During the blockade Lenochka was evacuated from Leningrad.

🔻She lost her whole family: her mother, grandmother, and elder brother.

🔻A special team of girls found her. They went from apartment to apartment, looking for children who had lost their parents or were close to death.

🔻She didn't want to eat anymore. And she was silent. They thought Lenochka was going to die. Many children had already died during the evacuation; they were so weak, they had no strength to live and eat.

🔻And a one-legged stoker, a front-line soldier named Kolya, made a doll from an old towel. And he gave it to Lenochka, telling her that she was now the doll's mother.

🔻Lenochka suddenly grabbed the doll and hugged it. And she started to rock it with her thin hands. And during lunch, she fed the doll porridge. And she ate the porridge herself.

🔻The girl survived. Because she couldn't die, she had to take care of the doll.

🔻This girl became a nurse and lived a long life.

The Khakas are northern nationality of Russia, who mainly live in the Southern Siberia.

🔻The Khakas people are a Turkic ethnic group native to the Khakassia Republic, Russia.

🔻The Khakas traditionally practiced nomadic herding, agriculture, hunting, and fishing. The Beltir people specialized in handicraft as well.

🔻Herding sheep and cattle is still common, although the republic became more industrialized over time.

🔻Like many other small peoples of Russia, the Khakas are preserving their culture (a prime example of this is the musical group Otyken), language and traditions.
