She is Alexandra Fedorovna Lavrenteva, also known as the “Mother of Heroes.” Her story became a poignant symbol of Soviet sacrifice and resilience during World War II.

Alexandra lived in the Smolensk region of the Soviet Union. All seven of her sons were part of the Red Army to fight against Nazi Germany. Tragically, each of them died in combat, making her loss one of the most devastating recorded during the war.

Despite her immense grief, Alexandra remained steadfast in her support for the Soviet cause.

Her story was widely publicized as a powerful example of personal sacrifice for the greater good. She was honored with the title “Mother-Heroine” and received recognition from the government for her and her sons’ contributions to the war effort.
