Summary/Abstract: Flood protection for Leningrad On 19 August 1979, the Soviet newspaper "Izvestia" reported on the front page the decision of the Central Committee of the CPSU and the Council of Ministers of the USSR "On the construction of facilities for the protection of the city of Leningrad from flooding". This decision terminates a decision-making process that has been going on for a long time and implements a potentially vital project for the city from the drafting and preparatory phase.
