In the fall of the year, it became known that Malyavina died at 81 years of life.

A few days after her birth, the father, Alexander Nikolaevich, at that time Lieutenant Colonel of the Soviet Army, went to the front. He went through the war, was awarded the Order of the Red Star and returned home unharmed. The little daughter did not recognize him and stated that her dad was fighting with the Nazis.

They baptized her there: a second time, not knowing that Anastasia Alekseevna, being evacuated at the Lev Tolstoy station, had already baptized her daughter.
