Today, the 100th anniversary is celebrated by the front-line worker Ekaterina Stepanovna Borodai.
During the war years, she worked at the Gorky Automobile Plant and actively helped at the rear.
A hundred years have passed for the rear worker Yekaterina Stepanovna Borodai, who lives in the Avtozavodsky district of Nizhny Novgorod. According to the head of the district administration, Alexander Nagin, Yekaterina Stepanovna has lived in the Avtozavodsky district since she was 16. During the war years, she worked at the Gorky Automobile Plant and actively helped at the rear. "A hundred years is a unique milestone. Behind is a huge life filled with labor and care for the prosperity of our district. When the war began, Yekaterina Stepanovna was only 15 years old. Her generation is the generation of victors and creators. I wish her to remain the same cheerful person, to feel the support and daily care of her loved ones," he said. On the festive day, employees of the district administration and the social protection department congratulated the jubilarian and presented her with commemorative gifts. As her granddaughter Natalia shared, Yekaterina Stepanovna has a very beautiful voice. "Grandma, along with her sister, sang songs for the soldiers. They loved to hear the Russian folk song 'Valenki' the most," she shared. About her main secret of longevity, Yekaterina Stepanovna says: "I have lived my whole life in joy and love all people very much. I have 3 grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren." She celebrates her centenary surrounded by family and friends.
