''The Great Patriotic War… '' So many stories are written about it, so many songs are sang , so many words are said… So many tears are shed because of it. This part of history will never disappear from our memory because it remains in the souls of those who were in that hell and those whose relatives died at the front. For every Russian it is very hard to think and speak about this war as it has brought too much pain. Nevertheless it is worth being spoken about because it is not only our pain, but our mistake as well. Probably, when discussing the great Patriotic War, we will understand the value of peace, friendship, love and will finally learn how to save these great values. Moreover, we have to remember and honor those who fought for the life and freedom of the Russians, because only thanks to them we have the country we live in now. The contribution of each participant of the war and worker of rear is really invaluable. | ''The Great Patriotic War… '' So many stories are written about it, so many songs are sang , so many words are said… So many tears are shed because of it.

I would like to tell you about my great-grandmother who was in rear during the Great Patriotic War and endured many troubles. Her name is Antonova Evdokiya Ivanovna, she was born on the 25th of April, 1922. Unfortunately, she died two years ago, but during all her life she told me many facts and stories, shared her feelings and emotions. | I would like to tell you about my great-grandmother who was in rear during the Great Patriotic War and endured many troubles.

When the war broke out, my granny was only 19. Youth is considered to be the most romantic period of life and this wonderful period of life was full of pain. Evdokia Ivanovna and her family (parents and three sisters) lived not far away from Smolensk, in a village called Budnitsa. This area was occupied by German soldiers rather early and during the whole war was under German or Russian soldiers, in turn. The situation in Budnitsa and near-by villages was difficult. As my grandmother said, they did not know what would happen and that was the most awful thing. No matter who owned the village, one thing remained – burglary. Both Russians and Germans stole from the people.
Russian version: Антонова Евдокия Ивановна
