Rank: Corporal_x000D_ Branch of troops: Armored and Mechanized troops. _x000D_ My great-grandfather, Innokenty Khrisanfovich Pisarev, from 1941 to 1946 had served in the tank forces in the Far East and was a participant in the Manchurian operation. It is hard to say what time was more hard for the Far Eastern outskirts of Russia either a pre-war protracted conflict, four years of a formal truce or the final month of hostilities in World War II. _x000D_ He had never talked about what happened there on the Japanese front, at that time everyone was proud of the heroes who defeated Germany. The soldiers who defended the Soviet frontiers from saboteurs built defensive structures, lived in trenches for years without uniforms, weapons, food, medicine ... People rotted alive in humid climate and mud. After all, "everything for the front, everything For Victory" was sent to the Western Front ... _x000D_ My grandfather finished the war with the rank of corporal, a Studebaker truck driver. He was awarded the medal "For Victory over Japan". Since the war, his wife and two children ("pre-war", as the great-grandmother said) were waiting for him in the village of Tsagakshino, Chita Region. Grandmother, Buzina Evdokia Petrovna, during the war worked at a school, taught local and evacuated children, for which she was awarded the title of "Veteran of the Home Front". _x000D_ And the great-grandfather fell in love with the East for the rest of his life, and two "post-war" children (Tatyana and Anatoly) were born to them in the Amur Region (the settlements Mazanovo and Beloyarovo). _x000D_ In 1957, the family moved to the villageVerkh-Usugli, they built a house. My grandfather worked as a driver at the Studebaker, drove miners, my grandmother was a Head of a kindergarten. Our Innokenty Khrisanfovich passed away after a second heart attack at the age of 49. Great-grandmother outlived her husband by 34 years, (she passed away in 2001). She fulfilled her husband's desire, she went to live in the Amur Region (Svobodny town).
