In 1941 the world’s largest seed bank was housed in St.Petersburg (Leningrad). As Finns and Germans surrounded the city forcing mass starvation, scientists refused to eat from the collection, slowly dying of hunger as they maintained 16 rooms of edible plants for the future of mankind.

Now seeds are kept in natural cold, it's much more cheap and convenient. The largest bank is in Norway. We have one in Yakutia.
