I would like to share the story of my great-grandfather Alexei Tikhonovich Bocharov. I would like to tell about his brothers, who became for me a symbol of the Great Victory. My great-grandfather Aleksey Tikhonovich Bocharov was born in 1909 in Ploskoye hamlet, Dvoelucheskaya volost, Timsky district, Kursk province, in a large peasant family. Alexei Tikhonovich had four brothers: Bocharov Yakov Tikhonovich (1903), Bocharov Dmitry Tikhonovich (1905 - died in December 1941), Bocharov Akim Tikhonovich (1907 - died in July 1943), Bocharov Nikolai Tikhonovich (1916 - 1996), mother Bocharova Pelageya Illarionovna.
