Our family only has memories and one photograph showing our grandfather with the Order of the Red Star on his chest. Grandfather did not share his memories of the war with anyone. When the sons asked their father to talk about the war, he limited himself to the phrase: “There is nothing good there.” The family only knew that he was an intelligence officer. After the war, grandfather worked with dignity, was a good family man, he had 10 children. He died early, in 1971, at the age of 59.

Some went to the front, some stayed in the rear to work at the factory. These were people who put their soul, energy and strength of their youth into everything they did. Such people were my great-grandfathers Pavel Konstantinovich Kulak (on my father’s side) and Mikhail Ivanovich Ushakov (on my mother’s side). Both of them worked in the Marten workshop, but at different factories: Pavel Konstantinovich - at the Kuibyshev plant, and Mikhail Ivanovich - at the Uralvagonzavod.

"War through the eyes of children." Drawings and reflections

Photo report from the exhibition of children's drawings “The Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945.”

Not much time will pass and the opportunity to recreate the “living history” of the war will be destroyed forever. This is why children’s interest in the events of the terrible 40s on the eve of the 69th anniversary of the Great Victory is so valuable.

What motivates the guys, what prompts them to return again and again to the events of 70 years ago? They are looking for their past, their roots, studying the history of the war not only from fiction, documentary essays about the war, but also from the memories of their grandfathers and great-grandfathers passed down from generation to generation. The young authors recorded their stories - this is the living history of the Great Patriotic War. We, adults, understand: the worst thing that could happen to our ordinary children, who, fortunately, did not hear the howl of bombs, did not know the horrors of war, is ignorance and insensitivity. The worst thing is because without yesterday there is neither today nor tomorrow.

For the essays “War through the eyes of children”, for the respect shown to the veterans who defended the independence of our Motherland in a brutal battle with fascism, for the memory of the heroic past of our people, I thank the students of the creative association “Needlewoman”:
Plekhanov Irina
Kivilevich Anastasia
Neverov Oksana
Balanyuk Evelina
Manakhova Elizaveta
I thank the young artists participating in the fine arts competition “Forever in the Memory of the People.”
Many years have passed since the Great Patriotic War, but the stories of grandfathers and great-grandfathers resurrect the terrible image of the past, so that we know that it was so, so that we would take care of the world that the soldiers won for us. To remember the heroes who gave the Motherland the Great Victory!
The most significant day in our history. The day when Nazi Germany fell. The day when the Soviet flag was raised over the Reichstag. A day that went down in history as the day of the greatness of the Soviet Army. This day is May 9th.
On the eve of the main holiday of the country, our creative association held an essay and drawing competition “War through the eyes of children.” An exhibition of children's drawings on the theme “The Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945” began its work. The exhibition presents works in different genres. The drawings displayed in the hall are the work of our students, young and old. Some of the artists recently turned 7 years old, but their paintings are already on display at the exhibition.
June. Russia. Sunday.
Dawn in the arms of silence.
A fragile moment remains
Before the first shots of the war.

Get up, soldier!
Well, why are you quiet?!
Get up, dear!
The earth will give you strength...
But he didn't get up. The poet will write a poem,
And he will read it aloud over the mass grave.
It was forty-one. There was a fierce battle
For the Motherland, for the blue sky.
For you and I to breathe...
Let us remember those who did not come from the battle.
N. Seleznev.

And the fallen are all alive in our hearts, -
They stand silently next to us.
(V. Snegirev ■)

One of the most exciting pages in the history of the Great Patriotic War was and remains the topic of wartime childhood. Children and teenagers worked on an equal basis with adults at enterprises and on collective farms, volunteered for the front and became children of regiments, donated their savings to the USSR Defense Fund 1 and joined partisan detachments. And on the pages of newspapers, children tried to keep up with adults: for example, to the editorial office of the newspaper "Pionerskaya Pravda", as well as a number of other publications for children and youth that continued their work during the war years, children sent drawings, poems about the war and even caricatures in German soldier. Among the letters and drawings there are both childishly naive ones (see document No. 2) and letters from schoolchildren who tried to write and draw “like an adult.” In particular, the guys mastered caricatures of the enemy - a satirical genre, primarily characteristic of “adult” Soviet newspapers.

One of the most popular newspapers among schoolchildren was "Pionerskaya Pravda" - the printed organ of the Central and Moscow Komsomol Committees. With the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, the structure of the newspaper was rebuilt taking into account wartime. Since June 1941, several special wartime columns appeared on the pages of “Pionerskaya Pravda”: “From the Soviet Information Bureau”, “Pionerskaya Piggy Bank of Scrap Metal”, etc. The satirical column “On the Bayonet” published stories, feuilletons, poems, and cartoons by newspaper workers and famous writers and poets, as well as readers. We publish several children's cartoons and letters to them below.

Drawings - children's weapons

Schoolchildren, to the best of their ability, tried to participate in the activities of the pioneer newspaper. Among the drawings you can find both not very skillful and quite professional ones. One of the basic principles has passed from the “adult” genre of caricatures to children’s caricatures, which also vary in execution technique – the depiction of an enemy with animalistic features, more like an animal than a person. Soviet soldiers and nurses in children's drawings were examples of heroism and selfless service to the Motherland.

In addition, schoolchildren responded vividly to stories about the exploits of Komsomol war heroes. Thus, the drawing by V. Arkhipovsky “The Death of “Tanya”” obviously depicts the execution of Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya, who was captured by the Germans while performing a combat mission in the village of Petrishchevo. During interrogation, she introduced herself as Tanya, and for the first time they learned about her feat from the article “Tanya” by Pyotr Lidov, published in the newspaper Pravda on January 27, 1942.

Children's cartoons and drawings about the war, published below, are part of a set of documents collected during wartime for display at the exhibition "Komsomol in the Patriotic War" at the State Historical Museum (GIM).

Exhibitions about heroism

At a meeting of the Secretariat of the Komsomol Central Committee on May 2, 1942, an official decision was made to organize an exhibition 2 that would highlight the heroism of Komsomol members and youth in the fight against the enemy at the front and in the rear. Initially, the opening of the exhibition was scheduled for the anniversary of the start of the Great Patriotic War - June 22, 1942. In reality, the first exhibition was launched in 1943 at the State Historical Museum. About 40 artists and sculptors took part in the design of the exhibition. In 1944, the Central Committee of the Komsomol decided that the exhibition should display materials not only about the Komsomol, but also about Soviet youth as a whole, in connection with this the exhibition became known as “Komsomol and Youth in the Patriotic War.”

In January 1949, the exhibition “Komsomol and Youth in the Patriotic War” was included in the exhibition prepared for the 30th anniversary of the Komsomol (November 1948). In September 1949, this exhibition was named "Lenin-Stalin Komsomol". In July 1953, the exhibition was closed. Material exhibits of the exhibition were mainly transferred to Moscow museums - Historical, Revolution, and Soviet Army. Documents and some material relics were transferred to the archives of the Komsomol Central Committee. Later, the archive and museum collection of the Komsomol Central Committee was replenished with materials received from participants in the events and their relatives. Currently, the complex of exhibition documents is compiled by the M-7 fund "Documents of the exhibition of the Central Committee of the Komsomol "Lenin-Stalin Komsomol" (1942-1953)" RGASPI. Some materials from the exhibition are also included in fund N M-14 "Museum materials on the history of the youth movement in the USSR and Russia."

Published documents are stored in the M-7 fund of the RGASPI and are reproduced while maintaining spelling, punctuation and stylistic features of the texts.

The publication was prepared by the chief specialist of the department of scientific information work and scientific reference apparatus of the RGASPI Natalia Volkhonskaya.

From the title it is already clear what we will be talking about. We will study how to draw war with a pencil step by step. It won’t be Star Wars and Darth Vader, or even a shooter game, but a real war! Three soldiers in a trench, with piles of military equipment. In order to draw all this, you will need a lot of knowledge about military affairs. You can, of course, sit down to play WoT, but in the end you won’t draw anything. Who doesn’t know this is such a super action game with the participation of tanks, which has gathered a huge number of gamers in our country. By the way, the yellow-faced Chinese are no less interested in this. It seems that half of their population goes in for sports, judging by the number of Olympic medals in 2012, but the second is mired in the whirlpool of online games. For the fact that half of our population has been staring at the LCD monitor for two years now, at the same time managing to stain the gaming mouse with greasy fingers from dinner and pour coffee on the keyboard... let’s all say “Thank you” to Wargaming! Although God bless him. Now let's take a break from tanks and try to draw military actions with the participation of real ones. There are five steps ahead.

How to draw a war with a pencil step by step

Step one First, let's outline the people in motion. Head, position of the torso, arms, legs.
Step two Now let's think about what will be around our soldiers: this is a fence, stones, logs. Let's show their outlines.
Step three Let's dress our fighters: helmet, pants, boots. Let's equip one of them with a bag. Let’s draw the face profile of the one closest to us. We will surround the fence with barbed wire.
Step Four Let's add details: barbs on the wire, belts on people's clothes, a spatula, etc.
Step five Let's do the shading. There are darker areas on the clothing at the folds. Let's darken the areas on the pillars. Well, here are the soldiers against the backdrop of a military and completely unpicturesque landscape.
See similar military equipment drawing lessons.

Time passes, years, centuries, the events and experiences of the terrible war days go further and further. But they are not forgotten, so each new generation draws their fathers, grandfathers and great-grandfathers on sheets of paper, trying to capture the feat they accomplished. How to draw a war so that it does not look like a heartless drawing that will be forgotten over time, but so that it is remembered and deposited in the soul and heart of every person?

Drawing on a military theme

Before discussing the topic “war”, you should decide on several parameters. In your mind you need to imagine what the drawing will look like, what will be depicted on it.
Will it be a separate character or part of a military action? Maybe it will be an image of some kind of military equipment in the ruins of a city, or a plane in a blazing sky, or a nurse in a hospital, or an old woman looking out the window with the hope of the return of her son or husband. The main thing is that it comes from the heart. Then the image will come out with soul. No person can remain indifferent when thinking about the past and picturing war. A piece of paper conveys the state of war, the hostility towards it and the destructive consequences it leaves behind.

Color and paints of military drawing

Each person who undertakes to draw on a military theme sees his future drawing in his own color. The palette of war is multifaceted.
