Born on November 16, 1916 in the village of Iske Kesher in the territory of the modern Sarmanovsky district of Tatarstan. Having behind him a seven-year school and work experience on a collective farm, in 1935 he moved to Kazan, where, earning his living by working as a digger, a year later he successfully passed the exams at the technical school of Soviet trade. Here he showed himself as a public activist - he took part in literary and musical evenings, went in for sports, was the head of a circle of shooters. After graduating from the technical school, Zinnat Khasanov began working as a commodity expert in Kirov. Three months later he was drafted into the army and sent to courses for junior command personnel. In July 1941, with the rank of lieutenant, he was sent to the front. Commanding a company in the battles near Moscow, Zinnat Khasanov was captured. In the summer of 1942, in the Demblin camp, he met and became friends with Gaynan Kurmashev, and through him with Musa Jalil. In the Idel-Ural legion, Zinnat Khasanov, on the instructions of the underground workers, distributed propaganda leaflets. Later he became a liaison between Jedlin and Berlin. Together with other Jalilovites, he was arrested in August 1943 for underground activities in the Idel-Ural legion. In February 1944, the Second Imperial Court of Germany sentenced Zinnat Khasanov to death. The verdict was carried out in the Pletzensee prison on the guillotine on August 25, 1944 at 12:30. By the decree of the President of the USSR of May 5, 1990, Zinnat Khasanov was posthumously awarded the Order of the Patriotic War of the 1st degree - for courage and heroism, active underground activity against the German fascist invaders.

During the War and until 1946, Lyubov Pavlovna lived in the village of Metrofanovka (Mitrofanovka) in the New Prague district of the Kirovograd region. In the winter of 1943, together with her friend Shura Divichenko, she went to the field for beets. Four kilometers from the village, the girls saw that on the road, along the landing, German signalmen were pulling a coil with red wires, realized that the Germans were stretching the telephone connection, and decided to damage the wire. They cut down several meters of wire with shovels, and then hid in the landing until dark, afraid to return home, because the Germans forbade leaving the village. When the friends came home late at night with a coil of wire, they learned from their relatives that the Germans were looking for partisans in the village, who broke the connection and took 10 men hostage. If the partisans are not handed over, the hostages will be shot and the village will be burned. The uncle with whom Lyuba lived, having found out where the girls got the wire, said that he would give them to the Germans to save the village and the lives of the villagers. Friends cried all night, it was terrible to die at 14 years old. The next morning, my uncle told me that the Germans had caught an old man coming from another village, accused him of destroying communications, and shot him. No one ever found out what really happened. In the summer of 1945 in the village came another uncle, Podgorny, Fedor Ivanovich (the nephew of Podgorny Nikolai Viktorovich, who later became Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR), which told how the guerrillas, taking out their cattle from three villages received a message that they should bomb the Nazis, telephony runs on the airfield. But people crossed into the forest without interference, there was no bombing because someone cut the wires and thus saved people from death. When the uncle found out who had damaged the telephone connection, he suggested that Lyuba go to the military enlistment office and tell about it, but the girl was too shy to go barefoot, and there were no shoes. Shura had left the village by that time, and she doesn't even know how many people and livestock her friends saved from destruction. My mother Lyubov Pavlovna lived a long working life. She built the city of Temirtau on virgin land in the Karaganda region in Kazakhstan. She told us a lot about the war and the heroism of our people. I'm proud of my mom.
