“... One summer I happened to visit the Red Lighthouse collective farm, in my native places, in the small but dear to my heart Tupitsino village. Here my childhood and the beginning of social activity passed. Here I was the chairman of the combo , organized the Mininsky commune and the Ovtsynovsky cult circle. It has long been, and how close ... That's why I love nature, because I grew up in this wonderful Russian corner. From the Tupitsyn mountain, at the foot of which the Volga coils, a wonderful, some kind of peculiar and attractive variegated landscape opens up to the eye. Here it is incredibly pleasant to admire the bewitching beauty of the freely spread forests, rye and wheat, flax and clover fields. I look at the bright, multicolor fields and forests and think: now there are no sticks, stripes and between, the names of the rich people of Lutkov, Bolobolins, Dirins and others are forgotten ... When I see my native places, much from the past seems to me so vividly, so visibly, as if I saw it yesterday. I remember grandfather Yashka, as everyone called him, a lot of stories of this wonderful Russian peasant, who served 25 years in the army, who died 104 years; Philip, who went twice to Peter on foot with a crooked ax, with bast shoes and breadcrumbs; Vasily - a migrant worker who showed scarring on his back and said: “I have been wearing them since January 9”; old Boykov, an intelligent and competent peasant, drowning in the Volga and thereby expressing a passive protest to the Nazis; a childhood friend, a good peasant and joiner, who was at one time chairman of the Krasny Voyin collective farm Vasya Nikolaev, who died at the front with two sons; my comrade Yegor Volkov, a security officer, a member of the first Rzhevsky executive committee ... Other dear images, my fellow villagers, pass before my eyes. In the spring of 1918, eight peasants left our village as volunteers in the Red Army - Andrei, Grigory and Pavel Ivanov, Mikhail, Nikolai and Yegor Volkov, Alexander Boykov and Fedor Golubev. One of them survived - Grigory Ivanovich Ivanov. 22 people participated in the Patriotic War, 17 people did not return from the front. Mentally calling these 24 comrades who did not return to their native village from the battlefields, I took off my hat and bowed low. I cherish the memory of you. For me, you never died, I sacredly carry you in my heart ... "
