Andrey Tarasovich Golovko

Our father, Andrey Tarasovich Golovko, was born in 1925 in Bolshaya Dzhalga village, Stavropol area, in a peasant family. His father, our grandfather, worked on the land, and when the Civil war began, he fought on the side of the Reds. Having the skills of a medic, he helped the wounded and sick. During collectivization, he joined a kolkhoz, had authority among the villagers, was elected as Chairman of the audit Commission, but, despite this, was arrested as an enemy of people and sent to a camp. However, thanks to the efforts of fellow soldiers, former red partisans, and our grandmother Vasilisa Stepanovna, an illiterate woman who got an appointment with Kalinin, after 1.5 years he was acquitted and returned home. All this we know from my father, my father's parents died during the war. My father's family was large and friendly, but only four survived. Parents taught their children to work, instilled love of knowledge. Senior children received special education: senior sister worked as a teacher before the war, brother was a student in a College, but the war started and he went on to study in military school and fought as an officer and returned from the war disabled. Andrey Tarasovich fought for the cavalry as a mortar, was wounded, shell-shocked, awarded military awards: two medals "for Bravery", two medals "for Military Merit", "for the capture of Konigsberg", "for the Victory over Germany". On the website of the Ministry of defense, you can read "Andrey Tarasovich Golovko in the battle for the village of Tsyulen on 05.01.1945 continuously delivered mines to an open firing position under heavy rifle and machine gun fire of the enemy. When his horses were killed, he delivered mines on himself." Then there was a meeting with the Americans on the Elbe, there was Victory. But my father returned home only in 1948, he had to serve conscription in Western Ukraine. After demobilization, he served in the anti-banditry unit in Grozny, at that time there were many more gangs in the mountains. Then he studied at the police school in the city of Kostroma and served in the police in Grozny, Achikulak, Zaterechny, Neftekumsk. Then there was party work in neftekumsky state farm, then work in NGDU. After retiring, he was constantly engaged in public work, was the Chairman of the Council of Veterans, and enjoyed authority among the population.
