75th Anniversary of the Seige of Leningrad

On the 75th anniversary of the Seige of Leningrad by the Nazis, a picture of the Bronze Horseman, an iconic image of the Founder, Peter the Great.

The Statue takes a leading role in my talk about the founding of the City.

The Seige lasted 872 days and left the city devastated.  Many of the population perished.
