Produktinformationen "The Diary of Lena Mukhina"
In the spring of 1941 Lena Mukhina was an ordinary teenage girl, worrying about her homework and whether Vova - the boy she liked - liked her. Then, in June, Hitler broke his pact with Stalin and declared war on the Soviet Union. Almost immediately, Leningrad was besieged and Lena and her family had to fight to stay alive; soon, their city was starving and hundreds of thousands of its citizens were dying. From day to dreadful day, Lena records the desperate hunt for food, the bitter cold of the Russian winter and the cruel deaths of those she loved. A truly remarkable account of this most terrible era, The Diary of Lena Mukhina is the vivid first-hand testimony of a courageous young woman struggling simply to survive.'Even at the height of the Leningrad Siege, starving and surrounded by death and destruction, Lena Mukhina somehow continued to keep a diary. Her story, though searing, is inspiration.' Robert Service, author of Stalin: A Biography'Harrowing and philosophical' Daily Telegraph'Lena's diary, sustained by emotional stamina and driven by daily drama, describes one of the worst civilian horrors of modern wartime.'
