Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Leningrad, aka Attack on Leningrad, is a 2009 film directed by Aleksandr Buravsky.It is set during the 1941-44 Siege of Leningrad, namely the first winter when conditions were most horrific. Kate Davis (Mira Sorvino) is a British journalist who, along with her lover and fellow journalist Phillip Parker (Gabriel Byrne), flies into Leningrad for what is supposed to be a one-day tour of the battlefield. The journalist bus is near the front lines when it takes a direct hit from a German bomb. With Kate reported dead, a mournful Phillip goes back to Moscow.But Kate isn't dead! She had lagged behind and wasn't in the bus when it blew up. A concussed Kate staggers around for a while until she is picked up by a truck. She eventually comes into the custody of Nina (Olga Sutulova) a young NKVD cop. Nina informs her superiors, and is shocked to be told that since the NKVD reported Kate dead, she has to stay dead. Nina hides Kate in the apartment of her sister Sonya and Sonya's children Sima and Yura. Together, they endure the terrifying siege, in which the Germans deliberately set out to starve the city to death.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Could Say It, But... | |
| Leningrad / int_2a7b0247 | comment |
Could Say It, But...: An NKVD officer finds Nina and tells her the truth, or rather the facts that Kate didn't mention: Kate is actually a Russian expat who left the country when she was a small child, her father having been a general in the anti-communist White armies. The officer observes that someone may not know who Kate really is and that someone could get in a lot of trouble for harboring Kate. | |

Book Burning: At one point Kate and Sonya find themselves burning books for warmth. Sonya chucks a book by Goethe into the fire and says that they might as well start with the German authors. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
| Leningrad / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: Kate's decision to go back to Leningrad and save Yura resulted in her death in the city in 1943, and Nina died as well. But Kate did save Yura, who is shown in the last scene alive and well in 1965. | |
