Samodurov Viktor Ivanovich worked at the Aircraft Plant number 240, in Moscow, had an exemption from active duty. The family was evacuated during the war and they got lost. They had met only in the late 50s. Now his daughter lives in Kazakhstan with her family. _x000D_ On March 7, 1916 (old style) in Moscow, Ivan Mikhailovich Samodurov and his wife Anna Dmitrievna had a daughter, Alexandra. In the same year, her father, Ivan Mikhailovich Samodurov, was taken to 1st World War. It was hard to live in Moscow with five children, and his wife decided to return home to the village of Novo-Krasnoe, Sapozhkovsky District, Ryazan Region. When my father returned from the war, they decided to stay in the village. They worked hard, lived well, my mother often recalled: _x000D_ “All the young people go for a walk in the evening to the outskirts, and the father does not let us, because we start working with the first roosters, and if you do not get enough sleep, you can not work well. " _x000D_ According to the new political strategy, twice kolkhoz had tried to dispossess their property as kulaks, but they never had hired workers, they did everything with their own hands, so this initiative had no support at the village meeting." _x000D_ But this politics had consequences on the fate of my brother. In 1932, when he served in the ranks of the Workers 'and Peasants' Army for a year of military service, a letter came from the village of Novo-Krasnoe to the military unit, in which it was written that the kolkhoz meeting had decided: “...the son of a wealthy, unconscious peasant cannot serve in Workers 'and Peasants' Army". And my brother was expelled, but he dreamed to be a military man. _x000D_ From the first days of the war, he was at the front and was killed at the crossing of the Dnieper. Two more of my brothers went through the roads of war and returned alive with awards.
