The Power of Memory: To the 80th Anniversary of Victory

This year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Great Patriotic War. Many of us have family members — grandparents, great-grandparents, or other relatives — whose lives were shaped by this pivotal period in history. To preserve these memories and honor our collective history, we would like to share personal stories of Skoltech employees and students — examples of service, fortitude, and resilience.
Stories that are forever
in our hearts and memories

Да, сделали всё, что могли,
Кто мог, сколько мог и как мог.
И были мы солнцем палимы,
И шли мы по сотням дорог.
Да, каждый был ранен, контужен,
А каждый четвёртый — убит.
И лично Отечеству нужен,
И лично не будет забыт…




Жернаков Иван Миронович




В этом году Великой Победе исполняется 80 лет. Все эти годы мы испытываем чувство гордости за немеркнущий подвиг нашего народа. Сегодня можно многое прочесть о войне, просмотреть много фильмов и кинодокументов, но это уже иное восприятие, лишённое живых эмоций.

Годы идут и делают своё дело. Люди, которые способны рассказать о своей фронтовой молодости, к большому сожалению, уходят из жизни. Не было ни одной семьи, которой не коснулась бы беда. Читая и слушая рассказы о войне, я часто думаю о своих родных — фронтовиках, которых посчастливилось знать или видел на немногочисленных старых фотографиях. Но нет уже в живых их.
Многое о событиях тех давно уже минувших лет мне рассказал мой отец, Жернаков Иван Миронович.



This photo, dating back to 1943, features my 16-year-old grandfather with his parents. It represents the equal involvement of both the frontlines and the home front in the fight against Nazi invaders. The picture was taken when my great-grandfather, Andrei Terentievich Arkhipov (1904-1989), was granted leave to visit his family in Moscow after recovering from a wound. A. T. Arkhipov, recruited in 1941, was a senior sergeant in the medical service with his battalion, part of the first Ukrainian front. He was awarded the soldier’s Order of Glory for providing first aid to the wounded and saving lives on the battlefield. He also received medals for participating in the battle of Berlin and the liberation of Prague. In the post-war period, A. T. Arkhipov was honored with the Order of the Patriotic War (first degree) and the medal for the defeat of Nazi Germany.







Nikolai Andreevich Arkhipov




Both my great-grandmother, Evdokia Vasilievna Arkhipova (1903-1981), and my grandfather,
Nikolai Andreevich Arkhipov (1926-2008), worked at the Moscow ZIL factory throughout the war. They were engaged in the manufacturing of rocket-powered projectiles for the Katiusha launchers. My great-grandmother was a worker in the foundry, while my grandfather served as an electrician. They were awarded medals for the contribution to the defeat of Nazi Germany.
