Leningrad, cut off from the mainland, received help from all parts of the country. Trains transporting food to the northwestern regions of the country carried posters which read: “You are not alone, Leningrad!” and “We are with you, the city of Lenin!” These trains were given the green light all the way through. Nearly a thousand wagons with food were sent to Leningrad from Stalingrad, Penza, Gorky, and Kuibyshev Regions. The city of Yaroslavl dispatched 33 railway wagons of grape-sugar and 240 tons of cheese. More than 12,000 tons of flour and 760 tons of meat came from Saratov Region.
