FROM LENINGRAD TO

HUNGARY

This book is a chronological narrative of the experiences of Evgenii

Moniushko, who lived through and survived the ﬁrst year of the siege of

Leningrad and who served as a junior ofﬁcer in the Red Army during the

last 18 months of war and the ﬁrst year of the Soviet occupation of

Czechoslovakia and Hungary. As such, it provides an intensely human

view of daily army life both in combat and garrison duty, and unique

perspectives on the conditions he and other junior ofﬁcers and common

soldiers endured while in army service.

Evengii D. Moniushko is a native of the city of Leningrad. As a teenager,

Moniushko was evacuated and conscripted into the army, and served as a

lieutenant in a tank destroyer artillery regiment along the Vistula River in

late 1944. Later, he served as an artillery forward observer during the

ﬁghting in Silesia and Czechoslovakia from March through May 1945, and

was demobilized in 1946 while serving in the Southern Group of Forces in

Hungary.
