How I fell in love with German speech and became a Nazi

During the Second World War, my grandfather Tykhin, a Ukrainian, was driven away by the Nazis for forced labor in Germany.

On the other hand, all the young men from his village, also Ukrainians, were drafted to the front in the Red Army, which fought against the Nazis. Among them was my great uncle Gregory, also a Ukrainian.

Happy New Year 2023!

2022 struck our hearts. We cried out all the tears. All the prayers were yelled. 311 days. We have something to say about every minute. But most words are superfluous. No explanation needed. Silence is needed to hear. Pauses are needed to realize
