This linden tree is still alive today and blooms every spring... The news of the attack of Nazi Germany in Tyumen came in the afternoon of June 22, 1941. On the former Market square (now Central), a rally was held, which was attended by 20 thousand people, or 2/3 of the city's population, among all, were soldiers of the First World War, wearing the Royal George crosses, grey-bearded grandfathers shouted: "Guys, we will fight!" Andrey Lazarevich was already 47 years old and soon the brave, strong father, who was always a hero in the eyes of children, went to the front. 47 years for a soldier is a considerable age, but Andrey Lazarevich was a hardy, strong, excellent shooter, besides, he had already fought "with the German". He comforted the family by telling them how once, on the front of the First World War, a large shell hit the ground very close... and it didn't break. The case was extremely rare, everyone believed that Andrey Lazarevich was born under the lucky star, that fate would save him that time. Fate saved Andrey Lazarevich both in 1914 and in 1930, allowing him to leave his seed on the ground.
