Leningrad: back then and now (99 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       27 Feb 2009       250923
The Siege of Leningrad, also known as The Leningrad Blockade was a prolonged military operation by the Axis powers to capture Leningrad during World War II. The siege lasted 872 days from 9 September 1941, to 27 January 1944. The Siege of Leningrad was one of the longest and most destructive sieges of major cities in modern history.
The pictures that you are going to see are modern pictures superimposed on the pictures from back then, but the places and angle of view are exactly the same.

A Chinese monk Hua Chi left his trace in life. Every day during 20 years he knelt to do his prayers many times during the day that his footprints remained profoundly ingrained into the wooden soil of the temple.
Just look, it’s amazing. Do you think it’s a fake?
