The Find a Soldier
project has begun working in Russia, TASS reports. It helps to establish the fate of the ancestors who fought on the fronts of the Great Patriotic War. The service works free of charge.
It is enough for a user to go fill in a simple registration and leave information about the war participant in the war: name, surname and year of birth. All stages of the search work are displayed in the user’s account, as well as all the information found.
For those who are engaged in information search, the site provides an opportunity to systematize the work, which, in turn, will expand the volume of processed applications. Specialists and search volunteers will upload all data, including copies of requests, to various archives and departments.
It is planned that in the future the site will turn into a database that will combine both official archival materials and documents stored in families.
The service organizers have no doubt that every front-line soldier, home front worker, partisan, all participants of the Great Patriotic War cannot disappear from the memory of their descendants. Search work replenishes family archives, which will see the great-grandchildren of the heroes and the next generation.
