Characteristics of the heroes "and the dawns here are quiet"

1. Fedot Vaskov

   Fedot Vaskov was already in the Finnish War, and now he is protecting the rear of the Soviet troops. He is the commandant of the patrol, to whom, after lengthy requests to send soldiers who don’t drink and don’t party, they sent very young girls who had barely crossed the school threshold.
   Vaskov is the only survivor of his entire squad, but he lost his arm due to an infection in the wound he received.

   There is no direct indication in the book that Vaskov serves in air defense. Anti-aircraft gunners were sent to the site to protect against air attacks. During the Winter War, Vaskov was a scout.
   Zhenya Komelkova

   A very beautiful red-haired girl, the other heroines were amazed at her beauty. Tall, slender, with fair skin. When the Germans captured Zhenya’s village, an Estonian woman managed to hide Zhenya herself. In front of the girl's eyes, the Nazis shot her mother, sister and brother.
   In Vaskov's platoon, Zhenya showed artistry; but there was also enough room for heroism; it was she who, calling fire on herself, led the Germans away from Rita and Vaskov. She saves Vaskov when he fights the second German who killed Sonya Gurvich. The Germans first wounded and then shot her at point-blank range.

   In the film, the role of Komelkova was played by actress Olga Ostroumova.
   Rita Osyanina

   Rita Mushtakova was the first of her class to marry Lieutenant Osyanin, with whom she gave birth to a son, Albert. Rita's husband died during a counterattack on June 23, 1941.
   In Vaskov's platoon, Rita became friends with Zhenya Komelkova and Galya Chetvertak. She died last, putting a bullet in her temple and thereby saving Fedot Vaskov. Before her death, she asked him to take care of her son.
   Lisa Brichkina

   Liza Brichkina is a simple village girl who is under pressure from her father. At the same time, a hunter-traveler comes to their house, with whom Lisa falls in love. But not having mutual feelings for Lisa, and seeing at the same time the conditions in which the girl is growing up, he invites her to come to the capital and enroll in a technical school. But Lisa never managed to become a student; the war began.
   Lisa drowned in a swamp while carrying out an assignment for Sergeant Major Vaskov, for whom she had loving feelings.
   Galya Chetvertak
   Galina Chetvertak introduces herself as Marion Dixon (still from Rostotsky’s film)

   Galya grew up in an orphanage. It was there that she received her nickname for her short stature.
   During the battle with the Germans, Vaskov took Galya with him, but she, unable to withstand the nervous tension of waiting for the Germans, ran out of cover and was shot by the Nazis. Despite such an absurd death, the foreman told the girls that she died in a shootout.
   Sonya Gurvich

   Sonya Gurvich is a girl who grew up in a large Jewish family. She knew German and could have been a good translator, but there were many translators, so she was assigned to an anti-aircraft gunner (of whom, in turn, there were few).
   Sonya is the second victim of the Germans in Vaskov’s platoon. She runs away from the others to find and return Vaskov’s pouch, and stumbles upon patrol saboteurs who killed Sonya with two stabs in the chest.

2. Zhenya is a red-haired beautiful girl. She is distinguished by her artistry and extraordinary charm. Her friends admire her. However, the important qualities of her character are strength and fearlessness. In war, she is also driven by the desire for revenge. The characteristics of the heroes of the work And the Quiet Dawns Here are connected with their destinies. Each of the characters is a person with their own sad story. Most of the girls' parents were taken away by the war. But Zhenya’s fate is especially tragic, because the Germans shot her mother, sister and brother before her eyes. She is the last of the girls to die. Leading the Germans with her, she suddenly thinks about how stupid it is to die at eighteen. The Germans shot her point-blank, and then peered at her beautiful, proud face for a long time.
   20:45:58
   Fedot Vaskov Sergeant Major went through the Finnish War. He was married and had a child. But by the beginning of the Patriotic War, he became an absolutely lonely person. The wife left. The young son died. And there was not a person in the whole world who would yearn for Vaskov, would wait for him from the front and hope that he would survive this war. But he survived.
   Rita Osyanina She seemed older than the other girls. Rita was the only mother from a platoon of anti-aircraft gunners who died in the Karelian forests in those days. She gives the impression of a more serious and reasonable person compared to other girls. After being seriously wounded, Rita shot herself in the temple, thereby saving the life of the foreman. Characteristics of the heroes of the story The Dawns Here Are Quiet; descriptions of the characters and a brief background to the pre-war years. Unlike her friends, Osyanina managed to get married and even give birth to a son. The husband died at the very beginning of the war. But the war did not allow her to raise her son.
   Liza Brichkina is a girl from Siberia who was raised without a mother and, like any young woman, dreamed of love. Therefore, when she meets the middle-aged officer Vaskov, a feeling awakens in her. The sergeant major will never know about him. While carrying out his task, Lisa drowns in a swamp.
   Galina Chetvertak is a former pupil of an orphanage. She did not lose anyone during the war, because in the whole world she did not have a single soul mate. But she so wanted to be loved and have a family that she indulged in her dreams with selflessness. Rita died first. And when the bullet overtook her, Mom shouted a word that she had never used to call any woman during her lifetime. Once upon a time Sonya Gurvich had parents, brothers and sisters. During the war, all members of the large Jewish family died. Sonya was left alone. This girl was distinguished from others by her sophistication and education. Gurvich died when she was returning for a pouch forgotten by the foreman.
3. “And the Dawns Here Are Quiet” is a work that describes interesting female characters. Sonya, Galya, Lisa, Zhenya, Rita - five different, but in some ways very similar girls. Rita Osyanina is gentle and strong-willed, distinguished by spiritual beauty. She is the most fearless, courageous, she is a mother. Zhenya Komelkova is white-skinned, red-haired, tall, with childish eyes, always laughing, cheerful, mischievous to the point of adventurism, tired of pain, war and painful and long love for a married and distant man. Sonya Gurvich is an excellent student, a refined poetic nature, as if she came out of a book of poems by Alexander Blok. Liza Brichkina always knew how to wait, she knew that she was destined for life, and it was impossible to avoid it. The latter, Galya, always lived more actively in the imaginary world than in the real one, so she was very afraid of this merciless terrible phenomenon that is war. “And the Dawns Here Are Quiet” portrays this heroine as a funny, never-grown-up, clumsy orphanage girl. Escape from the orphanage, notes and dreams... about long dresses, solo parts and universal worship. She wanted to become the new Lyubov Orlova.
4. Overall nothing special

About B. Vasiliev’s story “The Dawns Here Are Quiet”

Materials for working on the story.

B. Vasiliev is a famous Russian writer, the most famous are his works “Not on the lists”, “And the dawns here are quiet”, “Don’t shoot white swans”, “Tomorrow there was a war”, B. Vasiliev is also the author of historical novels.

B. Vasiliev was born into a military family in 1924. In 1941, he volunteered for the front. That is why his works on military themes sound so piercingly poignant, touching our souls every time we turn to them.

The story “The Dawns Here Are Quiet” brought fame and popularity to B. Vasiliev as a writer; in 1969 he was even awarded a State Prize for this story. The innovation of this work was in the subject matter: B. Vasiliev raised the topic “woman in war.”

B. Vasiliev’s works about the Great Patriotic War have entertaining plots, the development of which the reader follows with great interest. For example, reading the story “The Dawns Here Are Quiet,” we all hope that the girls and Sergeant Major Vaskov will cope with an enemy outnumbered, defeat him and remain alive. Following the plot of the story “Not on the Lists,” we worry about the main character, who, losing friends and strength, being left alone, continues to fight the enemy, and we, together with him, really want him to destroy as many fascists as possible and remain live.

However, not only the fascination of the plot is the advantage of B. Vasiliev’s works. The main thing for the writer has always been the desire to conduct a conversation on moral topics: about cowardice and betrayal, about self-sacrifice and heroism, about decency and nobility.

The story “The Dawns Here Are Quiet” attracts with its unusual plot: in a cruel, inhumane war, where it is difficult for a man to cope with emotions and endure physical hardships, girls who voluntarily went to the front become the same soldiers of war. They are 18-19-20 years old. They have different education: some of them studied at universities, some have only primary education. They have different social status: some are from an intelligentsia family, some are from a remote village. They have different life experiences: some have already been married and lost their husbands in the war, while others only lived with dreams of love. Their commander, watching over them, Sergeant Major Vaskov, is tactful and sensitive, feels sorry for his soldiers, and understands how difficult army science is for them. He feels infinitely sorry for these girls, who carried out an impossible combat mission with him and died in a collision with an enemy superior in strength and power. These girls died at the dawn of their years, in the prime of their beauty and youth.

The central characters of the story “The Dawns Here Are Quiet” are five female anti-aircraft gunners and the foreman, 32-year-old Fedot Evgrafovich Vaskov. Fedot Vaskov is a village man with four years of education. However, he graduated from the regimental school and has already been in military service for 10 years, rising to the rank of sergeant major. Even before the Great Patriotic War, he participated in military campaigns. He was unlucky with his wife: he was caught frivolous, partying and drinking. Fedot Evgrafovich's son was raised by his mother, but one day she did not save him: the boy died. Fedot Evgrafovich is wounded by life and fate. But he did not become hardened, did not become indifferent, his soul ached for everything. At first glance, he is a dense idiot who knows nothing except the provisions of the Charter.

Five anti-aircraft gunner girls are like five types of women.

Rita Osyanina. The wife of a career officer, married out of great conscious love, a real officer's wife. She, unlike the ex-wife of Sergeant Major Vaskov, devoted her entire life to her husband and went to the front to continue his work as a defender of the Fatherland. Rita is probably a beautiful girl, but for her the main thing in life is duty, whatever it may be. Rita is a man of duty.

Zhenya Komelkova. A girl of divine beauty. Such girls are created to be admired. Tall, long-legged, red-haired, white-skinned. Zhenya also experienced a personal tragedy - before her eyes, the Nazis shot her entire family. But Zhenya does not show her emotional wound to anyone. Zhenya is a girl who is the decoration of life, but she has become a fighter, an avenger.

Sonya Gurvich. A girl from a Jewish family that valued education. Sonya also dreamed of getting a university education. Sonya's life is theater, library, poetry. Sonya is a spiritual girl, but the war also forced her to become a fighter.

Lisa Brichkina. The girl from a remote village may be the most useful fighter of all five, because it’s not for nothing that Vaskov gives her the most difficult task. Living in the forest with her huntsman father, Lisa learned many of the wisdoms of life outside civilization. Lisa is an earthly, folk girl.

Galya Chetvertak. Friend of Zhenya and Rita. Nature did not endow her with at least some hint of feminine beauty, nor did she give her luck. Galya is a girl from whom fate, or God, or nature took away her beauty, intelligence, spirituality, strength - in general, almost everything. Galya is a sparrow girl.

The action takes place in May 1942. We can say that this is the first year of the Great Patriotic War. The enemy is still strong and in some ways superior to the Red Army, in which even young girls become fighters, replacing dead fathers and husbands. Somewhere far away along the entire front there are fierce battles, but here, in a remote forest region, it is not the front line of defense, but the enemy is still felt, and the war here has also made its presence known, for example, by enemy air raids. The place where the female anti-aircraft gunners serve is not so dangerous, but an emergency suddenly arises.

Characteristics.

Sergeant Major Vaskov is the commander of a small anti-aircraft point located in the rear, whose task is to destroy enemy aircraft carrying out raids on our land. The place in which he serves as a commander is not the leading edge, but Vaskov understands perfectly well that his task is also important, and he treats the assigned task with honor. He worries that in this relatively calm place the soldiers are losing their fighting form, so to speak, and are drinking themselves to death from idleness. He receives reprimands for poor educational work, but still writes reports to his superiors and asks to send non-drinking fighters. He didn’t even think that, fulfilling his request to send non-drinkers, they would send him a whole squad of girls. It was difficult for him with his new fighters, but he tried to find a common language with them, although he, shy of the female sex, accustomed not to sharpen his bows, but to prove his worth by deeds, had a very difficult time with sharp-tongued women. Vaskov does not enjoy authority among them; rather, he serves only as an object of ridicule. The girls did not recognize in him a very extraordinary personality, a real hero.

He is the embodiment of a hero from folk tales. He is one of those soldiers who cook porridge from an ax, and “shave with an awl and warm themselves with smoke.” None of the girls, perhaps except Liza Brichkina, in relatively peaceful circumstances understood the essence of his heroic nature. And his heroism, of course, did not lie in the ability to loudly shout “Follow me!” and throw yourself at the embrasure, closing your eyes. He is one of those “essential”, perhaps rare people now, who you can rely on in any situation. He is a real man who will not be intimidated by the enemy, no matter how many he appears in front of him. Vaskov thinks first and then acts. He is a humanistic person, because his soul cares for his fighters and does not want them to die in vain. He doesn't need victory at any cost, but he doesn't feel sorry for himself. He is a real living man, because he is not an ascetic. He shares a bed with the owner of the apartment simply out of necessity, simply because the circumstances have developed this way, and he is used to living in harmony with the world around him, and he is not disgusted by it.

Rita Osyanina is a man of duty. A true Komsomol member because she loves her Motherland. And she marries a border guard, because the border guard guards the Motherland. Probably, Rita to a greater extent married an idea, albeit for love. Rita is the ideal that was brought up by the Party and the Komsomol. But Rita is not a walking idea. This is truly an ideal, because she is also a real woman: a mother and a wife. And also a good friend. Rita is also one of those people you can always rely on.

Zhenya Komelkova is rather the opposite of Rita in terms of feminine essence. If Rita is more of a social creature, then Zhenya is a purely personal one. People like Zhenya never do as everyone else does, as the majority do, much less as they should. People like Zhenya always break the laws. They feel that they have this right because they are special, they are Beauties. Any man will forgive any beauty any guilt. But behind the external fragility and crystalline beauty of her wife, a very strong nature is hidden. As you know, life is not easy for beauties. They encounter envy, they constantly have to prove that they are worth something in this life, life-struggle hardens them. Zhenya is a fighter in life. This allows Zhenya to fight to the last in the war. Zhenya died as a hero. Being a beauty, she did not demand privileges for herself.

Liza Brichkina is not a beauty, unlike Zhenya. But what brings Lisa closer to Zhenya is that she also lives with her heart and gut. She did not receive a school education due to her mother's illness (as Vaskov once did due to the death of her father), but she developed her soul by reflecting on what surrounded her. Lisa passionately dreamed of love and even transgressed the laws of female behavior, but God did not allow her to make a mistake. And now at the outpost Lisa met her ideal in the gloomy, taciturn foreman Vaskov. Lisa rushed headlong to carry out Vaskov’s instructions. Despite the fact that it was very dangerous, Lisa did not think about it for a minute. She was ready to do anything for him and even, if necessary, sacrifice her life, if only he would say: “Well done, Brichkin’s fighter.”

Sonya Gurvich is a person of a completely different history and a different culture. Sonya is a person of Jewish culture. Its religion is a global culture. Sonya studied to become an English translator in order to be even closer to world achievements of spirituality or to bring them closer to her homeland. Sonya is characterized by restraint and asceticism, but both under her “armored” dresses and under the soldier’s tunic a tremulous and at the same time stoic heart beat.

Galka Chetvertak is a weak person who stays close to strong girls, her friends. She had not yet had time to learn the same stamina as they had, but she probably really wanted it. If the peace had not been disrupted by the war, Galka could have become an actress, because all her life she tried on various roles; maybe she would have become a writer, because her imagination was limitless.

Ideological and thematic analysis.

Subject.

The theme of the story is “a woman at war.” The choice of this topic is humanistic. It is very important to raise such a topic, to consider the nuances of a woman’s existence in war.

Idea.

The idea of ​​the story is to show the unnaturalness of such a fact as a woman in war. A woman’s natural task is to give birth and raise children. And in war she must kill, going against her natural essence. In addition, the very phenomenon of war kills women, the continuers of life on earth. And therefore, it kills life on earth. It is also a well-known fact that it was after the war that smoking among women spread in our country, a phenomenon that disfigures women’s nature.

Conflict.

The story has external and internal conflict.

The external conflict is on the surface: this is the struggle of female anti-aircraft gunners under the command of Sergeant Major Vaskov with an enemy of superior strength. This is a tragic-sounding conflict, because inexperienced girls are faced with an obviously invincible enemy: the enemy is superior in quantity and quality. The enemy of girls is trained, physically strong, prepared men.

Internal conflict is a clash of moral forces. The evil, criminal will of a politician, guided by delusional immoral ideas, opposes life on earth. The struggle of these forces. And the victory of good over evil, but at the cost of incredible efforts and losses.

Analysis of artistic features.

One of the artistic features that you can pay attention to is the use of words and expressions in a colloquial style. This feature is most clearly represented in Vaskov’s speech. His speech characterizes him as an uneducated, rural person. So he says: “theirs”, “if anything”, “sheburshat”, “girls”, “exactly”, etc. He formulates his thoughts in phrases similar to proverbs: “This war is like a smoke for a hare for men, but for you... “,” “A chirp for a military man is a bayonet in the liver”... But this is completely from popular speech: “There is something nice to look at.” It is Vaskov, with his folk speech, who draws up the outline of the narrative. He organizes dialogues. And they are always filled with jokes, his personal aphorisms, official business expressions from the charter, adapted to the situation. He consoles in sorrow, gives wise instructions, and directs the life and activities of the detachment in the right direction.

Here is an example of such a dialogue.

Oh, my girls, my girls! Did you eat at least a bite, did you sleep with half an eye?

I didn’t want to, Comrade Sergeant Major...

What kind of foreman am I to you now, sisters? I'm kind of like a brother now. That's what you call Fedot. Or Fedey, as my mother called him.

And Galka?

Our comrades died the death of the brave. Chetvertak is in a shootout, and Liza Brichkina drowns in a swamp. It was not in vain that they died: they won a day. Now it’s our turn to win the day. And there will be no help, and the Germans are coming here. So let’s remember our sisters, and then we’ll have to fight. Last. apparently.

Plot analysis.

Initial event.

The initial event is, of course, the beginning of the war. It was the outbreak of the war that changed the lives of the heroes, forced them to live in a new way, in new conditions, in new circumstances. For some heroes, the war destroyed everything that was valuable in their lives. The heroes have to defend their right to live on their land with weapons in their hands. The heroes are filled with hatred for the enemy, but they understand that the enemy is cunning, insidious, strong, and you can’t cope with him just like that, with one desire, you will have to sacrifice something. However, they all hope that happiness will come to them. For example, Rita Osyanina is already happy that, having transferred to travel, she has the opportunity to see her son two or three times a week. And other girls, although they have not forgotten about the pain that the enemy caused them, are still not in a depressed mood, and even in these conditions, while performing a combat mission, they find the opportunity to enjoy life.

Main event.

The plot of events is that Rita, returning to her unit, saw saboteurs. This meant that the enemy had already penetrated the rear of the army and was beginning to create a threat from within. This enemy must be destroyed. Sergeant Major Vaskov, having learned from Rita that there are only two saboteurs, takes on this task, calculating that he and his female assistants will be able to cope with such an enemy on their own. He creates a group of five girls, leads the group, and they set out to complete the task. The fulfillment of this task becomes the central event, during which the characters’ characters are revealed and their essence is revealed.

Central event.

The central event is the fight between the girls and Vaskov against the fascist saboteurs. This encounter takes place in the forest near Howl Lake. At the very beginning of this event, the girls and Vaskov learn that they were mistaken: there are not two saboteurs, as they assumed, but sixteen people. They do not leave the chosen position, hoping that they will be able to deceive the enemy. Of course, this was not a naive hope, they understood that the forces were unequal, but duty would not allow them to escape to save their lives. Vaskov tried to foresee possible dangers, but the impulsiveness and emotionality of the girls could not be controlled or planned.

Lisa Brichkina dies first. She did not listen to Vaskov’s warnings about caution and did not take a bag, without which she could not walk through the swamp. She wanted so much to complete the foreman’s order as quickly as possible that she neglected her safety. Then Sonya Gurvich dies, having recklessly rushed after Vaskov’s pouch, because out of the kindness of her heart she wanted to do something nice for the commander. Next was Galya quarter. She ran out of cover in a panic and came under machine-gun fire.

These girls died precisely as women, that is, because they committed impulsive, thoughtless actions, and in war this is not possible. However, woman is different from woman. Rita Osyanina and Zhenya Komelkova showed an example of true courage and heroism, fighting in this fierce struggle with an enemy four times their size. The enemy retreated, but the girls died. They died like heroines. They did not yield to the enemy, but lost to him, giving their lives in this fight.

Final event.

After the battle, which was fought by Vaskov, Zhenya and Rita, only six Germans remained alive. They retreated to their shelter. Vaskov, having lost Zhenya and Rita in battle, vowed to avenge the girls. Wounded himself, barely able to stand on his feet from fatigue and pain, he kills a sentry and takes the sleeping Germans by surprise. The only weapons he had were a grenade without a fuse and a revolver with the last cartridge. But will, determination, courage, surprise and pressure, as well as the fact that the Germans did not believe that he attacked them alone, helped him not only shoot them, taking possession of a machine gun, but he took them prisoner and brought them to the location of the Soviet troops .

Main event.

Post-war time. In the places where the events of the play took place, vacationers (born after the war) fish and enjoy the silence and beauty of these places. They see that an old man without an arm and a military man, whose name is Albert Fedotich, arrive there. These men came to erect a monument in those places. We understand that this old man is the same foreman Vaskov, and the military man is his adopted son Albert Osyanin. The beauty of these places is especially visible in the final scene, and it is clear to us that the girls died so that the dawns in these places and throughout Russia would always be quiet.

Super task.

The author's main task is to show that Good defeats Evil. Even having died, Good still triumphs over Evil. The victory of Evil, if it happens, is only temporary. This is the law of Divine justice. But to win, Good almost always has to die. This is what happened in the story of Jesus Christ. And yet, despite death, Good dies for the continuation of life. And it continues. And that means there is no death for him. So, for us too, if we do good.

Death is a constant companion of war. Soldiers die in battle, and this brings lasting pain to their loved ones. But their fate is to defend their homeland and perform heroic deeds. The death of young women in war is a tragedy for which there is no justification. The story “The Dawns Here Are Quiet” is dedicated to this topic. The characteristics of the heroes, who were invented by Boris Vasiliev, give the work a special tragedy.

Five female characters, so different and so alive, were created by a talented writer in a story, which was later filmed by an equally gifted director. The system of images in the work plays an important role. The story of five lives that ended tragically early is the story “And the Dawns Here Are Quiet.” The characteristics of the characters play a central place in the plot.

Fedot Vaskov

The sergeant major went through the Finnish War. He was married and had a child. But by the beginning of the Patriotic War, he became an absolutely lonely person. The young son died. And there was not a person in the whole world who would yearn for Vaskov, would wait for him from the front and hope that he would survive this war. But he survived.

The main characters are not in the story “And the Dawns Here Are Quiet.” The characteristics of the heroes are nevertheless given by Vasiliev in some detail. Thus, the author depicts not just people, but the fates of five girls who barely managed to graduate from school, and a middle-aged front-line soldier. They have nothing in common. But the war connected them forever. And even after many years, Vaskov returns to the place where five lives of young anti-aircraft gunners were cut short.

Zhenya Komelkova

Why has the story “The Dawns Here Are Quiet” not lost interest among readers over the years? The characteristics of the characters in this book are presented so comprehensively that the death that befalls each of the girls begins to be perceived as the death of a familiar person.

Zhenya is a red-haired beautiful girl. She is distinguished by her artistry and extraordinary charm. Her friends admire her. However, the important qualities of her character are strength and fearlessness. In war, she is also driven by the desire for revenge. The characteristics of the heroes of the work “And the Dawns Here Are Quiet” are connected with their destinies. Each of the characters is a person with his own sad story.

Most of the girls' parents were taken away by the war. But Zhenya’s fate is especially tragic, because the Germans shot her mother, sister and brother before her eyes. She is the last of the girls to die. Leading the Germans with her, she suddenly thinks about how stupid it is to die at eighteen... The Germans shot her point-blank, and then peered at her beautiful, proud face for a long time.

Rita Osyanina

She seemed older than the other girls. Rita was the only mother from a platoon of anti-aircraft gunners who died in the Karelian forests in those days. She gives the impression of a more serious and reasonable person compared to other girls. After being seriously wounded, Rita shot herself in the temple, thereby saving the life of the foreman. Characteristics of the heroes of the story “The Dawns Here Are Quiet” - a description of the characters and a brief background to the pre-war years. Unlike her friends, Osyanina managed to get married and even give birth to a son. The husband died at the very beginning of the war. But the war did not allow her to raise her son.

Other heroines

The above characters are the brightest in the story “And the Dawns Here Are Quiet.” The main characters, whose characteristics are presented in the article, are not only Vaskov, Komelkova and Osyanina. Vasiliev depicted three more female images in his work.

Liza Brichkina is a girl from Siberia who was raised without a mother and, like any young woman, dreamed of love. Therefore, when she meets the middle-aged officer Vaskov, a feeling awakens in her. The sergeant major will never know about him. While carrying out his task, Lisa drowns in a swamp.

Galina Chetvertak is a former pupil of an orphanage. She did not lose anyone during the war, because in the whole world she did not have a single soul mate. But she so wanted to be loved and have a family that she indulged in her dreams with selflessness. Rita died first. And when the bullet caught up with her, she shouted “Mom” - a word she had never used to call any woman during her lifetime.

Once upon a time Sonya Gurvich had parents, brothers and sisters. During the war, all members of the large Jewish family died. Sonya was left alone. This girl was distinguished from others by her sophistication and education. Gurvich died when she was returning for a pouch forgotten by the foreman.
