Military Moscow will forever remain in our memory with its severe alertness, lack of people on the snow-covered streets and posters on the houses: "Native landmother calls!" this poster made by the artist Irakli Toidze - almost the most known in the history of those years.
But not many people know that in the woman from the poster was the real prototype. When on the radio they declared war, one of russian ladies, the wife of the artist of Tamara Fedorovna Toidze ran into into the workshop of husband with the cry "war!" "Stand so, do not move...",- he answered to hir. Through several days the poster was finished. In the June morning, in that stunning moment Tamara became the personification of all women of young and old, by which fell out during this day the heavy lot to accompany sons to the war. And this gesture, which she, Russian woman, for herself unnoticeably adopted in the compatriots of the husband of Georgian ladies and which was so she was familiar to it, it helped to create for artist his better creation. In the heaviest time of the year forty first this poster could be seen on many streets of Moscow, on its stations, in the shop windows of stores, in the plant shops.
Thus the fate of real people merges with the fates of heroes, giving to them unique features, making them nearer and more intelligible to us, people living nowdays.
