	Josph Stalin, Man of the Year 1942 \| Time
		But Willkie’s accomplishment was dimmed by his failure to command the firm support of his party, and the plain fact was that in 1942, a year of war, men of good will had no achievements to match those of men of arms and men of power.
		Only one new resource had Stalin for 1942: the help of the U.S. And, as events were to prove, that was to come late and to be bottlenecked by German attacks on the North Sea route and the Caucasus.
		Sevastopol was lost, the Don basin was nearly lost, the Germans reached the Caucasus.

	Leningrad versus Sevastopol
		Both the citizens of Leningrad and Sevastopol participated in the defence of their cities bravely, producing munitions and anti-tank trenches, thus aiding the local garrisons.
		Keep the siege of Sevastopol on for 300 more days and you will find that the city is in a more desperate situation, probably on the brink of surrender, than Leningrad after 1000 days.
		Therefore I conclude that the siege of Leningrad was a siege unique in history, conducted for the purpose not of forcing a city's surrender, but of wiping that city and its entire population from the face of the earth.
