The story will be about the labor feat of a veteran of labor and a veteran of the Great Patriotic War, Nina Galanova, who turned 91 on the 4th of December, 2019. Nina Ivanovna was born in the village of Rozhdestveno in the Staritsky district of the Kalinin (now Tver) region. The family had seven children. She was the second child. Her parents worked on a collective farm. When Nina finished the 4th grade, mom and dad left her to stay at home with her little brothers and sisters. When the war started Nina was 12 years old. Her father did not have time to come from the Finnish war, as the Great Patriotic War began. He was called up back into the army. And in October 1941 the Germans came to the village of Rozhdestveno. According to Nina Ivanovna, they did not commit atrocities but forced children to work for them: sawing, chopping wood, peeling potatoes. On New year's eve Soviet soldiers liberated the village from the Germans. It was a real gift! Joy! Until 1943 Nina Ivanovna worked in her native village. It was necessary to feed the front: “Everything for the front! Everything for Victory!” Children, old men and women dug, harrowed, planted potatoes and sowed rye. And all by hand — there were no horses, no equipment. In 1943 Nina was sent to the village of Pokrovskoye in the Lukovnikovsky district of the Kalinin region for logging. And again, hard physical, quite unchildish work. They worked and lived half-starved - and so on until the end of the war. The Victory day found Nina Ivanovna in a field that was being harrowed on oxen. There was no radio in the village, the people were called to the meeting by beating the old rail. Great happiness, great joy was experienced at that moment by people who were tired of hard, exhausting work. There were also tears in the eyes of those who lost loved ones. After the war Nina Ivanovna worked on the collective farm of her native village as a foreman. It was necessary to restore the economy and to work hard. In 1953 she got married. She gave birth to four children. From 1955 to 1985 she worked as a milkmaid for 30 years. In 1984 Nina Ivanovna was awarded the “Veteran of labor” medal for the long-term conscientious work. In 1985 she retired but did not stop helping her native collective farm and never refused requests. In 2004 Nina Ivanovna Galanova was issued a certificate of a Veteran of the Great Patriotic War. Wherever Nina Ivanovna was, she was always drawn to her native fields and forests, to her native home. Throughout her long life she carried the love of her small homeland. This love also gave strength to overcome life's difficulties.
