The Great Patriotic War

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.

In January 1942, he was sent as the commander of the machine-gun crew of the machine gun to the Kalinin front, to the 91st rifle division. As part of the 117th guards rifle brigade, he took part in the Rzhev-Sychevskaya offensive operation, The Rzhev-Sychevskaya strategic offensive operation, where he bravely and skillfully supported the Riflemen during the battles from November 25 to December 2, 1942. "On November 26, I supported the Riflemen with my machine gun and broke into the enemy's trench with them. The Germans launched a counterattack, and only Grigoriev's machine gun remained in the trench. But he did not lose his head, machine-gun fire destroyed 25 Nazis. The rest lay down and retreated" - this was how his feat was described in the award list of the medal "for bravery". By the end of 1942, he received his first battle wound, fortunately it was light. A couple of months later, in February 1943, he was again wounded in the left shoulder. After receiving recognition of fitness for combat service, he returned to the battlefields, continuing to fight in the 91st rifle division. He participated in Kursk offensive operation, where in the battles for the height of 228, he received the medal "for military merit". In October 1943, he took part in Nevel operation and was wounded on October 6. Exactly a year after the first injury-a fatal combination of circumstances-he was again injured, and this time seriously. A through shrapnel wound to the face with damage to the lower jaw-this was the diagnosis, and the doctors found it was necessary to transfer him to the evacuation hospital in Kazan on December 2, 1943. Y He was in Tatar evacuation hospital until February 1944, where he was commissioned because of injury

Member of the partisan movement of Belarussia in the special Squad, named after KIROV of Gomel connection since July 8, 1942 to November 25, 1943. Born on August 15, 1918. in the village of Bortniki, Bobruisk district, Mogilev region, in a poor peasant family. My father was a shoemaker and my mother a dressmaker. In winter she sewed clothes and in summer she worked kolkhoz in the field. She was a perfect master of the sickle during harvesting. The farm had a cow, a couple of geese, and a dozen of chickens. Her family had four children - two brothers and two sisters. In 1935 she finished Bobruisk forestry college with the profession of furniture manufacturing technology. She was a Komsomol activist in the colleege, also participated in Amateur activities and in passing the TRP standards. She got married the same year. In the spring of 1936, her son Marik was born. When he came to stay with his grandparents in the summer, he liked to feed geese by hand with his grandmother. In the end of May 1941 her daughter Mariyka was born. In spring of 1941 her husband Mikhail was mobilized and sent to the area of Belostok (possibly for the construction of defensive structures), there he died in the first week of the war. On the 3rd day of the war, thieves (future policemen) stole a cow at night, wrapping the hooves with rags. In the end of June, her mother-in-law sent a horse from Bobruisk to take her relatives to the rear, but this could not be done, since all the roads were already clogged by the Nazis. The old men decided to return home, and Lydia and her sister Sofia, along with their two children, went to distant farms and villages, because local anti-Soviets could give them to the Nazis. The peasants sympathized with the refugees: some gave a slice of bread, some poured a Cup of milk, some gave a bulbina (potato). But everyone was afraid of the punishers, everywhere there were orders not to accept refugees and hand them over to the commandant's office. All residents were supposed to have ausweiss with them. Execution For non-compliance. We had to spend the night in the woods, or in haystacks. Where there were no policemen, you could sleep in a shed or bathhouse. By mid-September, the nights were getting colder and the children's health was getting worse. Marik became ill. A peasant woman in one of the villages was persuaded to accept the boy (her husband was also in the army, everyone believed that the fascists would soon be defeated and our people would return). The informer is unknown, but when, a couple of weeks later, his mother returned to visit her son, she saw only his worn-out shoes. One night the policemen came and dragged him out from behind the stove, where he was hiding in the straw, without even allowing him to put them on. Everything was done quickly, so as not to allow the victim to react and get his bottle of schnapps from the new owners as soon as possible... In those places, in the area of the current Krasny Bereg station, a hospital for wounded German soldiers was located and the point for collecting donor and children's blood was created there. Perhaps the boy was sent to that place where he died. After the war, when I was 6-7 years old, I remember my mother's bitter tears, as she wrung her hands and remembering all this, repeated: "I wish the Germans had killed me." These memories came back to her again and again, leaving a trace in my soul. After leaving this village, having suffered such a mental trauma, my mother lost her breast milk. The baby was doomed. She died in late October or early November. The first snow has fallen... the ground was not frozen yet. When Guderian's German tanks broke into Bortniki in late June and early July, the soldiers began to Rob the peasants, depriving livestock, milk, butter, and lard, but they did not commit any atrocities yet. They were eager to capture the bridges and crossings on the Berezina faster. But a week later, the field gendarmerie, the commandant's office, and the police appeared. The hunt for Communists and Jews began. One day the order was posted: "All Jews must gather by the commandant's office. Take your valuables and food for three days.”My grandparents Vera and Simon Freitman were sent to a ghetto (possibly, in Bobruisk), where all its inhabitants were killed by the spring of 1942. She was not accepted immediately To the partisan detachment, named after Kirov. There were a lot of checks. Her knowledge of Komsomol structures helped, and she also knew German well. Her skills to sew clothes was also useful. She was Accepted as a private on July 8, 1942, where she served until the moment of liberationon by Red Army troops under the command of K. K. Rokossovsky on November 25, 1943. She was awarded the command medals: Partisan of the Patriotic War, for the Victory over Germany, for valiant labor in the great Patriotic War, as well as, in peacetime, the jubilee medal “Twenty years of Victory in the great Patriotic War” and the Jubilee Badge “25 years of Victory in the great Patriotic War”. In peacetime, she worked in regional food industry as an economist, and then in Vodokanaltrest–as a motorist of pumping stations. Her health was severely damaged by the war. She died on March 28, 1978. There is a photo from partisan life-The work of a workshop for repairing uniforms. From the memoirs of her son-Vladimir Nikolaevich Suzdalev. 04/12/2020.

The story of Tamara Alekseevna Gerasimova, the invalid of I group on sight, Kineshma member of the local organization of all-Russian blind society: "I was born in 1938 in Sladkovo village, Nebilovsky district, Vladimir region. In 1941, the war began. My father, Alexey Nikolaevich Agafanov, went to the front. My mother had three of us: me and two brothers. Sometimes German planes flew in the sky at night. They said they were going to Moscow. My mother wrapped me in a blanket and carried me to the bomb shelter, which was located next to the house - in the basement of the Church. I looked out of the blanket with one eye and saw a tiny plane in the sky, flying very high and humming terribly. My mother worked all day in the kolkhoz. Leaving for work, she gave a task for each of us: to sweep the floor, to saw wood, who to bring water. That was how our life flowed every day. And every day we waited for a letter from the front. When famine began, we ate only potatoes, which we grew in our garden. But it was enough only for winter, in the spring we lived half-starved - there were no potatoes, morу so, bread. We went to the kolkhoz field, looking for rotten potatoes left after the winter. Then my mother baked pancakes from it, we called them nausea, because they were not tasty at all, but there was no other food. If you want to eat, we go to the meadow, pick pipes and eat. I always wanted to eat. One day we received a notification from the front, which reported the death of our father. My mother became weak and often ill. We tried to help her as much as we could. In 1943, my brother Alexander was taken to Red Army. Later, in the end of the war, we a funeral letter about my brother, who died liberating Warsaw. Brother Afanasy was drafted into Red Army in the end of 1944. He will end the war in Berlin. Afanasy will serve in Germany for 7 years. I finished high school in 1956. I started to lose my eyesight abruptly, and received II group of disability. I have lived in Kineshma since 1960. I worked at the educational and production enterprise VOS (All-Soviet Blind Society), engaged in Amateur art. I am a VOS veteran, my work experience is 45 years. I am already 81 years old, but I am an active reader of Kineshma branch # 1. I try to attend events and libraries in Kineshem local organization VOS. Shell I Remember the war? Or maybe it is necessary to remember the war more often? So that our children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren know what war is. It's hard to believe how we could survive these difficult years!»

Yakov Nikitovich Gabov went through the entire war and ended it on the Western front with the rank of senior Lieutenant. But he was drafted to the front in very beginning of Great Patriotic war, on June 22, 1941. He was wounded three times, and showed bravery and bravery in battle. As a senior political officer of the 4th Separate Rifle battalion of the 150th Rifle brigade, he raised and strengthened the spirit of the soldiers in every possible way. He especially distinguished himself in the battles near the village of Khlepen in Smolensk region, where, after losing battles, in 1942, the fascists strengthened themselves on the steep Bank of the Vazuza river. For three days our 148th and 150th brigades tried in vain to dislodge the enemy from the village, suffering serious losses. Then Ilya Mikhailovich Podberezin, the commander of the 150th brigade, suggested a diversionary maneuver: on the night of November 29, 1942, two groups of fighters attacked the German bunker from the East and West, thereby causing fire on themselves. And at this time, the main capture group of 47 soldiers of Lieutenant Dorofeenko and 12 volunteers of the assistant commander Yakov Gabov made their way, under cover of darkness to the Khlepen Church captured by the Nazis and knocked them out of it. Soldiers under the command of Yakov Gabov blocked the entrance to the Church with bricks and defended it for 36 hours, despite heavy fire from the Nazis and their use of smoke bombs. The Church was defended, and at dawn on December 1, our soldiers occupied the village of Khlepen. An important bridgehead of the fascists with numerous bunkers ceased to exist. On February 14, 1943 Yakov Nikitich Gabov was awarded the order of Patriotic war of 1 degree for the operation near Chlepen. Here, at the front, there was another happy event - he met his future wife Nina Danilovna Pisachkina, who was the typist of the 150th division. In February, the young couple got a vacation for a few days and went to Moscow, where they got married. Then a bit later, Nina, was sent from the front to Moscow to her parents because of her pregnancy. After the fighting in the Rzhev-Vyazma direction, the brigades were re-formed. On October 10, 1943, Yakov Gabov was awarded the order of the red Star. Having become a commander, he skillfully trained agitators and editors of combat leaflets to strengthen the mood of the fighters before crossing the Dnieper. Yakov Nikitich directly carried out all the political and mass work in the divisions himself. During the crossing of the Dnieper, he was among the soldiers in the most dangerous areas, setting an example of courage and bravery to the privates. It also helped to avoid significant losses. Then he was already in the rank of senior Lieutenant of the 594th Rifle regiment of the 207th Rifle division of the Western front. Yakov Nikitovich liberated Prague, and after the war, having managed to see his daughter Nina, who was born in Moscow, soon left for work in the Baltic States. There Yakov Nikitich taught history at a school in Riga and later became its Director. Unfortunately, the marriage with Nina Danilovna did not survive, and she raised her daughter alone. In 1965, daughter Nina married Igor Raulevich, grandson of the famous Kazakh writer Sabir Sharipov and son of another veteran of the great Patriotic war - Raul Sabirovich. Yakov Nikitovich's granddaughter, Valeria, was born in this marriage. Traditionally, on Victory day, veterans of the 150th rifle division gathered in Moscow, near Khlepn, in Karmanovo and Sychevka, in the places of fierce battles during the great Patriotic war. They also gathered together in Riga, and even went to the village to visit Yuri Gagarin's parents.
