Sofia Biryukova (Piskareva) was born on February 15, 1924, in the village of Novo-Tishivoe, Ryazhsky District, Ryazan Region. She was the youngest in the family, the twelfth child. The war began. Young Sofya worked on turf processing, after the completion of these works, they were given certificates that they would no longer be mobilized. But war has its own rules. 50 girls attended nursing courses and then were called up. Sofya went to the front in a freight car in 1942. Sofya was transferred from a tank unit to the 2nd Belorussian Front In 1944. They carried out the wounded from the field, from under bullets and shells. They buried the dead. Tractors did the mass graves of four to five metres in length. Belarus, Poland, crossed the Oder River, and finally in Berlin. "If I live and get married, I'll give birth to as many children as God gives," she thought more than once. Two brothers and four sons-in-law from her large family did not return from the war, and her nephew, who served as a radio operator, was burned in a tank. Sophia came to Berlin and stayed alive. Victory salutes rang out. She returned home at the end of June. After the good, cozy German towns, though touched by the war, she returned to the ruined, impoverished Russian village. Her father and mother had become quite ill by then. She went to work for a collective farm, because the salary of a nurse was small, and the collective farm gave grain for workdays. She met the man in 1946 and he became her husband and father of six children. She didn't have a career. She chose a job so that she could spend more time with her children. The children grew up and became good people. Sofia had ten grandchildren and twelve great-grandchildren. When asked if she was happy, looking back on the years that passed, she replied: "Of course. Happiness is children." Sofia passed away on August 29, 2010, at the age of 86.

01.11.1925 - 06.02.1996 My grandmother, Nina was a home front worker. She came to the village of Yar-Sale back in 1942 at the age of 17. It was a difficult year. On the street every morning people gathered around a pole with a four-cornered loudspeaker, listened to the Sovinformburo reports and silently dispersed. There were fierce battles on the mainland. Everything for the front! Everything to win! My grandmother lived by this law. At the call of the party and the Komsomol, she went from the 8th grade of school to vocational school. They needed cadres to replace those who went to the front. According to the accelerated program, she studied as an assistant motorist and with a certificate of graduation from this school came from Tobolsk to the village of Yar-Sale. She sailed on the boats "Yarsalinets" and "Smidovich". The team was all female. War... Soon she was elected a Secretary of the Komsomol organization. What was her job in those years? For example, our district produced mainly fish, so the task was to give the country as much fish as possible. The motor-fishing station was to provide nets for collective-farm fishermen. But where can they get them? Komsomol members were unwinding old ship's ropes, twisting ropes for nets out of strands, hurting their hands. The vital issue was the preparation of firewood. First of all, they took care of the families of front-line soldiers. THey took sleds and went along the Yumba River. They picked up the branches of trees that grew along the banks. How much of such fuel was required to survive the long Yamal winter is anyone's guess. But they collected enough. Wet, frozen, they had a quick meal of fish and went back to work. Once my grandmother spent three days in the "partridge hut" - riding on deer (to another locality before one could only get on deer in a winter and on kayaks in a summer) in Salekhard and she was caught by Blizzard. What to do? She stuck the sled upright in the snow, a snowdrift immediately drifted around, and hid there. She had food with her. Three days later, the Blizzard ended, and she went on. Needless to say, life was difficult. But there were no moans or complaints. As my grandmother told me about may 1945: "I was walking from the workshop one day. It was overcast. Snow was falling and the wind was blowing. Suddenly I see the first Secretary of the district party Committee running towards me. Shouts: "Victory! I forgot where I was going. Running back to the workshop, I stumble, fall, and to my comrades at the top of my voice: "Victory! It was broadcast on the radio: Victory! " in a matter of minutes, Yar-Salin residents filled the square at the podium, kissing, crying with joy, remembering those who did not live to see this day, went to the front and did not come backn. The rally was held without preparation. This day has remained in my memory forever!” My grandmother may not have participated in the war herself, but she made a huge contribution to helping the front-line soldiers, lived a long and difficult life. In her youth, she learned what cold, hunger, and the loss of loved ones mean. It was hard for everyone then... I remember! I'm proud!

A year of grueling fighting, lack of weapons, food, medicine, and mistakes of the command staff completely undermined the morale of the South-Western front fighters, who were forced to retreat through the territory of Western Ukraine in the summer of 1941, putting up with the connivance of the local population to the Nazis. A year of humiliating retreat across the Azov steppes, multiple encirclements, huge losses, breakthroughs through the front line to their own, numerous checks, re-formations... and again in battle with the enemy, having at the beginning of the war a significant advantage.

After the war, he spoke with great warmth about those villagers who helped him at that time, helped him heal, sheltered him from the Germans, and when he recovered and was able to get out of the encirclement on his own, they provided him with everything necessary for the journey. And again-into battle. July 1942-concussion and two severe wounds to the head from shrapnel from an exploding bomb during an attack by Luftwaffe dive bombers. Then, at Stalingrad, the 1145th rifle regiment, where my grandfather fought, was on the defensive, and in June, by order of the command, went on the offensive.
