The war came to Pskov when Vera Tsoblina was 8 years old. Instead of school, she learned to survive on the streets of her hometown. The winter of 1941-1942 was particularly cold. Children often ran to the railway to look for pieces of coal that did not burn to the end in the locomotive furnaces. Once during such a "foray" children saw stacks stacked along the canvas of the railway. They thought it was wood. But these were the bodies of Soviet prisoners of war frozen in ice – here they unloaded a whole train in which no one survived. These terrible "echelons of death" came to Pskov throughout the first military winter. close

We are looking for ourselves (our place) in the disturbing present, in the vague future, sometimes looking into the past, we avert our eyes in fright. Meanwhile, in our country, not on that European patch where we hustle, constantly complaining, but on the whole vast Russian expanse, another life breathes. It depends little on everything that is commonly called the values of civilization, but it breathes deeply. The harsh nature of the north, vast deserted expanses, sea and river fisheries, as one of the main sources of life support, all this formed a unique way of life for Russia, its own culture and even its own special language, which Lomonosov attributed along with Russian and "Little Russian" to the three main Russian dialects. All this together created a completely special human type, a special “Pomor character”, rooted in the White Sea land and absolutely self-sufficient in this rootedness. close
