Either way, the comrades could not open the way for the brothers and sisters to return. And just like that, after 9 days and nights of searching in vain, the last breath disappeared into the void.

Then somewhere from above, your sister’s words come back, joining the words of the mountains and rivers: Those who stay, live for us!!!

“Falling body becomes the land of the Fatherland, the
soul ascends to become the national spirit”
