Yeah but I'd like to know....
How long did their mother survive?
Which would be the most difficult?
Giving birth to 10 boys? OR, Raising 10 boys? OR.....
worrying about 10 sons????
Well, Kaila, I didn't raise 10 boys, but I did raise 4, and let me tell you, aside from there never being a dull moment, they tried and tested me every step of the way.Yeah but I'd like to know....

Giving birth isn't easy.
Raising children isn't easy.
But to me, the worst thing is worrying about your children even harder.

The genes are strong in that family. It's amazing how some siblings all look alike and others (like my sisters) look like we were brought by six different milk men.
A former brother-in-law had eight siblings and you could pick every one of them out of a crowd of thousands. They all looked just alike, which was rather unfortunate for the girls.

I was out of town that week, don't look at me.
"As some people here requested a bit more info about them:
Nikolai was in 45-mm anti-tank gun crew, returned home after heavy wound.
Khtodos (yep, that's a name) was in recon, lost his leg on mine near Budapest.
Mykhailo was awarded with Order of Glory (which was for lower ranks, so he likely was NCO or private) for fights in Hungary.
Pavlo was serving in PPSh-armed platoon ("взвод автоматчиков") in 1st Ukrainian Front.
Vasil was platoon commander, but he was sent to officer course after he destroyed 2 tanks.
Andrey was wounded near Jassy and after hospital he was demobilized.
Ivan ended war in Vienna, no details.
Aleksandr ended war in Berlin, and probably had chance to put his sign in Reichstag.
Stepan was wounded near Smolensk, then fought in Western Prussia, then was sent to fight against Japan but before he arrived war ended.
Petro was fighting on Far East against Japan and lost his arm".
Not sure who is who in the photo....but at least they all did not have the same first name. The probably had little to smile about.
"oh these slavs sweet smiles, love them"!
