Couple Reunited After 60 Years

Posted by Alex in Everything Else on January 15, 2008 at 5:18 pm


Sixty years ago, Boris and Anna Kozlov were married for only three days before he had to ship out with his Red Army unit. When he returned, Anna and her family was gone – exiled to Siberia by Stalin’s purges.

Then one day, on a chance encounter, they found each other again!

“I thought my eyes were playing games with me,” Anna said. “I saw this familiar looking man approaching me, his eyes gazing at me. My heart jumped. I knew it was him. I was crying with joy.”

Now 80 years old, Boris had returned to visit his parents’ grave. As he stepped out of the car, he looked up to see Anna standing by her old house, where they had lived for the few days after the wedding.

“I ran up to her and said: ‘My darling, I’ve been waiting for you for so long. My wife, my life…’”

    um, Russians. It was most likely translated Russian and probably is probably akward looking in English.

    what a depressing story. wasted life alone from each other? :-(

    also : " visit his parents’ grave. As he stepped out of the car, he looked up to see Anna standing by her old house"

    She lived next to a graveyard?! Aaaahhh!

    Aww... isn't that the cutest thing... I'd imagine a heavy weight was lifted off their shoulders once they saw each other again after so long.

    I wouldn't be too surprised if this is entirely made up.

    Wow. How did they recognize each other after 60 years of aging?

    @MrPumpernickel: I wouldn't be too surprised if this is entirely made up.

    Perhaps this story would've been more believable if it turned out that they were twins separated at birth.

    Ah, so it seems that the Interweb has made cynics of us all!

    I believe it. You'd be surprised how true this can be even in this day and age. Some people do wait a lifetime for a loved one to come back and sometimes that love keeps them going.

    Imagine the difference between being reunited after you've long given up and being reunited after always keeping this person in your heart.

    Some people are irreplaceable.

    Ha! sweet memories from past communist times!

    How come he didn't die in the Goulag? Know what? They were getting soft.
