Klim was born to the family of Old Believers Dmitry Pavlovich and Varvara Dmitrievna in the village Bakaly of the Bashkir ASSR. In childhood, his family was dispossessed. The father managed to escape, and the mother, along with numerous children, lived in the baths of fellow villagers who took pity on her. All clothes and property were taken away and no work was given. Klim tended cattle and ate what the owners of the cows gave. After a while, everything was settled, the house was returned, and Klim, like all the other children, was able to study at school. His disposition was mischievous and hooligan, all the girls were afraid of his jokes. The war has come. It is known that the Old Believer faith does not allow killing other people. But Klim, as soon as he was 18 years old in December 1943, went to the army. He was first sent to study as a cook, and he took the oath to the school. After excellent studies, he went to the front line as a cook. During the service it was difficult, more than once he came under fire and ended up behind enemy lines along with his kitchen. A soldier's proverb says "You can postpone a war,but never a lunch." Food was prepared on the go and even during the battle. The driving force was mainly the horse. The cook himself procured water and wood for the stove. Firewood was always damp and so they used kerosene to light it up. So a cook without eyebrows, but with guns brandished is a common thing. Everything edible was used for food, that which could be obtained and was due in allowance. Killed a horse, so there will be horse meat for dinner. Since the soldiers were from multinational republics and different religions, sometimes they had to be cunning, for example, Muslims told pork that it was a goat. I learned to cook both Uzbek pilaf and Ukrainian borscht. Many times there were situations when the field kitchen was attacked by the Germans. So once the Germans were so carried away by the pursuit of the kitchen that they found themselves in the disposition of our troops. In the company, as it turned out, the commander was killed, and Klim, turning around, led the soldiers into battle and won the victory. For this he was thanked. Another time, on the river Odr, having left to collect water for the kitchen, Klim saw a group of German soldiers. And in the process of an unequal battle, he managed to capture a German corporal, deliver him alive to the location of our unit. For this feat, he was awarded the Medal of Courage in February 1945. As it is written in the presentation, after all this, he also "fed the soldiers a delicious dinner." Children born in 1926 were called cannon fodder. The survival rate was extremely low. They were young 18-20 year old guys with a warm heart, without any experience, rushed into battle with determination and died one after another. In the battles, Klim was wounded. During the shelling, he was concussed and almost completely covered with earth, only his hand remained on the surface. They found him on this protruding hand, dug him up and sent him to the hospital. Klim's dream of becoming a tanker could not come true for health reasons, but he managed to become a driver of a self-propelled vehicle (self-propelled gun). And he met the end of the war in Berlin as part of the 222nd 33 A of the 1st Belorussian Front. 33 Army, 43 separate self-propelled artillery battalion. After demobilization, he went to Riga for peat extraction where he met his wife Varvara Karpovna Dubenkova (a war veteran, originally from the Smolensk region) and their daughter was born. Then he went home to Bashkiria, where he was reunited with his father's family. He worked as a driver, and then as head of mechanical workshop in an oil organization. For some time he lived in the village of Oktyabrsky and built a house there. Then he lived in the r.p. Dyurtyuli. Because of wounds and heart problems, my grandfather did not become early, he died at the age of 47, was buried on a mountain in Dyurtyuli. Nobody has visited the grave for 30 years, and its location is unknown.

In my family, my dad's great-grandfather fought. This is Sladkov Grigory Sergeevich (father of my grandmother).

The enemy, fiercely resisting, conducted fierce artillery and mortar fire. The communication line was constantly out of order. My great-grandfather, risking his life, under the destructive fire of the enemy, quickly and skillfully corrected damage after damage. So, in a short time, 30 minutes, he repaired 8 damage and thus provided uninterrupted telegraph communication between the division command and the advancing regiment, thereby facilitating the success of our troops in the offensive. On September 9, 1944, Sladkov Grigory Sergeevich was awarded the medal "For Courage" for exemplary performance of a combat mission, for his courage and valor. On March 12, 1945, during the offensive operations of the division in the city of Saldus, the Latvian SSR, my great-grandfather and the Red Army soldier Mukhtar Alikulov received a combat mission: to establish a cable communication line from the observation post of the division commander to the assault group of the 1016th rifle regiment. Despite the shelling of the enemy, risking their lives, Sladkov and Alikulov established a communication line on time and provided the division commander with telephone communication with the assault group fighting the enemy, thereby contributing to the success of our troops in the offensive. On March 30, 1945, my great-grandfather and his comrade Mukhtar Alikulov were awarded medals "For Courage" for their displayed bravery. On March 23, 1945, due to a wound in his right arm, Grigory Sergeevich Sladkov returned home. The dead will not be reminded of that terrible war, so we should know as much as possible about them. It is the duty of all those living today to remember them, because they paid for our lives with their ones ...

From our family, three people participated in the war,among them: my grandfather was tortured to death in a concentration camp in the Krasnodar Territory, my uncle was drafted in 1940, he served in the city of Lodz.

The command gave the assignment, to take "tongue" before the general offensive of our troops. All types of army reconnaissance began, as they say, the hunt for "tongue". Here is a group in which dad took part went on reconnaissance and for a long time could not take the language "Moving towards the enemy's defenses, they cleared the minefield, where they caught their dawn. They went about 200 meters away from the enemy front line, and found a German house during the retreat. it was already on the eighth day when they managed to take "the tongue" with a fight. For this feat, my dad was awarded the Order of the Patriotic War, 2nd degree. After the general offensive, our troops overcame the enemy defenses, liberated Poland and began to advance towards East Prussia. Moving forward, our troops however, had losses. Prussia was already a fascist territory. Our soldiers fought fiercely for every meter of this land. The Germans were strongly defended here, as they felt that they would end. Liberating the territory from the enemy, the troops crossed the Oder River, and having captured the city of Ollau, our troops successfully advanced forward. After walking two hundred kilometers from this city, on February 15, 1945, my dad was seriously wounded. He lost his leg while clearing a minefield.

At the beginning of his military career, Vasily Grigorievich fought as part of the 50th separate ski brigade, which at that time was carrying out combat missions in the city of Maloyaroslavets, Kaluga region. At that time, the brigade consisted of about 5 thousand fighters. From the memoirs of Vasily Grigorievich: “For camouflage purposes, the soldiers were forbidden to make noise, light fires and smoke. Due to the lack of an opportunity to warm up in the harsh winter conditions, many fighters received frostbite. In one of the battles our brigade was taken by the Germans into a “ring”, from which only 52 fighters managed to get out alive. " After defeats in fierce battles, the 50th Separate Ski Brigade was disbanded. Vasily Grigorievich was sent to the city of Kozelsk, Kaluga region, where he was enrolled in a mortar brigade. From the memoirs of Vasily Grigorievich: “The guns (mortars) had to be moved with the help of skis, sleighs and horses, it happened that the soldiers themselves pulled the guns. Then our brigade made long campaigns behind enemy lines. " In July 1943, Vasily Grigorievich took part in the Battle of Kursk, which is considered one of the key battles of World War II and the Great Patriotic War. From the memoirs of Vasily Grigorievich: “The battles were terrible: the deafening noise of guns, the roar of engines of tanks, aircraft, the howl of exploding mines - many of the fighters could not stand their nerves, their ear membranes burst. The area was literally strewn with the bodies of our dead soldiers and Germans, everywhere there was equipment scattered with mines: tanks, mortars. The hot summer period contributed to the spread of the eerie smell of decomposing dead bodies. The funeral teams did not have time to collect the bodies of the dead fighters between battles. I remember how we were given a 3-day food ration before the battle. We all understood then that this day could be the last for each of us, besides, the supply of food to the front was very poor, the soldiers were practically starving. In general, we then dealt with the 3-day ration in one fell swoop, put on the clean clothes given to us the day before ... ”From the battles that took place on July 11 and 12, 1943 on the Kursk Bulge, as a result of an attack by German aviation, from two batteries, consisting of out of six mortar crews each, only 11 soldiers survived: 8 people - from one and 3 people - from the second battery, including Vasily Grigorievich. Despite the huge losses of the Soviet Army in the battles on the Kursk Bulge, the defensive operation turned into active offensive operations and the Germans were driven back to Kharkov. For participation in the Battle of Kursk, Vasily Grigorievich was awarded the medal "For Courage". There he received a bullet wound in the leg. After the Battle of Kursk, the remnants of the mortar brigade, in which Vasily Grigorievich fought, were transferred to Moscow, and then became part of the Belorussian Front. From the fall of 1943 to the fall of 1944, Vasily Grigorievich participated in the liberation of Belarus from the Germans. From the memoirs of Vasily Grigorievich: "The lands in Belarus were swamp, it was impossible to dig a dugout: there was already water for 2 bayonets of a shovel." In late 1944 - early 1945, Vasily Grigorievich took part in the liberation of the countries of Eastern Europe (Latvia, Poland) and Germany from the German occupation. Until August 1945 he served in Germany. With the rank of sergeant in 1947, he was demobilized and returned home, to his native land, where his relatives and friends were waiting for him. After the war he lived most of his life in the village of Kalinovka, Partizansky District, Krasnoyarsk Territory, worked on the collective farm named after Lenin. He was a hardworking, fair person, brought up four children. He rarely spoke about the moments spent in the war. Our hero passed away in October 2011 ... But his great feat, like the feat of millions of Soviet people, will never disappear from the memory of our ancestors!

I was born in February 1940 in Leningrad. My name is Nina Salnikova. In the summer of 1940, my family and I were in Volodarka, with Leni's grandfather and Lyuba's grandmother. My grandfather lived in his own house and worked in a copper smelter plant. A terrible war began. My sister and I were very young and did not feel all the fear. According to my mother's stories, my father came on leave at the end of August and warned that the war would be long, we shouldn't stay here - we need to go to Leningrad. Mom, Salnikova Lyudmila, packed up and took our things to the city, and on the second call she took my sister and me on a tram. It turned out that it was too late, Ligovo was captured by the Germans. We learned about the beginning of the blockade of Leningrad. I had to go back. The winters in Leningrad turned out to be harsh, according to my mother, in 1942 the thermometer dropped to 43 degrees. Our area was heavily bombed, we hid in the cellar. Our family did not stock up on food. A terrible famine began. Mom gradually exchanged watches, gold, rings and earrings for food, everything in the house, just to feed us. My grandfather had a dog, in the winter of 1942, I had to kill her in order to survive ... Once, taking my sister Olga and me on a sleigh, my mother knocked down from hunger and thought that we would not survive, lay in the snow, counting the time to death ... We were saved by a completely unfamiliar man, running up to us he shouted: “Young! She's crazy to die! " He transplanted my sister and me into his wagon train and took us to warm up in his house. He saved us, warmed and fed us. Wrapping the fish, he said to his mother, “Hide! Don't give it to anyone! Feed the children little by little, eat it yourself! Tears welling up in my mother's eyes. Even in such a situation, people remained human. We Survived. And we SURVIVED! On the morning of January 15, 1944, the Germans, under the threat of weapons, gathered all the residents of Volodarka, and distributed them into two camps, the elderly in one direction, women and children in the other. It turned out that there was a two-story building near the station, it was there that the old people were herded and burned alive. There, at the age of 65, grandfather Lenya died. Persecution began ... and we went to die in the camps. In April 1944, we reached Lithuania. In July 1944 they ended up in Poland. By chance, we ended up in Auschwitz, a train full of crowded people stopped near the camp, I remember the bright light of a searchlight .. all things were taken away, we could hear "Dizenfection" in German-Russian, we did not have time to jump off the carriage. The Germans lined up in two rows, we did not understand what was happening ... Mom was crying, she understood, we were being led to die. My family and I did not get into the workers' party. The smell ... the smell of death was felt that night, black smoke and a long line. “Everything will be fine,” “now we’ll go to bed,” my mother and my sister reassured me. A miracle happened, an unfamiliar French prisoner from the camp service team, seeing us, pulled us out of the line and pushed us into the party of workers, thereby saving us from death. Mom, being with us in the camp, tried to find this woman, it turned out that she was burned in the crematorium ... We have passed many roads, we have been in different places, we do not even know how many death camps we have passed, but we survived. Liberation came in Frankfurt am Main on March 25, 1945. In May 1945, we were provided with a two-story white house, with a large staircase and a white piano on the second floor, I remember a lot of dolls and toys, for us it was paradise. After settling in, Russian soldiers brought in a huge jar of condensed milk. At night, while everyone was asleep, I took the largest spoon in the house and began to eat, in huge portions, but when she heard, my mother said "Nina, you can't do that much, Nina,you will die!" A few days later, my mother decided to return to Leningrad, the soldiers said, "Don't do this, stay here, there is nothing there, there is hunger." The family decided to return home to their homeland. At the station, my mother, leaving my sister and me on our suitcases, went to ask about the train ... at that moment, a complete stranger, threw us off our suitcases and took all our things with toys ... But we were not offended - we went home ... In June 1945 we were already in Leningrad, our family helped to rebuild the city after a terrible war. We survived ... it's scary to imagine that there are more than 13 camps behind us ...

Telitsyn Vasily Papovich, born December 13, 1909, a native of the Sunsky district. 06/23/1941 (on the second day of the war) was drafted into the Red Army with a car (he worked as a driver in the RaiPO(Disrtict Consumer Society).

He performed the tasks of covering the immediate approaches to Leningrad and preventing its capture by the enemy. On April 2, 1942, he was seriously wounded and contused. From the field hospital by plane from the encirclement transferred to the rear hospital. After long-term treatment, he was sent to serve in Riga, where he celebrated Victory Day over Nazi Germany (by chance that day in Riga he met his brother Mikhail, also a front-line soldier). Then he was transferred to Mongolia, where he participated in battles as part of the troops of the Trans-Baikal Front. He celebrated the Victory Day over Japan in Mukden (China). He returned home in December 1945. He was awarded the Order of the Red Star, the Medal for Military Merit, the Order of the Patriotic War, and numerous medals. From the speech of V.P. Telitsyn. at a rally in the village of Suna in honor of the Victory over Nazi Germany (70s): “I was taken into the army on the second day of the war, along with a car. At that time, I worked as a driver in the Sunsky regional consumer union. Among others, I was sent to the Leningrad direction near the city of Narva. I had to experience the bitterness of retreat (left Tikhvin, Volkhov). They retreated along the Gulf of Finland and Lake Ladoga. They retreated with battles, defended themselves. However, the fascists at that time were stronger than us. In 1942 we were transferred to the rear to replenish personnel and receive new equipment. After formation, our unit was sent to the Volkhov front in the Second Shock Army, commanded by the traitor to the Motherland, General Vlasov. We, rank-and-file soldiers, as well as officers, did not know about this betrayal. They fought heroically and bravely with the Nazis. The second shock was surrounded by German fascist troops. The ring was broken several times, but the Germans surrounded us again. We suffered heavy losses, but many Germans were killed. We were short of ammunition and food. We were given the task to break through the encirclement and deliver cartridges, shells and food to the encircled. Under constant mortar fire and bombing, we still managed to break through in several vehicles. We were loaded with the necessary load, and we drove back. But the ring had already closed again. There were swamps all around, the only road we drove along was constantly bombarded. We got into a zone of massive fire. It was April 2, 1942. I was wounded in the right arm and leg, and I was concussed. I lost consciousness, then came to my senses. Mines exploded all around. I managed to start the car and took it out of the firing zone. The whole car was pierced by shrapnel, but the engine was unharmed. The rest of the vehicles also managed to break through and the necessary cargo was delivered to our military unit. It was a very difficult time for our Second Shock Army. The encirclement ring was shrinking every day. I was placed in a field hospital (surrounded) at the Rogavka station (registration in the fields: Novgorod region, 140 km from St. Petersburg, hospital No. 2538). He lay there for 30 days, as there was no way to transport them across the front line from the encirclement. All the same, the plane landed and we, seriously wounded, were taken to the rear hospital. After a long treatment, I was sent to another military unit. He met the victory over fascist Germany in Riga. On this day, I accidentally met my brother, also a participant in the Great Patriotic War. Soon our unit was sent to Russia, and from there to Mongolia. I took part in battles to defend Leningrad, Estonia and in battles as part of the Trans-Baikal Front. Celebrated the Victory Day over Germany in Riga. Victory Day over Japan was celebrated in China, in the city of Mukden. He was demobilized in December 1945. Allow me, dear war veterans, all participants of the meeting, to congratulate you on the Victory Day, to wish you good health, success in your affairs and eternal peace time.
