Zotin, Boris Georgievich
The atmosphere was tense and it wasn’t clear what to do next and where everybody was. In 1943 they received a funeral letter. It said his father had died in a military hospital. In a year he received a notice from the military office. But by that time Boris Georgievich had become a really professional lathe operator and he hadn’t seen the war as it was. The authorities couldn’t lose such a great worker so they promoted him first to the fifth and then to the sixth category. He continued his painstaking work in the rear and it was as important as at the front.
In 1945, after the war had finished he was awarded the medal "For The Victory In The Great Patriotic War".
Later in 1963 he was awarded the Lenin award.
So, Boris Georgievich's life wasn't easy, but he managed to overcome all the difficulties with dignity.
