Abstract

The article presents the life of children of the Great Patriotic War as a social group, who had a lot of trials, but who, despite all the hardships of hard times, contributed to the universal victory. Crucial moments in children's lives are highlighted: evacuation at the beginning of the war, education and their work during wartime, as well as the daily threats and risks faced by children. The article is supplemented by eyewitness accounts, which allow for a more holistic and vivid perception of the events of that wartime, as well as Rosstat statistics and open data from state archives documents. Attention is focused on the need not only to remember the historical milestones of their country, but also to form and maintain among young people a sense of pride in their ancestors, for their exploits, and for their spiritual culture.
