In late January, celebrations in honor of the 75th anniversary of the blockade of Leningrad were celebrated in St. Petersburg. Thousands of eyewitnesses of terrible events gathered in the northern capital of Russia. At the invitation of the representative office of Rossotrudnichestvo in Moldova, Margarita Alekseevna Ivanova, the chairman of the Tiraspol society of survivors of the Siege of Leningrad also visited it.
Students of Tiraspol and Bendery talked with the survivor of the Siege of Leningrad in the office of “The Obnovlenie” Republican party.
In September 1941, when Leningrad was taken into the blockade ring, Margarita Alekseevna was only 4. The events of that time remained forever in her memory. Her father volunteered for the front. In the house he built a stove so that the family could warm up. The woman took pieces of bread.
In the memory of a woman - the sounds of the Leningrad symphony of Shostakovich. The music sounded in every radio receiver and gave Leningraders hope and faith. Mikhail Burla advised every young man to listen to the symphony No. 7, reflecting the enduring power of the spirit of the Russian people.
The feat of the heroes of the Great Patriotic War should be a unifying factor for today's youth. The Supreme Council Deputy Sergei Vasiliev, a graduate of the Leningrad Suvorov College is sure in this. He always remembered his visit to the Piskarevsky cemetery, where the victims of the siege of Leningrad were buried in mass graves.
At the end of the evening they thanked Margarita Alekseevna for the interesting conversation, wishes health and long life to the woman. Totally, 26 participants in the blockade of Leningrad live in Pridnestrovie, 8 of them in the capital.
