Zhetpisbaev Baltabek_x000D_ _x000D_ Rank: Major. Branch of service: army, air force (except marine aviation), the coast guard, the troops of the NKVD border troops. Division: 8th guards rifle Rezhitskaya order of Lenin red banner order of Suvorov division named after I. V. Panfilov. Baltabek Dzhetpysbayev was born in 1907 to a peasant family in the village of Murat Zhana-semeysky district of Semipalatinsk region. A career soldier who was drafted into the army in 1931, his father graduated from the Tashkent military school. Fought with the robber bands, and was included in the Book of honor of SAVO. Since the formation of the division, he was the Komsomol of the 1075th rifle regiment, which was glorified by 28 Panfilov guards. On October 15, 1941, in the first battle with the Germans near Moscow, he was the first to hit an enemy tank. This was a feat in itself, since the armored vehicles that poured machine-gun fire on everything were disconcerting to the untrained soldiers. For three days the company held back the enemy, who were striving to Volokolamsk, and from there – to Moscow. For these and other fighting Baltabek of Zhetpisbaev was awarded the order of the red Star. And on July 23, 1942, the command of the 8th guards division presented him with the title of Hero of the Soviet Union for special courage and bravery. He himself did not know about this idea and fought until the end of the war: liberated Belarus, Lithuania, fought in Prussia, participated in the storming of Konigsberg. After the victory, he was sent to the Japanese war. He stayed in Pyongyang for two more years as part of the troops in North Korea. He was discharged in 1947 for years of service with the rank of major in the guards. In military conditions, the submission to the title of Hero of the Soviet Union did not get to the appropriate authorities in a timely manner. In 1959. it was accidentally discovered in the archive of the USSR Ministry of defense. Three times (1961, 1967, 1971). the Central Committee of the CP of Kazakhstan petitioned the Supreme Soviet of the Union to award Baltabek Jetpisbayev the high title of Hero of the Soviet Union. Dimash Akhmedovich Kunaev sent a personal letter to Brezhnev, but the issue was never resolved positively. In August 1971, Baltabek Jetpisbayev died.

Danielyan Smbat (Symban) Melikovich_x000D_ _x000D_ Rank: Colonel. Danielyan Smbat (Symban) Melikovich. In the magazine of the Central Committee of the Communist party of Lithuania "Events and time" No. 14, July 1982 (index 76787), an article was published by retired Lieutenant Colonel Dmitry Ryabov "Feat of the Neman" about three military generations of the Danielyan family: grandfather-Colonel, Danielyan Smbat Melikovich, father-Lieutenant Colonel, Danielyan Norayr Sumbatovich, brother-major, Danielyan Sumbat Norayrovich. Here is an excerpt from this article concerning my grandfather.... "I often visit the most beautiful corner-close and dear to the heart of every Alytus. An obelisk with an enlarged order of the Patriotic war is attached to it. On the sides of the obelisk are massive bronze plates with words in Lithuanian and Russian that are etched into the memory: "Glory to the immortal deeds, glory to the fallen heroes! Around eleven blue fir trees symbolizing the feat of soldiers of the 11th guards army who liberated the city. And the original decorative fence. All this is a crown of heroism, a tribute to love and respect for the soldiers of the war. Right next to the obelisk, the graves of the dead. I read their names: "Guards Lieutenant V. Kalinin, private A. Tikhonenko, Colonel S. Danielyan" and dozens of other names. I was particularly interested in Colonel S. Danielyan. I wanted to find out where the front roads brought him to our region, what feat he performed in the name of people's lives on the banks of the Nemunas? The search lasted about three years and was crowned with success: documents were obtained from the archives, meetings were held, exciting conversations with the son and grandson of the Colonel… Soviet power in Baku was proclaimed on the sixth day of the revolutionary coup in Petrograd. On December 16, under the chairmanship of V. I. Lenin, the Council of people's Commissars discussed the situation in Transcaucasia. It was decided to appoint a member of the Central Committee of the RSDLP(b), Chairman of the Baku Council Stepan Georgievich Shaumyan as temporary Extraordinary Commissioner for the Caucasus, until the formation of Soviet power in the region. From Petrograd to Tiflis, where the Caucasian regional Committee of the RSDLP(b) was located, S. A. Ter-Petrosyan (Kamo) delivered a mandate signed by V. I. Lenin to Shaumyan. Going from Baku to Tiflis alone for Shaumyan is a risky business. Comrades called the names of fellow travelers. Someone said: - Sumbat Danielyan is the most suitable candidate. - This, you know, somehow does not fit together: an officer of the tsarist army accompanies the Extraordinary Commissar. He can also escort you to security. The audience laughed, and S. Shaumyan became interested: And who is this fine? - Recently returned from the Turkish front. Originally from the Armenian village of Chardakhly. He is twenty-two years old. He is an energetic and fearless person. One of the first in the army to go over to the side of the revolution. We decided to take a roundabout trip through the high mountains and deep gorges of the lesser Caucasus range. On January 17, 1918, the travelers reached Chardakhly safely. - You are now on Betaking? Twenty versts along mountain paths and gorges. And there are bandits all over the road. "But there is no other route," Shaumyan said. They came up with an idea: they staged a wedding trip. Sumbat Danielyan, a slim, fit and young officer, really looked like a groom. The" planted father "Stepan Shaumyan rode in the midst of the "wedding" motorcade. In those years, the young country of the Soviets from all the suburbs, like cockroaches from the cracks, climbed enemies. In the spring of 1918, the Turks attacked. And a horseman with a sword on a dashing horse flashed by on the banks of Sevan. Sumbat led his cavalry into battle. In one of the fights, he was seriously wounded. Having linked his fate with the red Army, Sumbat Melikovich goes through a glorious path from squadron commander to battalion, and in the pre-war years teaches at military schools in Transcaucasia, in Alma-ATA and Dnepropetrovsk. great Patriotic war. Communist Danielyan goes to the front. He is appointed commander of the 38th separate rifle brigade. This happened near Moscow, during the most difficult days for the capital. The brigade commander has his place in battle. But sometimes the situation develops so that the senior chief, along with the soldiers, goes into the heat of battle. So it was on the near approaches to the capital. Units of the neighboring unit retreated. Kombat Danielyan received an order: to hold the Germans in this area, and then knock them out of defense and wedge into the enemy's battle lines. The first offensive of the brigade's soldiers was unsuccessful. That's when the battalion commander gave the order to take out the Banner. With a group of submachine gunners and Riflemen, he rushed forward. The commander of the Kalinin front, Colonel-General I. S. Konev, presented Danielyan for the award, wrote: "In the battles, the brigade commander personally led the attack of the fighters, showing bravery, perseverance and decisive actions. As a result of this attack, the battle order was executed: the enemy was stopped, knocked out of defense and put to flight. Eight localities were liberated and many trophies were taken. For exemplary performance of a combat mission, for bravery and courage, I present to the award-the order of the red banner." Sumbat Danielyan was awarded the order in which he commanded, and was awarded the honorary title of the guards. War is war. Recently, the brigade commander and his soldiers were honored with a victory near Moscow, and the Sovinformburo reports already reported: "in the area of Mozdok, the soldiers of S. Danielyan's unit repulsed several enemy attacks during the day, destroying seven tanks to two hundred Hitlerites." Some time later, he distinguished himself in the defense of the city of Ordzhonikidze. The soldiers of Danielyan's unit overturned the Nazis with a strong counterattack. In this battle, the commander was twice wounded. He would have left the battlefield after the first wound, but he continued to lead his subordinates, inspiring them to the feat, and remained at his post until he fell from the second wound. He didn't like to spend too much time in hospitals. And soon, his name and deeds were heard in the cities and villages of Belarus and Lithuania. Confidently, he led the guards in the offensive to the West. After the war, the former commander of the 11th guards army, General of the army Hero of the Soviet Union Kuzma Nikitovich Galiysky will write the following lines about the brave commander: "...After conducting reconnaissance, the advanced battalions began to force. But it was still slow, as the enemy from the West Bank met the crossing units with heavy fire. Then Colonel S. M. Danielyan with the division's artillery commander and a group of staff officers went to the river. All the guns and mortars were moved here. Powerful volleys they suppressed a significant part of the enemy points. Under cover of artillery fire, the crossing resumed." The second order of the red banner was added to the military awards of Sumbat Melikovich. On July 19, 1944 in the life of the commander of the division was a joyful, exciting event: the commander of the third Belorussian front hero of the Soviet Union army General Ivan Danilovich Chernyakhovsky on behalf of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR awarded the order of the red banner, the Colonel Danielyan - the Patriotic war, first degree. Hundreds of soldiers and commanders were awarded high government awards. Sumbat Melikovich wrote to his wife: "Dear Araxia, We continue to fight with the Left. He's already a senior Lieutenant. Together with all we are driving the enemy to the West. We will soon win and return home, never to part with you again. What have you heard about Norika? What front is he fighting on? Take care of yourself and wait for us... " And a week and a half later, a letter from military friends and comrades-in-arms was sent to Baku from Simias: "Dear Araksia Martirosova! We, comrades of the guards of Colonel Danielyan Sumbat Melikovich, Express our deep condolences on the untimely death of your husband. Together with You, we mourn and bow our heads over the ashes of our beloved commander, under whose leadership we passed a difficult but glorious military path..."it Happened on July 30 at 14: 30. Early in the morning, he went to the observation post, where he watched the battle. NP was located in a small house of a peasant of the Aleksandras of Rutkauskas, who lived near the village Melaleuca. The circumstances forced us to resort to this option: there was a bare field all around - no hillock, no tree, no shrub. At 13 o'clock, the Germans, quite unexpectedly, began to shell the house. Maybe it was generosity, kindheartedness, or maybe a burst of courage that called him closer to the battlefield. Only he did not want the war to leave the peasant homeless. And the Colonel decided to move to the division's command post. After thanking Lutkauskas, he went to the checkpoint in a car with his son Levon and staff officers. Two kilometers East of Simnas, they were attacked by six enemy Focke-Wulf-190 dive bombers. A bomb exploded near the car, was killed Sumbat the M. and Lavon is seriously injured. (He died of his wounds shortly after the victory). The comrades-in-arms finished their letter with these words: "The sad news of the commander's death quickly spread through the battle lines of the units. Guards with a cry of: "Avenge the enemy for the death of the commander" rose in a rapid attack. By the morning of the next day, we had driven the Germans 25 kilometers West of Simnas. Araksia Martirosova! We, the companions and followers of the military cause of Sumbat Melikovich, promise You to beat the hated enemy with even greater force and avenge him irrepressibly and mercilessly." The guards kept their word: they fought hundreds of kilometers to Konigsberg. They stormed the fortress and hoisted the battle guards banner over the capital of East Prussia. It should be noted here that Levon Smbatovich Danielyan, the son of Colonel Smbat Danielyan's guards, also participated in the initial period of the battle for the Caucasus. Commander of the air defense platoon of the 68th marine rifle brigade of the 18th army, chief petty officer Danielyan L. S. in the battles from July 26 to October 4, 1942 in the area of the village of Kuleshovka, Peshkovo and Kura-Tsipe, not only shot down 2 enemy aircraft " Messerschmitt -110 "and one" Junkers-87", but with his DShK machine gun repelled a seeping group of enemy submachine gunners in the area of the brigade's command post. For these feats, the brave soldier was awarded the order of the red Star by the order of the commander of the black sea group of troops of the Transcaucasian front No. 044/n of November 5, 1942. In 1944, on the first Baltic front, he was an aide-de-camp to his father, Colonel S. M. Danielyan.

Dogaev Peter Ivanovich_x000D_ _x000D_ Rank: Red army Unit: 245th rifle Valginsko-Rezhitskaya red banner division in 1907, Pyotr Ivanovich Dogaev was born in the village of Sonino, Oryol region. His parents were farmers. Since childhood, he has known hunger, various types of hard peasant labor. Then on huge and boundless territories not only full-flowing rivers bubbled, pranksters-streams rang, one after another collective farms were created. The peasant poor were United to work the land together. In the village with the affectionate name of Sonino, a collective farm named after Kalinin was formed. None of the villagers in those days did not know how to organize collective labor, helped the peasant efficiency and ingenuity. In 1928, my great-grandfather Pyotr Dogaev went to study tractor driving courses, and in 1930 the first tractor came to the village. It was as if Pyotr was effortlessly driving a powerful car across the field. In the summer, the village was slaughtered with bread, and in the fall they gathered a rich harvest. Tractor drivers were respected by everyone living in the village for their hard work, conscientiousness, generous heart, and willingness to always come to the rescue. In the summer of 1941, the war began Peter Ivanovich, like many in the village, went to the front. He was assigned to the 898th rifle regiment, 245th division. At the age of 34, he stood up for the defense of the Motherland. He fought to protect his land and was wounded several times. In 1945, he crossed the Oder. It was necessary to capture a bridgehead on the West Bank and hold it until the main forces arrived. The commander of the regiment, Lieutenant Colonel Nikolaev, understood that there was no way to break through head-on, there were few forces and people who had seen a lot in the war were tired. The commander agonized over what to do to prevent casualties and destroy the machine-gun points. Nikolaev knew his soldiers well, so he chose private Pyotr Dogaev to perform. The task was difficult. The night had come into its own. This is what Dogaev took advantage of. On a steep wave, drenched to the bone, he made his way to the Western shore. One by one, he destroyed the enemy's machine-gun points. Lay down in a crater, led a destructive fire on the enemy. The Nazis took it for a landing. The machine gun of the brave warrior worked flawlessly. Meanwhile, without waiting for dawn, Nikolaev raised the regiment and the soldiers went to cross the Oder with improvised means. Soon the regiment firmly straddled the captured bridgehead. The regimental commander expressed gratitude to Pyotr Dogaev and the army commander said that this was a heroic feat that will never be forgotten. The Motherland will highly appreciate the courage and bravery of a soldier. Only 17 sotintsy were lucky enough to cross the threshold of their home in the spring of 1945. A wounded soldier, Pyotr Dogaev, with orders and medals, and a thin white-washed duffel bag, appeared before his family. The soldier returned to the ashes, horses were stolen, there are no cows, mechanized tractor equipment is a ball-everywhere to roll, and the land is waiting for the grain grower, life goes on. He took the tractor team on his shoulders, and with teenagers and front-line soldiers who arrived, they began to collect tractors bit by bit. About Bogaevski crew talking in the area. Employees headed by Pyotr Ivanovich were distinguished by high professionalism and responsible attitude to business. Pyotr Ivanovich died in 1980. After his death, a letter came to the village from Vilnius. Lithuanian local historians found the award list of private Dogaev. Almost 40 years later, the Order of the red star and the Lenin medal were looking for their hero. They presented a five-pointed maroon order and a medal to their wife Matrena Dmitrievna. Almost 70 years ago, the Great Patriotic war ended. For history, it can be a brief moment, for people-a lifetime. Time flies like the wind, years flow like rivers. As the cliffs stood heroes, immortal is their feat. We, the younger generation, need to know what life and death, war and peace are, and at what cost we won the great Patriotic war. Children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren appreciate and are proud of their ancestor Dogaev Peter Ivanovich. His life feat. He is an example of living and future descendants.

Alexey Konstantinovich Dolzhikov_x000D_ _x000D_ Rank: Second Lieutenant military branch: Land forces, air force (except naval aviation), coast service, NKVD troops, border guard Unit: 219th rifle Idritskaya red banner division My great-grandfather Alexey Dolzhikov was born on March 23, 1924 in the village of Rogovatoe, Starooskolsky district, Belgorod region. I would like the Heroes to be known not only by their names, but also to know their exploits, to recognize them by sight, which is why I want to tell you the story of my great-grandfather, to share his memories, which we fortunately managed to record and save.- Grandfather, tell me about the war, - I persisted and persistently asked to remember the events of the past years. There were many things I didn't understand at the time, but questions flowed in a steady stream. I'll sit on my grandfather's lap and whisper softly:"Tell me, dear grandfather, and I will be silent!" I will listen to everything you want to tell me, And I will not turn around and interrupt! I want to hear about the war, how you fought, how in a battle so far away you saved the banner! Tell us about your military friends and grandfather. And in the album yellowed photo show! He smiled at his grandfather's grandson and hugged him to his chest:"I'll tell you all about it, of course, since I promised!" How we survived the war, how we went to our deaths, how many miles we traveled in mud and dust! As the enemy with fights we drove from our native land, we did not give up an inch - we survived, we could!"On February 7, 1943, I was called up by the Shatalovsky RVC to join the red army. He put on a soldier's greatcoat and went to war, to fight for his native land, on which the enemy German foot had set foot. My combat career began in the training battalion of the 169th rifle reserve regiment. After taking the oath on February 23, 1943, he joined the newly formed company for training scouts. We came to the village of Velikaya Pisarevka, Sumy region. Night. About 12 o'clock the captain comes running and says: «Alarm». They formed up and began to withdraw to Belgorod. We came to Tomarovka on March 18. Belgorod was already occupied by enemy tank forces. We then go to Oboyan in the morning. They came to Oboyan, handed over their weapons, ate, spent the night, and went to Prokhorovka. Spent the night - on the Crust. And classes go with us (platoon commanders, departments). From Korcha we reached Stary Oskol.On March 22, 1943, the Kursk bulge was formed. The command was replaced. Vatutin was appointed instead of Golikov, Malinovsky instead of Vatutin, and Talbukhin instead of Malinovsky. After three months of training as a Sergeant, he was sent to a platoon of foot reconnaissance of the 375th regiment of the 219th idritskaya rifle division of the 40th army of the Voronezh front, which took part in the battle of Kursk from 11.07.43. During the battle of Kursk, I remember almost every battle, but you can't describe or tell everything. The summer of 1943 was to be a "moment of truth" for both us and the Nazis. Either the Red Army will be able to finally seize the offensive initiative and defeat the most powerful German group since the beginning of the war, or the enemy will again be able to overturn our troops, as it did two summers in a row, and Moscow will be under threat for the second time during the war. In defense, we stood in front of the New Berezovka Rakityansky district. At the sugar factory in the forest, we were divided into three parts: combined arms, scouts and mortars. I got into a group of scouts. Several times I went on a mission, the purpose of which was to get the language in any way. Once, we managed to capture 8 people of the military guard at once. A rare case! If you tell anyone, they won't believe you! After that, I was put on an observation post in front of Novaya Berezovka. I had to carefully observe everything that was happening around me, register and report the situation to headquarters in the evening. It was necessary to find out what movement the enemy was making as they prepared to attack. On July 5, when the enemy went on the offensive, our division was withdrawn from the defense. A March was made in the direction of Oboyan, and on July 8, the division arrived in the village of Novenkoe in the Ivnyansky district. 3-4km South-West of the village of Novenkoe there is a Thick tract that was occupied by the enemy. The division, transferred to the 6th guards army, took its first battle on July 9. The first fight… Our regiment is ordered to " stand to the death." Bombers appear. They drop bombs on our rear and move on. We managed to destroy one of the enemy planes. At the time of the appearance of the aircraft, German tanks and infantry attacked. At one kilometer, the number of tanks reached a hundred or more. Two walls were moving towards each other. We were supported, as it turned out later, by 14 "Katyushas", which gradually approached our place. They were only beaten with termite, which instantly ignited everything. The first attack was repulsed. After that, about thirty minutes later, the bombers again flew, after which the tanks reappear. A Volley Of "Katyusha". The attack is repulsed. And so four attacks. The order to "withdraw"followed. We, as scouts, went ahead. The enemy conducted continuous offensive battles, but could not advance to Oboyan.After 15 days of continuous fighting, there were 6-8 men left in the companies. But the village, we have New released! In July, 1943, when the Red Army led an offensive in the Kursk-Oryol direction. And now a monument to the soldiers-liberators of our 219th rifle division, who gave their lives for the liberation of the village, has been erected in the Tolstoe tract. On July 26, we were replaced by the troops of the Steppe front, and our division was transferred to the Kalinin front. On September 16, 1943, he was slightly wounded. Recovered quickly. And fight again! My great-grandfather Alexey Dolzhikov was awarded the Order of the red Star for his courage and bravery in the fight against the enemy, for his work in training the platoon personnel, and for the fact that the platoon did not have a single case of violation of discipline during the March. Then there was the 3rd Baltic and last southern group of troops, the Austrian city of Graz.

AUTOBIOGRAPHY I, Ivan Ivanovich Dontsov, was born on November 22, 1922 in the village of Kontributsevo, Danilovsky district of the Stalingrad region in the family of a poor peasant. Dontsov's father Ivan Yegorovich, born in 1893, was engaged in agriculture before collectivization, and in 1929 joined the agricultural artel "Svet", the Kontributsevsky village Council. And in 1935, he began working as a procureer from the Elansky railway station and currently works as a procureer of the Danilovskaya zagotkontory.

Division: 5th mixed aviation division. War is the destruction of old lives, orphaned children, death and injury, hunger, poverty and fear. They are hunched mothers who wait every day and every night for their sons to return home, who have already died defending their native fields. War is a time of showing courage and bravery at the front and in the rear of the enemy. Everyone knows that the Great Patriotic war is a huge emotional wound in human hearts. This terrible tragedy began on June 22, 1941, and ended only after four difficult years. A huge number of people died in this war. My great-grandmother, Alexandra Ivanovna Kostyuk, was born in the village of Voznesenskaya in the Labinsky district. Her family consisted of six people. When the war started, my great-grandmother was eleven years old. But in her memory there are memories of the difficult wartime. June 22 was the bitterest day in her memory. It was Sunday. Her father-Domnitsky Ivan Gerasimovich, worked at that time as a gardener on a collective farm, was not of military age. In November 1941 my father said to my great grandmother: "I volunteer to join the army, I have to defend my Homeland, and you, my daughter, study and work." In the village of Kushchevskaya on August 2 at 14.00 there was a battle called "Kushchevskaya battle". My great-grandmother's father took part in it. He died saving his friend Kalmykov. Kalmykov remained on the battlefield wounded, Domnitsky Ivan Gerasimovich crawled up to him. The father of a great-grandmother picked up a wounded friend, and suddenly a low-flying plane appeared, which ended the lives of soldiers. They were killed before they could hide. After the war, my great-grandmother's family was poor, but they were all rich in their souls. To this day, Kostyuk Alexandra Ivanovna remembers the last instructions of her father: "Learn, daughter, we will break the enemy, life will be good." My great-grandmother will not forget these difficult days. In the Victory Park of the village of Kushchevskaya, the addresses of the victims were found during excavations. My great-grandmother, Kostyuk Alexandra Ivanovna, met with eyewitnesses of those events. And she learned from them how her father and two brothers had died. And all the witnesses vowed to put up a monument to the heroes who died and never forget them. In the village of Voznesenskaya, Labinsky district, in the Museum, a lot is known about the Kostyuk family of Alexandra Ivanovna. My great-grandmother's family has been connected to the Kushchevskaya land for 70 years. They often visit the memorial and the Museum where photos of my relatives are collected. My great-grandmother has one wish: "So that children who now have a happy childhood, never saw and did not survive those days of the great Patriotic war!!!» I would like all people on Earth to know what war is only from the pages of textbooks. May there never be another war on Earth!
