Nadezhda Bronnikova
Nadezhda Bronnikova was a talented pianist and the wife of conductor Karl Eliasberg. She is remembered for her remarkable resourcefulness during the Siege of Leningrad, particularly for obtaining a single potato that her family used to create starch for Eliasberg's concert attire, rather than consuming it as food. This act of sacrifice epitomized the spirit of endurance and creativity that characterized the lives of many Soviet citizens during the war, highlighting her role not just as a musician, but as a symbol of resilience in the face of adversity.
