Then, back in the Soviet school, in Baku, events dedicated to my mother were held. Elmira Huseynova, a Russian language teacher with her students, congratulated their mothers and grandmothers, who were invited to the event.

Initially, the writer Ilya Kamenkovich told the children that Mother's Day is being held in other countries. There was no such holiday in the USSR, and the schoolchildren decided to congratulate their mothers.
