"City Under Water, 1943" refers to a significant historical event when a portion of St. Petersburg, Russia (then known as Leningrad) was flooded due to German bombardment during World War II. The attack on October 23, 1943, damaged the city's pumping station causing the Neva River to overflow into certain areas of the city, submerging them under water. This event underscores the resilience of the people of Leningrad and their ability to recover and rebuild in the face of adversity.
