I have mentally walked the streets of my green Voronezh many times. The three -story avenue of the Revolution with funny calls of trams, blue lightning, flashing on wires, two streams of people, up to the late night moving under the trees towards each other, shuffling along the asphalt of one huge sole. The brightly lit entrance of the DKA is the house of the Red Army, the eyes of girls, festively shiny in the light of lights, the sounds of a military orchestra from the park.

And always at the entrance to the park - flowers. At first, thin bunches connected by thread, then lilacs, lush bouquets, then roses - they immediately stood on the asphalt, in water buckets and sprayed with water, and the guys gave them to the girls. I have not seen so many flowers in any city. In no city in the summer evenings, the streets do not smell like so tobacco and petunies.

Or maybe this is why it seems to me that Voronezh is my hometown?In the Koltsovsky square, every day they laid flowers on a green flowerbed for a year, number and month. Then the Germans came, and time stopped ... But the city in which we were born, ran to school, fell in love for the first time - that city is gone. He died under the bombs, was blown up by the Germans during the retreat and lives only in our memory ...
