Afonina Tatyana Mikhailovna A member of the labor front. Afonina Tatyana Mikhailovna was born on July 22, 1925. When the Great Patriotic War began, she was 16 years old, a young girl Tanya lived in the Gorky region, the Vyksa district, in the village called Solntse. She happened, as they say, to look at the face of the war. Being young girls, they sewed warm clothes for the soldiers of the Russian army, and they also had to dig trenches for the retreating Russian army in the early years of the Great Patriotic War. Once they came under a raid of enemy bombers, she and her friend Katya survived by a miracle. Many people died during that bombing. Since then, my grandmother never was on the front line. Like all women of that time, she forged victory in the rear. They worked in the fields, plowed on the bulls, harrowed and sowed. They grew bread for the front line soldiers. Tatyana Mikhailovna didn’t like talking about her war-scorched youth. In 1947, Tatyana Mikhailovna Kochetkova (her maiden name) was awarded the medal "Our cause is just - we have won" - for her conscientious work in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945. In 1947, she got married, and they had 7 children (4 sons and 3 daughters). For the fact that they were a family with many children, and the parents took care of the children properly, Afonina Tatyana Mikhailovna was awarded the "Medal of Motherhood", II degree, in 1959, and in 1964 she was awarded the Order of Maternal Glory, III degree. In 1962, under the program "Development of Siberia'', she, her husband Afonin Vasily Yakovlevich and their entire large family, moved to the Tyumen region, Sorokinsky district, the Voskresenka village (formerly Olgino). They worked on a cattle farm. Tatyana Mikhailovna was very conscientious about her work. She was awarded some Certificates of Merit for her work, she was also awarded the “Winner of Socialist Competition” badge in 1973, in 1976 she was awarded the “Veteran of Labor” medal. The following medals are also kept in the family archive: “For valiant labor in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the birth of V.I. Lenin”, commemorative medals: 30, 40, 50 years of victory in the Great Patriotic War, as a participant of the labor front.
