Tangrybergen Samandarov and Jumamurat Ischanov. Tangrybergen Samandarov went to the front in April 1942. He was escorted by the whole family: a pregnant wife and three daughters. Then none of them suspected that the soldier would never see the long-awaited son, would not take him in his arms, would not hold him close to a strong man's shoulder. Leaving his native Dashoguz, Tangrybergen promised to write letters, and sent them until one day the family was informed that their husband and father went missing. His life path broke somewhere near Stalingrad, then fierce battles were fought there. Almost nothing is known about the fate of the Turkmen soldier. The orphaned family, not finding confirmation of the death of Tangrybergen, several times submitted requests to different archives, but the answer was always one: "Nothing is known."
