My family isn’t an exception: my great grandfather contributed to great victory. My great grandfather’s name is Gridin Michael Fedorovich. He was born near Armavir, Krasnodar region. Later he with his family moved to Zadonsk, Lipetsk region, where still my grandparents are living. Before recruiting he was attorney’s assistant. When he went to the front, he was twenty five years old and left his wife and his baby. In wartime he supplied food to blockade Leningrad. One day, when he again did his dangerous work, he was mortally wounded and died. He was buried in 1943 on the Piskarevsk cemetery in Moscow not far from central alley. This photo is the only thing I have from my great grandfather. I am proud of my ancestor because he was protecting his family, his country and didn’t afraid of loosing his life!
