Some cities live quietly and peacefully for many centuries. Year after year they remain far removed from the tumultuous flow of historical events. Generations come and go, the years pass by, but nothing important, nothing truly earth-shaking ever happens. These cities intrude on no one, and no one intrudes on them. It is as if they hardly existed at all.
But there are cities of quite another kind.
From the very first they seethe and boil without stopping. Their travails are heard around the world. They change with every passing year, and the changes remain indelibly etched on the fate of mankind. Rome was once such a city, Paris is now such a city, and Moscow, the capital and very heart of our country, is such a city. And, history tells us, Leningrad is one of these cities.
