Tatyana Nikolayevna Savicheva, commonly referred to as Tanya Savicheva was a Russian child diarist who endured the Siege of Leningrad during World War II.

During the Siege, Savicheva recorded the successive deaths of each member of her family in her diary, with her final entry indicating her belief to be the sole living family member. Although Savicheva was rescued and transferred to a hospital, she succumbed to intestinal tuberculosis in July 1944 at age 14. A memorial plaque on the facade of the building where Tanya Savicheva lived and kept a blockade diary was installed in 2005 upon the project of the St. Petersburg sculptor Viktor Sivakov. It was unveiled on January 27, on the day of the 61^st anniversary of the complete liberation of Leningrad from the fascist blockade. In the lower part of the memorial plaque there is a sheet of the diary reproduced in stone, with the words “Only Tanya is left” engraved therein.

Savicheva’s image and the pages from her diary became symbolic of the human cost of the Siege of Leningrad, and she is remembered in St. Petersburg with a memorial complex on the Green Belt of Glory along the Road of Life. Her diary was used during the Nuremberg Trials as evidence of the Nazis’ crimes.
