Okrugina Olimpiada Vasilievna (worker in the rear) was born on June 1, 1930 in the village of Mukhino in Siberia. The veteran's parents worked on a collective farm. From the radio Olimpiada Vasilievna learned that the war had begun. “The war has become a test for everyone. There is not a single family that has not been affected by this war. During the war, I worked like hundreds of other young guys in the fields. I had to do a lot of work, it was completely different: I threshed bread and sawed wood for a steamer. It was very difficult and I was weak, mostly because there was nothing to eat. We all were starving and there was nothing to wear. I finished my studies only until the middle of the fourth grade, later our teacher died and classes ended. We ate in very small portions. After the war, in 1958 I left for Yakutsk. I married there and gave birth to four children. But I was already raising children alone, because I divorced my husband. When I was fifty, I got married for a second time and we began to live in Engels” -Olimpiada Vasilievna shares memories of her life
