(written from my grandmother's name)
"...I was 13 years old in 1941. My brother Sasha (Aleksandr) was almost 17.
In June 18, 1941 it was my birthday and I still had all the wonderful memories about my family Sunday dinner together with my parents, brother, uncles, aunts and my cousins.
My father asked me:"What are you going to do Irka?"
Then mu uncle laughed and slightly hit my brother's shoulder:"Ask him, Shashka is a grown man!"
We all were laughing and at that time no one of as knew that it will be our last dinner together. And in three days our life in a quite Soviet village "Kovrovi" will change forever.

June 22, 1941 came to our country, Russia...
To be continue...
When you find your dream
When you find your dream,
Then you find yourself.
Never question "Why?"
Only say "I can!"
No matter what,
No matter where,
Dreams come true
If you believe.
