Kulagina Fruza Arkhipovna-veteran of the Great Patriotic war. She had not been on the front line, did not participated in the battles, but as a young nurse, had experienced the horror of war through the pain and death of wounded soldiers. Fruza Arkhipovna was born on February 18, 1925 in Skachikhino, in Smolensk region of Yartsevsky district. When the Great Patriotic war began, she was 16 years old. In July 1941 the village was occupied by the Germans. They drove civilians, including Kulagin family, into captivity. Exhausted by hunger, suffering from typhoid fever Fruza Arkhipovna's mother, Lukerya Petrovna, died and the children, Fruza and her younger sister Olga were allowed to fall behind the column and bury their mother. Thus the girls escaped from the captivity. They were sheltered by a distant relative who lived on Cardona, deep in the forest in Skachikhino. In 1943, the village was liberated by Soviet troops. The retreating German-fascist troops were followed by a group of punishers who did not spare anyone. Residents of the house, including Froza, hid in the underground, trying to avoid a terrible fate. A week later, when they came out of hiding, they found that the entire farm survived. The fascists passed by. A terrible disease, typhoid, came to the girl instead of the joy of salvation. It was impossible to stay in the village and the young girl was moved to the military hospital № 2929. After recovery Froza remained working in the military hospital as a nurse, caring for the wounded solders and making bandages. She met her future husband, Bezrukov Pyotr Ivanovich, there. He was delivered there with a concussion and a serious wound. After a while, the girl started to work in the kitchen. The hospital relocated to Vilnius in Estonia, where they met the Victory. But the war was not over for Froza. Military operations with Japan began, and the hospital was transferred to the far East. There the girl met Peter Ivanovich again. After the end of the war, Frusa did not return to her native village, because the Nazis burned all the houses and there was no place to live. She left with her husband to Kuzovatovo, Ulyanovsk region. Unfortunately on the train, her suitcase was stolen with her things, including documents and awards. Upon the arrival, her documents were restored, but the name Efrosinya was indicated in the passport instead of Froza – according to official explanations, the name Froza did not exist... Peaceful life began. Fruza Arkhipovna worked in a nursery, first as a laundress for 14 years and then as a cook for 13 years. She got the government award for the motherhood - the order of the "mother heroine". Together with her husband, they raised 12 children. Froza Arkhipovna has 22 grandchildren and 24 great-grandchildren. Millions of Soviet soldiers and officers owe their lives to women, like Fruza Arkhipovna. The girls spared neither their strength nor their lives to save the defenders of the Motherland.
