Оренбургский пуховый платок

горевали, если получали известия о гибели односельчан». 121 Вместе пели песни. Одна из таких народных песен периода военных лет начинается словами: Спит деревушка… Где-то старушка Ждет, не дождется сынка. Сердцу не спится, Старые спицы Тихо дрожат в руках. Ветер уныло Гудит в трубе, Песни мурлычет Кот в избе. Спи, успокойся, Шалью укройся, Сын твой вернется к тебе. shawls were badly needed by military women such as medical orderlies, radio operators etc. During the war these products were more valuable than beau - tiful and elegant gossamer webs. At the same time women still showed interest in wearing gossamer shawls. The artistic features of a gossamer shawl were highly evaluated outside Russia. In those years the shawls were part of the scope of export to use the currency earnings for buying more planes and weapons. Trying to make as many warm clothes as they could, and reach the rigid produc - tion targets, the knitters would sit up by the oil-lamp till 3 o’clock in the morning and work. They never complained of being tired or exhausted: they realized that their labor was their contribution to the future victory. Kh. M. Mingaziyeva, 122 В оренбургской школе, 1940-е г.
