Nurken Abdirov: The Youngest of My Sons

Nurken with his crew on a plane engulfed in flames crashed into the thick of enemy tanks. Dozens of fascist soldiers and officers went into oblivion with him. A terrible explosion shook everything around. So Nurken and his friend Alexander Komissarov went into immortality. In Volgograd, on Mamaev Kurgan, the very first plate is a memorial plaque made of black marble, on which his name is carved. Hero of the Soviet Union Nurken Abdirov.
