Oleg Alexandrovich Pashin_x000D_ CITY: Leningrad date of BIRTH: 13.06.1926 DATE of DEATH: 13.02.2013 HISTORY: My grandfather, a home front Worker, was Born Oleg Pashin in Leningrad, then the family moved to Moscow. In 1941, when the mass evacuation of residents and businesses began, the whole family moved to Ulyanovsk. There, in October 41, the Moscow automobile plant named after Stalin (ZIS) was evacuated. A 15-year-old grandfather goes to work in a factory. A month later, on November 30, the state defense Committee receives an order: workers of foundries, motor shops and others related to the production of engines should be urgently relocated from Ulyanovsk to the Urals, to the town of Miass. The workers who were sent there with their families again plunged into teplushki, including my grandfather and his family (parents and 2 brothers), to continue working at the factory and help our soldiers at the front to bring this day closer. Victory Day. At the factory, my grandfather lost his thumb on his left hand and got a severe burn on his leg (doctors barely managed to save his leg, as a result - a year in the hospital). My grandfather and his parents and brother still lived in Miass. The third brother returned to Moscow after the war. A bit from the history of the plant: In Miass, the construction of the military plant No. 316 began in 1939. In the frosty winter of 1941, day and night, directly from the "wheels", equipment was being installed in the open air, and by mid-summer a construction site and a work settlement were already prepared.Supply difficulties forced many of the plant's workshops to be built out of wood. Motor production was just planned to be organized on this construction site, to which a railway line had already been laid before the war. The first workshop of the Miass automobile engine plant started working in March 1942, and in April the first industrial batch was assembled. Initially, it was assumed that the plant would produce engines, gearboxes and rear axles for Moscow and Ulyanovsk, and supply casting to the Shadrinsky branch of Zisa. But the country was in dire need of cars, and the State defense Committee on February 14, 1943 made a new decision-to completely transfer the production of trucks from Ulyanovsk to Miass. The provincial city of merchants, artisans and gold diggers becomes the Ural capital of trucks. The first three-ton ZIS-5B rolled off the Assembly line on July 8, 1944, and on July 20, a batch of cars was sent to the front. On September 30, 1944, the thousandth car rolled off the Assembly line, and by the end of the year, despite the incomplete workshops, three thousand three-ton cars were built. Within a year from the date of production of the first cars, the factory team sent 6800 cars to the front and to the national economy. Ural trucks fought on all fronts of the great Patriotic war, bringing the Victory of our people closer.
