metadata.value: For the first time, the display of frontline life in the museum space was realized during the war
  years in the framework of military-historical exhibitions that supported the morale of people,
  served as a means of information about the situation at the fronts. The tragic daily life of the
  siege was first presented in the format of an exhibition, and later in the Museum of the Defense
  of Leningrad. The range of topics covered included partisan life, features of organizing urban
  space, and others. As a result of the Leningrad Affair, the topic of defense and siege was tacitly
  banned. During Khrushchev’s “thaw”, the Museum of the History of Leningrad was the first to
  break the silence by undertaking a series of exhibition projects dedicated to the complex topic
  of the siege. Since the late 1980s, the staff of the revived Museum of the Defense of Leningrad
  has organized exhibitions devoted to radio broadcasting in the besieged city, reflection of
  the realities of the siege in painting, graphics, and sculpture, which expanded the content
  coverage of the topic concerning everyday military life. The baton was picked up by other
  historical museums of St. Petersburg, which implemented museum displays dedicated to the
  daily life of a person at the front. This study analyzes the forms of interpretation of the siege
  and frontline everyday life in the space of Leningrad — St. Petersburg historical museums
  in the second half of the 20th century. Particular attention is paid to iconic expositions and
  exhibitions of the period under study: their ideological content and museum objects included
  are considered and key exposition decisions are analyzed. The article is based on a corpus of
  archival materials, sources of museum origin, and materials from periodicals.
