Illustration 9: The conditions facing the naval and merchant ships of the Murmansk convoys were brutal for much of the year.

As far as the population, evacuations were sometimes well organized and timely, but they often were not. Two of the more tragic examples were at Leningrad in the late summer of 1941 and at Stalingrad in 1942. In both cases, hundreds of thousands of civilians were evacuated, but both cities housed millions of people. During the two-and-a-half-year siege of Leningrad, one million civilians died. At Stalingrad, the number was in the hundreds of thousands. This happened throughout the country on a smaller scale.

It is amazing that despite the loss of most of its most productive and resource-rich areas and the deaths or capture of millions of people, Soviet production increased year by year with the exception of 1945, the war’s last year. Below you will see a table for the main categories of Soviet defense production.
