I remember my mother crying, and Sanya's wife Dunya was also in tears, but the little children were babbling and climbing into Sanya's lap."- grandmother Valya continues the story, and we, who came to meet her, have pictures of farewell before our eyes. - "Our village is small, everyone knows each other, so the trouble was common. Everyone went out into the street, the accordion was playing, the girls were singing songs, but now and then the music was interrupted by lamentations, then mothers, then wives. Someone was saying goodbye in silence, only tears in their eyes. Still, there was hope that the men would return. Meanwhile, the carts were already ready, " continues the story of Valentina Grigorievna."The children were the first to get on the carts. Men in the last minutes have time to stroke the heads of babies, Sanya and I stroked the curly head, hugged tightly. Each person leaving received a blessing from their elderly parents, and...the road was dusty. One letter came from my brother, it has not been preserved, but Valentina Grigoryevna remembers, there were such lines.".. I go into battle, stay alive, write. Sanya" there Were no more letters from Alexander, and in the fall, like in November, a government envelope came, and in it "...Your husband, Panov A. G. died on October 22, 1941 in the battles near Voronezh", as it appears in the certificate of the military enlistment office. Until the end of the war, the family, and the entire village, waited. He'll write, show up, knock on the window... After the victory, there was hope for another year or two, then there was only pain in the heart, and crying eyes. Children of Sani and Duni: Misha and Lisa went to school, they knew about their father that he was missing, like many villagers who left in the first year of the war. Few of the children could boast that they helped their father with the housework, learned something from him - there were many widows and orphans, and one or two who returned from the front. Misha and Lisa grew up without a father, did not know, but loved him, although they could only tell their children about him that he went missing near Voronezh. This is what my granddaughter Tatiana remembered, and using the Internet, found out that Panov A. G. was buried in mass grave No. 2. Voronezh's. My husband's colleagues (he is a military man) from Voronezh found this burial, photographed it and sent it to Tatiana. And so, we have in our hands photos that Dunya, son Mikhail, and only sister Valentina Grigoryevna and daughter Lisa did not see, pressed them to their hearts. There were tears in their eyes, the only thing left of their father and brother. Your memory will last forever. One of the 158 soldiers found by their relatives, grandchildren will find the opportunity to visit the grave of grandfather Alexander, and take their native Sosnovskaya land to the land of Voronezh.
