Unlocked Memories is a collection of memories that were shared by Russians who witnessed the German invasion of the Leningrad region in 1941. All were young during World War Two and each lived under German rule after the Leningrad region was overrun and occupied by the enemy.

In 1941, German and Finnish military forces established a blockade around Leningrad. During the 900 days of the siege, Leningrad was beset with aerial bombings, fuel shortages, and extreme starvation. Svetlana Magayeva, just ten years old in 1941, witnessed these raids and endured the cold and hunger. This is her story.
