Historical Memory and Recent Research. Perspectives on the Leningrad Blockade

Summary/Abstract: This article synthesizes recent research produced in Russia and elsewhere, offering various perspectives on the historical event and military siege known as the Leningrad Blockade. We will identify and discuss the principal themes emerging from this recent research and categorize them into two fundamental approaches: the heroic and the accusatory. Furthermore, we will examine the advantages and limitations of these studies, compare their differing viewpoints, and analyze their contributions to the historiographical understanding of this event, as well as to a deeper comprehension of its significance. The article will conclude by comparing the work of two Russian scholars—Nikita Lomagin and Sergey Yarov—whose perspectives are essential for any analysis of the Leningrad Blockade.
