Tatyana Yakuba biography

I like not for women a terrible war, which brings sorrows and troubles, but there is nowhere without women. And without them there would be no victory! Tatyana Yakubinskaya once the Belarusian writer S. Aleksievich wrote the book “The War has NOT WOMEN”. I think this phrase has already become aphoristic, so it went into the people. Woman, wife, mother, what is her mission?

From time immemorial, she was the guardian of the family hearth, the support of her husband, an affectionate and caring mother, Beregina has always been like that, even in the terrible years of the war, which in its scale surpassed all the wars that had before on Earth - the Second World War, and for our people the Great Patriotic War. Only now the woman had to fulfill another role: to become the one whose feat in the future would be glorified and immortalized in monuments, books, and in the memory of generations.

And in the distant years of the Great Patriotic War, not a single woman remained aloof from those harsh events: someone went to the front and stood his shoulder to the shoulder next to the men, fighting for the freedom of the country with the Nazi invaders, someone went to the partisans, while others worked selflessly in the rear. That is why it is impossible to diminish the contribution to the victory of women who continued to educate children, work in factories and on collective farms, steadily and courageously cope with the universal misfortune, which the war was brought by a paradox: also a female family.

The Russian woman has great power, the phenomenon, probably, is not explained by anyone, in the fact that she is able to take out any trials and remain inconsistent. Now, looking back, you realize what significance the feat of these women had, because the exploits are performed not only on the battlefields that brought our victory over the enemy. My family contains the memory of great -grandfathers, the Zhitin brothers: Peter Nikolaevich and Vasily Nikolaevich.

They joined the ranks of the Soviet Army, when they were only 18 years old. Both took part in fierce battles with enemy troops, later fought with the Japanese and Fascist invaders, were awarded medals “for courage” and “For victory over Germany”. However, if a strong woman is behind every man, then in the Zhitin family she became an older sister - Anastasia Nikolaevna.

In the far, the young Aunt Asya is still a young at that time, as it was customary to call her among relatives after the death of her father took the raising of the brothers and two younger sisters. She had to leave her studies at school, because the task appeared before her - to help her mother, who, Vedovov, had to raise six children to her feet. The fourteen -year -old girl independently baked bread in the Russian stove, cooked simple food, finished cows, followed order in the house, looked after brothers and sisters.

Like everyone who remained in the rear, their life was not easy because of the hunger, illness of children, work on the collective farm, but love, mutual assistance and support helped them cope with all the difficulties that the pre-war and war years brought the family. Since childhood, having accustomed herself to work, Anastasia Nikolaevna worked selflessly all her life.

She managed to instill in diligence, courage and unshakability to Peter and Vasily. Perhaps it was the influence of the sister that contributed to the fact that the brothers went through the war to the end and returned home alive, despite numerous injuries. Aunt Asya, on the other hand, the war found in the city of Balashov, the Saratov region. The husband-officer was immediately sent to the front, and she moved to relatives to save her little son.

The war, rushing like an element that destroys everything in its path, carried away the family happiness of Anastasia Nikolaevna. The death of her beloved spouse ... She received this news a month after the German invasion. So, at 22, she lost her support and support, which even such strong women needed, and became a widow. This sad title was awarded to me by the war with the Nazis, like thousands of other widows, ”Anastasia Nikolaevna will later write in the book“ Memories ”, where he will tell about the history of her large family, which now turned out to be scattered through the countries of the former Soviet Union.

Before the Great Patriotic War, the girl entered the party, which gave her the opportunity in the war years to work as an assistant secretary in the Novospassky district committee of the party, a member of the Bureau of the All -Union Leninsky Communist Union of Youth, an instructor in the Ulyanovsk regional committee of the All -Union Communist Party. Anastasia Nikolaevna managed to combine active party activities with work with a freelance correspondent for the Kuibyshev newspaper Volzhsky Komsomolets.

In gratitude and respect, she received government awards, one of which became the medal "For Valiant Labor in the Great Patriotic War of the years." I can give several answers to this question at once. Being a very young one, she helped the mother-Vdov raise the sisters and the brothers who went through the war.

She, with a two -year -old child in her arms, buried her husband, who died in battles for Belarus. She worked in the rear, regardless of all the hardships, which fell to the lot of millions of women who navted victory not on the front line. It was they who became the unspoken heroes of the Great Patriotic War.Their names are not carved on monuments and monuments, because, as is commonly believed, their feat was not so large compared to the feat of those who defended our homeland with weapons in their hands ...

The war is probably not a female face, this is probably the case. But this great feat is immortalized in one, the largest monument of our country, which is one of the symbols of Russia-the Motherland on the Mamaev Kurgan ... a monument with a female face, because a woman, mother and homeland merged together ....
