History Lesson

For most of today's schoolchildren, the siege of Leningrad is just one page in a history textbook. This film is not yet another attempt to tell them about the abstract “feat of Leningrad”, but an opportunity to see with their own eyes what is behind the seeming state school course. For example, with the help of computer graphics, so close to the heart of modern youth, the authors of the film demonstrated what St. Petersburg would look like today if the veterans had not survived, if the city had been surrendered to the enemy.
