Ryabokon (Khrabrova) Olga Ivanovna_x000D_ _x000D_ A simple girl Olga in 1939 graduated from the Pskov paramedic midwifery school and in 1940 already worked in a hospital. In the early morning of June 22, 1941, the war disturbed the peaceful sleep of the Motherland for many years. A deadly, soulless, treacherous war forever changed the fate of millions of people and its fate. On June 23, 1941, Olga Khrabrova, with the rank of "foreman", was called up to the ranks of the Workers 'and Peasants' red Army, where she became a nurse at the field mobile hospital No. 4315 of the NKO. Military-sanitary trains, making their way from the "boilers", the hottest places on the front line, took out a huge number of wounded soldiers. With other such young nurses, my grandmother helped to receive wounded red army soldiers at the stations. For days, along with doctors, nurses stood at operating tables. Often ambulance trains were shelled and bombed. My grandmother recalled how after a heavy sleepless night, she rested... she sat with her back pressed against the pillow. Suddenly, German planes flew in and the shelling started. My grandmother had barely time to get up from her seat when the pillow shattered into feathers and a bullet hit her. My grandmother was only seconds away from death. Everything was mixed up in dust and smoke. When the smoke cleared a little, nurses ran to the screams and moans, looking for survivors and trying to save the wounded. In 1945, she was demobilized, but on the instructions of the hospital command, she was sent by a senior nurse to a Sanatorium of the Highest Command staff in Landeck (Baden-württemberg, Germany). In that sanatorium in Landeck, my grandmother, Olga Ivanovna Khrabrova, and my grandfather, a pilot, Junior Lieutenant Alexey Ryabokon, who was recovering from injuries sustained as a result of a hard landing of a downed plane, met and fell in love with each other. In 1947, they got married and went to their grandfather's new place of service in Tbilisi. Where, in 1948, a happy young couple had a daughter, Agnes, my mother. After his grandfather was dismissed to the reserve, they moved to the city of Baku, where since 1949 he has been serving in the MGB in the 17th police Department of Ordzhonikidze district, as the head of the passport office. It wasn't possible to live a long, happy life and die in one day... In 1955, Alexey Ryabokon died of an illness caused by a war injury. From 1952 to 1979, my grandmother worked at The Bina airport in Baku in the regulatory Bureau. She was highly respected by her colleagues as the best employee and veteran of the Great Patriotic War. After the death of my grandfather, my grandmother lived a long 34 years, preserving love and loyalty to only one person, her Alyosha. She did not like to talk about what happened during the war years, and did not consider what she did in the war a feat. And she showed her medals only when she was strongly asked to do so. She said that she holds the awards in her hands and asks for forgiveness from those whom she did not save.

But farm labor has known before. My father and mother worked on the collective farm from morning to night. His mother, Maria Vasilyevna, was put on the Red list for her good work. At the age of fifteen, Andrey Vasilyevich also began working on the collective farm: he plowed on oxen, sowed, and performed other work. He was even trusted to train young bulls in the furrow, as an experienced Plowman, which he recalls with some pride. He was not accepted into the army because of poor eyesight. In 1940, recruiters came to the village to recruit young people for the construction of the Molotov Siberian railway. Andrey Vasilyevich also enlisted. I liked my job. The young people were cheerful and hard-working. I learned the news of the war there. Soon they wrote from home that my father was fighting at the front. In April 1942, Andrey Vasilyevich was also drafted into the army. The topographical detachment to which he was assigned was sent to the far East. We worked 80 kilometers from the border with China: we photographed the area and put it on maps. In October of the same year, the detachment returned to the 387th rifle regiment, and preparations began for sending to the front - the Smolensk direction.

And soon the front again. Now Andrey Vasilyevich fought in the 88th division of the 33rd Belarusian army in the group of 22 reconnaissance battalions. With this battalion, he passed Belarus, liberated Poland. Most often, the squad received a task-to take the "language". Andrey Vasilyevich doesn't remember how many of them were delivered to the headquarters. But then one day "language" turned out to be an important figure, because the whole group was presented for awards. Andrey Vasilyevich-to the order of the red Star. But, as often happened at the front, after the announcement of awards, the battalion went further, and the well-deserved order found a soldier not soon. In 1944, our countryman was seriously wounded. He was evacuated from a Polish hospital to Minsk and from there to Ufa. In Ufa, he was treated for a long time, and there he learned about the end of the war. He returned home in February 1946 as an invalid. Two years later, the award came. In the Rovensky district military Commissariat, he was awarded the order of the red Star. Andrey Vasilyevich also has other awards - the order of the Patriotic war of the first degree, the medal "for the victory over Germany".

They took our weapons and drove us to the village… And at night, the commander of the 1st company came running to us and said that we should shoot. But our company officer cut him off, so as not to spread panic. There was also a girl nurse. She started crying and asked to be shot.

The report was made later, as you can see on page 1 of this report, based on emails not received by the recipients. that's right, the rest of the documents were destroyed or lost during the retreat. another document that you probably looked at is the RVC summary. it was made later and the date was set from the list of losses by mistake. Most likely, Romanov E. N. died on July 25-27 near Kh. Cysewski when 783 SP suffered particularly severe losses and retreated. Ie the fate of the deceased were not known. We have been working in those parts for three years (mostly for 811 SPS) and we can say with confidence that most of the missing soldiers of 229 SD died, and did not surrender or were captured.
