Hi! My name is Elena, I am from Russia. Im fond of history, especially in history of WWII. I live in Bryansk, this city suffered from war. I work on TV. My hobby (dont know how to name it, "hobby" sounds like smth not serious) - searching soldiers who died 60 years ago in our region. Sometimes we find documents and we try to find relatives. Wives are still alive, children, and it is very important to them to know, where their relatives, considered missing persons lay. Sorry for my English, I ll try to refresh it
Welcome Elena. It's great to have more friends from Russia on the forum. I will be glad to share information with you. There are many east front specialists here some real connaisseurs of Russian history too.
Hello Elena, Welcome to the forum. You are doing good work for the fallen soldiers. Can you show us some photos of the old battlefields ? It all sounds very interesting.

Its very interesting to communicate with speciallists from all over the world.
Welcome Elena, Huge respect to anyone doing your kind of work for the fallen. Looking forward to more photographs. Cheers, Adam.
thank you for sharing the link. I do not uderstand Russian, but by looking at the photos I believe there were five casualties found for reburial and that at the ceremony some of the families attended too, as well as a squad from their army unit. Is that correct?
Elana, Good to have you as a member, keep up with your good work on searching for the soldiers. Don't worry about your English, it is far better than my Russian. We have another member in here who speaks Russian and English very well, he can translate if you can't find the right word. But looking what you have written so far, I don't think that will be necessary.
In general, correctly. However, in coffins was not 5, but 80 soldiers. Likely, for you it will seem blasphemy. Them have buried on a memorial in the center of village where any more there was no place. There has arrived the relative of one of victims the soldier. And military men-it the frontier guards participated in excavation.
No, not blasphemy. Many war dead are buried together like that. You and your collegues are doing a very good job. Keep up the good work . How many casualties can you identify or are they unknown?
We could establish their accessory to a boundary division. Also we have found three signed things. Medallions, unfortunately, was not. They can be found out in victims in 1941. And in 1943 already were paper documents, which look like sand. Soldiers thought if they write their surname in medallion, its a bad sign. And many left medallions empty.
Dabro pajalovat, Elena...... Ya sam is Peterburga no shas jevu va Amerike. Ochen preyatna posnacometsa.
Welcome Elena, Wessex is very correct, many are buried at sea or never found at all. Your work is very much appreciated, and from the faces in your pictures, the war still has significant overtones worldwide.
