Thanks for sharing this. It's good they invited Dmitry Kuznetsov's family to the Transfiguration church on Seven Winds—sounds like a meaningful way to remember him for the younger ones in the parish.

It’s good that Dmitry Kuznetsov’s relatives were invited, especially for the children in the parish. Let them see a living example of how a person fulfilled his duty to the end. In our church such meetings are always memorable.

I agree, Roman, this is important for our guys. After such a meeting last year, my nephew even drew pictures about duty and service. Did you bring your children to this meeting with Kuznetsov’s relatives?

Софья Павлова

Yes, Roman, especially when children hear not just words, but from those who knew him from childhood. After the last such meeting in the church, one moment remained in my head - how Dmitry wrote in a letter home that “it’s not scary if it’s for your own people.” I didn’t take my children this time, they are still small, but I will definitely do so in the future.

Yes, I brought my eldest son last year, he was still in fifth grade then. After the meeting, he asked for a long time about the service and how Dmitry Kuznetsov carried out his comrades. And your nephew is great, the drawings are well remembered.

Yeah, inviting the family really makes it personal. My neighbor's boy is in the parish youth group and said hearing the lieutenant's mother speak hit him harder than any lesson. Good they keep these stories alive for the kids.
