Dubravnaya (Eremenko) Lyubov Filippovna Rank: Senior military Branch: NKVD and NKGB troops (except border guards). I want to tell you about a wonderful woman, my aunt. Lyubov Filippovna Eremenko (Dubravnaya) was born in Armavir, June 16, 1924. In 1941, she graduated from 10 classes of school No. 1 (now secondary school No. 7) A hard fate befell the girl. In 1937, my father died, and my mother left the family and moved to another city. Lyuba was brought up in the family of an older sister who had her own children. In 1942, the Nazis came to the city. Cold, hunger, devastation… The young patriot has not lost her sense of responsibility for the fate of her homeland, her people. After the liberation of Armavir from the Nazi invaders, in January 1943, the girl went voluntarily to the front. Lyuba was a natural lyric soprano, and knew many Russian and Ukrainian songs. Soon the girl was noticed and invited to the army ensemble at the 9th army. With the front-line concert brigade, she traveled along the front line. Her performances were very popular with the fighters. No wonder they called her "dove". Concerts were held day and night, and often the fighters immediately after the performance of the concert team, went into battle. The artists were repeatedly bombed and shelled. Once, Lyuba was seriously injured and spent more than 6 months in the hospital. As a result of severe contusion of the ball is lost to the ear. After discharge from the hospital, he served in the 1st women's special rifle regiment, which was formed in the city of Kimry and trained snipers, radio operators, and cooks for the front. During the half-month, the girl took an accelerated program of cooking courses at The main quartermaster Department of the red Army in Moscow. She graduated from the courses with excellent results, receiving the rank of petty officer. And here again, the 2nd Belorussian front, front line,..... rifle regiment. With large thermos flasks, under fire, this fragile young girl delivered food to the front line to the soldiers. With bloody battles, our army advanced into the lair of the fascist beast-Germany. A simple Russian girl named Luba, Lubasha, Lyubov was walking the hard paths of war!!! Victory met in the city of Liegnitz, and in October 1945 was demobilized. For her feat of arms, she was awarded orders and medals. Many residents of our city know Lyubov Filippovna well, who has worked in the healthcare system for more than 40 years. This is a sympathetic, honest, kind person, ready to come to the aid of people at any moment. For us will forever remain in the memory of those who crushed the enemy on the battlefield and forged the Victory. At the cost of incredible efforts, they protected our land and brought peace.
