Lena Mukhina

Lena Mukhina also Lena Muchina (21 November 1924 – 1991 in Moscow) was a Russian woman, who wrote her experiences as teenage schoolgirl during the Siege of Leningrad in her diary, pouring out her hopes and fears.
On 25 May 1942 the diary ended, probably as she was evacuated. She lived in Moscow until her death in 1991.
An unknown donor handed the dairy to a state archive in 1962; it was discovered there by Sergei Yarov. It has been published in Russia (Сохрани мою печальную историю), Spain (El diario de Lena), Germany (Lenas Tagebuch) and Poland (Dziennik czasu blokady).
