Podtikhov Fedot Vasilyevich 03.03.1910 history: Rank: Red Army soldier. Military branch: artillery. My grandfather went to war in 1941, leaving his wife and five children in Stalingrad. Fedot Vasilyevich Podtikhov was the commander of the artillery crew. With his loud voice, he gave the command "Fire!". He fought from the first days of the war on the first Ukrainian front. During the retreat on the territory of Ukraine, he was seriously wounded. Unconscious, bloodied, he was picked up by a Ukrainian family. That's how my grandfather ended up in the occupied territory. His life was saved by the Malyukovs Ivan Ivanovich and Maria Abramovna. Risking themselves and their children, they hid a Soviet soldier from the Nazis in a specially built room at home. If anyone had found out about this, the entire Malyukov family would have been shot. It was in the Donetsk region, in the village of Balgan. A low bow to the Malyukov family, who saved our family Fedot Vasilyevich, the father of five children, grandfather 11 times. Now he is no longer with us, but great-grandchildren are born, continuing the grandfather's family.

This wound has been making itself felt for many years. And in the 70s, the leg had to be taken away. But my grandfather has always remained a strong and handsome man in my memory. After the war, he worked first as a baker on the Don, and then as a worker at a Volgograd factory. We often gathered with his whole family and enjoyed listening to his stories about the war. And the Malyukov family has become our family. They used to visit us. But at the end of the last century, the connection with them was cut off.

In 1944, my great-grandfather was drafted into the Soviet Army, he was 18 years old. He began his military service as the 3rd number of the mortar company of the motorized rifle regiment of the tank division. One day, when the soldiers were practicing shooting with machine guns and rifles in the valley of the Kerulen river, a soldier's messenger came running and shouted: "Victory! Victory! The fascists have capitulated!" It was may 9, 1945. The Great Patriotic war with Nazi Germany ended, but there was still Japan armed to the teeth, which occupied China, Burma, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Malaysia. Although there had been a peace Treaty between the Soviet Union and Japan since 1941, the Japanese developed the Kantokuen plan to conquer Transbaikalia and the Far East. Since 1941, our us allies have waged war with Japan in the Pacific, but they have not achieved any noticeable results. In addition, the British government estimated that to defeat Japan, you need to have 7 million army and 18 months. The Soviet Union pledged to enter the war with Japan within 3 months after the end of the war with Germany. In early August 1945, my great-grandfather's regiment was alerted and started a Hiking trip. In addition to the mortar carriage, it was necessary to carry a rifle, gas mask, ammunition, grenades, a pot, etc. It was a 40-degree heat wave, and my throat was dry. Although there was 1 liter of water in the flask, you can't drink without permission. So they went for several days, and one evening they were overtaken by cars. After loading their equipment into their vehicles, they now traveled light, day and night. On the fifth day, a car arrived with water. When they had drunk enough water, they gave them a few hours ' sleep. This day he remembered as one of the happiest days. On August 9, 1945, when the Soviet Union declared war on Japan, they crossed the border of the Mongolian people's Republic and Manchuria. The famous crossing of the Soviet troops through Bolshoy Khingan, where there was never any equipment, began. The Japanese fired at them from ambushes. There were concrete-reinforced emplacements in the mountains. From them, the Japanese fired at our troops. Once, the infantry and tanks went forward, leaving only one mortar company. Suddenly they saw people running out shouting "Banzai". They were Japanese. Jumping out of the cars, our people started firing mortars. Although they were shooting very fast, the Japanese were approaching rapidly. Many of our people were wounded and killed. When the Japanese were just a little bit left, they heard the noise of cars and shouts of "Hurrah!"from behind. An infantry regiment arrived in time and saved them. When they reached the city of Panamao, announced the surrender of the Kwantung army. Having lost the main military force, Japan capitulated. This was September 2, 1945. So in 23 days, Japan was defeated. For overcoming the Great Khingan, the great-grandfather was thanked by the Supreme Commander and awarded the medal "for the victory over Japan". After demobilization in 1950, he worked as Director of the House of culture in Nyurba, then head of the Department of culture of the Suntar district Council.

In January 1944, on the Baltic front, captain of the medical service Vera Ivanovna Parvitskaya, working as a resident in the surgical military field mobile hospital (HPPG 4189 4 UD.

In 1985, in honor of the 50th anniversary of the victory - the order of the Patriotic War II degree. Vera Ivanovna ends the war already in Konigsberg (present-day Kaliningrad) as a major in the medical service. Here is how V. I. Parvitskaya recalled the years of the great Patriotic war: "a Tent, an old dugout or a surviving barn in a burned village. The dim light of the "smoker", made from a shell casing, which the orderly kept at the operating table. Hastily put together bunks in two floors and the roar of explosions (after all, the front line is very close). This was our usual "working environment". And operations had to be done very different, sometimes very complex, to process hundreds of wounded. And then again and again to change the location, quickly, in a few hours to deploy to a new location and again operate, operate. As about happiness, we dreamed of a few hours of sleep and rest, just about silence." But on may 9, 1945, the war did not end for Vera Ivanovna Parvitskaya. And in the same year, 1945, it was immediately transferred to the far East, to Mongolia, where the Russian-Japanese war was still ongoing. She had a lot to see and experience in the war with the Japanese militarists, to help the Mongolian people in the fight against epidemics. There were awards, grateful eyes of the wounded returning from hospitals to the system. There Vera Ivanovna receives a personal certificate, signed by Stalin himself, for crossing the waterless Gobi desert.

The Baku military registration and enlistment office sent a young Komsomol member to military training. Nabisat perfectly mastered military weapons and became a machine gunner. Sergeant Pashayeva Nabisat Palchaevna became the Commander of the machine gun section. _x000D_ The younger sister Taibat at that time was already in Akhty with her mother. Her desire was great to avenge her dead brothers. Taibat completed medical courses and served as a medical instructor in 871st Infantry Regiment. At the front, she provided first aid. On her fragile shoulders, she carried hundreds of wounded soldiers. More than once she had to shoot at the Nazis, inserted fuses into grenades, and obtained valuable information about the location of enemy fire points. In August 1943, while bandaging a wounded soldier, Taibat was seriously wounded, but managed to help him, and only when it got dark, both of them were picked up by the nurses. After the hospital, she ended up in 161st Infantry Division and reached Berlin. Taibat Palchaevna was awarded the Order of the Red Star and several medals. _x000D_ Both Nabisat and Bunyam have state awards, (before the war Bunyam graduated from the Physics and Mathematics Faculty of Baku State University with honors), who also went through a hard combat path. After going through the whole war, Pashayev Bunyam Palchaevich returned to Baku, began to teach at ASU. Some time later he was invited to lead the physics department of the DSU in Makhachkala. He retired with the title of Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences. _x000D_ The Pashayev family is a model of patriotism, and at the moment when the Motherland needed them, they paid tribute to their country. Thanks to people like them, it was possible to defeat the worst enemy - fascist Germany and win the Great Victory, the price of which cannot be understood by those who were not in the war and did not experience its bitterness of losses. Eternal glory! NABISAT PASHAEVA IS MY MOTHER! I AM VERY Proud of My Mom!
