The Great Patriotic War

Rank: Junior Lieutenant. On 19.08.1941, I was drafted into the Red army by the Novozybkovsky city military Commissariat of the Bryansk region. By that time, German troops occupied the city of Gomel. German tanks, having broken through the defense of our troops in the Smolensk direction, moved to Bryansk. We could not travel by rail to the city from Novozybkovo to our destination. Our team of 69 people selected to man the internal troops of the NKVD at 23 hours was sent on foot, giving us 3 carts drawn by horses for things. We went to the city of Orel mostly at night. Passed, areas such as Pagari, Starodub. Trubchevsk is within 500 km. Upon arrival at the station Zmeevka it is 50 km. from the city of Orel, we were placed in the buildings of the state farm: a school, a club. They began to conduct classes with us, and also involved us in the restoration of railway tracks after German air raids. In September 1941, a train arrived at Zmeevka station and we were sent to our destination. I arrived in Saratov-2, we were shod, dressed and enlisted in the 121 regiment of the NKVD troops of the 33rd division. At the end of the training center, I was assigned to the team for the defense of the bridge over the Solyanka river. The headquarters of the company was located at r. Red Kut. When the fighting with the Germans began on the outskirts of Stalingrad, an anti-aircraft battery was installed to defend the bridge over the Solyanka river. In cooperation with anti-aircraft gunners, the garrison personnel repeatedly repelled a German air RAID on a protected object, which contributed to the regular delivery of military supplies for the defeat of the Germans at Stalingrad. So I served in the 121st regiment of the internal troops of the NKVD until January 1945. The regiment, in addition to solving the main tasks, was involved in performing tasks to ensure the combat activity of troops within the rear borders of the 2nd Stalingrad front.

My grandfather, Kuzma Mikhailovich Kitaev, was born on 13.12.1910. in the village of Ermish, Temnikovsky uyezd, Tambov province (now Ryazan region), in a well-to-do family of a descendant of Odnodvortsev (great-grandfather Mikhail was engaged in flour milling, owned a mill, and a strong farm). Before the war he lived and worked in the city of Namangan, Uzbek SSR. In July 1941, he was called up by the Namangan GRVK to join the red Army and was assigned to the 44th cavalry division, which was formed in the Tashkent region near the city of Chirchik. From August 27 to September 17, 1941, the division, as part of the 4th cavalry corps of the 53rd army, participated in the joint British-Soviet operation to occupy Iran (operation Consent), whose government, at that time, was loyal to Nazi Germany, which posed a real threat to the southern borders of our homeland. Until the end of October 1941 44 cavalry division stationed in the city of Mashhad (Iran), after which he was sent to the Western front near Moscow. As a telephone operator of the 29th separate communications squadron, as part of the division, my grandfather passed the crucible of the Moscow battle. In April 1942, after heavy human losses, the 44th cavalry division was disbanded. My grandfather served in the 1st Guards Cavalry corps. Since May 1943, the senior telephone operator of the battery of the 49th separate guards mortar division (the famous "Katyusha") in the corps, which was renamed the 1st Guards Cavalry Zhytomyr red banner Corps.SNK of the Ukrainian SSR.

After the Victory and demobilization, my grandfather married (second marriage, first son-Yuri Kuzmich born in 1936) to my grandmother-Vera Trushkina, who worked at a factory in Gorky (Nizhny Novgorod) during the War. My father Mikhail Kuzmich was born in 1946, and in 1951. my aunt-Valentina Kuzminichna (the family at that time lived in Gorky). In 1953, my grandfather, on the Komsomol ticket, went to Kazakhstan on virgin Land, and then took his family to a new place. In peacetime, my grandfather worked as an accountant. In the summer of 1978, after a serious illness, he died. He was buried in the cemetery of the village of Kirovskoye in the Leninsky (now Uzunkolsky) district of the Kostanay region. Low bow and eternal memory to my grandfather! In my memory, he remained a kind and cheerful person.

Rank: Red Army Branch of military: Land forces, air force (except naval aviation), coast service, NKVD troops, border guard Division: 129th rifle division (1st formation) My grandfather, Vasily Ivanovich Kostylev, worked on a collective farm before the war. He was a foreman, farm Manager, and before the war – Secretary of the Zaretsky village Council of the Makaryevsky district of the Kostroma region. In July 1941, he went to the front. First, he fought on the Western front, then the 129th rifle division, where his great-grandfather was a telephone operator, was transferred to the Northwest as part of the 1st shock army. The North-Western front, whose formations were fighting in the area of Staraya Russa – is perhaps the most famous front of the great Patriotic War." And if there is poetry in the war, we were a page of prose, " Mikhail Matusovsky said about the North-Western front. In February 1942, an offensive operation began near Demyansk (Staro-Russian district of Leningrad, now Novgorod region) to encircle and destroy six divisions of the 16th German army (100,000 soldiers and officers). Hitler called the Demyansk bridgehead "a pistol aimed at the heart of Russia" and demanded to keep it at all costs. The offensive of our troops began on February 13, even before the approach of artillery and tanks. Overloaded supply stations did not allow the army to create head warehouses of ammunition, fuel and food by the beginning of the offensive. Snowstorms on February 13-14 further complicated the situation. On February 15-17, the weather was clear. This was in the hands of the enemy's aircraft, which bombed and shelled the battle formations of our units. Despite the most difficult conditions, by February 20, the enemy was surrounded. The Demyansky cauldron, which became a hellish cauldron for hundreds of thousands of soldiers and officers of both the red army and the fascists, held the enemy aviation units that were so lacking at Stalingrad. Front-line correspondent Boris Bialik dedicated the following lines to the soldiers of the North-Western front: "they wrote less about you than about others. You were rewarded less frequently and more sparingly. Almost no solemn order of the Supreme Commander was dedicated to you. After all, you haven't taken cities for a long time. You didn't take anything. You only went back a little through the swamps and came back a little. But because you retreated a little, and because you were advancing again, you could take cities on other fronts. And how much each little one cost you. Glory to the soldiers of the Bolotny front! " on January 23, 1942, my grandfather wrote the last very short letter, in which he reported that their unit was being sent to a new location. And soon my grandmother received one after another two funerals, which read: "Your husband, Vasily Ivanovich Kostylev, born in 1905, in the battle for the Socialist Homeland, loyal to the military oath, showing heroism and courage, was killed on 18.02.42. g. in d. Andronovo (and in another – 15.02.42 in the village of Bolshye Grivy) Staro-Russkiy district of the Leningrad region". At the request of the village Council, whether there was an error, the regiment received a response that " the notification was made on the basis of documents found when the victim was killed. The village of Andronovo and Large Manes are close by. The fighting for these villages took place from 15.02 to 18.02 42 years." Along with the notice from the regiment, they sent a photo from the party ticket – the only one left from my grandfather. And there are still letters. Short, touching, with questions about the house, about children, with bows to relatives and friends. Not a word about the war. And about yourself: "...don't worry, currently alive and well." Letter from the front a Crumpled piece of paper, glued together in a triangle, marked "Military censorship checked", as you were waiting, losing peace, the most welcome greetings to the front. In pencil, in an illegible handwriting, hastily written line after line. Each letter is painfully familiar, each reads: "How are you at home? Is the bread removed? Is there a lot of hay mown? It's a pity that the potatoes are not very good. Give my regards to the kids. You really feel sorry for them, don't scold them too much. I know you have a hard time on your own, and you're both On the farm and at home. Be careful, don't get sick, Take care of yourself and your children." The minutes of calm passed quickly, and the letter was too short. And just a few words about myself: "Don't worry, I'm alive and well." A crumpled piece of paper, glued together in a triangle, with a stamp: "Military censorship checked" for Many years as a memory we keep about my grandfather, who did not return from the war. (Limonova Olga Anatolyevna) In 2015, I found the burial place of my grandfather in a mass grave in the village of Braklovitsy in the Starorussky district of the Novgorod region. In the summer of 2016, my niece and I visited the grave. Seventy years have passed since the great Victory. I'm finally coming to you.

Mother Kekalo (Lakiza) Maria Andreyevna-Kuban Cossack, father Kekalo Afanasy Sergeevich worked in the blacksmith shop of the Stalingrad tractor plant during the war. The family had five children. In 1937, together with his family, he moved from Slavyansk-on-Kuban to Stalingrad. In 1941, the war began. Alexey Afanasyevich was 12 years old, he, like many children, was taken to the factory to work. From July 4, 1944, he worked in the blacksmith shop of the Stalingrad tractor plant, testing pumps for tanks. I was very tired, so I slept near the machine, because I didn't have the strength to go home. The children didn't finish their meal. From food, they gave a little bread for the whole working day, and worked for 12 hours. He lived with his parents in a dugout. The city was rebuilt from the ruins for many years. In 1950, my grandfather was drafted into the army and served on Sakhalin Island and the Kuril Islands. In 1954, he was demobilized and worked on the construction of the Volga hydroelectric power station. Participated in the construction of Mamayev Kurgan.

Rank: Red Army soldier. Branch of military: Army, Air Forces (except naval aviation), Coast Guards, the troops of the NKVD, Border Guards. Division: 2nd Moscow rifle division of the people's militia (Stalinsky district). He was born in a large peasant family. Communist. Participated in the civil war. From the first days after the establishment of Soviet power, he worked where the party directed. Worked in Yegoryevsk and Shatura districts and Zaraysk. In Zaraysk, he was, as they would say now, a hospital administrator. In 1927, he came to Moscow with his family and worked first in Metrostroy, then in the Kalinin Executive Committee. The family settled down to live in the working town named after Bauman (Izmailovsky island) in a rented apartment, occupying a "corner" in a large room with huge ceilings, in the building of the Northern soldiers ' corps, the former Nikolaev hospital for veterans of the War of 1812. The family of the often inebriated owner also lived in the same room. The wall of the "corner" being removed, adjacent to the Pokrovsky Cathedral, was wet, and in winter it froze. Before the war the family moved to an unpretentious wooden house on Mochalski (now St Ibragimov) street. Grandfather had already fixed it: replaced the rotted floors, made a pile around the house, covering it with slag. The family had four children by this time. In June 1941 Dmitry Fyodorovich was in his fortieth year, and was not subject to conscription in the first days of the war. But like many, he wanted to protect his Homeland. The War was not a complete surprise to him. Thinking people have sensed its approach for a long time. The working day was lengthened, it was forbidden to change the place of work, and other toughening of labor legislation was introduced. Dmitry Fyodorovich told his wife that war is inevitable and will be "not for life, but to the death." As soon as the call to the people's militia was announced (July 3, 1941), my grandfather immediately enlisted as a volunteer and was mobilized on July 9, 1941. My grandfather's friend Kosarev (unfortunately, my mother does not remember his name and patronymic) served in the same division and often went to Moscow (the militia were supplied with food from Moscow warehouses). With it, my grandfather could send infrequent messages to his family. In one of them, he reported that they were located near Mozhaisk. And my grandmother did not hesitate, taking her daughter with her. I went to visit my Mitya. It was the end of August 1941. We got to the meeting place for more than a day, changing trains. Civilian trains passed military trains. Leaving early in the morning, they did not reach the place until the evening of the following day. As my mother recalls, they were standing with my grandmother at the edge of the forest, and columns of soldiers were walking past them. And mom suddenly saw her father walking to the right of the column, and rushed to him. It was a miracle to find him among the mass of soldiers. My father told them to wait for him here in the forest, and by nightfall he came to them. Dmitry Fyodorovich lit a fire and built a hut out of branches for his daughter. Tired of the long ride and waiting, Rosa fell asleep, while Dmitry Fyodorovich (Mitya) and Pelageya Andreyevna (Lelya) sat by the fire all night. At dawn, the service was waiting for him, and his wife and daughter had a hard road back to Moscow. This was their last meeting Grandfather went missing in October 1941 in the battle of Vyazma. In the last letter of September 14, 1941 (Active army, division 929, ORB), he congratulated his son Vladimir on his birthday, wrote that he was alive and well and that "they have not smelled gunpowder yet". (Maybe this phrase was to calm the family) Unfortunately, the letter was not saved. But I remember this worn piece of paper that my grandmother kept. Dmitry Fyodorovich's eldest son, Vladimir (born in 1925), graduated from the artillery school in 1943 and ended the war as a commander of a mortar platoon in December 1945 in Hungary. Daughter Rosa - my mother, from the age of 14, worked at the Moscow factory No. 67, collecting grenades and shells, was awarded the medal "for valiant labor in the second world war 1941-1945", the medal " 800 years. Moscow", Anniversary medals.

The connection was formed as part of the implementation of the decree of the state budget of the USSR No. 459 SS of 11.08.1941 [1].

In March 1942, from 75 CD already remained crumbs and what was left of the division, went to the staffing of the 1st and 2nd Guards Cavalry divisions. Belov's corps fought in the encirclement until June 1942, along with partisan detachments that captured the city of Dorogobush. In Mosolsk was about 2 thousand wounded, who were in 22 PPG and were subsequently distributed to villages. In the reports of irretrievable losses of the 1st GW. KKO losses of 75 CD were nothing about him. I found only 5-10 people from Novosibirsk on medical clinics and that's it. Still in Belov's group there were 114,115,116,117,118 ski battalions. Perhaps many of the fighters remained in the partisan detachments of Zhabo, Grachev and others.

Rank: Senior sergeant. Branch of military: Artillery. Division: 52nd rifle division (1st formation). We have long been searching for the burial place of our grandfather, Ilya Petrovich Karpov, who died near Rzhev in 1942. He is one of the 30 million Soviet people who gave the most precious thing he had - his life, for our great Motherland. His fate, like a spikelet, in a huge field of human destinies, burned in a terrible fire, already far away, the great Patriotic war. Just as the bitter smoke of a burnt-out grain field hurts our eyes, so the stories of ordinary people who did not have time to live, have and raise their children tear our memory and our souls. Many of the facts of their biographies are hidden from us for many years, but what we know about them should be kept as a relic, as a piece of history, from which the entire history of Russia is sewn. Ilya was born in 1916 on the farm Pustoshka, Maksatikhinsky district of the Tver region, not far from village Vorotilovo, in a large peasant family. From an early age, he helped my parents as much as he could, and he knew how sore my hands were. Ilya was a good student at school, especially good at math. In 1937, it was time to go to the Red Army, and as one of the most literate, he was called up to the artillery. The Soviet-Finnish War began. Since November 30, 1939, gunner Ilya Petrovich Karpov, like other soldiers of the Red Army, bravely fought the enemy on the Karelian isthmus. Staunchly endured all the hardships and hardships of the "Finnish" campaign. Shortly before the end of the "winter" war, on February 13, 1940, he was taken to hospital, wounded and seriously contused. Then he returned home to be treated. Despite his poor health, Ilya became actively involved in the difficult life of the village. He built a house for his elder sister with his own hands. He became a little stronger and went to the city of Kalinin and got a job at a Car factory. He mastered the profession of a welder, but he managed to work at the factory quite a bit: on June 13, 1941, the Zavolzhsky RVC Kalinin was again called up to the red army. A few days later, a terrible disaster struck our Homeland: Nazi Germany treacherously attacked the Soviet Union. Only fragmentary information has reached us about the further fate of Ilya Petrovich. Served in various fronts honestly and bravely. In the terrible confusion and chaos of the War, only a few messages from him were able to reach his mother. In one of them it was told that their division was on formation in Kolomna and soon goes to the front. In the last letter, which came in 1942, Ilya said goodbye to his family and said that there were terrible battles under the city of Moscow. Rzhev, and if the following letter didn’t come come, let them not consider him alive. There were no more letters from him… Only official notification came that Ilya Petrovich Karpov had gone missing in May 1942. After the War, a colleague of his son wrote to his mother and told her that Ilya had died in a terrible battle and was buried in an unmarked mass grave on the outskirts of a small village in the Smolensk direction. Ilya's mother, Matrena, was denied a pension by the state for the loss of her son. Until her last days, her mother tried to find the grave where her Ilya was lying. We repeatedly applied to different authorities, but in vain...Representatives of the Zavolzhsky RVC Kalinina in 1953 came to ask his mother about what they had heard about his son… Did he show up after the war... they took all his son's letters… In the recently opened archives, an award list was found for Ilya Petrovich Karpov. It says that during the fighting in the area of the city of Rzhev... in August, 1942... years ago, Karpov's team destroyed an anti-tank gun, smashed 2 Bunkers, suppressed 4 machine-gun points of the Nazis, destroyed 2 trucks with infantry and 2 guns, as well as at least a platoon of Nazis. For this example of skill, bravery and initiative, the commander of the gun batteries of 76 mm guns of the 439th rifle regiment of the 52nd rifle division, senior Sergeant Ilya Karpov, was awarded the order of the Red Star. We were able to find data that since August 5, the 52nd rifle division, led fierce battles for the capture of the village of Galakhovo in the Rzhevsky district of the Kalinin region. In the fighting, only for 5-7 August, it lost 1615 people killed and wounded. By 8.08.1942, 9 active bayonets remained in the 439 village where Ilya Petrovich served... It was not possible to find out whether Ilya Petrovich survived those battles…Most of the dead soldiers, according to eyewitnesses, lie in Galakhovo itself and under the sawmill in Galakhovo, and under the present Obraztsovo. I really want to believe that there will be a grave in which, together with his comrades, Ilya Petrovich Karpov found his last shelter. There will be a place to bow your head in memory of him and other fallen defenders of the Motherland, lay a bouquet. Heroes do not die - they are alive as long as we remember them, who gave their lives so that we and the next generations could live. Ilya Petrovich Karpov died young, he did not have time to enjoy life, create his own family, and could not enjoy his children... He didn't have time for many things...But after putting his life at the age of 26 on the great Victory over the hated enemy, he didn't disappear without a trace!

Rank: Captain. Branch of service: army, air force (except marine aviation), the coast guard, the troops of the NKVD border troops. My grandfather, Alexey Iosifovich Klykov, went through the entire war from June 22, 1941 to May 9, 1945. After graduating from high school in 1939, he was called up for military service in the Soviet Army. He served in the 272nd separate communications battalion of the city of Molotov. And from November 1940, he was sent to work in the NKVD. At the beginning of the War, my great-grandfather served in Chelyabinsk in the 172nd rifle division of the Ural military district. From the autobiography of A. I. Klykov: "on the fronts of the great Patriotic War, he took part from June 22, 1941 to May 9, 1945. From August 1941 to February 1942, he was the head of the special Department of the NKVD of the partisan detachment of major Marsov." My grandfather participated in the partisan movement on the territory of the Belarusian SSR and the Kalinin region of the RSFSR. In the period from March 1942 to September 1943, my grandfather served as a senior operative in the 673rd rifle regiment of the 220th rifle division of the 31st army. On the Internet on the site "Fighting the red army in the second world war" we found data that the 31st army as part of the Western front participated in the Rzhev-Sychevskaya offensive operation (July 30-August 23), in the Smolensk strategic operation (August 7-October 1, 1943). Formations of the 31st army in cooperation with other front troops broke through a number of enemy defensive lines, defeated its main group, liberated the cities of Yartsevo, Smolensk and reached the right Bank of the Dnieper North-East of Orsha. From September 1943 to the end of the War, A. I. Klykov. he served as a senior operative of the counterintelligence Department of the SMERSH NGO of the 231st assault air division and the 279th red banner fighter air division of the 5th air army. I also learned from the Internet that the 5th air army made a great contribution to the defeat of enemy troops during the Belgorod-Kharkiv strategic offensive and the battle of the Dnieper. In 1944, the army took part in the Kirovograd, Korsun-Shevchenko, Iasi-Kishinev strategic offensive operations, and in 1945 – in operations to liberate Yugoslavia, Hungary, Austria, and Czechoslovakia. Unfortunately, we have not found detailed information about which of these combat operations the military units in which my grandfather served took part. But in the record sheet there is a line in the "Awards" section: December 20, 1943, the Canines of A. I. the command of the 31st army was awarded the order of the red star "for exemplary performance of special tasks of command," and under "was abroad," he pointed out that from May 1944 to August 1945 the troops of Soviet army freed from the Nazis Romania, Hungary and Austria. My grandfather was awarded the second government award on May 5, 1945. From the Supreme Soviet of the USSR with the wording "for participation in the Great Patriotic War of the Soviet Union against Germany", he received the medal "for victory over Germany". He finished the War with the rank of captain in the guards. My grandfather was lucky, he was not injured, and returned to his native village of Cherdakly after the War. I never saw him, as he unfortunately died a year before I was born. Our family, like many families, carefully kept the documents and belongings of relatives who took part in the war, and now we have transferred them to the Museum of the school where my children study. I am proud of my grandfather, proud that he liberated my Homeland from the Nazis and helped bring Victory Day closer.
