Danielyan Smbat (Symban) Melikovich_x000D_ _x000D_ Rank: Colonel. Danielyan Smbat (Symban) Melikovich. In the magazine of the Central Committee of the Communist party of Lithuania "Events and time" No. 14, July 1982 (index 76787), an article was published by retired Lieutenant Colonel Dmitry Ryabov "Feat of the Neman" about three military generations of the Danielyan family: grandfather-Colonel, Danielyan Smbat Melikovich, father-Lieutenant Colonel, Danielyan Norayr Sumbatovich, brother-major, Danielyan Sumbat Norayrovich. Here is an excerpt from this article concerning my grandfather.... "I often visit the most beautiful corner-close and dear to the heart of every Alytus. An obelisk with an enlarged order of the Patriotic war is attached to it. On the sides of the obelisk are massive bronze plates with words in Lithuanian and Russian that are etched into the memory: "Glory to the immortal deeds, glory to the fallen heroes! Around eleven blue fir trees symbolizing the feat of soldiers of the 11th guards army who liberated the city. And the original decorative fence. All this is a crown of heroism, a tribute to love and respect for the soldiers of the war. Right next to the obelisk, the graves of the dead. I read their names: "Guards Lieutenant V. Kalinin, private A. Tikhonenko, Colonel S. Danielyan" and dozens of other names. I was particularly interested in Colonel S. Danielyan. I wanted to find out where the front roads brought him to our region, what feat he performed in the name of people's lives on the banks of the Nemunas? The search lasted about three years and was crowned with success: documents were obtained from the archives, meetings were held, exciting conversations with the son and grandson of the Colonel… Soviet power in Baku was proclaimed on the sixth day of the revolutionary coup in Petrograd. On December 16, under the chairmanship of V. I. Lenin, the Council of people's Commissars discussed the situation in Transcaucasia. It was decided to appoint a member of the Central Committee of the RSDLP(b), Chairman of the Baku Council Stepan Georgievich Shaumyan as temporary Extraordinary Commissioner for the Caucasus, until the formation of Soviet power in the region. From Petrograd to Tiflis, where the Caucasian regional Committee of the RSDLP(b) was located, S. A. Ter-Petrosyan (Kamo) delivered a mandate signed by V. I. Lenin to Shaumyan. Going from Baku to Tiflis alone for Shaumyan is a risky business. Comrades called the names of fellow travelers. Someone said: - Sumbat Danielyan is the most suitable candidate. - This, you know, somehow does not fit together: an officer of the tsarist army accompanies the Extraordinary Commissar. He can also escort you to security. The audience laughed, and S. Shaumyan became interested: And who is this fine? - Recently returned from the Turkish front. Originally from the Armenian village of Chardakhly. He is twenty-two years old. He is an energetic and fearless person. One of the first in the army to go over to the side of the revolution. We decided to take a roundabout trip through the high mountains and deep gorges of the lesser Caucasus range. On January 17, 1918, the travelers reached Chardakhly safely. - You are now on Betaking? Twenty versts along mountain paths and gorges. And there are bandits all over the road. "But there is no other route," Shaumyan said. They came up with an idea: they staged a wedding trip. Sumbat Danielyan, a slim, fit and young officer, really looked like a groom. The" planted father "Stepan Shaumyan rode in the midst of the "wedding" motorcade. In those years, the young country of the Soviets from all the suburbs, like cockroaches from the cracks, climbed enemies. In the spring of 1918, the Turks attacked. And a horseman with a sword on a dashing horse flashed by on the banks of Sevan. Sumbat led his cavalry into battle. In one of the fights, he was seriously wounded. Having linked his fate with the red Army, Sumbat Melikovich goes through a glorious path from squadron commander to battalion, and in the pre-war years teaches at military schools in Transcaucasia, in Alma-ATA and Dnepropetrovsk. great Patriotic war. Communist Danielyan goes to the front. He is appointed commander of the 38th separate rifle brigade. This happened near Moscow, during the most difficult days for the capital. The brigade commander has his place in battle. But sometimes the situation develops so that the senior chief, along with the soldiers, goes into the heat of battle. So it was on the near approaches to the capital. Units of the neighboring unit retreated. Kombat Danielyan received an order: to hold the Germans in this area, and then knock them out of defense and wedge into the enemy's battle lines. The first offensive of the brigade's soldiers was unsuccessful. That's when the battalion commander gave the order to take out the Banner. With a group of submachine gunners and Riflemen, he rushed forward. The commander of the Kalinin front, Colonel-General I. S. Konev, presented Danielyan for the award, wrote: "In the battles, the brigade commander personally led the attack of the fighters, showing bravery, perseverance and decisive actions. As a result of this attack, the battle order was executed: the enemy was stopped, knocked out of defense and put to flight. Eight localities were liberated and many trophies were taken. For exemplary performance of a combat mission, for bravery and courage, I present to the award-the order of the red banner." Sumbat Danielyan was awarded the order in which he commanded, and was awarded the honorary title of the guards. War is war. Recently, the brigade commander and his soldiers were honored with a victory near Moscow, and the Sovinformburo reports already reported: "in the area of Mozdok, the soldiers of S. Danielyan's unit repulsed several enemy attacks during the day, destroying seven tanks to two hundred Hitlerites." Some time later, he distinguished himself in the defense of the city of Ordzhonikidze. The soldiers of Danielyan's unit overturned the Nazis with a strong counterattack. In this battle, the commander was twice wounded. He would have left the battlefield after the first wound, but he continued to lead his subordinates, inspiring them to the feat, and remained at his post until he fell from the second wound. He didn't like to spend too much time in hospitals. And soon, his name and deeds were heard in the cities and villages of Belarus and Lithuania. Confidently, he led the guards in the offensive to the West. After the war, the former commander of the 11th guards army, General of the army Hero of the Soviet Union Kuzma Nikitovich Galiysky will write the following lines about the brave commander: "...After conducting reconnaissance, the advanced battalions began to force. But it was still slow, as the enemy from the West Bank met the crossing units with heavy fire. Then Colonel S. M. Danielyan with the division's artillery commander and a group of staff officers went to the river. All the guns and mortars were moved here. Powerful volleys they suppressed a significant part of the enemy points. Under cover of artillery fire, the crossing resumed." The second order of the red banner was added to the military awards of Sumbat Melikovich. On July 19, 1944 in the life of the commander of the division was a joyful, exciting event: the commander of the third Belorussian front hero of the Soviet Union army General Ivan Danilovich Chernyakhovsky on behalf of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR awarded the order of the red banner, the Colonel Danielyan - the Patriotic war, first degree. Hundreds of soldiers and commanders were awarded high government awards. Sumbat Melikovich wrote to his wife: "Dear Araxia, We continue to fight with the Left. He's already a senior Lieutenant. Together with all we are driving the enemy to the West. We will soon win and return home, never to part with you again. What have you heard about Norika? What front is he fighting on? Take care of yourself and wait for us... " And a week and a half later, a letter from military friends and comrades-in-arms was sent to Baku from Simias: "Dear Araksia Martirosova! We, comrades of the guards of Colonel Danielyan Sumbat Melikovich, Express our deep condolences on the untimely death of your husband. Together with You, we mourn and bow our heads over the ashes of our beloved commander, under whose leadership we passed a difficult but glorious military path..."it Happened on July 30 at 14: 30. Early in the morning, he went to the observation post, where he watched the battle. NP was located in a small house of a peasant of the Aleksandras of Rutkauskas, who lived near the village Melaleuca. The circumstances forced us to resort to this option: there was a bare field all around - no hillock, no tree, no shrub. At 13 o'clock, the Germans, quite unexpectedly, began to shell the house. Maybe it was generosity, kindheartedness, or maybe a burst of courage that called him closer to the battlefield. Only he did not want the war to leave the peasant homeless. And the Colonel decided to move to the division's command post. After thanking Lutkauskas, he went to the checkpoint in a car with his son Levon and staff officers. Two kilometers East of Simnas, they were attacked by six enemy Focke-Wulf-190 dive bombers. A bomb exploded near the car, was killed Sumbat the M. and Lavon is seriously injured. (He died of his wounds shortly after the victory). The comrades-in-arms finished their letter with these words: "The sad news of the commander's death quickly spread through the battle lines of the units. Guards with a cry of: "Avenge the enemy for the death of the commander" rose in a rapid attack. By the morning of the next day, we had driven the Germans 25 kilometers West of Simnas. Araksia Martirosova! We, the companions and followers of the military cause of Sumbat Melikovich, promise You to beat the hated enemy with even greater force and avenge him irrepressibly and mercilessly." The guards kept their word: they fought hundreds of kilometers to Konigsberg. They stormed the fortress and hoisted the battle guards banner over the capital of East Prussia. It should be noted here that Levon Smbatovich Danielyan, the son of Colonel Smbat Danielyan's guards, also participated in the initial period of the battle for the Caucasus. Commander of the air defense platoon of the 68th marine rifle brigade of the 18th army, chief petty officer Danielyan L. S. in the battles from July 26 to October 4, 1942 in the area of the village of Kuleshovka, Peshkovo and Kura-Tsipe, not only shot down 2 enemy aircraft " Messerschmitt -110 "and one" Junkers-87", but with his DShK machine gun repelled a seeping group of enemy submachine gunners in the area of the brigade's command post.

Raiskiy Konstantin Mikhailovich_x000D_ _x000D_ Raiskiy Konstantin Mikhailovich was born on December 5, 1915 in Tambov in the family of a railway worker. Since 1932, he worked as a teacher of physics and mathematics in a junior secondary school in the Sampurskiy district of the Tambov region. In June 1940, he was drafted into the Red Army and served until the end of August 1946. The Great Patriotic War found him on the western border, near the town of Lomzha, North-West of Bialystok. There, as head of the automobile electric station (NPP-3) of the 203rd separate sapper battalion of the 55th rifle division, he participated in the construction of reinforced concrete firing points. Under the powerful attack of the German-fascist troops, our troops had to retreat with heavy fighting. The division in which he served retreated with heavy fighting in the direction of the city of Baranovichi (Western front). The defense here did not have time to prepare in time, and therefore the Nazis could not be kept on this line. The remnants of the 203rd separate sapper battalion were ordered to withdraw along with equipment in the direction of Bobruisk-Mogilev-Orsha. In Orsha, the battalion was replenished with personnel, and began mining roads and possible routes of the German offensive on Vitebsk. Soon the sapper battalion was subordinated to the engineering Department of the Western front, which held the defense near the city of Dorogobuzh for almost a month and a half. On September 28, the Germans again went on the offensive, breaking through our defenses. Our units were forced to withdraw to Vyazma. On October 3-4, 1941, German aircraft launched massive bombing attacks on the headquarters of the Western front. The battalion suffered serious losses. I received an order to destroy the remaining material part. There were still cars, but there was no fuel, so they left only the most necessary things. I had to make my way through the forest roads, up to the village of Klimentevo, which is about 20 km from Mozhaisk. The exit turned out to be extremely difficult, we moved only at night. For 2 weeks, the soldiers ate almost nothing, froze – autumn came early. On October 20, vehicles were sent for the remaining personnel. On the basis of the sapper battalion, the 64th separate pontoon-bridge battalion was formed, where K. M. Rayskiy served as the head of the technical unit. He was then transferred to the newly formed 88th separate pontoon bridge battalion. In the future, the battalion provided a crossing on the Ugra river near the city of Przemysl.

On June 15, he was assigned to the 3-d guards Stalingrad mechanized corps as a rifle company commander. On June 23, as chief of staff of the 3-d rifle battalion of the 9th guards mechanized brigade, he took part in the offensive near the Rudnya station. As a result of successful actions, the Soviet troops liberated the cities of Borisov, Minsk, Molodechnoe, Vilnius, and Shaulay… The Supreme commander-in-Chief K. M. Raiskiy was thanked. From September 1944 until the end of the war with Germany, he participated in the battles to hold the Kurland group of German troops in the Baltic States. This largely prevented the German command from using additional reserves in the battles for Konigsberg and Berlin. The war with Nazi Germany ended victoriously. For fighting in the Western, 3rd Belorussian, 1st Baltic and Leningrad fronts, K. M. Raiskiy was awarded the Order of the Patriotic War, 2nd class, order of the Red Banner, Medals "For Bravery" and others. After a three-month rest and re-formation, he was transferred to the Trans-Baikal Front to participate in the war with militaristic Japan. On September 3, 1945, the Kwantung Army surrendered. After the end of the war with Japan, he served in the 54th heavy tank-self-propelled regiment as chief of staff of the submachine gun battalion. He was discharged from the army on August 29, 1946. From September 11, 1946 until July 1977, he worked as a mathematics teacher at the 129th school of working youth in the Taganskiy district of Moscow." He died on 28.06.2010._x000D_ .
