The premiere of a film about the educational process in Leningrad during the blockade took place at Ƶ
27 January

Today marks the 80th anniversary of the complete liberation of Leningrad from the Nazi blockade. Hitler's plans left no future for Leningrad: the German leadership and Hitler personally expressed intentions to level the city to the ground. According to all calculations, it should have been wiped off the face of the earth, and the population should have died of hunger and cold. In total, during the siege of Leningrad, about 150,000 shells were fired and over 107,000 incendiary and high-explosive bombs were dropped. There were more than 2.5 million residents in the blockaded Leningrad, 400,000 of them children. The autumn‑winter of 1941-42 was the most terrible time of the blockade. Thousands died of dystrophy and cold. But the Leningraders continued to work — printing houses, polyclinics, kindergartens worked. Our university also worked, where fuse ampoules, a new antifreeze formula, kerosene substitutes, vitamins, food additives were invented in the special chemical laboratory of the MPVO, antiseptics, frostbite ointments and much more were developed.

On the eve of the 80th anniversary of the complete liberation of Leningrad from the Nazi blockade, the opening of the exposition "Chronicles of the Siege of Leningrad" took place at the solemn celebration of veterans of the Great Patriotic War in the main building of the Ƶ, a meeting of university veterans with Rector Alexei Demidov and university students took place in the concert hall. It was here that the premiere of the film, created by the team of the City Student Press Center of the St. Petersburg State University of Industrial Technologies and Design, took place as part of the documentary and historical cycle #Save Our History of the International media project "Chronicle of Victory: from the Family Archive". The film is dedicated to the educational process in Leningrad during the years of the blockade.

The war made significant changes in the work of Leningrad universities. With the outbreak of the war, thousands of students and teachers went to the front, to build defensive structures, to factories. Although the enemy came close to the city, in September-October, students of many universities began training sessions that did not stop even for a month. Lectures, sessions, exams, diploma and dissertation defenses continued.
