Revazova Vera Aleksandrovna_x000D_ _x000D_ Her name, the wounded soldiers repeated even in delirium. The name is probably given to a person for a reason. And the nurse Vera revazova, indeed, was in a hurry to help at the first call, pulling the wounded from the battlefield. A guardian angel with a medical bag at her side, she will forever remain in the memory of those whom she saved, to whom she gave her blood. Vera Revazova was born and raised in a simple peasant family with many children, in the village of Krasnogor, Ardon district. After finishing seven years, she entered medical school. I didn't study for long. The girl, who had just learned to provide first aid, had to "finish her training" at the front, where she got to after correcting the year of birth in the Komsomol ticket. She was eager to go to war, where her five brothers had gone before her, and she wanted to be useful to the Motherland. In Zmeyskaya village, in his native Ossetia, began her military journey. Vera received her baptism of fire near Mozdok on the night of December 31, 1942 to January 1, 1943. And the war ended for the brave nurse in Berlin and Prague, after which she had a chance to fight in Japan. From Zmeiskaya to Drohobych, Vera Alexandrovna fought as part of the 314th medical battalion of the 271st rifle division, and then, as a major in the medical service, in aviation, as part of the 13th medical battalion of the 2nd guards airborne division.

Runov Pavel Andreevich_x000D_ _x000D_ Our grandfather's name was Pavel Andreevich Runov, he was born on January 28, 1924 in the village of Maryinskoe, Ivanovo region, in a family of ordinary workers. In the army, my grandfather was called to Kronstadt, where he received the rank of Sergeant, and from there went to the front in Leningrad. My grandfather told me that during the defense of Leningrad, he was a driver. On September 8, warehouses where the city's main food supplies were stored were bombed. A fire broke out, completely destroying these warehouses; as a result, famine soon set in. Products, mainly bread, were issued strictly by cards. All the pigeons, cats, dogs, and even rats were eaten in the city. People walked the streets as thin as skeletons, died in the workplace, on the streets. Leningrad ran out of food, and only one road connected the besieged city with the Mainland. This road ran on water. Along this route came the first barges with food, and so on until late autumn. Each of their flights was a feat-enemy aircraft constantly made their raids, weather conditions were often also not in the hands of the sailors-the barges continued their flights even in late autumn, until the ice appeared. Road workers daily measured the thickness of the ice on the entire lake, but were unable to accelerate its growth. On November 20, the ice thickness reached 180 mm. Horse-drawn wagons came out on the ice, and then trucks with food. The ice was very thin, despite the fact that the truck was carrying only 2-3 bags of food, the ice broke, and there were frequent cases when trucks sank. At the risk of their lives, drivers continued their deadly flights until the spring. Military highway No. 101, as this route was called, allowed to increase the bread ration and evacuate a large number of people. The Germans constantly tried to break this thread that connects the besieged city with the country, but thanks to the courage and strength of the spirit of the Leningrad people, the "Road of Life" lived itself and gave life to the great city. The significance of the Ladoga highway is huge, it saved thousands of lives. My grandfather also recalled that the soldiers were exhausted, hungry, and dirty. In winter, at 40 degrees below zero, they were forced to melt snow, warm water, and wash to avoid lice. After that, many soldiers died of pneumonia. The siege of Leningrad lasted 900 days. After Leningrad was liberated, it was necessary to clear the area around the city, which the Germans had mined during the retreat. And my grandfather trained as a sapper and stayed in Leningrad until the end of the war to clear the city. After the war, my grandfather was awarded the medal for the defense of Leningrad and commemorative awards. He was also awarded the order of the Patriotic War, 2nd Class.

Ilya Rodionov Grigorievich_x000D_ _x000D_ Branch of service: army, air force (except marine aviation), the coast guard, the troops of the NKVD border troops. Division: 93rd guards rifle Kharkiv twice red banner order of Suvorov and Kutuzov division. My grandfather was considered missing, and he was a private soldier! Since I was a child, I knew that my grandfather (my mother's father) was missing at the front. That's what they said at the time. And then somehow everyone fell silent and tried not to answer my questions anymore, saying that you will grow up, you will understand. But in the early 1970s, we learned about a letter from the pioneers to my grandmother, which reported the discovery of a medallion of private Radionov Ilya Grigoryevich. Members of the search party in the forests of the Kursk region found this and other medallions of Soviet soldiers. There was a note inside my grandfather's locket that they used to find my grandmother. But she had long since left the village where she and five young children accompanied their father and husband to the war - the Great Patriotic war. This letter has not been preserved, but we all know that the remains of the red army soldiers were reburied from the forest in a mass grave at the Sazhnoye station in the Kursk region. My grandmother, Elena Radionova, really wanted to visit the places of death and burial of her husband. Each of us tried to comfort her somehow and do something nice. I did the same. In the family photo album, we had a photo of my grandfather, which captured him in a room against a decorative panel with a resort landscape. He was photographed during treatment somewhere in the South of the country. I took this photo from the album to the photo Studio, after asking my mother for money to restore the photo. The small photo was enlarged to a portrait. I gave these portraits to my grandmother and her children: my mother, uncle Volodya, aunt Tosa, aunt Shura, and aunt Raya. So, thanks to search engines, many years later we learned that Ilya Grigoryevich died in battle during the most tragic period of the military operation that went down in history under the name"battle of Kursk". The battle lasted from July 5 to August 23, 1943, and private Radionov went missing on July 14. It was during these days that the German-fascist troops of the army groups "Center" and "South" (field marshals G. Kluge and E. Manstein) launched a major offensive on the "Kursk bulge" trying to regain the strategic initiative lost in the battle of Stalingrad. And many soldiers of the opposing sides were left lying on the battlefields. The Soviet troops of the Central and Voronezh fronts under the leadership of army generals K. K. Rokossovsky and N. F. Vatutin repelled this massive onslaught, and then together with the troops of other fronts launched a counteroffensive and provided a turning point in the war. The bloodiest war continued. And my grandmother, not waiting for her husband, moved with the children closer to their relatives. And all the difficult war and post-war years, only thanks to their work and state care, they managed to raise all the children. In the late 1980-ies, when it was not grandma, one of her grandchildren asked the Central archive of the USSR Ministry of defense and received a certificate, as follows: "the Arrows 278 guards rifle regiment, guards division 93, private Rodionov Ilya Grigoryevich, born 1906, native KAZ. SSR, Tumen, called up by the Khobdinsky RVC, died on July 14, 1943, buried at Sazhnoye station, Kursk region." As the years passed, I wanted to tell the growing children more about their great-grandfather. But it turned out that I knew very little about him, and there was no one to ask. So, I started collecting and recording information about him. And last summer, together with his 17-year-old younger son, he went to Kazakhstan in search of the village from which he left for the front. When we got to the district center, I learned that now Khobdinskiy area called Kobdinsky. We decided to start the search with an obelisk, which should be in the Park in the center of the village. After walking around the village, we found a park, but it was in disrepair with traces of dismantling of some structures. We were advised to go to the new park where at the foot of the epic monument there are seven stone slabs, each of which is carved with the name of a hero who lived in different periods of the history of the peoples living on this land. We didn't find any information about Ilya Grigoryevich there, so we applied to the district akimat (district administration) where the head of the culture Department took patronage over us. And we used it to meet with old residents of the village, who remembered the Rodionov family and advised us to go to the former district center, and also to the small village of Karaganda. Then we were invited to the district military enlistment office, where we were shown the records in the registration logs in the office of the military enlistment office. The first pages of the magazine were badly damaged, but we were holding a magazine with the inscription on the cover - "Alphabet book". In it we found an entry under number 48 about the mobilization of private Rodionov I. G. on October 17, 1942. In the book of the dead and missing, we were shown an entry made on December 25, 1943. This record showed that the family was registered and handed an official letter notifying them of the missing person. Then we were given a Soviet UAZ for a trip to the former district center, where there is an obelisk with the names of dead soldiers carved on it near the village club. There, among dozens of names, we saw the name of my grandfather. So, it turns out that the grandmother could not visit the place where her husband is buried, but she came to this obelisk. She was looking at this "No one is forgotten and nothing is forgotten" sign. When she was here, she visited him. That's right they say: "It's not the fallen who need it — it's the living who need it." Then we went to the village of Karaganda. We were driving off-road and within an hour and a half we saw a village of mud buildings lined up on a single street. We were taken to one of the houses where an old woman lives, who as a child often visited the Rodionovs' house. Her stories about the simple village life of that time made everyone listen. As I returned home, I was mesmerized by the sense of belonging to the great trials that befell our relatives during the war years, and I thought about the kindness and care shown to us by the locals. Apparently so did my son, who broke the silence with the question: "do they know you here?". It was hard for him to believe in the unselfish participation of those who saw us for the first time and helped us find the small homeland of our ancestors. So, after a little research, we learned a lot about our relatives and the people around them in those "forties-fateful" years and living now. And we also learned that in several important documents, the name Radionov was written with the letter "o". But the search for new information should be continued, because judging by the dates of birth of children, Ilya Grigoryevich was wounded and was treated before the beginning of the great Patriotic war. It is known that he was called up for service in peacetime, and then participated in battles and was wounded. After treatment, he went home. Then another daughter was born. And then, as we now know, in October 1942, he was mobilized for war. S. Nikolaev, Orsk, July 2010

Rudenko (Vladykina) Maria Dmitrievna_x000D_ _x000D_ She was born in 1924 in the village of Lobanovo, Danilovsky district of the Volgograd region. Rank: red army soldier. Branch of service: army, air force (except marine aviation), the coast guard, the troops of the NKVD border troops. Before the war, Maria Dmitrievna Rudenko-Vladykina and her older sister lived and studied in Stalingrad. They made life plans, but the war destroyed everything. My sister was immediately called to the front in July (the medical school where she studied had an early release of nurses), and in the fall my father also went to the front. Maria continued to study at the pedagogical College. In the autumn, the city began to build defensive lines. Together with others, she worked on digging a pit for military installations in the garden of the drama theater named after M. Gorky. Then they dug trenches. But the anti-tank ditch was dug when it was already cold, the ground was frozen, and they, the stalingraders, beat the ground with crowbars, threw it up, and it crumbled… - And how I wanted to eat, - recalls Maria Dmitrievna, - I can't even describe. You sit and cry and nibble on the crumbs of these 400 grams of bread - and you won't see how you eat it. And we had to dig, we understood that well, and we all worked hard. But then I could not imagine that we will face that I, a girl, before leaving the army I led into the field the harvester to remove the bread under the troubled sky of Stalingrad that women farmers in the winter of 1943 will thresh the bread that two weeks master the lathe and will work as a Turner in Loboykovka MTS that will fight with the enemy and go from Stalingrad to the Oder, liberating Ukraine, Poland, will face close to the death and remain alive. Memoirs of a veteran in 1975: "in 1943, immediately after the final exams at the pedagogical school, at the call of the Central Committee of the Komsomol, I went to the front. My personal combat path began from the walls of Stalingrad in the 19th Separate battalion of the VNOS, which was part of the 62nd guard’s army under the command of General V. I. Chuikov. I was an observer-telephone operator and at the same time a Komsomol group member, a member of the Komsomol active part, edited the "Battle sheet" and wrote my front-line notes in the newspaper of our part. The task of the air defense observers was to warn the battery of a raid by enemy aircraft and prevent an attack on the protected object and further to the rear of the country. That is why we had to know all the types of German planes, Soviet planes and other countries that were in service with our army and be able to distinguish them by the noise of the engine. This was especially important at night, when the plane itself is invisible. It was also necessary to have a good knowledge of the device and the principle of operation of telephone sets used in the army, so that if necessary, any malfunction could be eliminated quickly and independently. We also had to be able to build a telephone line on our own and repair damage to it. Here is an example. There were battles for the liberation of the city of Dnepropetrovsk. Our unit stood on the protection of the railway, along which trains with manpower, military equipment and fuel were moving near Dnepropetrovsk. Dark autumn night. Drizzling rain, mud, slush. Another German air RAID began. And on the road, there was a train with fuel for military equipment. We sent a report to the RP on the signal "Air" and our anti-aircraft gunners met with fire. However, one Henkel 111 aircraft managed to break through and drop a bomb that hit the main tank of the train, but the locomotive drivers and the soldiers accompanying the train were able to quickly unhook and pull the burning tank from the main train, and at this moment we lost communication. I was given the task to restore the connection immediately. Our telephone cable ran from the observation post, which was located in an open field, along the village, then passed through a small river overgrown with reeds, then through the cemetery, forest belt and connected to the main line at the railway. I immediately went to complete the task. I walked, getting bogged down in the mud, meter by meter probing the cable, looking for damage, waded across the river, filled my boots with water, crossed the cemetery and almost at the railway found a wire break, repaired the damage and returned back. It was only when she entered the dugout that she felt the cold on her hands and the icy water on her booted feet. I would also like to describe such an episode from front-line life, when we crossed the bug river and entered the territory of Poland, a detachment of our female fighters passed through the city of Holmes, and Polish citizens greeted us with admiration and cheers. And you know what an indescribable feeling was in the soul of each of us! It is a great joy and pride for our Soviet Army, for our people, who drove out the fascist evil spirits from their land and continues to expel them from the enslaved countries of Europe, that we, Soviet girl soldiers, together with everyone participate in this great historical event." She served in the 19th separate battalion of the VNOS, which was part of the 62nd army under the command of V. I. Chuikov. She was a telephone operator. More than once it was necessary, risking life, with a coil and a machine gun in hands under attacks of fascists to establish communication between command posts… This happened in November 1944 in Poland. Then they were in the Lublin Voivodeship. The command instructed Maria Dmitrievna to deliver a secret package. We had to go through the forest. There was only one danger – to run into Akovtsy-Polish nationalists. And so, it happened: in the woods towards her came four home army soldiers with guns. She quickly buried the bag in the sand. The knowledge of the Ukrainian language and the fact that Maria Dmitrievna was dressed like a village saved her. In July 1945, the girls of the 19th battalion, including her, were demobilized. In August, Maria Dmitrievna came to visit relatives in the village of Chernukha. And since October 1945, she began to study in absentia at the Arzamas pedagogical school, then at the Arzamas teachers ' Institute (Gorky region). At the same time, she began working as a primary school teacher in the village of Verizki, and three years later she was transferred to the Motovilovsky school, where she worked until retirement. Maria Dmitrievna raised two sons: Alexander followed in her footsteps, works in one of the schools of Arzamas as a head teacher, and Mikhail, who graduated from MAI, works in Nizhny Novgorod, artistic Director of the Motovilovsky house of culture. Village Motovilova Arzamas district of Nizhny Novgorod oblast.

Rashov Gregory Dmitrievich_x000D_ _x000D_ Rank: Senior sergeant. Branch of service: army, air force (except marine aviation), the coast guard, the troops of the NKVD border troops. Division: 120th guards rifle Rogachev red banner order of Suvorov and Kutuzov division. My father, Grigory Dmitrievich Rashov, born in 1920, was drafted into the red army on 26.09.1940, on the day of his birth, he turned 20 years old. Already on July 13, 1941, as part of the Western front, he entered his first battle, and on July 25, 1941, he was wounded, but remained in the ranks. For a month, the troops held back the onslaught of the enemy. August 15, 1941 a group of fighters, which included my father, was ordered to cover the withdrawal of units. In this battle, my father was shell-shocked, and he and those who survived were surrounded. It was not possible to break through to their own, the front was moving further and further away from the Bryansk region, so they remained behind enemy lines, organizing the battle group "LIN" - Love and hate. In May 1942, the LIN group joined the Suvorov partisan detachment. The detachment was led by the head of the NKVD of the Bryansk region, who had fallen into the blockade with the pseudonym Zhukov. No one knew his real last name. Having a connection with Moscow and the headquarters of the partisan movement, the detachment received weapons, clothing, food, and medicine. The task of the partisan detachment was intelligence and subversive activities. Once again, having been behind enemy lines on a combat mission, a group of partisans was forced to evade pursuit. According to the father, they were already saying goodbye to life, because the fascists were catching up with them, the dogs were already barking. And then it was decided to go into the swamp. The partisans were completely submerged in the water, covered with raised moss, breathing through tubes that protruded above the water. They remained in this position for some time, until the danger was over. One day, my father and 2 other partisans were assigned to steal the mayor. Taking advantage of the opportunity, the partisans entered the office, disarmed him and took him out of the village, safely reaching their deployment. The partisans gave the Nazis a lot of trouble, and they tried their best to find out their location. In 1943, the unit was infiltrated by a spy, the head of the pow camp. But it was not long before he had to transmit the plans of the partisans; a group of escaped prisoners of war identified him, and he was shot. The partisan detachment was repeatedly blockaded when the Nazis wanted to destroy it. In one of these battles, my father was wounded and sent to the rear for treatment. In October 1943, the Suvorov detachment joined the red Army. From October 2, 1943, my father was already fighting in the 336th rifle regiment of the 120th guards red banner rifle division in the Bryansk-Belorussian front. On February 23, 1944, the division crossed the Dnieper river, and on February 24, 1944, it successfully stormed one of the oldest Belarusian cities – Rogachev. I remember my father's story about how he was sent to the platoon of penal guards, the next morning it was necessary to take the height. And the penalty takers were all majors and colonels. And here is a Colonel and he says: "You, son, in the attack, go behind us, we still die, and you can still live. And we know what to do and how to do it ourselves, without you." The height was taken, the Colonel was wounded and rehabilitated, and the next day the adjutant of this Colonel arrived in the regiment with an offer to his father to go to serve in his regiment, but his father refused, he got used to his regiment, his guys. The 336th rifle regiment participated in the assault on the fortress city of ostrolenka, in the battles to expand the bridgehead on the West Bank of the Narew river, in the East Prussian operation (January-April 1945), and in the defeat of the enemy group southwest of Konigsberg. As a result of the fighting for the liberation of Konigsberg, my father was awarded the medal "for the capture of Konigsberg". As part of the 336th rifle regiment, he also participated in the Berlin offensive. North of Frankfurt an der Oder, they were sent to eliminate a large group of enemy troops that were trying to break through to Berlin to help its garrison. Extract from the award list: "... when advancing to the height of 68.6, which is South-West of 1.8 km of the village. Eisenberg 15.3.1945, Department of Rashov Grigory Dmitrievich rapid throw first broke into the enemy's trench. In this battle, they destroyed 4 enemy firing points and 22 enemy soldiers, 10 people were taken prisoner. At dawn on 16.3.45, the enemy launched a counterattack. His squad did not flinch and mercilessly exterminated the enemy infantry, where up to 30 soldiers and officers were destroyed. The counterattack was repulsed. Worthy of a government award: "Order Of The Red Star". After eliminating the encircled enemy troops South-East of Berlin, their division was ordered to move into the depths of Germany, destroying the wandering fascist detachments. Through Potsdam, Brandenburg, and other cities, they reached the Elbe river on May 5. He did not have to participate in the famous meeting with the American troops on the Elbe: their regiment, battered and battered in battle, was withdrawn, and soldiers arrived in their place, dressed, as my father said, "like a needle." Here, on the Elbe, and ended my father's fighting path on the roads of war. He was awarded the order of the Red Star, medals: "For Bravery", "for the capture of Konigsberg", "for the Victory over Germany 1941-1945". My father was demobilized only in 1946.
