On September 15, 1942, not far from the village of Semiluki, a simple Russian woman, Praskovya Ivanovna Shchegoleva, performed an unprecedented feat. At the cost of her life and the lives of her children, she saved the pilot of a downed Soviet Il-2 attack aircraft, Mikhail Maltsev, from death.

On September 15, Praskovya Shchegoleva, along with her young children, nephew, and elderly mother, were digging potatoes in their own garden in the village of Semiluki, occupied by the Nazis. Suddenly, a Soviet plane appeared over a hill on the outskirts of the village, sharply descending. And indeed, a few moments later, the plane caught the edge of the hill, slid on its belly, stopped right in Shchegoleva’s garden, and caught fire. Praskovya and her family quickly ran to the burning attack aircraft, threw earth on it and helped the pilot, who was slightly wounded, to get out. Shchegoleva immediately sent her children for men's civilian clothes, and she quickly explained to the pilot how to get out of the village. As soon as the pilot managed to hide at the house, the Nazis drove up in a car. Praskovya Ivanovna warned her family that she would answer all questions herself. Shchegoleva answered all the fascists' questions in monosyllables: "I don't know, I didn't see." Then the Germans beat her eldest 12-year-old son Sasha and locked him in a barn, threatening to burn him alive. This did not help. Then the Germans began to set shepherd dogs on the young children and Shchegoleva's old mother. This also had no effect. Then the brutalized fascists shot the children in front of their mother, and then killed her too. Praskovya Shchegoleva's four young children, the youngest of whom was 2 years old, her 5-year-old nephew and 72-year-old mother, perished together with her. Mikhail Tikhonovich Maltsev, a pilot of the 825th Assault Aviation Regiment of the 225th Aviation Division, who was saved by Shchegoleva, actually managed to get out of the village, but was unable to cross the Don. He decided to hide in one of the abandoned houses, and at night to get a boat and try his luck the next day, but was handed over to the Germans by one of the local residents who noticed him. Maltsev ended up in a concentration camp, but survived, returned home to Bashkiria in 1945, and was awarded the Medal "For Courage" and the Order of the Red Banner of Labor. The following year he came to Semiluki to pay his respects at the grave of his savior. That same day, he identified one of the women working in the collective farm field as the man who had betrayed him to the Germans... For her feat, Praskovya Ivanovna Shchegoleva was posthumously awarded the Order of the Patriotic War, 1st degree. The story "Praskovya" by Yevgeny Veltistov and the poems of Mikhail Isakovsky are dedicated to her.

Simple, Elegant, and deadly. This may look merely like a decorative saber, but This is one of the strongest, fastest lightsabers in existence. It is specially made to work in even the worst of conditions, with a hilt made of cortorsis for added protection. Only a trained Jedi has the ability to use this weapon, because there's a complex mechanism inside that needs to be worked by the force to activate the blade.

The dark area at the top was a tedious slog, but otherwise a decent, if not contrived, puzzle. I could see it framed and hanging in a restaurant.

 

That must be the second bottle of wine, because there's no way those two glasses were poured from it.

my scanner kinda messed these up

Simple is the life, I follow. I have history I cannot ignore, which makes me different. I have two choices, remeber or ignore.

Every one thing makes us different, I can understand those who have not developed there own personality, to take the piss. I believe, it's a learning curve. Like a badly treated dog, I can or have to believe in mankind, is ok, else I'd fall well behind. Education is important, manners is far more important. The love of nature, and feelings is a gift.
