Nina was born in Astrakhan. There were 7 children in the family. She was the eldest daughter. At the beginning of the war she was 14. Her class was sent to the barracks.

The rivers were in Kalmykia. In general, the Soviet leadership had no special illusions about victory in the war. Dry Kalmyk steppe, rotten water. Many have had dysentery. There were even fatalities. Her mother Taisia came to see her daughter, and when she saw that Nina was also sick, she took her home. Healed thanks to God.

And what do you think? He was accused of desertion. 16 year old child.

He was given the choice to either go to camp or volunteer to the front. In general, they placed Nina on the steamboat with hundreds of other "volunteers". The last thing I saw on the shore was my mother fainting.

He was sent to fieldship courses. He came to the front when he was 17. under the rye.

Many of her friends to the feat obviously did not strive and tried to cut off as much as possible. The most common and effective way is to get pregnant. They sought protectors among commanders above the rank and further in the rear. Next is the issue of technology.

One of the officers paid attention to Nina. His title and position has not been hidden by history. began to swing. But Nina, due to the naivety of concepts and the Astrakhan habit, grabbed him with a leash, for which she was sent first to the lip, and then to the front.

She described her work like this. The soldiers rise into the attack, they run away, and I do the slide and the bandage from behind. I'll help in a wreck or wreck some move and move on.

Do you imagine? Removed limbs, dispersed intestines, dead bodies and in the middle of all this a 17-year-old girl. I have a daughter 13 years old. If she shows a scratch on her finger, she will faint.

You cannot get captive. Our European partners have been critical at some points. Women in Soviet military uniform were subjected to compulsory rape and execution. In the best case, they were shot, sometimes hanged... There were no exceptions... Therefore, the German wounded were sought without a glance of conscience.

There was no hatred for the enemy. There was even pity when the bodies of the German soldiers were laid in stalls and burned like wood.

They were taken to a liberated concentration camp. A mountain of children’s shoes. In some of them, the children’s legs were cut off. After that, there was no more pity.

Next was Germany. The columns of our troops with silent indignation grinded in a hurry the militia units gathered by the Germans, without looking at the age and color of the spots. Just as the German troops in 1941 did with our militias, pioneers and just recruits. Women were raped, but not murdered. The house was robbed but not burned. They raped and robbed! In my opinion, there is nothing to justify here. The Germans did the same, only for ideological reasons. Germany got what it got.

But there was light here too.

Russian nurses placed German women in their rooms to protect them from violence. Older soldiers, who had families, sieged youths who were free from impunity. They shared food with the civilian population.

One soldier in the hospital was crying in disgrace, grabbing the trippers. I’ll go back and shoot her.

What are you shooting for? Did you ask her wishes? Or someone else asked who infected her with trippers? Here is the sulfadin take and take... Or you will bring home a battle award...the hero of the warrior.

The war ended in Czechoslovakia. Then their military part was moved to Vienna and disbanded. Vienna was in the Soviet occupation zone. There she met Alexander Politruck of the Aviation Regiment. She was overwhelmed by the fact that she was swallowing on the ice cream when she ate it. This confusion happened because she hadn’t seen ice cream before.

Life is life, married immediately and sent home. This is a romantic wedding in Vienna. I went to my grandfather’s homeland. The mother-in-law broke into the whole village. That said Sanka brought some thin Tatar from the war, and she has already agreed to a local girl Matrosih. Which had excellent “meat” and three boxes with “pardon”.

They came to Astrakhan, painted her husband as an officer. She was jealous terribly. Because a lot of guys died. There was a daughter, Lilia.

Grandfather, as an officer sent to Kamchatka. settled in the earth. One day, when Alexander came back from duty, an earthquake began. It didn’t shake very hard. The worst started later. The wave...

Remember the earthquake in South Asia. The wave was 5 meters high – several hundred thousand people died. It was a warm ocean.

The 1952 tsunami reached 15 meters. The month of November.

They ran out of what they were. Rescued and killed by families. No one wanted to give up theirs. Alexander’s daughter pulled on her. The last few meters to the mountain were already running on the water. The wet, frightened people found themselves on the roof in the persistent November wind. It is necessary to pay tribute to the pilots, they immediately began to throw away warm things, fireplaces and fuel from the people.

Thank God they remained alive. They slept dressed for a year. In the child's bed was put a knot with fireworks. At every loud sound, they jumped up and ran to the door. In general, the situation was revitalizing... Nevertheless, Nina had a second daughter – Lyudmila. Apparently the romance of travelling life had to reproduce.

Naturally, the tired frontmen are already tired of the constant extremes. Alexander refused to stay in the Far East. He was offered three options for moving: Grozny, Riga and a small town in the Saratov region. They chose the third option because it was closer to their parents. As further life showed, they did not miss.

There were many difficulties ahead. But what nonsense all this was compared to what they had already experienced... They lived a long life. He raised two daughters and raised three grandchildren. Before my death, my grandmother said, the most important thing in life is that there is something to eat and that the children do not get sick. His memory is bright.
