Official representations of 'heroic Leningrad' omitted and distorted a great deal. Nonetheless, survivors struggling to cope with painful memories often internalized, even if they did not completely accept, the state's myths, and they often found their own uses for the state's monuments. Tracing the overlap and interplay of individual memories and fifty years of Soviet mythmaking, this book contributes to understandings of both the power of Soviet identities and the delegitimizing potential of the Soviet Union's chief legitimizing myths. Because besieged Leningrad blurred the boundaries between the largely male battlefront and the predominantly female home front, it offers a unique vantage point for a study of the gendered dimensions of the war experience, urban space, individual memory, and public commemoration. 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xCampaigns$zRussia (Federation) 607 $aSaint Petersburg (Russia)$xHistory$ySiege, 1941-1944 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xCampaigns 676 $a940.54/21721 700 $aKirschenbaum$b Lisa A$01681388 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815294903321 996 $aThe legacy of the Siege of Leningrad, 1941-1995$94050770 997 $aUNINA
