Memoirist?

I would question whether she qualifies as a memoirist. Notice there is already a dedicated listing of 'Women diarists', where she is already featured. Valetude (talk) 15:50, 13 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Dr John Barber, King's College, Cambridge University was the first British historian to draw public attention to the manuscript diary of Lena Mukhina and other primary records about the Siege of Leningrad. A brief extract from Lena Mukhina's diary was subsequently translated into English and aired by BBC Radio 4 on 13 February 1997: DOCUMENT - Six new investigations where the starting-point is a piece of intriguing documentary evidence - No. 2: They Kept Diaries. Julian Putkowski examines a collection of diaries, uncovered by historian Dr John Barber, that shed light on how the people of Leningrad resisted the Wehrmacht's attempts to starve them out.
