Eternal Flame 2013

In January 1943, the liberation of Ukraine from Nazi occupation began with a powerful offensive of Soviet troops in the direction of Donbass and Kharkov. The Red Army reached the Dnieper borders, crossed the Dnieper and liberated Kiev. Crossed the Dnieper and Mikola. On the Dnieper, he was wounded – an enemy fragment injured his knee. Since then, Mikola can walk very slowly and only with a wand. Now he lives on the outskirts of the city of Mena, in the Chernihiv region of Ukraine. He is not the only men's veteran – the veteran movement has always been developed here, monuments stood in almost every village, Eternal lights burned ... Now the events of those distant years have been forgotten in a series of today's problems. But for Men's veterans, May 9 is still the main day of the calendar.
