Our congratulations to veterans, participants of the Great Patriotic War, defenders of Leningrad, blockade survivors and Leningrad citizens on the 70th anniversary of Leningrad release from fascist blockade!
Blockade of Leningrad became one of the most tragic chapters in the history of our city and country. Leningrad – not broken down and circled by invaders – continued to live, work and fight. We are beholden for the victory to all those who under the continuous cannonade set the Road of life and workers of the home front without the daily work of whom it would be impossible to survive the crucibles and break the blocking circle.
These 900 blockade days were extremely difficult for citizens of Leningrad including the employees and students of Saint Petersburg state university of architecture and civil engineering – defenders of our city. Many of them entered the national levy, and those who stayed in the city participated in creating firing points, defense structures, hiding buildings, monuments of architecture and history, watched the exploitation of buildings. Names of 220 students, professors and employees of the university died from hunger, killed at the front and during evacuation are made an entry into the Memory book which is kept in the museum of history of our University.
Obeisance to front warriors and workers of the home front, blockade livers and children of blockade Leningrad! Wishes of health, happiness and well-being to You and Your relatives! Congratulations on the 70th anniversary of Leningrad blockade release!
