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

This man is on the list of 100 great diplomats who left a mark on the history of mankind. It was he, Count Ignatieff, at the end of the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-78, who signed the Treaty of San Stefano, which liberated Bulgaria from five hundred years of Turkish slavery. Thanks to him, not only Bulgaria, but also Serbia, Montenegro and Romania became independent states. Without it, the map of not only Europe but also Russia would look different.
