worked around the clock to feed the citizens of Leningrad and died of starvation at his workplace.

In May 1942, the local Dynamo and the Leningrad Metal Plant workers played a football match in the Nazi-besieged Leningrad, which became a symbol of the resilience of the city defenders and showed that nothing can break the will of the Soviet people.

In August 1942, Soviet composer Dmitry Shostakovich’s legendary masterpiece Symphony №7 premiered in Leningrad during the most dire times of the Nazi siege, strengthening the spirit of the people of Leningrad.

✊ The city lived on and did not succumb to the pressure, bombings and starvation.

The Siege was lifted on January 27, 1944, during the Leningrad-Novgorod Offensive of the Red Army.

☝Kiev dealt another blow to freedom of speech, revealing the Nazi essence of its regime.

📍On 4 January, a 82-year-old writer and journalist Yury Chernyshev, who criticized Ukrainian nationalism in his works, was sentenced to 15 years in prison with confiscation of property on a trumped-up charge.

📢 We call on UNESCO to raise its voice in defense of press freedom and to condemn persecution of journalists and dissidents in Ukraine.

#Opinion by Russian MFA Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova

💬 The Telegraph, UK, published a heart-rending story that could well qualify for a Russophobia-of-the-Month prize. It’s about how the Russian Embassy in London had nearly upset the coronation of Charles III in May 2023.

It turns out that an unidentified drone was hovering over the Buckingham Palace during the solemn ceremony. The police, of course, as per modern British tradition to blame the Russians, immediately suspected… the Russian Embassy.

After some time it emerged that the drone had been launched by a certain Walid Marai, 36, a US citizen.

It is not reported whether he was a CIA spy or just wanted to take a photo of Charles III from an unusual angle. What a disappointment! To my mind, this detail would have been of interest for the UK public.

If the #RussiansDidIt version regarding the bogus Russian Embassy involvement had prevailed, Russian diplomats, as usual, would have been expelled. As it is, Walid Marai got off with a £5,000 fine.
