The news of his brother’s disappearance sent Alex into a state of manic activity. He spent the next few days making inquiries to a succession of officials at the Admiralty. They had nothing new to tell him. He asked for permission to travel to Osinovets, so he could speak to Viktor’s fellow drivers and [...]]]></description>

Vera knew it all too well: if hunger is the slow ache that drives a person mad, then cold is its anesthetic. The first weakens the body, and the second deadens the will. Together, they form the perfect instruments of death. One death in particular was on her mind that day.  
She wore [...]]]></description>

Alex stood there for some time, alone on the street corner. Viktor was gone, likely at the station by now, but his words hung in the air. Alex could not shake them.  
His brother’s words cut so keenly because there was a part of Alex – the small, critical voice inside, immune to [...]]]></description>

V iktor sat in silence as the raven crossed over the Builders Bridge and into the Petrograd section. From time to time, he stole a glance at the policeman next to him in the driver’s seat, trying to gauge his intentions. The policeman, for his part, was preoccupied with a windshield that kept fogging [...]]]></description>

A hungry stomach has no ears. Viktor’s father was fond of this saying, and now he had come to understand its meaning. Hunger is a drumbeat. It insists upon itself, pushing away all other senses and desires. It consumes both body and mind. Hunger with no foreseeable end, day upon day, is like a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[November 12
A series of cold, autumn fogs drifted through the city, with bands of snow falling in between. Weather like this chilled a person to the very marrow, but it also provided some merciful relief from the daily bombing. Knowing this, people lingered in the streets and sought out the makeshift stalls that sprang up [...]]]></description>

Elena rose from her chair in the middle of the night to look in on Vasha and add scraps of wood to the burzhuika, the small cast iron stove that was the only source of heat in the apartment. The autumn nights had grown long and increasingly cold. She slept poorly in the best [...]]]></description>

&#8216;Say what you will about the Germans, at least the bastards are consistent,” Viktor said as the morning air raid sirens wailed and the members of his brigade prepared for another long day. 
The Luftwaffe had taken to bombing the city on a precise schedule – two hour-long stints in the morning, one at [...]]]></description>

Marina stopped to read the notice tacked to the news board at her building. It had just been posted and superseded the two notices beneath it:
BY EXPRESS ORDER : STATE DEFENSE COMMITTEE AND D.V.PAVLOV, COMMISSAR OF TRADE
The daily bread ration for registered citizens of Leningrad shall be set at 300g for factory workers and [...]]]></description>

Within the week, Larissa was on a plane to Moscow. It was the first stop on a long journey that would take her to Alma-Ata, a desert city in the far corner of Kazakhstan that was outside the reach of the enemy. All of the major film companies were relocating, along with other vital [...]]]></description>
