After graduating a small local school I was called up for military service to the Soviet Army. I had no chance to enjoy peaceful life after the service because World War II was begun. A young boy of 22 years old had to pay the soldier’s duty. In 1945, 22 nd June I started a five-years dangerous way to the Victory of 1945.
