Russian women are looking for surviving household items among the ruins after the German bombing of Murmansk city.

In the number and density of bombing inflicted on the city among the Soviet cities, Murmansk is second only to Stalingrad. As a result of the German bombing, three-quarters of the city’s buildings were destroyed.
