Rank: Sergeant. Type of troops: artillery Unit: 112th Cavalry Bashkir Division. The Notepad contains sincere and slightly naive judgments of an ordinary soldier of the Great Patriotic War. “My grandchildren Andrei and Sasha gave me the notebook on Victory Day 1982,” writes Khalidar Muksinovich. - I start it with my military biography, so that my children and grandchildren know who I served, in which units I fought. My "piece of time", where I brought my thoughts during the war years, has already fallen apart, so I have to rewrite them in this diary. " The 112th Bashkir Cavalry Division, where he ended up as a private, began military operations near Voronezh. Then part of them was transferred to Stalingrad. Wounded in November 1942, Khasanov, after being hospitalized in the 224th Infantry Division, continued to fight in the Donbass. After a second wound as a member of the artillery regiment of the 203rd Infantry Division, he reached Czechoslovakia, where he met the end of the Great Patriotic War. In the fall of 1945, he took part in the defeat of Japanese troops in Mongolia and China. He was demobilized with the Order of the Red Star and the Patriotic War and two medals "For Military Merit" on his chest. In Ufa, where he came from the front, he met his betrothed - Markhaba Abdrakhmanovna, who was also a front-line soldier. They got married in 1948 and had ten children. Everyone was raised, taught, raised, made into people. Khalidar Muksinovich died two years ago, leaving to posterity a large number of his invaluable notes. I offer a small piece of text from Khasanov's "piece of time", which describes the last days of the Great Patriotic War. March 24. Received the fourth "toy" (gun).
