Attack on Leningrad, or just Leningrad, is a 2009 war film written and directed by Aleksandr Buravsky, set during the Siege of Leningrad. [1]
In 1941 Nazi Germany invaded the Soviet Union and their troops besieged the city of Leningrad. A group of foreign journalists are flown in for one day, but one of them, Kate Davis ( Mira Sorvino), is presumed dead and misses the flight out. Alone in the city, she is helped by Nina Tsvetkova ( Olga Sutulova), a young and idealist police officer, and together they fight for their own and other people's survival.
