Marian Slovachevsky (1910 - early 2000s). My grandmother's cousin. Order of the Patriotic War 2nd degree. Deputy Commander of group three of the underground sabotage organization "Patriot" of the Nikolaev Region, Ukrainian SSR. The group consisted of about 30 guerrillas, underground fighters of Nikolaev Region. The groups were managed by Fyodor Klyuyevsky and his Deputy, a resident of the village of Kiselevka, Maryan Slovachevsky through leaders of groups of 3-5 fighters. Fyodor and Maryan were well aware that there could be no partisan mobile detachments, as in the civil war, in our steppe region. Therefore, they organized underground work in a different way. They equipped radio stations in Nikolaev, at the station Greigovo and in the village of Kiselevka for listening to "sovinformbyuro", conducted more than 800 sessions of radio posts, distributed about 4 thousand leaflets. They got their people to work for the occupiers: on railway transport, military facilities, in agriculture (in the leadership of the Regional administration of German state property, in the farms of Zhovtnevy, Snigerevsky, Bashtansky Districts). In the autumn of 1942, in the spring and autumn of 1943, the fighters of Klyuyevsky, by artificially infecting livestock with foot-and-mouth disease, disrupted the invaders' campaign of mass slaughter and theft of cattle. In addition, underground fighters conducted reconnaissance work of defensive structures on the outskirts of Nikolaev, released about 200 prisoners sent by the Nazis to Germany, and about 75 prisoners of war from the concentration camps "Temvod" and "Vodokachka" and transit trains. The liberated were transported to the Znamenskiy forests in the Kirovograd Region, to the partisans. They collected weapons and ammunition, arranged caches for their storage, prepared people for armed actions against the invaders when the front was approaching. From April 1942, Fyodor Klyuyevsky became the leader of group 3 of the underground sabotage organization "Patriot". They successfully implemented their actions from September 1941 to March 28, 1944. During this time, they destroyed about 60 enemy soldiers and officers, 1 locomotive, 14 wagons and platforms, 4 tanks, 3 Ferdinands ,2 wagons of shells, 35 tons of fuel, 2 aircraft, a battery building, 1 armored personnel carrier, 2 cars, 1 fuel tanker, 2 motorcycles, as well as about 50 wagons of agricultural products, 12 kilometers of railway, etc. Underground fighters constantly kept in touch with the Headquarters of the partisan movement of the 3rd and 4th Ukrainian Fronts and the underground resistance of the city of Nikolaev. From January 1942 to December 1943, the intelligence information collected by the group about the Nazis was transmitted behind the front line through the partisan detachments of the Znamenskiy forests. In the first days of November 1943, Stanislav Grinkevich, Peter Zubovich, and Marjan Slovachevsky derailed the military echelon of the Nazis on the Zaselje-Novopetrovka stage. Train traffic was suspended for 2 days. On March 1, 1944, Mikhail Shevchenko, a demolition man of the 3rd Ukrainian Front from the special group of captain Ivan Grishin, arrived to Fyodor Klyuyevsky at the Greigovo station. He arrived to perform a special task, but the unexpected happened — the head of the operation, Ivan Grishin, disappeared. After an unsuccessful search for him, on March 5, Fyodor Klyuyevsky began preparing his group for the task of the command of the 3rd Ukrainian Front. Maryan Slovachevsky, Stanislav Grinkevich, Semyon Lyakin, Pavel Zinkevich, using the technology of the Shevchenko bomber, completed the task of the command on March 12, 1944. It consisted of disabling the railway section of the Nikolaev-Zaselye route. An armored personnel carrier, which was going ahead of two railway trains accompanied by an armored train to Snigirevka, was blown up by two anti-tank mines and two artillery shells three kilometers from the station Zaselye. In the morning, our planes bombed the trains. Romanians and fascists could not escape by train from Snigirevka to the defensive lines around Nikolaev. What Grishin's special group had to do together with T. Morozov's organization was done by the sabotage and intelligence group #3 "Patriot", under the leadership of Fyodor Klyuyevsky. Group #3 - "Patriot" participated in detection and capture of 22 executioners of Nikolaev Rigeon, five of whom on January 12, 1946 were hanged on the gallows established by them opposite the house #36 on Soviet Street. The headquarters of the Partisan Movement of the 3rd Ukrainian Front recognized Fyodor Klyuyevsky as an active underground fighter, and the State Security Committee of the Soviet Union (KGB) as an experienced intelligence officer. His experience was used for training young officers in the years of the Great Patriotic War. Maryan Slovachevsky - honorary citizen of the city of Nikolaev. For a long time headed the Department of education of the Nikolaev District. He died in the early 2000s.
