Garden named after T. S. Botheva M.A.

How sometimes it pulls home! And the homeland - here she is - very close, after a couple of quarters. Sveta and her three brothers - Gleb, Vaska and little Sashka - run there with pleasure. Indeed, in the homeland there is a favorite old house (with a attic!), Overpowing unnecessary items, overgrown with a wild garden. And not just the garden - but the name of Comrade!

But wait until the garden does not have a name! First, the whole large family will move to a new apartment-in a huge house on many, many floors. Then in a heavy box with photos there is a picture of Trofim Savoskin-19-year-old great-grandfather poses on the streets of Berlin in May 1945. Vaska will fall in love with grandfather-hero in absentia and tell everyone around him. But then a large test awaits the light and three boys - they have to defend their homeland!

Can the past affect us? To the surprise of the characters of the story, as it can: thanks to the great -grandfather, whose feat almost sunk into oblivion, the life of the family will change sharply and irrevocably. For the better!
