And even now I don't want to remember, it's so scary. It was both cold everywhere and heavy hunger. We baked grass cakes, dried potato peelings, chopped them, made bread out of them. I remember one incident. They showed us films when all the youth of our village gathered. During the next screening of the film, a fascist plane flew over us. Although there was no bombing, we felt so creepy! All rushed in all directions, fell to the ground, holding their heads. We have endured for all this wartime! ”- Nina Petrovna recalls the time of the war.

Even the pre-war years in the veteran's family were tragic: her mother died early, Maria Tikhonovna was only three years old. As soon as the war began, her father was called to the front. The children of the war had to grow up without parental attention and help very quickly: at the age of ten, Maria Tikhonovna had to decide much by herself. “I've worked wherever I have to. At the age of twelve she worked on a tractor trailer, later as a milkmaid. These were very difficult years, not a kid's work at all, but a demand - as from an adult. I had to work hard. There were practically no clothes and shoes ”- Maria Tikhonovna recalls with tears in her eyes.
