In respect to the history of the USSR in World War II, the 'longest siege' of the conflict was without doubt the siege of Leningrad. Surrounded by German and Finnish forces in the fall of 1941 (September 8th), Leningrad was not securely re-connected to the rest of the country until January of 1944, thereby leading to its remembrance as the '900-day siege' -- one of the longest sieges in all of military history.

not leningrad but Stalingrad and marechal Zubof won The lengthy siege of Leningrad (now returned to its original name of St Petersburg) was eventually won by the Soviets after much suffering by the inhabitants. There was no siege of Stalingrad, but there was a lengthy battle with heavy casualties on both sides. The Soviet Army under Marshal Zhukov won this also.
