I was born in a happy, peaceful time, but I've heard a lot about the war, because grief and misfortune have not bypassed my relatives and friends. My great-grandfather, Karimov Gataulla Galimullovich, went as a volunteer to the war in 1941. The war caught him still quite young, full of strength and health. He was 31 years old. He had a beloved wife my great-grandmother Husna. They dreamed of how they would live together, raise their children. But the war came, and he went to war, and the great-grandmother had to wait for him.
