The Usual Leningrad girl Tanya Savicheva has become world famous thanks to its diary, which she led to the 1941 – 1942 during the siege of Leningrad. This book has become one of the main symbols of those terrible events.

Place and date of birth

Tanya Savicheva was Born on 23 January 1930 in a small village called the Yard. This place was near lake Peipsi. Parents brought and raised her in Leningrad, where she spent almost all of his short life. Senior Savicheva themselves came from North of the capital. The girl's mother, Maria Ignatyevna decided to give birth in a remote village due to the fact that there lived her sister, whose husband was a professional doctor. He played the role of midwife and helped to deliver a baby safely.

Tanya Savicheva was the eighth child in his big and happy family. She was the youngest all my brothers and sisters. Three of them died before the birth of a girl in childhood in 1916 the epidemic of scarlet fever. So, Tanya the beginning of the blockade is survived by two older sisters (Nina and Eugene) and brother (Leonid & Mikhail).

Family Savichevs

Father Thani was a Chapman – that is, a former entrepreneur. Even in tsarist times Nikolai Savichev owned bakery, patisserie and even a cinema. When came to power the Bolsheviks, all these enterprises were nationalized. Nicholas Rodionovich has not only lost all of their possessions, but became disenfranchised – it lowered its voting rights as a socially unreliable.

In the 30 years of the family Savichevs even briefly evicted from Leningrad, but soon they were able to return to his hometown. However, Nicholas all these shocks did not survive and died in 1936. His children were not allowed to study at universities or to join the Communist party. Older brothers and sisters worked in various factories and enterprises of Leningrad. One of them – Leonid, was fond of music, which in the house Savichevs had a lot of tools and were constantly cheerful Amateur concerts. Junior Tanya especially confidentially treated his uncle Vasily (brother of father).

The Beginning of the siege

In may 1941, Tanya Savicheva finished 3rd grade. Summer family wanted to go to the village of Dvorischi on vacation. However, on 22 June it became known about the German attack on the Soviet Union. Then all the adults Savicheva decided to stay in Leningrad and to help in the rear of the red army. Men went to the recruiting office, but was refused. My brother Leonid had poor eyesight, and uncle Vasily and Alex came of age. The army was only Michael. After the capture of Pskov by the Germans in July 1941, he became a partisan in the enemy's rear.

Older sister Nina then went to dig trenches near Leningrad, and Eugene began to take the blood needed for transfusions to wounded soldiers. Siege diary of Tanya Savicheva is not telling these details. It is only nine pages fit short notes girls about the death of their loved ones. All details about the fate of family Savichevs became known much later, when the diary of a child has become one of the main symbols of that terrible siege.

Death of Eugenia

The First in the family Savichevs died Eugene. It greatly undermined his health due to regular blood donation at the point of transfusion. In addition, the older sister of Tanya continued to work at the factory. Sometimes she was staying right there to save his strength for the extra shifts. It was the fact that at the end of 1941 in Leningrad stopped all public transport. This was due to the fact that the streets brought huge snowdrifts that there was no one to clean up. To get to work, Eugene had every day to pass on foot a huge distance of several kilometers. Stress and lack of rest has greatly affected her body. 28 Dec 1941 Eugene died at the hands of his sister Nina, who came to visit her after she was found at work. Then siege diary of Tanya Savicheva has replenished with the first entry.

The diary of Tanya Savicheva put in a few notes about the most terrible events for her family. The girl was writing up my notes with a regular colored pencil.

In January 1942, grandma Tanya's maternal Evdokia Grigorievna Fedorova was diagnosed with dystrophy. This sentence has become commonplace in every home, in every apartment and family. In Leningradceased to receive supplies from neighboring areas, and the inner supplies quickly dwindled. In addition, the Germans with air raids in the beginning of the siege destroyed the hangars where they kept the bread. It is therefore not surprising that the old 74-year-old grandmother of Tanya died of exhaustion one of the first. She died on 25 January 1942, just two days after the birthday girl.

Wandering girl

After the death of her mother Tanya was left alone. First she went to the neighbors Nikolaenko, who lived in the same house on the floor above. The father of this family organized the funeral of the mother of Tanya. The girl are unable to attend the ceremony because he was too weak. The next day Tania went to Evdokia Arsenyeva, who was a niece of her grandmother. Leaving home, the girl took the box, which kept different things (including a death certificate relatives, and diary).

The Woman had guardianship over the younger Savicheva. Evdokia worked in a factory and often left the girl home alone. She has suffered from dystrophy caused by malnutrition, which is why even with the coming of spring didn't break up with winter clothes (because I felt constant chills). In June 1942, Tanya found Vasily Krylov – longtime friend of her family. He was able to bring letters from her elder sister Nina, the former in the evacuation.
