Semyonova Nina Nikolaevna
The flames of war blazed for 1418 days and nights. The victory achieved by the Soviet people was won by the combined efforts of the Armed Forces, the workers' rear, the peasantry and the intelligentsia. For the first time the Nazis were stopped near Moscow, the Nazis for the first time were forced to turn back their main forces. The victory at Moscow opened the beginning of a radical turning point in the war. This victory thwarted Hitler's plan for a "blitzkrieg" and dispelled the myth of the invincible German fascist army. During the war years Moscow was the center of the anti-fascist struggle, the standard of courage, heroism and courage. In the Moscow direction, the invaders rallied their main efforts, trying to capture and destroy the Soviet capital along with its population as soon as possible. The fight against fascism was intense and difficult. The inhabitants of Moscow and the Moscow region did not lose heart, did not bow their heads before a strong and insidious enemy. They rallied closely and bravely endured all ordeals. The home front workers made a huge contribution to the victory of our soldiers near Moscow. Among the rear workers was my grandmother, Nina Nikolaevna Semyonova. During the war, she worked at the Moscow Radio Engineering Plant (MRTZ). In the war years, this plant was called "Patron" and produced large-caliber cartridges for aviation. After a very short time, the grandmother was already working independently at the machines and grinding parts according to drawings. My grandmother did not fight on the fronts of the Great Patriotic War, where the fate of the whole world was decided. She worked selflessly in the rear. The Great Patriotic War was going on, everyone was hard and hungry. For the whole very long working day, my grandmother received only 500 grams of bread. She was one of the best workers in the factory. Her photo was constantly hung on the stand of the best workers. She has many certificates, gratitude and medals for excellent work. She is a Labor Veteran. Full work experience with my grandmother is 48 years. Together with my grandfather, my grandmother raised her daughter - my mother, who inherited from them a conscientious attitude to work. She has a grandson and a granddaughter. And we all love her very much! My grandmother is the best, I love her very much and am proud of her! Today Moscow is an inexhaustible source of inspiration. Its beauty is eternal, like life itself, like the very desire of a person for Peace and Good. And this is part of my grandmother's merit.
