I watched a documentary the other day about the siege of Leningrad during WW2. I found it amusing that they talked on and on about how the Russians in the city stood together, and famished fought off the Germans (or well, rather withstood them). What they never mention in documentaries is the fact that there was widespread cannibalism in Leningrad towards the end of the siege, and that a bunch of people were indeed very fat as it concluded.

Thought it was relevant as that may also be something that is censored. And also cannibalism.
