The project
“Immortality”
Не лгать, не
трусить,
Верным быть
народу.
Любить родную
землю-мать.
Чтоб за неё в
огонь и в воду.
А если надо, то и
жизнь отдать!
(А.Т. Твардовский.)
Not to lie, not to
be a coward,
Be faithful to the
people.
To love our mother
earth.
To go through fire
and water for it.
And if it is
necessary, to give life for it!
By A.T. Twardowski.
Each year, May 9,
I come to visit my beloved grandmother, to congratulate her on Victory Day. For
me it is like a tradition to visit her on that day. It was May and I went to
her place to congratulate her yesterday. My grandmother was very glad my see me.
I gave her a small gift made by my own hands. Three cloves of red colored paper.
I think that a gift made by one’s own hand is the best gift.
Then we had tea. Suddenly
I noticed very old photos the military on the wall. I had never seen them
before. I got immediately interested in those photos and I questioned closely
about the people in the photos.
As it turned out
one of the men in the photo was my grandfather’s brother, called Zakir. I asked
my grandmother to tell me about uncle Zakir, who participated in the World War
II.
"Your uncle
Zakir was born in 1925. When the war started, he was only 16 years old. Nevertheless,
as soon as he turned 18, he was drafted into the army. Within two weeks, he was
taught to fire a gun. Then he was sent to the front to join the infantry.
Infantrymen defended their positions in the trenches. They advanced to the
attack three times. Unfortunately, he was wounded in his leg during the third attack.
The wound was very strong. Zakir thought he died, but when he opened his eyes he
found himself in a hospital. Many of the wounded and dying people lay next to
him. There were busy nurses around them. One of them came up to your uncle. She
ripped his pants and made bandage feet. Zakir said he could walk. He was given
a stick to lean on it . After a brief treatment in a military hospital, he was
sent to Russia by train. Your uncle cured there. Having lived in Russia for six
months, he was called into the army again, in 1944. Because of his injured feet,
Zakir was taught to drive a tank. He studied for two months. When he went to
the front, he was a well-trained tanker. His tank was brewed by the enemies several
times and once the tank heavily burned, but Zakir survived.
By that time,
Russia got free from the Nazi invaders. Al people were happy and all were
waiting for their relatives from the war, your uncle returned to his homeland
in 1949. While he was far from in the war he wrote letters to your grandparents,
we read together. Those letters told us about his military life, love and hope
and belief in the victory. They were very touching. Unfortunately, the letters were
lost during the flood in our area. But they are carefully stored in my heart.
I'll always remember every line of the letters. "
I didn’t interrupt
her till the story was done. And then I was sitting there, not breaking the
silence, seeing her emotional pain. Her eyes were tearing when she told me about
my uncle .
I belong to the fortunate
generation that did not catch war. And this story has really affected me. My
uncle fought for the peaceful future of our country, as well as other people of
that time. Therefore, everyone should know about his life, be proud of him and
talk about him to their children. They deserve eternal glory.
I want all the
people on the Earth to live in peace. Our great-grandfathers gave their lives
for the peaceful sky overhead. If each of us is good, peaceful and humane, we
will preserve peace in our country.
I do not want war.
I believe that we, the children of the twenty-first century are waiting for a
bright future. Thank you for the victory, thanks to all who fought for us.
