The youngest veteran in Dnepropetrovsk - 84 years. To the sounds of the orchestra through a column of schoolchildren clad sailors, they went into the hall to watch a concert. There were a series of mannequins in uniform during the Second World.
On the table were placed small planes, tanks and historical dioramas. Creation of military-historical miniatures such a rare hobby. In Dnepropetrovsk, it is interested very few people. But it is interesting to consider how tiny, frozen in a moment of real, human figures.
