negative of the forty-first year is marked with a red stripe, which means it is especially valuable, like all films from the time of the war for the photographer himself. this card will also become a family heirloom, mayakovskaya. so this is the very center of every day. mom lived, here is my mother here in the foreground, she met, just with the family of shahets. she went down there with her accessories of some kind there, because she lived on the fifth tverskoy them skol october 1941 arkady samoylovich on the instructions of the editors, a boom descends into the metro, the shelter, together with his son, helps to carry and arrange the equipment. further, the story of the acquaintance of the assistant photographer, who was the son of a sheikhet. arkady himself, desperately with a young girl who was fleeing the bombing in the future, the parents of maria anatolyevna then 16 years later they will meet in the

pictures of sasha with his aunt and sister, but the photo chronicle of the war will go in, it is this soldier who turns away on him as if hiding tears. very few women came with flowers of the civilian population, because the city was still mined and the military was not allowed to walk the streets, and therefore this rally, rally took place on the central road on this part of the road from the side of orel. shahid is filming on this spot in the city center. and he will see karachev like this from the plane. tatiana had never seen these footage before. that's why a partial survivor is still in central department store. the granddaughter will determine exactly on this street grandfather's house was standing, this is his street, dear, the street along which he passed and saw the broken burned houses and saw from the ashes of his house.
