Περίληψη:Leningrad under siege (1941-1944) appears to be a privileged context to study the perception of the Enemy by the Soviet people.

It refines our understanding of the effectiveness of the Soviet propaganda, and thus contributes to a broader reflection on the mechanisms of internalization and deconstruction of the official discourse, and its influence on the popular language.
