A book and illustration exhibition, "Eternal Memory. The Siege of Leningrad," opened in the reading room (room 217) of the SPbGASU Scientific and Technical Library in honor of Military Glory Day, January 27—the anniversary of the complete liberation of Leningrad from the Nazi siege.

The exhibition features publications dedicated to the stages of the most terrible siege in history, the tactical and offensive operations during the city's defense and relief of the enemy siege, legendary heroes, and selfless home front workers. The exhibition also includes memoirs of outstanding military leaders, reproductions of paintings, and photo albums depicting life in the city on the Neva during the Great Patriotic War.

Particular attention is given to the professional and dedicated work of the students of the IGI/LISI (now SPbGASU) during the years of the siege to camouflage strategically important objects and record the destruction after shelling.

The exhibition features Nikolai Baranov's book "Silhouettes of the Siege." During those years, the author was the city's chief architect and organized camouflage works, surveys of architectural monuments, and, in the post-war years, the entire complex of restoration projects in Leningrad and its suburbs.

Leonid Galperin's story, "From Ladoga to Elbe," recounts the organization and operation of the legendary Road of Life across Lake Ladoga. As a civil engineer, Leonid Galperin worked on the ice route, organized crossings, rescued people and cargo, and participated in breaking the siege.

Valentin Kamensky's watercolor album shows us the days of the siege through the eyes of an artist and architect. Kamensky headed the Leningrad branch of the Union of Architects during the war. Along with his design work, Valentin Aleksandrovich created a series of images of the besieged city. These works by the future chief architect of Leningrad and professor at the Leningrad Institute of Civil Engineering and the St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering serve as a reminder of the trials endured during the war and a call to remember the lessons of history.

The scope of work for each building is determined based on the service life of the utility systems and their technical condition. In winter, work is performed that is independent of the outside temperature and does not affect utilities during the heating season. This includes repairs to electrical and gas supply systems, sewerage systems, fire alarm systems, basements, garbage chutes, and entryways. Renovation of façades and flat roofs will begin once temperatures return to above zero.

Compliance with elevator operating periods is under special control, as this is high-risk equipment that requires regular technical inspections and timely replacement.

Since 2018, elevators in buildings managed by the regional operator have been replaced strictly in the year their 25-year service life expires.
