    abstract = {The study is prepared on the basis of documents of the Russian State Archive of Economy and the
Central State Archive of Saint-Petersburg and newspapers of enterprises, operating in occupied Leningrad,
published in large editions. For the first time historiography analyzes the revenue papers. It allows us to
understand the main areas of the receipt of funds into the municipal exchequer. During the Great Patriotic War
the search for new ways of fund raising for war needs played an important role. The study points out that the
main sources of fund raising for war purposes were savings deposits of citizens, deposits with the defense fund
and four state loans and four cash and prize lotteries. Various private and collective deposits with banks and
savings banks played an important role. These deposits being gone into the federal budget were a
significant part of the funds that were spent for the front needs. The inhabitants of Leningrad
transferred 1,175 million rubles or about 1.5% of all-Union deposits into the Union budget of state loans and
cash and prize lotteries. Leningrad citizens transferred 156,453 million rubles that was about 1.7% of all private
investments into the defense fund. Leningrad savings deposits over the war amounted to 480 million rubles.
Moreover, funds to pay for rest leave of inhabitants of Leningrad were also transferred to the Union budget
for war fighting. During the war, this sum amounted to 267 million rubles.}
