The article attempts to present the categories of silence in soundscape of besieged Leningrad. The acoustic environment of besieged Leningrad included sound phenomena typical of the acts of war: air-raid warning sirens, the drone of scout planes and bombers, the whistle of falling bombs, the sound of missile explosions. The silence had an important role in soundscape of the city. The author of this article describes perceptual, semantic and axiotic aspects of silence. The besieged city experienced by the sense of hearing in the literary witness of Olga Bergholz (Дневники) and Lydia Ginzburg (Записки блокадного человека) becomes a concrete reality.
