Klavdia Dmitrievna was born in the village of Kluchiki, Sychevsky District, Smolensk Region. When the war started, Klavdia was 15 years old and graduated from the 7th grade of school. All men went to the front, there were women, old men and teenagers left. All the work went to them, because young women had small children. It was time to harvest and it was hard: there were no equipment and the army took almost all horses. Everyone harvested grain the way they could, grinded grain on millstones and baked cakes. The summer passed like this, and the Germans were walking without a stop. The German also stepped on their land: on October 13, 1941, they entered the village on motorcycles with their fascist flags. The Germans went to every house and took everything: warm clothes, food, all livestock, even it was immediately killed and taken away with them. Once, fascists saw a village boy wearing a helmet with a star on his head, so they pulled the helmet off his head with bayonets and pulled the whole thing apart into small pieces, and the boy was grabbed by the collar and was to be drowned in a well. But his mother was crawling on her knees and asked for mercy. And, a crowd of women defended him. The fact that the Germans had an interpreter helped and let the boy go. And then, for another week the Germans went, drove, carried all sorts of guns, placed defense near Sychyivka. It was their district town, about twenty kilometers from the village. Then battles began, the Germans began to attack and take the nearest cities. Villagers were digging trenches, because the shootings began. During the day they sat in the trenches, and spent the night at home. Frosts began. One night our guerrillas came to the village Klyuchiki, and the Germans had already made an ambush in the church, five kilometers from the village. When the Germans learned that the partisans had come to the village, they began to bomb around the village. Young people and those who could work at night were digging trenches. When they were bombed, they sat in trenches. But still many people were killed. So they lived till spring,until our army came. Everyone was asked to be evacuated, but there was nowhere to go. There were fights, everything burned: Smolensk, Vyazma, Rzhev. And on May 15 all people went into the depths of the forest with babies and small children. They built huts in the woods from fir trees, ate clover porridge and linden buds. And by May 20 Klyuchiki village was burnt almost completely. Nobody had hope to return home anymore. Everybody appeared to be surrounded, but soon soldiers came and told that they broke through the ring and there is an exit to Kalininskaya region. Klavdia Dmitrievna, together with her mother, brother, he was 10 years old and a seven-year-old sister, moved on her way to the Beloe junction station. At the station, they were to board a freight train and leave for Bologoye. But it didn’t happen - suddenly, planes flew in and the bombing started. They were hiding under the carriages, thank God, and survived. The whole railway was broken. Then, they walked for a long time, and then they got to Bologoye in our military car - the driver stopped and offered to help. They drove for a long time, because there were air raids, they had to leave the car and take cover. However, Klavdia Dmitrievna's family got to Bologoye and went to the people where there was a distribution of refugees. At first, they were sent to the south, but they asked to go to Yaroslavl region, as all their collective cattle was moved there, before the Germans came. In Yaroslavl, the district executive committee told them that their cattle was in Danilovsky Raion and they went there. They started to work at a collective farm and their life slowly began to get better. Klavdiya's father returned after the war on crutches, as his legs were broken. In 1951, Klavdiya Dmitrievna.

I, Zhilyakov Fedor Mikhailovich, was born on December 16, 1919 in Totskoe village, Totsky district, Orenburg region in the family of a poor peasant. My father, Zhilyakov Mikhail Borisovich, remained an orphan from childhood and until 1905 lived and was brought up by strangers. My mother, after my father's death, was engaged in agriculture; the farm was poor. In 1929, she joined a collective farm. In 1959, she died. In 1929 I went to school.

The long and eventful life was lived by the veteran of war and labor Leonid Mikhailovich Zhuravlev (1.06.1913 - 21.09.2008). From his rich biography we can judge about the history of our country over the past 90 years. That's how much the warrior and worker experienced in battles and peaceful construction. Leonid Mikhailovich was born in 1913, on the eve of World War I, in a peasant family in the village Dmitrovsky Likhoslavlsky district, Tver province. He graduated from 5th grade in his native village, another 3 - in Tver. Fifteen-year-old boy entered the labor life in Donetsk, worked as a hammerheader. After learning to be a locksmith in the factory, was sent to Yuzovka mechanical plant, then to the Donetsk Metallurgical Plant. After a hard working day he went to evening training courses for admission to the Institute. After becoming a student of mechanical faculty of the Institute of silicates, the young worker moved to Kiev. After graduating from the Institute he was sent to the Urals to the trust "Soyuzasbest", where he worked until he was drafted into the Red Army in December 1940. Leonid Mikhailovich's army service began in the Far East. He served first in the cavalry, then in the motorized infantry. He became platoon commander of a motorized regiment in Komsomolsk-on-Amur, trained military drivers. Then he was transferred to the Khabarovsk Infantry School, at the end of which he became a junior lieutenant. He was trained at the border guard. Then he became platoon commander with anti-tank rifles. By that time, the war with the Germans was over, and troops from the Western fronts were moving eastwards. As part of the 211th rifle regiment Zhuravlev crossed the border and smashed, along with all, the Kwantung Army. In two battles on the way to Harbin many of our soldiers died. Nevertheless, the spirit of the army, which defeated Hitler, turned out to be much stronger than the Samurai one. Soon, the enemy surrendered. From Harbin, some of them were moved first to Vladivostok, and then sent by ships to Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. Leonid Mikhailovich served there for a year, he was demobilized in 1946. On advice of the Ministry he was sent to Syzran to the locomotive plant. Designer L.M. Zhuravlov plunged into peaceful work. He had to design all types of products during his 40-year activity at the plant. He started with locomotives and corn combines, worked on hydraulic turbines, developed ball and drum mills. The glorious labor milestones in the biography of the veteran are evidenced by numerous (more than 40) records of gratitude in the labor book, Certificates of Honor and Diplomas. To the front awards - the Order of the Red Star, the Great Patriotic War and the medal "For the victory over Japan" - added and awards for peaceful work: an anniversary medal to the 100th anniversary of Lenin, signs "Kamskaya Hydroelectric Power Station" and "Excellent social competition MTE and TM", as well as "Winner of social competition in 1973" and "Winner of social competition in 1979. Leonid Mikhailovich was also noted as a mentor to young people, and as an active innovator, a member of the VDNKh, a voluntary national squad, as well as for active participation in the development of the first Cat hydro turbine (1953), and in the construction of the Volga hydroelectric power plant (1958). Since December 1960, Zhuravlyov worked as the head of the Design Bureau, since 1976 - as the head of the OGK group, since 1977 - as the head of the group of the dust preparation equipment department. He went on a well-deserved retirement in June 1986.

In June 1941, he was drafted into the Red Army in Voronezh Region in 61th separate Motto Ponto-Bridge Battalion. In the rank of petty officer, he overestimated his age by 5 years and took command of the unit. His battalion was building bridges across rivers. He participated in the defense of Moscow, from October 28, 1941 to January 25, 1942, as the commander of the branch. He was awarded the Medal for the Defense of Moscow (31.10.1944.) In February 1943, Ivan Moiseevich and his detachment were building a high water bridge, despite the artillery fire, and the bridge being destroyed twice. Thanks to this, the tanks crossed to the opposite shore and repulsed the territory from the enemy. Ivan Moiseevich received the first medal "For Combat Merit" (22.02.1941.) 17.09.1943. Battalion carried out the task of building a bridge across the Desna River, near Ordzhenikidze. Our troops, having taken the opposite bank, could not move forward due to the lack of division and corps artillery. The speed with which the bridge was built was crucial for the development of the offensive. Thanks to its commander, who stood in cold water and did his work quickly and clearly, the squadron, following the example of its commander, unloaded pontoon vehicles approaching the bridge and built the bridge, while at the same time helping other squads. The department's dedicated work ensured that the work was completed ahead of schedule. The artillery and ammunition vehicles were transported to the other side of the bridge across the Desna River without delay. Ivan Moiseevich and his department also ensured the early construction of the pier. In addition, he scouted and marked the ford for heavy tanks. Tanks having crossed on the opposite coast, went straight into battle. He was awarded the Order of the "Red Star". (02.10.1943). The construction of the bridge over the Druta River, under heavy artillery fire, was also completed ahead of schedule. Ivan Moiseevich, while building a road across the floodplain of the river Droots, acted for the platoon commander. His platoon perfectly coped with the task. In the conditions of enemy art.gunfire they built a bridge within 5 hours, while the platoon ensured the passage of cargo on its section. While performing combat missions, Ivan Moiseevich acted with courage and selflessness. He was awarded the Order of "Patriotic War" of the 2nd degree (11.07.1944). Ivan Moiseevich was a very courageous and brave man! Also participated in the Soviet-Finnish War! I WILL REMEMBER! I AM PROUD!

There are no military documents left from Zinaida Alekseevna Zhirova, my mother, except a photo and her stories. Before the war, my mother lived in the village of Begeevo, Penza region. The war began in the morning after graduation party at school. The whole class immediately went to the military recruitment office to go to the front. Mom was assigned to a radio communications course. After the course, she was sent to work in Moscow at the Stalin (USSR leader) communications center with the fronts. Communication center was located in underground bunker near Kirovskaya metro station. The entrance to the bunker was located in the tunnel, where metro trains passed. She reached it by walking down a long escalator and walked straight on rails. When the train approached, she ran to special niches and pressed tight against the wall. The trains at the station did not stop and flew past un-lit platforms with great speed. The Kirovskaya station and the entrance to the bunker were guarded by the military. Mom worked as a communications officer in the bunker during the entire war. The work was secret; it was forbidden to tell where and who you worked as. Sometimes they would be given chocolates in rations (a ration - a set of products designed to feed the soldiers); mom would not eat them - she would put them in a suitcase to bring to her younger sisters and brother, who had been starving in the village during the entire war. During the war, Moscow was all dark, the lights in the streets were not switched on at night, and all windows were tightly curtained so that the bombers could not see the city. Air balloons were raised above the city, to protect against attack by diving and low-flying aircraft. At the beginning of the war, the city was bombed almost every night. As the planes approached, an air siren sounded and women, old people and children descended to the bomb shelter, while those on duty rose to the roofs and put out the incendiary bombs dropped from the planes. After the victory during the parade of our troops, all the enemy flags were thrown into a pile on Red Square near the Mausoleum and Nazi captives were carried through the city. After the war, my mother graduated from medical school and worked as a dentist all her life. Location: Begeevo village, Penza region. The village of Neverkino, Penza region, Moscow, Sursk, Penza obl., Maykop, Tuapse, Moscow.

On January 12, 1942 Klavdia Ivanovna volunteered for the front and was assigned to the 89th Rifle Division of Yerevan, which in 1943 was awarded the honorary title "Tamanskaya" for its successful fighting on the Taman Peninsula. The battle way of Klavdia Ivanovna passed through Essentuki, Temryuk. In autumn 1943, the division in which she fought, conducts fierce battles on the Taman Peninsula, and in December of the same year, it was already fighting on the Crimean Peninsula - in Kerch. Klavdiya Ivanovna recalled: 'In one of the battles, when I crawled after wounded fighter, German tank started to iron us, and I managed to hide in the funnel. The tankers perfectly saw that there was a girl with a red cross on the bag in front of them, but still they continued to press and spin the tank on this funnel. My fellow fighters saw me ironed by the tank and did not hope to see me alive. The commander could not stand and gave the order to counterattack to repel this piece of the earth and to bury me humanly, with soldier's honors. When they excavated the funnel, I was alive, but was unconscious, I miraculously survived, and was urgently sent to the medical officer. After a while, the front again. I was seriously wounded in the left shoulder. As a result of this wound - a huge lacerated scar, until the end of her life she was never able to wear sleeveless dresses. Having recovered from the wound, she caught up with her division already in Berlin, signed on the Reichstag wall and returned home. It is worth noting Klavdia Ivanovna's kindness and incredible readiness for sacrifice. She exchanged her alcohol and swag, which were given to all fighters, for stew, condensed milk, soap and sent parcels to Tikhoretsk to her younger brother. Then he told her: "You saved my life with your parcels.” For Taman, for Crimea and for many fights Klavdia Antonenko was awarded with the Order of the Red Star; the Order of Glory III degree; medals "For bravery"; "For the defense of the Caucasus", "For combat services". On August 23, 1945, she was awarded the Medal "For the Defense of the Caucasus" by Mikhail Ivanovich Kalinin in the Kremlin.

Zhuldybina Elena Fedorovna was born in 1922 in Kirov region, Uninsky district. She participated in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945, the title - Red Army soldier. She was conscripted to the Red Army from the RVC of Yashkinsky District. A telephonist from the communications platoon of the brigade, she was seriously injured at the crossing of the Neman River. Information about Yelena Zhuldybina was obtained from Uraniy Ivanovich Zenkovich's book "From the Dnieper to the Neman" - "Notes of the Front Operator on the Strategic Offensive Operation “Bagration” to Free Belarus". "I was ordered to keep in constant contact with the crossing, although telephone operators Vasya Sokovets, Misha Timokhin and Sasha Kadeikin had already stretched a telephone cable from the brigade's headquarters and simultaneously connected two devices. One of them had a Siberian woman on duty from the village, Lena Zhuldybina, and the other had a Don Cossack Degtyaryov.... "Building a bridge across the Neman River at Druskenikov's was the number one task for the Brigade that day. The army command was rushing to Pronevich's brigade, and he ordered the brigade's chief of staff, Alexei Tikhomirov, to take charge of the construction. Although a telephone connection was established at the command post of the bridge under construction, and the radio station of Perenkov and Zayakin worked on the bridge itself, Tikhomirov decided to have his own radio station at hand and ordered me to go with him. Five or seven minutes later we left “villis” on the bank of the Neman River. Tikhomirov and his orderly went down to the trench prepared for them, where Lena Zhuldybina was already on duty on her phone. Tikhomirov ordered me to dig a hole near the trench: "It is possible to bomb the trench, but God is careful, Mother Earth has saved many lives. I will negotiate on the phone, and you keep the radio on alert, son. In case of break of Zhuldybina’s communication, you will replace it with radio communication. My RB-M was a duplicate communication..." "Suddenly, a terrible rumble was heard nearby, some weight fell on me, for a while I lost consciousness, and when I woke up, I realized that the blast wave moved the mass of sand, and I was covered with it up to my chest. There was a pine that had been damaged by the blast. I started to turn and move my arms and dug out my stomach, legs and radio. There was a splinter sticking out in the bend of my right hand, I was bleeding. I bandaged my hand with a bandage and started to check the radio station. It worked in the reception mode. I switched it to the transmission and told Vanya Litovchenko about the bombing of the crossing - I did not know more ...". "And the reality turned out to be unpleasant: a stretcher carried unconscious, with the dead and pale face, Colonel Tikhomirov - he was wounded in the stomach. The Siberian telephone operator Lena Zhuldybina was carried on the next stretcher. Her left mammary gland was cut by a shard, and the second shard perforated her buttock. Returning from the hospital, Lena joked: "I will be proud of the wound to the chest all my life, but how to explain the wound to the buttock? Unfortunately, Lena's life was short - she died at the age of 36. The war still caught up with her. Although she left four children in the world..." On the photo: Zhuldybina Elena with her son and brother Pavel - an engineer of Yurginskiy Machine Building Plant.

Title: Red Army man. Troops: Ground Forces, Air Force (except marine aviation), Coast Guard, NKVD, Border Guard. 2 The Ukrainian Front, whose combat path is very interesting. In late 1943, the territory of Soviet Russia was almost liberated from the invaders. That's why many of the troops that took part in the liberation of the Russian regions continued to fight the enemy and moved to the territory of modern Ukraine. That made it advisable to create a new front. The Commander-in-Chief's decree of October 16, 1943, established 2 Ukrainian Front, the combat path of which lasted until 1945. From October 20 of the same year the order came into force. It was not difficult to form an effective combat unit, because the backbone of the group consisted of parts of the former Steppe Front that already had experience of interaction between each other. Immediately after its creation, the front was tasked to liberate the central region of Ukraine as soon as possible. At the end of September, troops on the then Steppe Front forced the Dnieper River near Kremenchug. Despite the fact that the front did not have enough strength to fight seriously, the commander decided to continue the offensive. The main task at that time was to prevent the enemy army from attacking Dnipropetrovsk, so the front's military council decided to advance along the Pyatikhatka-Apostolovo line. This operation would later be called Pyatikhatskaya. The offensive after the concentration of forces began on October 15, 1943 and gradually brought its results. After the battles became long, the command changed its strategy. The offensive on Znamenka and Kirovograd. When the army got stuck in battles in Dnepropetrovsk region, it was necessary to change the direction and emphasis of the fighting. A reconnaissance mission was carried out for that. According to the information available to the army, it became clear that little enemy forces were concentrated in the Znamenka area. To effectively resist the enemy, they would have to move their forces, which would take some time. From the side of Znamenka, our army, namely the 2nd Ukrainian Front, which had a long combat path in Ukraine, dealt the first blow on November 14, 1943. Until November 25, there was no special dynamics in the actions of the troops. But the success in these battles was ensured by the strong 2nd Ukrainian Front! The chronicle of the fighting was as follows: - From December 3 to 5, the battles for the liberation of the city of Alexandria. It was an important point for the Nazis, because even now there are large deposits of brown coal, which was used as fuel. - On December 6, the battles for liberation of a large railway junction - Znamenka city - began. The city was liberated in a few days.

Title: Senior Sergeant Troops: Artillery Division: 365 Rifle Red Banner Division. I, like all citizens of our country, have many relatives who fought. I want to tell a little about my grandfather, whose courage I am amazed with. Ivan Vasilievich Zheltov was called to defend his Homeland in September 1941, when he was 19 years old. He began serving in the rank of junior sergeant, went through the entire war, received the post of commander of the intelligence department of the 38th Guards Cannon Artillery Brigade. On June 22, 1942, near Sevastopol, he received a shrapnel wound to the chest, but stayed in the ranks and for three days continued to destroy the enemy with a cannon and mortar and commanded the gun. From July 3, 1942, he was reported missing, but at that time Ivan Vasilyevich was in hospital with a shrapnel wound. Found him! He is alive! During the war he participated in the Battle of Sevastopol (1942), in the liberation of the Brest Fortress (1944), in the breakthrough of the fortified enemy defense on the bank of the Oder River in the Neu-Hlitzen area (April, 1945, Germany). "'Just before the offensive in Crimea, we were suddenly taken off and thrown to Western Ukraine (Gomel, Kovel) for Kiev. We were transferred from Western Ukraine to Belarus. Before Pinsk, June 18, 1944 68th Guards Cannon Artillery Regiment merged with 67th Guards Cannon Artillery Regiment, and formed a 38th Guards Cannon Artillery Brigade. The brigade participated in the operation to liberate Belarus (Pinsk and Brest) from German invaders. We were sent from Brest by rail to the north. For what purpose? Where to? And only when everyone was given the finkas (a Finnish knife), we realized that we were going to Finland. At the station Bologoye the train was driven to a dead end. Day, second, third. Silence. On the fourth day, the news that Finland had surrendered". After that news, the 38th Guards Cannon Artillery Brigade was transferred to the west, and was involved in the liberation of the Baltic States (Riga, Vilnius). To the west of Vilnius, it was surrounded by the Kurland German group. Its fate was decided. Even before its complete destruction, the 38th Guards Cannon Artillery Brigade was removed and moved to the southwest, to Warsaw. The operation to take Warsaw was planned at the Sandomierz bridgehead (an operational bridgehead for Soviet troops on the left bank of the Vistula River). Warsaw was taken on January 17, 1945. Then, on the way of 38th Guards Kalinkovichi, twice Red Banner Order of Suvorov and Kutuzov II degree cannon artillery brigade were Stuttgart, Stecken. The glorious city of Altengrabs has no less glorious suburb of Rosenkrug, where, apart from TP, Rembat, etc., the honored 38th Guards Cannon Artillery Brigade was stationed, and then it was renamed the 303rd Guards Kalinkovich Double Red Banner, the Order of Suvorov and the 2nd Class Kutuzov Self-Propelled Cannon Artillery Brigade (50432) 34 Artillery Division (Potsdam). The 38th Guards Cannon Artillery Brigade participated in the battles to capture the northern outskirts of Berlin. Victory was welcomed on the east coast of the Elbe near the city of Gleben. The 38th Guards Cannon Artillery Brigade, part of the Soviet occupation forces, remained in Germany.
