Blue boards, no d/w. Elena Kozhina was just eight years old when the Germans laid siege to Leningrad in 1941. She, her mother, her grandmother, and her siblings, along with thousands of other Leningraders, were loaded onto transit trains and evacuated to the heart of the Russian steppe. Her brother did not survive the brutal journey, and her sister and grandmother perished soon after. Elena and her mother were deposited in a completely unfamiliar rural landscape, and made to find their way among the Cossack villages and the encroaching German troops. This is an account of life in Leningrad and life among strangers and soldiers.
