Genetic memory
My mom. Anna Ivanovna Akhmatova (now deceased) explained: the sound of a tractor engine reminded me of the roar of German tanks, from which my mother, pregnant with me, once hid in the bushes. I did not see or hear the tanks themselves - the memory was transmitted genetically.
My father, a career soldier, served near Bialystok (the territory of Poland, which was ceded to the USSR in 1939).
The families of the command staff were loaded onto the train. But for some reason my mother wasn't evacuated. Pregnant and with a two-year-old daughter in her arms, she had to leave the city on foot to the east. Several other women with children went with her.
It turned out that they were lucky: the train with the evacuees was bombed. But Mom and her fellow travelers had to hide from tanks and planes that were descending and firing machine guns at the refugees. At the same time, the pilots saw that there were women with children and old women below.
A walkie-talkie in a backpack
After another raid, one woman was killed, and her young son was seriously injured.
- We are sitting in the forest and crying. - my mother told me. - A two-year-old daughter is in my arms, and you're due soon. The second woman has an infant. The boy needs to be carried, but there is no one. Our military came up. They asked me what was the matter. They offered: - And give it to us! They went to the side. Soon a shot rang out from there...
when the mother got to Gomel or Mogilev (she couldn't remember exactly), the station commander gave her a bag of lollipops and helped her with a place in the train. A boy of about twelve was running along the platform, crying bitterly, saying: "The train came, but Mom wasn't there, the train came, but Mom wasn't there."
After a while, he was detained by two border guards. It turns out that he had a walkie-talkie in his backpack on his back, he was transmitting a message to the Germans that the train was at the platform, but there were no planes.
Potato field
The message, apparently, reached the Germans - their planes arrived, and the bombing began. The mother lost consciousness. When she woke up, she started looking for her daughter and accidentally, according to a dress with large polka dots, she found her alive and well among the corpses.
At the end of August, the mother reached Przemysl, Kaluga region. I was born there, and I was under occupation with my mother until January 1942.
According to my mother, we were starving. She and other women went to the field to get frozen potatoes. And the fascists, having fun, shot at them with a mortar. At the sound of a flying mine, everyone rushed to the ground, and after the explosion they ran to the crater to collect potatoes.
In memory of the war, I still have curved little fingers - they were bent from hunger when I was a baby.
