Title: Lieutenant GB Rank: Military and political personnel I want to tell about my great-grandfather Krylov Konstantin Pavlovich. I know about him from the words of my grandmother Krylova Nadezhda Konstantinovna. I don't know much about my great-grandfather. Konstantin Pavlovich Krylov was born on December 25, 1919 in Baku. His family by origin was a worker and peasant. There were three children in his family. He received a seven-year education at school. In 1939, his great grandfather began his military service as a Red Army soldier. In 1940 he was transferred to service in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and in 1942 was sent to Saratov for a six-month reconnaissance course in the Saratov Frontier School. After completing the course in 1943, he was hired to work in SMERSH (short for "Death to Spies!") - the name of a number of mutually independent counterintelligence organizations in the Soviet Union during World War II. He served as the head of the garrison and deputy chief of the outpost. During the war, by the nature of his service, he was in Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary and Yugoslavia. In 1946, he was discharged from service due to health reasons. In the Voronezh Military Hospital, where he was being treated, he met his future wife and they went to live in the city of Grozny. My great-grandfather became a turner and began working at the Grozny factory. For many years, his military past was classified. During perestroika, he was recognized as a participant and veteran of the Great Patriotic War. My great-grandfather said almost nothing about his service, so I know little about him.
