For many years, there was a legend in Leningrad about Mannerheim as a positive figure in World War II – it was believed that he helped Leningrad because, while holding the northern ring of the blockade, he did not shell the city with long-range artillery. In the program “Historical Likbez” on Radio Sputnik, Yegor Yakovlev and Doctor of Historical Sciences Sergei Verigin expose this legend and also talk about the Finnish occupation, the recent recognition by the Karelian court of the actions of the Finnish occupiers as genocide, the role of Mannerheim himself in the implementation of genocide and the “Mannerheim plaque”. #history #digitalhistory #egoryakovlev #mannerheim #blockade Digital History tours: https://vk.com/egortrip Support the Digital History project: Sponsr — https://sponsr.ru/dhistory/ Boosty — https://boosty.to/d_history Sberbank: 4276-5500-7886-1070 Sberbank MIR: 2202 2068 9507 7811 Donationalerts — https://www.donationalerts.com/r/digh...
