But most people still understand Vasily Mikhailovich, speak of him with approval, and support his position. The commander of the DND, Sergei Grishin, and the district inspector, Vladimir Kalyakin, speak with one voice:
— Unfortunately, there are few people like Vasily Mikhailovich — he does not try for himself, for others, for society...
...But let's go back to the Kuptsovs' apartment and look at the head of the family through the eyes of Tamara Petrovna:
— My husband is a hardworking man, very obliging, treats people well and does not remember evil... And in general, I think he did a great job, because he lived his life honestly and with dignity, including with me, although it was hard... Yes, it was very difficult, especially during the war years...
— It wasn't easy for everyone, — Vasily Mikhailovich frowns. — But she, my Tamara Petrovna, also got it during the war: she was a blockade runner, she dug trenches at Kingisepp on defensive structures. And then, throughout the war, she worked in besieged Leningrad. First as a kindergarten teacher, then as a rationer at the port... Until retirement...
Tamara Petrovna, pouring strong, hot tea into a glass, added with a sad smile:
— After all, like my husband, I also have awards: medals "For valiant labor in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945", "For the Defense of Leningrad", the badge "Veteran of the port"... But Vasily Mikhailovich, of course, has more of them, And do you know how young he was? The same as now — irrepressible!.. In the afternoon, on the Petropavlovsk cruiser, which stood in the port and fired at the Germans, and in the evening, of his own free will, he carried newspapers and letters to the sailors on sleds...
The post office was not close — at the Admiralty... But he drove — under bombing, under shelling. There's a meat grinder around, and I remember he invited me to the theater — to the musical comedy... First on the Silva, then on the Bat, "The sea is wide." It's in the blockade!.. How can you forget that?..
I listened and did not interrupt Tamara Petrovna. What she was talking about was dear and sacred to both of them...
She continued:
— And Vasily Mikhailovich's dearest friend is Fyodor Dmitrievich Rutkovsky, who served on the same cruiser during the war... They've been friends ever since—you can't spill water...
— Do you know how old Fyodor Dmitrievich turned in April? 82 years old! Merchants joined the conversation. — So, together with him, as fellow soldiers, we often visit the sponsored school — we tell the guys about the naval service, about the war...
Tamara Petrovna, in confirmation of what her husband said, gave me a huge, red with gold letters Certificate of Honor, which I opened and read:
"The Soviet Committee of War Veterans awards Vasily Mikhailovich Kuptsov for his active participation in the work on heroic and patriotic education of young people... O
