History is often presented to us through the lens of great powers and ideologies; however, for small communities, war is primarily an irreversible human loss and a fractured destiny.
The Soviet-German front of World War II became a cruel ordeal for Rind, stripping the village of its most vital strength. Between 1941 and 1945, 108 people conscripted from Rind never returned home.
Although the war was fought in distant Kerch, Stalingrad, or on the outskirts of Berlin, the tiller of Rind’s soil was forced to leave his vineyard and plow to take up arms for the interests of a state of which Armenia was then a part. This was a generation whose potential should have served the prosperity of their home village, yet their fates were decided in the whirlpool of global geopolitical clashes.
I am publishing the names of those 108 residents of Rind who perished on various fronts of that war. We remember them not as ideological soldiers, but as our grandfathers, brothers, and sons, whose lives were taken by the Great War.

Behind every line of this list is a human being with their own dreams and family. This is our tribute to the memory of those who, regardless of the nature of the war, showed resilience and left their lives on foreign lands, never seeing the rebirth of their beloved Rind.
