The basic problem with this monograph, which examines the conflicts between the expression of personal experience versus the demands of myth-making in the Soviet state, is that with a publication date of 2006 this book already feels a bit dated. At the very least the imperative to see that "no one is forgotten and nothing is forgotten" seems to have, sadly, degenerated into the aggrandizement of all the periods of state predominance in the Russian past under the Putin regime; further pushing back the need to settle accounts with the crimes of the Stalinist era. This is not a trivial matter as the lack of a shared understanding of those experiences have probably helped to contribute to the current Russo-Ukrainian conflict.

The siege of Leningrad constituted one of the most dramatic episodes of World War II, one that individuals and the state began to commemorate almost immediately. Official representations of 'heroic Leningrad' omitted and distorted a great deal. Nonetheless, survivors struggling to cope with painful memories often internalized, even if they did not completely accept, the state's myths, and they often found their own uses for the state's monuments. Tracing the overlap and interplay of individual memories and fifty years of Soviet mythmaking, this book contributes to understandings of both the power of Soviet identities and the delegitimizing potential of the Soviet Union's chief legitimizing myths. Because besieged Leningrad blurred the boundaries between the largely male battlefront and the predominantly female home front, it offers a unique vantage point for a study of the gendered dimensions of the war experience, urban space, individual memory, and public commemoration.
