And if he did tell something sometimes, he often stopped talking and stared at a single point. Yes, he kept saying: "...God forbid we should go through this." Mostly, those were the stories from my grandmother. Now I share them with son. _x000D_ My grandfather was born and raised in the Tambov region in the village Kulevcha. The family had 9 children.

Makarova Nadezhda Ivanovna_x000D_ _x000D_ I was born in 1922 in the Kuibyshev region, in the village of Natalyevka. Childhood was good and poor, there were friendly parents in the family of 4 children. I lived and studied in kolkhoz and finished 4 classes. I remember a hut about 30 meters in the village where we lived until I was 12 years old. There is a closet near the Russian stove, where my mother was preparing dinner. Dad grinded grain, mom baked delicious bread, pies, and even for the kolkhoz. _x000D_ But in 1932 there was a famine, the harvest was gone. Many left the village and we did as well. We put our belongings in the sleigh, covered with Dad's sheepskin coat. We arrived to another kolkhoz. First time we went to the village, my dad and I changed my mother’s sweater skirts and her hussars, in which she probably got married. We lived in one room with another family, there were three of them and six of us. And when I was 13, I went to work, sorting potatoes in the basement, and other children were like that too. We come home from work and we saw firewood with my dad. This is my childhood. In the summer I worked with my mother on weeding and sorting in the barn. Mom poured grain into the sorting machine for me, and I took turns doing the light work for her, raking off the grain. _x000D_ At the age of 18, I went to my grandmother in Chelyabinsk, where I found a job by recruiting on the sandy plant "Stankomash", where I worked until 1943, then went to the front with a friend. I was taken into the Artillery Regiment No. 1865, where I was a gunner on an 85 mm cannon. There were few men, only girls. I was in the hospital where I met for the Victory Day on May 9. The war is over and the cannons were silent, we celebrate Victory Day, the best day of the year. Glory to the lost friends and commanders. After the war I went to the plant "Stankomash" again, worked in workshop No. 1. _x000D_ I have awards: a medal "For Victory over Germany", the Order of the Patriotic War and 7 anniversary awards.

NIKOLAY KIRILLOVICH SERBAEV (1911-2000). Rank: Colonel Unit: 250th rifle Bobruisk Кed banner order of Suvorov division MAJOR NIKOLAY KIRILLOVICH SERBAEV, FORMER CHIEF of STAFF. 790 Red banner order of Alexander Nevsky artillery regiment. "Military circumstances have developed so that when the 107th motorized rifle division was withdrawn to the second echelon of the 30th army after heavy summer fighting at the Western front in the battle of Smolensk, the heavy artillery division under my command reinforced the 250th rifle division. Despite our best efforts, our plan was not destined to come true. On October 2, 1941 large German forces went to the offense. Having superiority on the ground and in the air, in the evening of October 4 they already captured the city of Bely and tried to encircle the troops of the 30th army in this area. At the time when my 107th motorized rifle division was breaking out of the encirclement, an artillery division of 152-mm howitzers under my command and two divisions of the 790th artillery regiment supported the withdrawal of units and divisions of the 250th division through the cities of Bely and Rzhev. On the multi-day journey from Bely to Torzhok, despite the depressing morale of the retreat, interruptions in the supply of shells, fuel, food and constant shortage of baked bread, soldiers and commanders in dilapidated overcoats and caps, under drizzling rains, in conditions of night frosts and ice did not panic, they acted boldly and resourcefully, selflessly fought battles on the fourteen intermediate lines of retreat. Troubles followed one another along the way. Eight onboard ZIS-5 and two fuel trucks headed by the division Commissar I.S. Akhtimirov and the commander of the combat food platoon, Junior Lieutenant N.I. Ryabichev that were sent before the "Typhoon" to the army base for ammunition and fuel did not return from the Kanyutino station. In this regard, the batteries were constantly experiencing a shortage of shells, fuel and lubricants. In search of kerosene for the tractors, the soldiers had "to look" sheds and cellars when passaging of the settlements. Once, on the way to Rzhev a chance came to the rescue. Using my seniority, the rank of captain at dawn I detained GAZ-AA vehicle, alarmist military technicians with two barrels of gasoline. This allowed the tractor drivers, contrary to the operating instructions of Nati-5 tractors, to mix gasoline with kerosene and fill the tanks. Upon arrival to Rzhev, at the oil depot engulfed in fire, tractors and cars were refueled with reserve that was enough to reach the town of Gruziny. In Rzhev, the batteries were replenished with 152-mm shells, charges and partially food. When the 250th division headquarters passed the bridge over the Volga river in Rzhev on October 14 and settled down in the village of Galakhovo, I received the assignment from the division's chief of artillery, Colonel V.I. Chistyakov to cover the military troops passing over the communal bridge with artillery fire from the firing positions at the Northern outskirts of Rzhev, the commander's observation post in the city archive building (the former Church, now the Victory obelisk is built on that place). The batteries were ready for the action, but I didn't have to open fire. In the end of October 15, the sappers demolished the openwork iron city bridge. This was a prearranged signal for the curtailment of the division's order of battle and the following regiments of the division to Shetinino, Noviy Rukav and Mologin. In the village of Noviy Rukav enterprising foreman of the Bashkir division Yantsufin got two bags of flour. By agreement with the local women, they baked delicious pancakes for the entire staff during the night in their ovens. How grateful our soldiers were to them for home-made bread! It is an incredible pity that a month later, when distributing food from the camp kitchen, the petty officer Yantsufin was killed in a Junkers bomb attack in the village of Emmaus in Kalinin region. On the way from the city of Bely to Torzhok, the actions of the soldiers, sergeants and officers were truly heroic. During the counteroffensive in the winter of 1941-1942, after the liberation of Kalinin and the withdrawal of parts of the 250th division to the Rzhev area within a few days of January we had to unsuccessfully attack the stronghold of Gushchino. By January 23 at the line of Nemtsevo, Koltunovo, Gridino, Sobakino, Ramnitsy, Pruzha the shelves went on the defense. The headquarters of the 790th artillery regiment was located in the village of Valentinovka. The command of the regiment was changed.. The commander, his Deputy and the Commissioner had received higher positions. I, the chief of staff, was given the next rank of a "major". It is almost improbable that three chief officers from the regiment's command would simultaneously depart for a new duty station, but in the war everything could happen. In order to help the troops of the 39th army break out of the encirclement, the 250th division made a night march on March 10, 1942 and was again placed at the disposal of the commander of the 30th General D.D. Lelyushenko. After hard fight we took over Dorogino, Panovo, Ovsyannikovo and the forest to the South. But with frequent tank counterattacks and massive artillery and mortar fire, we managed to disrupt our success. Difficult operational situation, lack of tanks and air support, aggravated by the thaw, made it difficult to bring ammunition, food and fodder. In those days, the soldier and commander per day had 2-3 pieces of dry bread and no more than 200g of whea concentrate."

My mother told me that she really wanted to become a ballerina, danced in a circle, pulled a leg and dreamed of a big stage, the audience and applause. In 1941, no one came to her birthday party. Everyone gathered at the military enlistment office to be the first to get to the front. In the same year, she was enrolled in special, at that time Bershet camps (Kungur). My mother was taught a lot there, after which she was a very good shot, was an excellent student and went to the front in 1942 as a machine gunner of the 20th anti-aircraft machine gun regiment. Their division was commanded by Konstantin Rokossovsky. At that time, a lot of Ural and Siberian girls were called to protect Moscow. My mother stood with a wooden, black-painted gun on the important buildings of the capital. These were the Kalibr factory, the Bolshoi theater, and many other important objects. Then long and bloody battles near Mozhaisk, koloch station, where for the first time she was wounded in the neck by counter fire from an enemy plane. On June 22, 1943, already somewhere near Smolensk, the girls from the regiment decided to celebrate the birthday of their friend Verochka. We exchanged alcohol for chocolate from the pilots, made tea and decided to decorate the table with flowers. The three of them went to the field. Mom stepped on a mine, the blast wave threw her, but her combat friends were killed. She survived, but lost one leg. Hospital, operation after operation, crutches... Yes, my mother did not become a ballerina, her old dream did not come true, but even in the harness of the prosthesis, she still gracefully whirled to the rhythm of the waltz. Never once did anyone guess that she was missing a leg, but when they found out, they applauded her, stood in line to dance with her and gave her flowers. My mother gave birth to and raised three sons and six grandchildren. Despite her disability, she worked for many more years. On June 22, my family no longer celebrated my mother's birthday. This day became a day of remembrance and mourning. The greatest and most important day in her life was Victory Day on may 9. It won't be long before there won't be a single one of those who fought, died, and survived this damned war. Eternal memory of the heroism of the soldier inscribed in the pages of the history of our great state.
