Hundreds of Petersburgers gathered in the Field of Mars park, to commemorate the 72nd anniversary of the end of the Siege of Leningrad, Wednesday.
The Siege of Leningrad started on September 8, 1941 and continued for 872 days until January 27, 1944 when Soviet forces managed to open a narrow corridor into the city and force the Nazi forces into retreat.
More than one million civilians were killed altogether, with at least 360,000 people dying of starvation and extremely cold temperatures during the first four months.
