We, the
comrades of Unit 1012, will honor and remember Russian Child Diarist, Tanya
Savicheva every year on July 1 and January 23, as it was her birthday. We, the
comrades of Unit 1012: The VFFDP, will make her one of The
82 murdered children of Unit 1012, where we will not forget her. Let us
remember how she lived and not how she died, do read her diary. She was like
the Russian version of Anne Frank.

Tatyana Nikolayevna Savicheva
(Russian: Татья́на Никола́евна Са́вичева), commonly referred to as Tanya
Savicheva (January 23, 1930 – July 1, 1944) was a Russian child
diarist who endured the Siege of Leningrad during World War II. During the siege she
recorded in her diary the deaths of each member of her family, eventually
believing herself to be the only one left alive. She was later rescued and
transferred to hospital where she died in July, 1944. Her image and the pages
from her diary became symbolic of the human cost of the siege and she is
remembered in St. Petersburg with a memorial complex on the Green Belt of Glory along the Road of
Life.
