Ryabtsev Vladimir Filimonovich_x000D_ _x000D_ Rank: Red army soldier. My uncle, Vladimir filimonovich Ryabtsev, was born in February 1923 in Moscow. Received education (7 classes). In 1938, he entered the school of the FZU of the Manometer factory as a locksmith's apprentice, from which he graduated in 1939. After that, he worked for 2 months at the Manometer factory. (Work record from 15.01.1939) in 1940, he got a job as a locksmith in the artel of metal repair. In the certificate from the house management it is written that "Ryabtsev Vladimir filimonovich, who lived in Moscow on Presnensky Val, 16, sq. 55, left voluntarily to the red army on July 15, 1941." He was 18 years old. Volodya was sent to a military school in Moscow. Lyskovo, Gorky region (now Nizhny Novgorod region). His mother and younger daughter were in evacuation in Tatarstan, not far from Kazan. And one day in December 1941, my mother found out that Volodya was soon finishing his military school, and they would be sent to the front. My mother left Tanya with her eldest daughter, Klava, and went to see Volodya before sending him to the front. But when I arrived in Lyskovo, the guys were already sent. There were no letters from Volodya during the whole war. My mother was very worried about the fate of her son. And after the war, I made a request to the military enlistment office. In response to the request, she received a notification dated November 29, 1946: "Your son, red army soldier Ryabtsev Vladimir filimonovich (born in 1923), a native of Moscow, while at the front, went missing in June 1942." in 1995, I also made a request to the Central archive of the Ministry of defense about the fate of uncle Volodya, but the answer was the same. Later I found in the Moscow book of memory of 1941-1945, volume 11 (P – S), on page 235 the entry "Ryabtsev Vladimir filimonovich, born in 1923 in Moscow. Red army soldier. He went missing in June 1942 at the Novashino station in the Nizhny Novgorod region."
