The Unconquered: The Role of the Defenders of Leningrad and Moscow in Foiling Operation Barbarossa
Lecture 4. “The Unconquered: The Role of the Defenders of Leningrad and Moscow in Foiling Operation Barbarossa”, from the online course “The Road to Victory”, prepared by HSE University and the BRICS Expert Council-Russia, with the support of the Civil BRICS Council. How did the defenders of Moscow and Leningrad thwart Operation Barbarossa and shatter the myth of the Wehrmacht's invincibility? In the fourth lecture of “The Road to Victory”, we examine the pivotal events of 1941–1942 that marked a turning point in both the Great Patriotic War and the Second World War as a whole. In this lecture: • the Battle of Moscow and Operation Typhoon; • the Red Army's December counteroffensive; • the defense of the Soviet capital and the heroism of Soviet soldiers; • the Siege of Leningrad: 872 days of courage and resistance; • the "Road of Life," hunger, cold, and the struggle for survival; • the heroism of Panfilov's Guardsmen and the legendary words, "Moscow is behind us!"; • the role of culture, music, and art during the war; • the Soviet people's moral victory over Nazism. You will learn why the defense of Moscow and Leningrad marked the beginning of the decisive turning point in the war, how the resilience of ordinary people changed the course of world history, and why the heroism of the defenders remains an enduring symbol of courage and an unbreakable spirit. Watch the lecture to the end to gain a deeper understanding of the history of the Great Patriotic War, the price of Victory, and the importance of national unity in the struggle against Nazism.
