Emirsaliev Yagya My great-grandfather Emirsaliev Yagya was born in 1912 in the village Tuben in Colayski district of Crimean region (now p. G. T. Azov Dzhankoyski district of the Crimea). On July 7, 1941, my great-grandfather volunteered for the front from the city of Jankoy. After that, he was enlisted as an artilleryman in a rifle division under the command of commander-General K. K. Rokossovsky. He spent the entire war as an ordinary soldier. The division in which my great-grandfather fought, liberated Stalingrad, participated in the battle of Kursk. During the liberation operation in Poland, in April 1944, my great-grandfather was injured in an explosion and was shell-shocked. He was on long-term treatment in the hospital. After the hospital, my great-grandfather was discharged from the army for health reasons, and he began the long journey home to the Crimea. But he did not find his family there. I learned only that on May 18, 1944, on the basis of decisions of state bodies, among people of different nationalities, his family was also evicted from the village of Tyuben in the Kolay district of the Crimean region. Great-grandfather went in search of his family. Brave and strong in spirit, he never lost hope of finding them. He managed to find his family in Uzbekistan in 1947. According to my grandmother, at this time my great-grandmother was working in the field, and my six-year-old grandmother was playing in the yard. A man approached the courtyard, called out to the girl who was playing, and recognized her as his daughter. There were hugs and tears of joy from the meeting of father and daughter. The father was standing in a soldier's greatcoat on two crutches, which greatly shocked the girl. She did not immediately recognize him as her father, because when he left for the front in 1941, she was about two years old. Soon the great-grandmother came up, and their meeting was very touching. In Uzbekistan, my great-grandfather was able to get a job in a factory, where he was awarded the "Veteran of labor" medal and the "Drummer of labor"badge for conscientious work. Great-grandfather, despite all the trials that fell on his fate, was a kind, sympathetic person. He never offended anyone, treated everyone with respect, and took tender care of his children and grandchildren. When asked about the war, he said little and surreptitiously wiped away his tears. I couldn't forget how hard it was to bury my comrades, and I was glad that all the hell of the war was over. It wasn't easy for my great-grandmother either. On October 31, 1941, the city of Dzhankoy was occupied by the Germans, and she had to hide with a one-year-old child in her arms. Fascists came to villages and villages and shot those families in which fathers, sons, husbands fought in the red army. Emirsaliev Yagya was awarded the medals "for bravery", "for the Victory over Germany", "for military merit", "for the capture of Warsaw", "for the liberation of Warsaw"and the order of the "Patriotic war". My great-grandfather died in October 1992 in Uzbekistan. All these years, our family loves, remembers and honors its hero. This love is passed down from generation to generation, I believe and know that this will always be the case in our family! Eternal bright memory of the fallen heroes!

Epov Guriy Nikolaevich Epov Gury Nikolaevich was born on 24.12.1912 in the village of Dyrbylkey, Borzinsky district, Chita region in the family of a military doctor Nikolai Anempodistovich. Arina, the mother, died when he was a baby, Nicholay Anempodistovich died in the civil war. Guriy and his sister Elena were raised by their grandfather. According to the memories of Guriy Nikolaevich, my grandfather started working early in the morning. Elena and Guriy worked themselves from the age of 3-4, grazing poultry. After work, adults gathered for evenings where they sang, danced, talked, and children played nearby or listened to stories from one of the adults. When Guriy was 5 years old, the Anempodist was dekulakized, arrested, and sent to Kazakhstan. They passed through the far East, where an Anempodist died on the way. Elena and Guriy ended up in an orphanage, where Guriy graduated from primary school. Then he was trained at the Borzinsky district school and qualified as a veterinary paramedic. In 1941, at the age of 29, he was drafted into the army. He served in the Siberian division, which was nicknamed "Wild" for its courage, desperation, and inflexibility. Guriy Nikolaevich later recalled the Volkhov front: "I will not forget November 18-19, 1941, until the end of my life. Our 5th company was thrown into the exploration right under the accurate fire of the Germans. And we were going to certain death, because we knew that if we distracted the Germans here, they would not have the strength to reach Leningrad! Almost all of our company was killed in those swamps, and I myself came to in the field infirmary with a serious wound." After numerous shrapnel wounds from an air RAID, Guriy Nikolaevich fought for life in hospitals for about a year, then was discharged as unfit for duty. Gury Nikolaevich Epov worked in the rear. He married Tatyana Konstantinovna Panova, with whom he raised 9 children. After working at the Daursky state farm for many years, he received the title of labor veteran. Guriy Nikolaevich was a sympathetic, competent specialist. To this day, the older generation remembers with gratitude how he saved livestock, regardless of the time of day and even when he was already retired. Guriy Nikolaevich actively participated in the life of the village. He was often invited to meetings with young soldiers and children, where with his memories he tried to lay the history of his Fatherland in the memory of young people. Guriy Nikolaevich led the search for fellow soldiers and relatives of fellow soldiers who died at Tikhvin. Being a sociable person, he sought to unite people. He found relatives through Newspapers and corresponded with a huge number of people. He wrote articles in Newspapers on exciting topics. The Epov family had a large subsidiary farm. In the courtyard there was a sauna, a gazebo, sheds built with their own hands, a well-groomed vegetable garden. Guriy Nikolaevich at work did not forget to deal with the upbringing of children. He considered it important that children know their roots and remember their ancestors. His children, and then his grandchildren, listened to his stories with great interest. Shortly before his death, Guriy Nikolaevich told his eldest son about his childhood, showed the place where he grew up. Now only the Foundation remains of the house. On January 30, 1992, this sensitive and worldly wise man died. But it remained in the memory and hearts of many people.

Evenchik Alexander Rank: Senior Lieutenant of the army: Land forces, air force (except naval aviation), coastal service, NKVD troops, border guards Alexander Evenchik died at the front at the very end of the Patriotic war-January 30, 1945. Sasha had a reservation, and after receiving his diploma, he could go on assignment to a military factory and work for the benefit of the Motherland in the rear. But a high sense of duty led him as a volunteer in the active army. And the second time after the end of the Higher, officer courses "Shot" in response to the offer to stay on the courses as a teacher refused to get to the front. In heavy fighting during the crossing of the Neman, he was almost mortally wounded and sent to a hospital for treatment. Awarded The Order Of Lenin. Instead of finishing treatment, a report on returning to your unit. The doctors didn't insist. In the last letter, he wrote that a fight was coming. In the previous battle, two friends of the company commanders were killed, and they "were going to meet at our Solyanka at six o'clock in the evening after the war." The battle was at the fortress of thorn Poland, Sasha led his platoon in the attack, with a cry for the MOTHERLAND for STALIN. And fell to the death of the brave, as they wrote to me in the funeral. They also wrote that the command had presented Sasha for the title of Hero of the Soviet Union. Either it didn't get through, or they wrote it for comfort. 72 years have passed since then. Now the grandchildren and great-grandchildren of the great Patriotic war soldiers March with portraits of their ancestors. Sasha has no descendants. Maybe it will sound too high-flown, but I can't help but say these words when I think of him: pure, sincere, loyal to friends, family, ideas, active. At school-Shurka Evenchik-activist, social activist, excellent organizer, member of the school Committee, pioneer, then Komsomol member. At the Institute - Sasha Evenchik Member of the Komsomol Committee. Participant of mountaineering trips, various sports competitions, singing - (had absolute hearing).

Elimbayev Michail Fedorovich Rank: Lieutenant military Branch of military: Artillery Division: 27th rifle Gdynia red banner division" My soul will live as long as I am remembered...", - Mikhail Fedorovich Elembayev. Born Michael F. Alimbaev in November of 1912 in the village of Kandas-Whitey Novotor district. He was two years old when his father died in the first imperialist war. Mikhail Fedorovich had a difficult life. All the transformations took place before his eyes and with his direct participation. He graduated from the Yoshkar-Ola teachers ' Institute and taught mathematics. He witnessed the collectivization of agriculture, was on the front line of the great Patriotic war, and participated in the post-war restoration of the national economy. He returned from the war with the order of the Patriotic war II degree, the order of the Red star and medals. In peacetime, labor and anniversary awards were added to the combat awards. At the age of 70, he began to keep brief records of the main milestones of his difficult life. In them, he tells about his mother and the years of study, youth, work in schools in Novotoryalsky district, the elimination of illiteracy among the population and, of course, the great Patriotic war of 1941-1945. Fragments of memories ... to the North, to the army. I was drafted into the army at the end of 1940. He served on the farthest-North-Western border of our homeland on the Kola Peninsula, where the long polar night was replaced by the polar day. I first saw the edge of the sun on February 28, 1941. And in June, it was a full polar day. The sun was no longer sinking below the horizon at all. Our generation had a very strong Patriotic spirit. We loved our Homeland and were proud of improving the life of our people. Both in the ranks and in their spare time, they sang a lot of drill songs. And it sounded in the far side: If tomorrow is a war, if tomorrow is a campaign, If the dark force descends… As one person, the entire Soviet people will stand up for the Motherland. On alert. On June 22, our platoon with two machine guns was taken to the border to reinforce the 6th border post. Even though we were trained in combat skills, we weren't really prepared to face our enemies properly. Many even never fired live ammunition, did not know how to load and throw live grenades. I, too, have never fired my Maxim at a target before. A week later, a thick fog descended on the coast of the Barents sea. The Germans took advantage of this and surrounded us on three sides. And the fourth Patsanski Bay. For three days and three nights we fought, trying to get out of the encirclement. We lost a lot of fighters. The order came: "submerge the machine Guns and ammunition and swim out of the encirclement."We descended from the rocky shore and just managed to sink the machine guns, as the Germans opened heavy fire on us. We fired back for a while. And when the tide came in, when they were up to their necks in water, there was only one way out - to swim to the middle of the Bay, so that enemy bullets would not reach them. Canvas boots and a roll coat pulled down. I rolled onto my back and kicked them off. It was hard to swim. I rested in the water, lying on my back, and swam on. And so, for more than two kilometers, until it reached the coast of the Sredny Peninsula. Our Small Earth. From 33 soldiers of our platoon, only seven were left alive. In the unit, we were considered missing and my mother was sent a notification about it. On the other Bank we met other members of our thinned battalion. I was given a machine gun again. Our unit held the defense on the Sredny and Rybachy peninsulas. The Germans then tried to block the Northern fleet and the 14th Army from the Mainland, to occupy Murmansk. We prevented them from achieving this goal. Everyone knows about Malaya Zemlya on the black sea coast of Novorossiysk. And here was our Northern Small land, we defended it stoutly. We kept in touch with the outside world. We managed to defend Arkhangelsk and the approaches to Murmansk. Either a bullet in front or a bullet in the back! On the ridge of Musta-Tunturi, which separated the Kola and Sredny peninsulas, in August 41, the fascists dominated, constantly firing at us. And our command decided to take this height. All week there were fights for the hill. Once I was called to the headquarters and ordered to take seven soldiers with me, creep up under the ridge unnoticed and support the planned assault on the hill. Ten more fighters were waiting for us there. After consulting, we decided to go into a bayonet attack. But the Germans saw through our plan and drove us off the cliff with heavy fire. The second attack was also unsuccessful. I was called to the phone, the order was harsh: "Take the hill! Either a bullet in front or a bullet in the back!» No exit. We collected as many grenades as possible, took them from the dead soldiers, put them in their pockets, gas masks and grenade bags. Two light machine guns were placed on the flanks. They launched a grenade and machine-gun attack. We took the hill! We took a break, ate, and rested. But the Germans came to their senses and started firing at us again. Get a grenade, fascist… A German grenade hissed and spun around me. Out of fear, I grabbed it and threw it away. It exploded in the air. This moment was a turning point for me: I started throwing German grenades. For a while I ran, playing with death like a snowball. And when I looked around, there was no one in front or behind us. I noticed two pairs of boots behind a block of rock. Who, I think, managed to come running before me? I jumped up to them-and right into the mess of blood. Here lay our dead soldiers. I was immediately followed by a burst of machine-gun fire. Well, I guess I'm finished, too. I still had three grenades left. But how do you know where the enemy machine gunner is shooting from? Without getting up, he placed one corpse on top of the other and pushed it forward. The German noticed, gave a turn. The bullets ricochet off to the side. It became clear that the machine gunner was hiding in 18-20 meters behind a large stone. There I threw two grenades one after the other...a few seconds later our people started a mortar attack. Suddenly I felt as if I had been hit with a heavy crowbar – a large fragment of a mine hit my pelvic bone. While I was still conscious, I crawled behind a block of rock. I don't remember anything further…This happened on August 20, 1941. And two days later, in a thick fog, I was found by a medical instructor and, shifting to a raincoat tent, dragged under the hill. From there, they were transported on a stretcher to the regimental medical unit on the Rybachy Peninsula. Then there was the convalescent battalion. And again, in front! The music didn't last long. Testingthe direction. Here we were given fur coats, felt boots and warm underwear. After changing clothes right in the snow, we went to the combat guard. Our firing point was in a swamp. It was in three rolls and masked by the ground. It was very low, you couldn't even sit down. An embrasure was made for the machine gun. Machine-gun fire knocked down the trees in front, made a blockage and mined. We didn't have to wait long: the Germans went on a psychic attack – in full-length formation and with music and songs. At the beginning of the war, they often resorted to such intimidating actions. After taking a comfortable position, we have opened a dagger-flanking fire. More than 70 German soldiers were killed in this battle. Only then did the Germans stop their psychic attacks.There were successes in other battles, and they defended well in other areas. For the victories in these battles, our division was awarded the guards rank. Now I am a warrior guardsman. In the sights of Finnish snipers After the hospital, because of the second wound, I was sent to a Lieutenant's course. Then - the Karelian front, the REBOL direction. Appointed commander of a mortar platoon. Here we had to fight against the Finns.This front stretches from lake Ladoga to the White sea. In the summer, swamps and lakes created great difficulties, and in the winter, Finnish soldiers, standing on skis, flew at our rear garrisons. They were very good skiers, and they were excellent shooters. In the Finnish forests, we had to act as partisans: we blew up bridges, enemy warehouses, etc. The enemy was strong, efficient. Their air force was particularly dangerous. Northern Malaya Zemlya suffered many hardships and losses, being left without support from the Mainland. We had to starve, there was not enough ammunition, medicines...In spite of everything, the Soviet soldiers fought heroically for the Motherland, for the victory. But it was necessary to pass all five fatal years before it. Thank you, mother, I was never afraid of Death. I always kept the last bullet for myself. He returned home with the order of the Patriotic war II degree and the red star. My mother accompanied her three sons to the war, giving them a hunk of bread, which she asked them not to part with under any difficulties. It must have been her charm. Then I found out thatevery day she went out into the open field and prayed to God for us. Thank you, mother. All three returned from the war. However, the older brother Grigory is without an arm and I am with two wounds… ... Memories of the war Mikhail Fedorovich ended with the message that a year after the war, he and Marusya – Maria Fedorovna created a family. This was the beginning of a new, family, peaceful life...

Olga Nikolaevna Skrynnikova dragged him, unconscious, and another officer to her and hid them in the room, blocking the doorway with a large wardrobe. And when the Germans broke in to search her, beating her and demanding the surrender of officers, she did not admit that she had Soviet army officers behind the wall, thereby saving their lives.

The wounds were making themselves felt. I had to learn crutches. he was took off in school No. 2, where Edem Gasiewich had taught earlier after another illness in school. In different instances, they answered: the candidate is not suitable. People were overly cautious, and the "national" cadres were viewed with caution. Pain and resentment suffocated: to be a member of the party, to fight, to die for the Motherland-the candidate was suitable, but to continue teaching children — no! The Secretary of the CC CPSU, E. P. Kukhtin, whom the veteran always remembered with a kind word, helped: he sent him to school No. 5, where the front-line soldier was given the opportunity to conduct drawing, drawing, physical education. Along the way, Eyupov mastered photography. In Salsk Eden Gasiewicz met Tamara Georgievna Cherkashina. They lived happily for more than 50 years and raised three children and seven grandchildren. Ayupov said: "Until the end of my days, I will be faithful to our small glorious city, which has become my second Homeland, and I will help educate the young generation as long as I have the strength..." from 1956 to 1986, i.e. for 30 years, He worked in the Salsk city house of pioneers as the head of a children's film and photo Studio.

Raiskiy Konstantin Mikhailovich_x000D_ _x000D_ Raiskiy Konstantin Mikhailovich was born on December 5, 1915 in Tambov in the family of a railway worker. Since 1932, he worked as a teacher of physics and mathematics in a junior secondary school in the Sampurskiy district of the Tambov region. In June 1940, he was drafted into the Red Army and served until the end of August 1946. The Great Patriotic War found him on the western border, near the town of Lomzha, North-West of Bialystok. There, as head of the automobile electric station (NPP-3) of the 203rd separate sapper battalion of the 55th rifle division, he participated in the construction of reinforced concrete firing points. Under the powerful attack of the German-fascist troops, our troops had to retreat with heavy fighting. The division in which he served retreated with heavy fighting in the direction of the city of Baranovichi (Western front). The defense here did not have time to prepare in time, and therefore the Nazis could not be kept on this line. The remnants of the 203rd separate sapper battalion were ordered to withdraw along with equipment in the direction of Bobruisk-Mogilev-Orsha. In Orsha, the battalion was replenished with personnel, and began mining roads and possible routes of the German offensive on Vitebsk. Soon the sapper battalion was subordinated to the engineering Department of the Western front, which held the defense near the city of Dorogobuzh for almost a month and a half. On September 28, the Germans again went on the offensive, breaking through our defenses. Our units were forced to withdraw to Vyazma. On October 3-4, 1941, German aircraft launched massive bombing attacks on the headquarters of the Western front. The battalion suffered serious losses. I received an order to destroy the remaining material part. There were still cars, but there was no fuel, so they left only the most necessary things. I had to make my way through the forest roads, up to the village of Klimentevo, which is about 20 km from Mozhaisk. The exit turned out to be extremely difficult, we moved only at night. For 2 weeks, the soldiers ate almost nothing, froze – autumn came early. On October 20, vehicles were sent for the remaining personnel. On the basis of the sapper battalion, the 64th separate pontoon-bridge battalion was formed, where K. M. Rayskiy served as the head of the technical unit. He was then transferred to the newly formed 88th separate pontoon bridge battalion. In the future, the battalion provided a crossing on the Ugra river near the city of Przemysl. From March 1943 to February 1944, K. M. Raiskiy studied at the officer training courses. After that, he was sent to the 48th officer regiment, where he served as a senior teacher of military topography until June 1944. On June 15, he was assigned to the 3-d guards Stalingrad mechanized corps as a rifle company commander. On June 23, as chief of staff of the 3-d rifle battalion of the 9th guards mechanized brigade, he took part in the offensive near the Rudnya station. As a result of successful actions, the Soviet troops liberated the cities of Borisov, Minsk, Molodechnoe, Vilnius, and Shaulay… The Supreme commander-in-Chief K. M. Raiskiy was thanked. From September 1944 until the end of the war with Germany, he participated in the battles to hold the Kurland group of German troops in the Baltic States. This largely prevented the German command from using additional reserves in the battles for Konigsberg and Berlin. The war with Nazi Germany ended victoriously. For fighting in the Western, 3rd Belorussian, 1st Baltic and Leningrad fronts, K. M. Raiskiy was awarded the Order of the Patriotic War, 2nd class, order of the Red Banner, Medals "For Bravery" and others. After a three-month rest and re-formation, he was transferred to the Trans-Baikal Front to participate in the war with militaristic Japan. On September 3, 1945, the Kwantung Army surrendered. After the end of the war with Japan, he served in the 54th heavy tank-self-propelled regiment as chief of staff of the submachine gun battalion. He was discharged from the army on August 29, 1946. From September 11, 1946 until July 1977, he worked as a mathematics teacher at the 129th school of working youth in the Taganskiy district of Moscow." He died on 28.06.2010._x000D_ .
