Eternal memory and eternal glory to millions of home front workers, who died of malnutrition and diseases, but who had been forging the victory at the machines and open-hearth furnaces, in the fields and on farms until the last minute of their lives. We give a filial low bow to all those thanks to whom our Udmurtia our whole country has been living and working peacefully for 69 years already.
