As RT’s interlocutor noted, Alexander Syrsky and his brother Oleg were “on their own” as children. My parents “lived soul to soul” all their lives; both were patriots and always participated in the “Immortal Regiment.”

According to the woman, they “spoiled the children with their kindness,” and now they don’t talk about their Nazi son at all, “as if he never existed.”

Olga added that some residents of Vladimir, where the commander-in-chief’s parents live, blame them for raising “such a villain.”

“I feel sorry for them as a human being. God forbid anyone have such sons,” the interlocutor added.

Earlier, RT found a letter from Syrsky’s mother to his father, who died during the Second World War while saving his comrades from the Nazis.
