2. He battled for our motherland
My great-grandfather Sitnicov Nicolay
Ivanovich was born in 1914. He died when he
was 52. He took part in the Great Patriotic
War. He came back home without any
wounds and contusions. It seems unfair that
he died because of hepatitis illness in peace-
time. Even my mum hasn’t seen him.
But he is still living in our hearts.
3. Our duty is to keep memory
The documents of
my great-
grandfather are
stored in our family:
the military
registration card,
the certifications to
the medals “For
Courage”, “For
Battle Merit”;
4. He is a real hero for me
merit certificates to
medals “For the
Liberation of
Prague”
“For the Capture of
Berlin”.
My great-
grandfather served
as a soldier of the
Red Army. He
groomed for horses.
5. Thank you, my great-grandfather for my life.
