Rank: Red Army. Type of troops: Artillery. Subdivision: 17th Kiev-Zhytomyr Artillery Order of Lenin Red Banner Order of Suvorov Breakthrough Division. Shakhruzat was born in the family of collective farmers Musayevs, who worked in the Lenin agricultural cartel of the Sergokalinsky district. In 1940, after finishing seven years, she went to study in Baku for a six-month course in hydrometeorology. After graduating from the courses, she began to work at the Sergokalinsk weather station. And now the war. Shakhruzat was on the front line with all her heart, where her peers fought for the Motherland, where her beloved elder brother Rasul was. Therefore, when at the Komsomol meeting the secretary of the district committee began to say that women were also needed at the front, Shakhruzat without hesitation wrote a statement asking to send her as a volunteer. Once in East Prussia, the regiment, where Shahruzat was a radio operator, was surrounded. For six days the Soviet soldiers were in the ring of the enemy. Many died. Fifteen people survived. Food ran out, there were few cartridges. On the night of the seventh day, the commander says to Shakhruzat: "Well, Shurochka (that was the name of the young Dagestani fellow soldiers), get in touch with ours." The soldiers carefully wrapped Shahruzat in quilted jackets so that the enemies would not hear the transmission. The girl began: - Wave! Wave! I am the Hawk. Can you hear me? There are 15 of us left. Let me leave the encirclement! “Volna” replied: - Hold on, comrades, so that the enemy does not understand that you are not enough. We'll let you know when the path is clear. The next morning, artillery fire began. A shrapnel wounded Shakhruzat in the leg. The leg is swollen. My head was spinning from malnutrition and fatigue. But when, on the eighth night, "Volna" announced the best way to get out of the encirclement, the girl gathered the last of her strength and got up. It was difficult to walk. Shakhruzat's partner Vanyusha took the radio. But she, of course, kept the machine gun with her ... After being wounded, Shakhruzat ended up in the medical unit. While she was being treated, her comrades went far ahead. The girl was sent to the Volkhov front, to the artillery regiment of the 17th artillery division of the reserve of the High Command, to a platoon, where the commander was the Dagestani Biigishi Ibragimov. Biigishi was from the village of Verkhnee Kazanishche. The war began as a pilot of the fifth separate air squadron of the Central Front. In July 1941, he was seriously wounded and was in the hospital. After being wounded, he was forbidden to fly, and he fell into the artillery. Shahruzat was under his command until the end of the battle against fascism. The whole war is near. Together they stormed Berlin and liberated Prague. Front-line friendship has grown into true great love. The young people decided - we will stay alive - we will return to our homeland after demobilization and get married. And now the long-awaited victory. Shahruzat has three medals: "For Military Merit", "For the Liberation of Prague", "For Victory over Germany." And Biigishi - the same, and even "For Courage" and two orders - the Red Star and the Patriotic War of the 1st degree. After a while, Shahruzat was demobilized, and Biigishi received leave. Together they go home. 20 days of travel - 20 days of thinking about life, about happiness, memories and hopes. We arrived in Makhachkala at one in the morning. Biigishi put Shakhruzat on a train that was supposed to take her to Inchkhe (from there she was going to get home by a passing car). In parting he shouted to his beloved: “Wait! I'll be there soon!". It would seem that everything is clear: Shahruzat will be a good friend to him. Feeling tested and checked. They shouldn't part. But when Biigishi came to his aul and told his family about his intentions, his father and all his relatives were indignant: “How is that? We don't want a girl from another area. We have prepared a bride for you here. You won't go anywhere! " But Biygishi decided firmly: I will not back down from my word. And he went to his beloved. In Buinaksk he met a friend of his childhood, demobilized Magomed Chegemov (then he was a veterinarian of the Buinaksk state stables, now he works in Makhachkala as the head of the Dagestan republican administration for the procurement and processing of milk). I told him about my misfortune. “Don't worry,” he promised, “I'm taking over negotiations with my family. On the way, the friends met a senior lieutenant - a sergokalin, also a vacationer. He turned out to be Chegemov's study friend and was on his way to see his relatives. In Sergokal, they stayed at the house of the Ramazanovs, the lieutenant's relatives. Biigishi was impatient to see his beloved. They sent for Shahruzat. When the girl entered the house, her eyes lit up with joy: "I have arrived!" And she did not even suspect that such a surprise awaits her here. Then Biigishi and his friends found the girl's father. He worked at a mill three kilometers from the village. Old Kurbanali somehow immediately became imbued with confidence in young people in military uniform. Having listened to Biigishi's story, he said: - Well, I don't mind. The main thing is that you love each other.
