This lino-cut comes from a series of 35 or 40 images made depicting scenes during the Siege of Leningrad by the German Army during the Second World War, from September 1941 to January 1944. Ushin was 14 at the beginning of the Siege and 17 when it ended. The images he made were probably based on drawings made at the time or from his memories. They were used to illustrate a volume of poems by Yuri Voponov with the title 'Metronom'.
