"I wanted to write a work about our men, who will become heroes in the battle they are engaged in against the enemy for victory… While working on this new symphony, I thought about the greatness of our people, their heroism, their wonderful humanist ideas, their human values, our superb nature, our humanity, our beauty. […] I dedicate my Seventh Symphony to our battle against fascism, to our inevitable victory over the enemy, and to Leningrad, my hometown."
