People's help to the front had no boundaries - sending food and warm clothes, souvenirs, washing and repairing soldiers' uniform, donating silver and gold jewelry, coins to the defense fund, buying government bonds and loans For shooting the series "of The Fragments" real cartridge cases were used. They were found by the members of the Association "Trizna". The shooting took place at the Meshchersky forest. The territory of the forest was located near the place of the last attempt of the fascist troops to break through to the capital. The military worked to strengthen the defense, proceeded to dig numerouspositions and trenches. Some of these fortifications can still be seen in the eastern part of the forest park. |
The main treasure of a Bashkir woman has always been abreast plate. It was a really expensive jewel made of gems, corals and coins. It was passeddown from generation to generation, and was the family heritage. During the Great Patriotic War, the breastplates"survived" after the repressions and kulaks dispossessions, were donated to the needs of the defense. Several tons of silver were collected. Precious metals were melted down into spare parts of military equipment, nonferrous - into cartridges. Some people kept the tissue basis of the monisto, very rare- the "sulpy" - jewellery for hair in plaits. That is why today it is very difficult to find a whole breastplate. Masters redeem separate items from collectors and literally collect breastplates bit by bit, restore them according to the preserved schemes and folk tales. |
