The fourth height. Ilyina E. Ya.

Elena Ilyina, like her brother S. Marshak, was engaged in pytheve craft- translated from several languages, wrote stories and poems for children. Her works were printed in many famous children's magazines - Murzilka, Pioneer, Kostra and others. The greatest fame of the talented writer made the novels of, at first glance, ordinary girls- Katya Sleep-Gireva (“this is my school”) and the rumble of Koroleva (“Fourth Height”). In our publication, the story of Elena Ilyina is “a clear height”- a biographical story, telling about a simple fate of a simple girl, a girl, Gule Koroleva, who lived a very short (only 20 years!), But an interesting, rich life! The Gulya died at the front during the Great Patriotic War, struggling for her next “height”, saving the lives of the wounded, taking them away from the battlefield under bullets.
