80 Years Ago: Siege Bread
Siege of Leningrad.
This is the ration card and daily norm of “bread” (200 grams) in October 1941, only a month into the 872-day siege.
Recipe for blockade bread:
*defective rye flour -45%
*presscake -10%
*soy flour-5%
*bran-10%
*cellulose-15%
*wallpaper dust -5%
*malt -10%
The Museum of the History of St. Petersburg has kept about 700 unique children’s drawings that were created during the siege (September 8, 1941 – January 27, 1944). These drawings were recently brought to life using VR animation technologies.
