On May 1, 1942, she went to Gorky for a 6-month special-purpose intelligence-training course and, after completing it, went to the front. She was assigned to the 541 radio division named after B. Khmelnitsky, as a scout-radio operator. Division "OSNAZ" led monitor the activities of enemy aircraft. My grandmother had a difficult task - to intercept and decipher the fascist radio messages. To do this, she had to learn Morse code and master the equipment in a short time. The radio division named after B. Khmelnitsky was "hunted" by the Germans because it was the only one on the entire front. In the winter of 1943, near the city of Leningrad, my grandmother intercepted an encrypted radio message that the Germans were planning to bomb our military hospital in the city of Valdai. For this, she received the Order of the Patriotic war and the Order of Military Glory second grade. My grandmother was on many fronts: the Northwestern front from 06.1941-02.1944, the 1st Belorussian front from 02.1944-11.1944, the first Ukrainian front from 11.1944-09.1945. By their actions, the division's soldiers made an invaluable contribution to the defenсe of the cities of Leningrad, Moscow, the liberation of Minsk, Brest, Warsaw, Prague, the defeat of Nazi Germany and the capture of Berlin! "It is pleasant to remember that on March 31, 1945, in commemoration of the Victory in the battles for the capture of the cities of Ratibor and Biscau, the capital of our Motherland, Moscow, saluted the soldiers of the 1st Ukrainian front, including the soldiers of the 541 radio division "Osnaz".

After the capture of Berlin, a week later, the division was sent to the Czech Republic, and there until December 15, 1945, Czechoslovakia was being liberated. On December 15, 1945, she was discharged home. After going through the entire war, my grandmother was wounded during the bombing in Warsaw and spent 3 months in the hospital. After the war, my grandmother devoted her life to children, working as a math teacher at school № 29 for forty years. I am very proud to have such a grandmother. And I am very sorry that she has had so many trials. Thanks to the Victory won in that war, we now live under a peaceful sky.
