Thank you, Marat, for your touching message and the poem.
Having seen Mikhail Kalatosov's wonderful film, The Cranes Are Flying, a couple of times, it was not until today that I learned the import of the cranes in flight. Now I fully understand Veronica's change in mood at the train station, when she witnessed the flock of cranes cruise overhead. Urusevsky's photography has those winged beauties firmly entrenched in my brain.
And, as an aside charm for me, I coincidentally belong to a First Nation band, Mississauga, Blind River, whose dodem is Jejauk, the Crane.
Thank you for these lines. These brave people are not dead, they just passed on into the eternal thereafter to be with GOD and to live on in peoples' hearts. May GOD grant them eternal peace and joy.
Marat's book needs to be translated in english, it is a book about the Russian warriors during the most difficult year of SMO - the year of 2022. I will drink tonight and I will not forget the third toast. Rosul Gamzatov very well known poem "Cranes" translation into English kind of ..sucks though, sorry. This poem has a music to it by one of the Soviet composers Yan Freinkel , it's a song my generation grew up with ; this song also was played during the memorial for the victims of a terrorism in Crocus City near Moscow in March of 2024...
Thank you. At risk -- palpable -- of being hauled up on a charge of self-promotion, I mention this, for which I used both of those videos, with others, to decorate a post featuring President Putin's New Year Greeting And Well Wishes:
A beautiful story, a sad story, one does not win a war as it is a victory that is a cost of lost lives and weeping mothers and fathers. May there be silence, no more guns or the sound of fallen soldiers as they breathe their last breath. No more sorrow, no more death. Victory is only when the white dove is in flight.

Jelena and myself will be translating it as soon as we can!
Awesome. Happy New Years!
This is the true Russian psyche! Respect.
There are so many stories, recollections of the events; some told and so so many forgotten. Lost in time !
A year that goes away, another that comes!
At the end of this year, I send you my best wishes for happiness, prosperity and success.
May the new year that is opening be for you a serene and fulfilling year, filled with moments of sharing and sweetness.
Cheers to all the warriors, living and passed !
You are all heroes to me.
🇷🇺
Hope their sacrifice will not be in vain and Russia secures the security it deserves!
