New Russian feature film "Nevsky Pyatachok".
Nevsky Pyatachok - is the name of the Neva Bridgehead 50 km east south-east of Leningrad and 15 km south of Shlisselburg. It was the site of one of the most critical and costly campaigns during the Siege of Leningrad from September 1941 until May 1943 to reopen land communications with the city during the German siege. The Russian word pyatachok means a five-kopeck coin, or (by way of a metaphor) a very small area.

Brest Fortress is a Russian-Belarusian war film recounting the June 1941 defense of Brest Fortress against invading Wehrmacht forces in the opening stages of Operation Barbarossa, Nazi Germany's invasion of the Soviet Union during World War II.

Igor Rasteryaev - "The Road of Life"
I guess that many will not understand what this song is about. It is about those drivers who brought bread to besieged Leningrad on the ice of Lake Ladoga, under shelling and air raids. On the return flight, children and women were taken out of the starving city. This driver made several hundred flights.
