_ Now...you are the participant of the Patriotic War, aren't you?

_ Remember something about the war.

_ The war stories were so.

_ lišyāli gûešar amži las.

Here, in Jakhunderi, was founded a battalion, the battalion of destruction of landing

ameču las, žaqunders, čamoq̇alibebul baṭalion, desanṭare gamanadgurebel baṭalion.

I was a pupil at that time, in 43, I was in 10th class.

mi moc̣ape xûas ečka, ûōštxûešdisēmisa, meate ḳlasisa xûard

I was not a member of the main battalion, but I was in a reserve battalion and I was sending.

i ʒiritad baṭalioni c̣eûr mā xûasû mi, mara sarezerûo baṭalionisa xûard i xûazzədas,

Robbery also was at that time, in some armies??? Our people.

q̇ačaġobi las ečka, yerxi ǯars ??? gušgûe xalx.

They had made a landing.

desanṭar xeq̇ēdax gadmosxmul.

They took us to bridges for guarding during nights,

bogarte gûaesdax laq̇ruld lētšû.

if we would meet an unknown man, we must stop him.

ucnob mār er ogtxenōl, xaḳûč er č'ogčerûān.

Here, look, over the mountain, in January, our army had been locked.

ḳaûḳa... amxēná, saûxen, leynaḳēlix gušgûey ǯar ianûarisa.

Vadachkoria was a leader of sotnia, he was megrelian.

ûadač̣ḳoria las aseuli metaur, megrel.

It seems, they had been locked from there, which bordered Lapuri's gorge, it is Kabardo-Balkareti

ečxenisa sga loxlaḳelax, lapuri ṗereûals esazġûreb ēǯi, q̇abardo-balq̇arēt,

So, Germans had locked them, they could not come over.

sga loxnaḳēlax germanelars alyār, amxāû laqed mā xārx,

Germans are going from there.

ečxēnisa germanelar anġrix.

Apperently.\, they had sent them two horsemen,àsoàHe had sent with somebody a letter to Vadachkoria,

oxzə̄zax yeru ləčaž māre alyārte,... ə... ûadač̣ḳorias oxq̇ēûna c̣eril, eǯi,

that, look, a leadre of the German army, to Vadachkoria:

eysé, germanēlare xošas, ûadač̣ḳoryāšte:

"Yield youself prisoner, or if we come

"danebden lok, odo ži leqed lok e oxqīdex amxāû,

we don't leave just a one of you alive".

yešxûs lok dēm acûrex luars".

This was a clever leader, this, Vadachkoria, and he had written him a letter:

ale maxlyān metaur lasá, ûadač̣ḳoria, i č'otoyra c̣eril ales:

"We are without food during somedays(and nights),

"ma... lix lok umal... umad nardû lok lix ûošayġen suṭḳa, ra, ramodenime suṭḳa,

we have no food, help us, give us food and we will yield prisoners".

ûuč̣m... ûuč̣melad ûarto, daexmaren lok sursats i bardebian lok".

He sent this (letter) with Kabardo-Balkarians and he gave an order to army, that this is a case,

ali atq̇ēûne alyārs, saûyars i alyārs ubrʒana, ǯars, ere al ečxāû k'ēr ???

that they have not a guns and they have to go to us and he called here, us,

atxe iaraġ mā xuûax i lizi amxāû i dareḳa amxāû, gušgûeite.

at that time, there were not a poles, they had only cable and there was a telephone, it was some black cable,

ečkas sṭolbel māde i ḳabel xuûānx i ečeka las eǯi, ṭelepon, mešxe ḳabelil mər las mayġen,

so, "This is a case and help us"- he said.

ere "amži lok li mine bedigûeš i daûexmaret lok".

And so, they gathered us, all hunter people, whoever could come, in winter.

i ž'ogûxuryelex ami metxûiār xalx, esûay gûeymedān, luntisa.

We got on fur coats, home-made shawls, home-made wool trousers and Pachichi(special shoes) and warm cloths.

ḳēšar gûākûda, ašḳ, naǯiš ašḳi šalûar i zitqarāl i ṭebdi lerekû,

So, when we went for hunting, we were not cold.

ere laḳûcirte er ġūrdad, məcxi dēsa gûāda,

That, it was 40-50 degrees of frost.

ûōštxûešd-ûoxšdešd gradus er las eǯié, q̇inûa.

They took us with themselves to meet them and we met them at the Lapuri ravine.

ogûyex ečxāû eǯyāre lazazd i sga loxzozānd lapuri ṗereûalži.

That ravine is 6 kilometres long.

ey ṗereûal li usgûa ḳilomeṭr,

This unfusible ice! And we met them at the middle of glacier.

ale ži uḳida ûol i al ûoli laesgnun loxzozānd sga.

One man died at that place, we found him only in summer,

ešxu māre čûadgān ešču, lupxûs gar ogxûīda

and we brought them down,

i č'oxmāǯed ser alyār nay, eǯyār.

They got on high boots and boots become frosen, the boots are not like our Suni shoes (Chapuli),

čekmaral xāzdax i čekmarals šišd aḳûrēmi, eǯḳay māde, nay ḳûicrā čaplar,

look, we knew also tomi, we put in boots tomi, we called it lanchi.

c̣erekû gûixālda nay aǯaġ, c̣erekûs xonxūndad na... nanxūnûars xûaṭūldad nay eys.

We were dressed so warm that we were not cold, we were covered only with steam.

ṭebdid lərekû eǯḳayd, ere məcxi dēma, ûop gar gûāgda nay.

He said, the leader,

ey ṭulda, metaur,

that: "That if I have ten ones like you and I don't need these(soldiers) at all.

ere "gušgûey ḳalib lok xeq̇ēda ešxu yešd i alyār lok imnar xaḳu?"

All of them were good boys, but they were not dressed so well and we saved them down.

xoča č̣q̇inṭol lasx mag, mara mā lasx eyži ži lərekû i amži gadaûarčinet i č'ōnqûidd eǯyār.

It was the army of the 7th sotnia.

mešûide aseuli ǯar lasx.

And the government gave us rewards, they decorated us with the medals of Caucausus Defence.

i ǯildoel logûemx ečānġo taûrobad, ḳaûḳasyā dacûa medlar.

After, then comes the rewards to the 10th, 20th, 30th, 40th anniversaries of the victory, I have got all of them

mere, ečānġo anġrə̄da aǯaġ gamarǯûebis ati c̣lis, ûoci, ûozdaati, ûormoci, alyār mag miġebul muġûa.

At that time, the rewards were given for the work, for the good work in the community, for the participation un the front and in the back of front - everything these were united.

šromis monac̣ileoba, ḳolmeurneobāysa, pronṭi da pronṭi zurg lasx ečka gaertianebul.

At that time, a pension was given to everybody, who did his bit, who was able to work.

ečka esûā c̣ûlil xuûa, šromis unari... šromā minimum gamomušaûebul, čīs laxōmx ṗensia.

They give this to everybody, well, and a pension was given to all of them, to men and to women.

čīs čautûales aliá, omi monac̣ileobā saḳitx i ṗensia laxōmx čīs eǯyārs, zuralēls i ġûažārsi.

_ You?

_ si?

_ What?

_ a?

_ Did they give you a pension?

_ si laǯûemxma ṗensia?

_ Me also, I also have the pension for the participation(in war), 35 maneti, after they added also 8 lari.

_ miy, monac̣ilē ṗensia muġûa miy, semešdyûoxušd manat, ečānġo ara lar ž'emkimx aǯaġ

But this pension is nothing, it is too few.

i mara dēsma xepsi al ṗensiōls, ḳoč̣ōlil li suru.

The pension, which I had before, during the communists, I had 13 tumani, I could buy 8 sacks of wheat.

ečkad yer muġûān ṗensia, ḳomunisṭare šiysa, yešdsemi tumān muġûān, ara mešoḳ peks xûiq̇dis

So, my wife also had her pension and the one month's pension was enough for us from yearto year.

i amži mišgûa yexûs xuġûān ṗensia i eš gûixuṗān ešxu teûa ṗensia zayni-zayn.

Other things, other things we had also.

No more now, they began with 7 maneti and, well, now, an ordinal pension goes up to 20 tumani.

_ We have too funny pension now.

_ So was, my dear, our news(affairs).
