Starting conditions
People whose childhood fell on the war years had to endure many difficulties. They grew up in basements and semi-basements under the explosions of bombs and shells. Looking at the adults, the kids also wanted to go into a bayonet attack. But dispassionate reality ruled in its own way. Boris Petrovich Gitin was born on January 20, 1937 in an ordinary Soviet family. Parents lived in Moscow. My father worked as a mechanic at the famous Hammer and Sickle plant. Mother is a nurse in the district clinic. When the war began, my father went to the front in the ranks of the Moscow militia.
Boris together with his mother experienced a war in the capital. They could have gone to evacuation, but they decided to stay. My father returned from the war disabled and after a short illness he died. I lived on one nurse's salary. After graduating from seven classes, Boris decided to enter a factory trade school. The school trained workers for the Likhachev automobile plant. Gitin learned to be a milling machine operator. He started making good money. It is important to note that even in his school years, Boris actively participated in amateur art shows. He performed on stage and at the school.
