Olga Medvedeva's husband will not return. He was killed in shelling in April last year. They have been married for almost 17 years, says Olga, they also have two sons, and they constantly remember their father.

- It's not easy, but we're holding on. They really miss their dad. Get bored. The younger one endures very emotionally, and the older one, on the contrary, has withdrawn into himself, - Olga Medvedeva, the widow of a member of the war, admits.

Yes, it's hard, but apparently such a fate, Olga believes. A photo in her husband's tunic is a sign of support and confidence that the soldier is loved and waited for. Even if he is now only in the memory of his relatives.

- This is important to me. I want him not to be forgotten. So that people know that we have a lot of brave, brave men in Russia," says Olga.

Writing from Olga to Andrey

A year ago we saw you for the last time, I congratulated you on your birthday, knowing that in the morning you would fly away to where you were not destined to return ...
Apparently anticipating such an outcome, you left me and the children farewell letters, it is very painful to read them now, and what was it for you to write them ...
You are our Hero, an example for many, not only for your sons, they will always look up to you and know that their father until his last breath was not just an officer, but a Man of Honor, never making a deal with his conscience, even for his own benefit, and faithful to his homeland and oath to the end!
And for me, you will forever remain the best of men, in which strength and tenderness, endless care for me, children and your loved ones were miraculously combined.
You and I created a wonderful family, we succeeded, we could, which means everything was not in vain!
And just like you in my letter, I will repeat, I do not regret anything in this life, but it is a pity that I did not have time to turn all dreams into reality!.. And my heart aches for the fact that fate was so unfair to you!..
... I love and feel endlessly, you are always there!..
