heroes - shakhtiniens 

People represent any city, as well as state which respecting itself. How they make it, whether is in it soul, what soul - depends reference of enclosing to this city, its people.

The time flies by imperceptible. There leave years, decade, and centuries. Humankind already on one thousand years became older. It still wars, plunders, steals, violates itself and nature, works and has a rest, likes and laughs, cries and travails children. As any other mankind.

On these pages, I would like to tell to you little bit about the people, of who can be proud not only we - shakhtiniens. Those are remains on our Earth ever less. There will be soon nobody to tell about those days, which one by them was lived. Events, people, cities and roads, passed by them, torments went through and friends lost.

About the veterans of 2 world war - Heroes - shakhtiniens.

Nobody is alive remained among 29 Heroes of the Soviet Union - shakhtiniens, today.

They leave from us in the best world, where there are no wars, cruelty and violence, which they could see during life and take of grief. Some of us often wave away from them, neglectfully nods on the awards, laugh at them, occasionally it is possible to hear sneer in a voice of the man to address the elderly warrior. They seem not clear, alien, nosy and inconvenient. Nevertheless, they in 40 years of XX century have made our world more peaceful. By losses, gains, torments, desire to be free. Sometimes, it seems, that they prolong to war today. Now, in 2001, at once after May 9, 2001, I write these strings and I remember 1969-1970 years. 25 years from day of victory of the Soviet Union in war with Germany have passed. The restoring time from postwar ruin, and building new in Russia (then still Soviet Union) prolonged. The reference to the veterans of war was diverse.

My old men remember years of war - they were in that time 12-14 years old. They did not participate in military operations. However now, looking frames of a military newsreel on the TV, the mother crying, and the father after half-hour view of aged film leaves in a garden or in barn, sniffs and keep silent - his brother perished in war.

Here is brief autobiographical data, which one are known about them and are readily available - veterans of Patriotic war - Heroes (Soviet Union, nowadays not existing on maps, but stayed in memory of many people) - shakhtiniens-underground, resisting to enemy, betrayers. Completely is fulfilled the civil and human duty.
