The youngest in this photo, Borya, will be hanged with a scarf by the Germans, but his relatives managed to save him at the last moment. After the war he would study , and work in the radio tube factory.
The older one, the Germans would send to Germany, but on the way he managed to escape and join the Red Army. Valentin would become a carpenter. The girl, Zoya(in her mother’s boots) would become a good nurse.
♦️️А the boy who sat in front of the chair and was born on today’s date, one morning on April 12, 1961(less than 16 years after his country almost single-handedly defeated Hitlerism, gave 25 million casualties, and half-destroyed in WWII )would shout, “GO!”
This is the little JURA…
The four children are of Anna and Alexey GAGARINI.
