The wife of the commander of the airborne troops of Russia Alla Grigorievna Shpak believed that her story was the usual story of tens of thousands of women who had chosen the share of the officer's wife.

She was born in a military family and always knew that she would also marry a military man, so she was not afraid of the unsettled way of life and constant travel.

It's just necessary to live as if you are staying here for the rest of your life, Alla Grigoryevna believes.

Her son Oleg was a very welcome and long-awaited child, and the fact that he would follow in the footsteps of his grandfather and father was natural for their family.

He was not dissuaded, but, on the contrary, they were preparing for the army.

And so the fact that after the military paratroopers Oleg went to Yugoslavia, and then, after not having recovered himself in the hospital, wrote a report on the transfer to Chechnya, was also taken for granted by the parents.

If a person connects his life with the army, he must be ready for sacrifice, to the fact that anything can happen.

And this terrible thing happened.

Already having in his hands the order to end his service in Chechnya, Oleg with three comrades volunteered to accompany the military transport.

This operation was the last for the guys.

He was only 23 years old.

The main thing is to have a core inside, but you can learn everything.

So says Alla Grigorievna.

But how to live further than a mother who has lost a son?

He, of course, can not be replaced by anyone, but there is a daughter Elena, who, after Oleg's death, also went to the military school, his grandchildren grow up, the youngest was named Oleg in his honor.

Life goes on, whatever happens, which means you just need to live on.

She did not break down and was not embittered, she still remains the mainstay of the family - Alla Grigorievna Shpak, the wife of an officer.
