He was awarded the medals "for Bravery", "for military merit", the order of the red Star, and the order of the Patriotic war of the second degree for his valor and courage repeatedly shown in battles with the enemy. We learned about my grandfather's exploits from the award lists found on the website "Feat of the people". My grandfather himself, when he returned home after being demobilized in November 1945, did not like to think about the war. He was engaged in peaceful peasant labor, after the war he was the Chairman of the collective farm, and this was very difficult! I have always been an honest, conscientious and responsible person. Despite the difficulties, he never lost heart, was a Jack of all trades, played the accordion perfectly. With his wife Maria Grigorievna, they raised and raised four wonderful children: two sons and two daughters. We, the grandchildren, keep a bright memory of our grandparents. I want our children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and future generations to remember the war, the hardships, the life and exploits of their great-grandfathers, to be worthy of them and protect the world.
