Hero of the Soviet Union Tatiana Nikolaevna Baramzinu in this article I will call Tanya. She was quite young, twenty-four years old. But, apparently, life has not been measured for years.

Tanya was born in December 1919, in Udmurtia, in the city of Glazov. In a large family grew - six children (Tanya - fifth). The need did not just knock at the door of a small wooden house, but had a permanent residence permit here and kept herself mistress. The head of the family, Nikolai Makarovich, worked on the railway, fished, tried to trade baked bread. Trade was very bad, one might say, it was treading on the spot - not such a person was Nikolay Makarovich. After his death, his wife, Marfa Mitrofanovna, continued the work. She baked rye bread and sold it on the local market, but it also didn't work for her.
Tanya has been growing stubborn and very hardworking since childhood. It was she, being almost the youngest, who every summer took her brothers and sisters to collect medicinal herbs and mushrooms. The guys tried to help the mother as they could. Mastered fishing, catching crayfish.
Tanya very quickly and for all her life fell in love with reading. She studied well, graduated from the pedagogical school (external), began working in rural schools (from 1937 to 1940 years). Then she went to Perm, entered the Pedagogical Institute at the Faculty of Geography. And to help the family, at the same time began working in kindergarten.
Tanya did not say that she was a teacher by vocation, but her children loved her very much, loved to play and just talk. Only Tanya managed to put the group to bed on time. And when a blizzard or a blizzard happened, the kids ran to their beloved teacher in a race — only she could calm them down and distract them from the scandal of the impassive aunt. Looking ahead, I will say that even at the front, Tanya received letters from the head of the kindergarten, and in envelopes always found also children's drawings, made especially for her. She answered these letters, the children wrote fairy tales, interesting stories. Tried to distract from the war. Only once did Tanechka send a very serious letter to kindergarten and enclosed a postcard with a portrait of Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya - the feat of the girl shook Tanya. But back again ...
The Great Patriotic War began. Tanya could stay in Perm, continue working in the kindergarten, where they brought evacuated children. But she was determined to go to the front. I had to retrain: the girl graduated from nursing courses.
