Talk:Road of Life

Definition is invalid

Road of Life in not only ice automobile road on Ladoga Lake! It's also refered:

• automobile roads and railroad from Finlyandsky Rail Terminal to west Ladoga coast;
• vessel route in summer;
• electric cabels and trunk pipelines on Ladoga Lake bottom for deploing a energy;
• automobile roads and railroad from Kobona to misc. destinations.

So the Road of Life is simply a supply path of sieged Leningrad in 1941—1943!

Please, correct article according ru:Дорога жизни. -- Sergey kudryavtsev (talk) 09:24, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

I have a question. Where did the trucks that maintained the Road of Life come from? I have heard that a lot of them were Ford trucka from America supplied under lend-lease. Is this correct? -- Plerdsus  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Plerdsus (talk • contribs) 06:35, 18 April 2009 (UTC) 

New translation from Russian

Have just translated two sections from the Russian version and incorporated them.

Volume of transported goods

The last sentence in this section ("On the 19 November a transport route opened across Lake Ladoga, named 'the Road of Life'. However, three weeks later it was closed, and remained so until the middle of January.") doesn't fit very well with the rest of the paragraph and needs to be rewritten. Does this refer to November 1942? And the reason for closure may be relevant. Cheers, Bahudhara (talk) 06:47, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

The winter 1943/44

@Aguayo.morgan: what exactly does the book say? As far as I know, only two instances of the ice road existed: the first in 1941/42, and the second in 1942/43. There was no need to build this thing again in late 1943 as a railroad ( (Q4166767)) already existed for almost a year. Didn’t Salisbury refer to the 1942/43 winter as to “winter of 1943”?

Oops… the account clearly looks to be abandoned. Hopefully nobody here will object against removal of a passage which interpreted the source in a perverse way. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 13:03, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
