Abstract
Paper describes the history of the All-Union Geological Research Institute (VSEGEI) and its personnel during the Siege of Leningrad. Some institute employees fought on the fronts, others were evacuated from Leningrad and carried out geological surveys in all parts of the country. Those who remained in the besieged city experienced all the horrors of the Siege of Leningrad and participated
in the restoration of the institute and geological activity after lifting the siege.
