«Road of life of besieged leningrad for children» download coloring pages

The Siege of Leningrad lasted for 872 days, from September 1941 to January 1944. During this time, the city was cut off from the rest of the world and the citizens were left to fend for themselves. Children were particularly vulnerable, as they had no access to food, medicine, or other basic necessities. Despite the hardships, the children of Leningrad found ways to survive and even thrive.

Many children were sent to the countryside to stay with relatives or to work on collective farms. This allowed them to escape the worst of the siege and to find food and shelter. Others stayed in the city and found ways to survive. They scavenged for food, collected firewood, and even traded goods with the German soldiers.

The children of Leningrad also found ways to keep their spirits up. They organized plays and concerts, and even created their own newspapers. Through these activities, they were able to keep their minds off the horrors of the siege and to stay connected to each other. The resilience of the children of Leningrad is a testament to the strength of the human spirit.
