Siege of Leningrad Anniversary Medals.

[S.ChrisKelly]

This is an interesting web-site which details and documents survivors of the Siege of Leningrad, 1941 -1944.

 

Of particular interest is the story of Ninel Victorovna Krasnolutskaya, [Нинель Викторовна Краснолуцкая], born in 1931.  The site documents the anniversary medals of the Siege, as issued by the Saint Petersburg city authority, the 300th Anniversary of Saint Petersburg Medal, and the post - USSR anniversary medals for veterans of the Great Patriotic War.

For those unfamiliar with post - USSR medals, the medal with the central green stripe flanked by red stripes is the 300th Anniversary of Saint Petersburg, issued by the Russian national government in 2003.
