> And by the way, Putin lost his family in the sack of Leningrad.

To be clear I think you mean the siege of Leningrad. Leningrad was never taken by the Nazis. I recommend 'The 900 Days' as an outstanding history of it.

Yes, OK, siege.

But sack or not, 1.5-2.0 million died, and the area was devastated.
