TANYA SAVICHEVA, DIARY OF. One of the most tragic symbols of the Siege of 1941-44, the Diary of Tanya Savicheva was a notebook belonging to a Leningrad schoolgirl named Tatyana Nikolayevna Savicheva (1930-44), who lived at 13 Second Line of Vasilievsky Island. In it, she noted the dates of the deaths of her relatives as they died throughout the Famine from December 1941 to May 1942 (e.g. "Grandma died at 3 p.m. on 25 January 1942"). After her mother died, the girl remained alone and was sent in May 1942 to Orphanage No. 48 in the Smolninsky District. In August 1942, she was evacuated to the Gorky Region, where she died of progressing dystrophy at the Shatki settlement (a monument was erected on her grave in 1972). Tanya Savicheva's diary is kept in the St. Petersburg History Museum, and a photocopy of the diary is displayed at the Piskarevskoye Memorial Cemetery. The text of the diary was also reproduced on the steles of the Flower of Life memorial, which is a part of the Green Belt of Glory.
