Order of the Red Star

Branch of troops: Military Medical Personnel. Subdivision: 8th Guards Rifle Rezhitskaya Order of Lenin Red Banner Order of Suvorov I. V. Panfilov Division. Valentina Ivanovna Panfilova, the eldest daughter of General Ivan Vasilyevich, was a front-line medic._x000D_ “I went to the front with my father,” said Valentina Ivanovna. - He did not resist for long. Mom did not, as well. I was already 18! There was only one agreement to follow: not to show any family connection. I didn’t show. Thanks to this, I learned a lot about my dad from a side._x000D_ I served in the Medical Battalion, and the wounded, without hesitation, discussed their Division Commander, at my presence. He was appreciated and called «Pop”. On November 16, 1941, the Germans launched a second general offensive against Moscow. And on the morning of November 17, medical officers were providing assistance to the wounded soldiers of the mortar troops. The path ran through the Division command post. Taking the opportunity, in a hurry, I went to see my father. _x000D_ Oh, he was so happy to see me! Asking about the letters from home, the general immediately began to praise the soldiers of his Division: “Imagine: fifty steel monsters go to the trenches, and a handful of our brave men enter into single combat with them. And they win! ” There was so much sparkle in my father's eyes. I could hardly assumed that this was our last meeting. By the morning of the next day, the number of wounded increased by the hour. Combat injuries, blood, groans echoed from all sides of the dressing station. I had to work tirelessly. During the next dressing, calming the seriously wounded soldier who was sobbing loudly, I suddenly learned about the death of my father. But the soldier was crying not from battle wounds, but from the fact that Pop was killed! They buried my father in Moscow. I was the only one of our large family at the funeral. _x000D_ After I immediately returned to my unit to fight until Victory. And on December 6, at dawn, a deafening cannonade began. At times, it seemed that the whole earth was turned inside out. We jumped out into the street and the first thing we saw was a large batch of our fierce bombers, accompanied by “hawks,” flying towards the enemy positions. Equipment is pulling up along the roads, troops are marching. Why, this is an offensive! The heart beats with joy. We rip off our hats and throw them up: “Hurray! We are advancing! " _x000D_ On that memorable day, the Kryukovo station passed from hand to hand several times, the enemy fiercely resisted. We have many wounded, but no one wanted to be evacuated. During the bombardment, I was wounded by small fragments in the face and my head. But after putting on a bandage, I continue to work. Finally a breakthrough! And our units rushed forward, liberating the Moscow Region, Tula, Ryazan regions. Disfigured fascist equipment is lying on the side of the road, corpses in mouse-gray greatcoats lie. A column of Nazi prisoners is moving towards us. They whine dejectedly, distorting Russian words: "We are leaving... General Panfilov ... Your Division is wild …". Even after his death, the father was terrible to the Nazis!

Bryansk Region, Karachevsky District, village of Maslovka_x000D_ 15.07.1922 - 23.02.2006_x000D_ Rank: Colonel_x000D_ Branch of Service: Artillery_x000D_ To my dear father, a participant of the Great Patriotic War, as a sign of the deepest respect and memory dedicated to… We owe you a debt is not paid, your feat is immeasurable!_x000D_ My father, Fedor Pervushov, was born in the village of Maslovka, Karachevsky District, Bryansk Region on 15.07.1922. His parents – father Grigory and mother Tatyana worked for the collective farm at various jobs. Fedor was the fifth child in a large peasant family. He always wanted to be a soldier._x000D_ After graduating from Karachevsky School, he voluntarily joined the military service in the Karachevsky District Military Commissariat, Bryansk Region and from 20.03.1940 became a Cadet of the Ordzhonikidzegrad Automobile Motorcycle School in Minusinsk. He completed his training on 07.05.1942. The war was already underway._x000D_ After graduation, he was sent to the front, where he served at first in the 515th Guards Mortar Detachment of the Don Front, then in the 17th Guards Mortar Brigade of the 2nd division of the Don Front as a commander of a platoon of ammunition, and from December 1942 as a platoon commander of the detachment servicing “Katyusha” rocket mortars. In the battles near Stalingrad, where he participated, they smashed the Germans mercilessly with “Katyushas”, not allowing them to break through or retreat anywhere. Fedor was wounded on October 20, 1942, but refused to be evacuated to the hospital. The defenders of Stalingrad were able to hold their city, which was a serious moral and political shock for Nazi Germany. The 17th Guards Mortar Brigade was awarded the Order of the Red Banner on March 15, 1943, for the distinction and heroism shown by the soldiers and commanders in the battle of Stalingrad. In this award there was also a part of the effot of Fedor, and he was also awarded the Medal For the Defense of Stalingrad"_x000D_ Fedor oined the ranks of the Communists in May 1943,. After the defeat of the Germans at Stalingrad, the brigade as part of the 2nd Guards Mortar Division was transferred to the Bryansk Front and became part of the 61st Army of General P. Belov. In the heavy battles in July, during the Oryol-Kursk operation, it took part in the liberation of the city of Bolkhov. There the Germans long and hard, for a year and a half, were building a powerful fortified region, but the 17th Guards Mortar brigade, under the command of the Guards Colonel N. Zhezheruk, with volleys of "Katyushas" broke it very quickly._x000D_ Then again, the offensive and the battle of Prokhorovka on the Kursk bulge, where fierce and bloody battles took place. The battle of the Orel-Kursk bulge ended, the city of Orel was taken, and Soviet troops rushed to Bryansk. Fedor became a participant of the liberation of his native city of Karachev, Bryansk Region. Here is a detailed account of this, from the words and notes of my father. On August 12, 1943, parts of the Bryansk Front, including the guards mortar brigade, in which my father served as a battery commander, began fighting for the capture of the city of Karachev with a blow from the North and South-East. The fascist command attached special importance to the defense of the city. It was an important strategic point in the entire system of German defense on the outskirts of the city of Bryansk. Karachev was an important communications hub. Here cross the roads at Bryansk, Orel, Voronezh, Sevsk. Persistent battles were fought for the height of 246.1 on the Karachev-Orel Highway. This height dominated the entire area within a radius of 10-15 kilometers. The Nazis turned it into a strong point, encircling trenches, wire fences. Tanks and Ferdinand self-propelled guns were buried in the ground, and the approaches to Karachev and nearby settlements - Maslovka, Baranovka, Vishnevka, and Glybochka - were mined. But nothing could resist the onslaught of Soviet soldiers. On August 15, at 4 am, the commander of the Guards brigade, Colonel N. Zhezheruk, ordered the “Katyushas” batteries to fire a salvo at the enemy defenses. After a volley of Guards mortars, the assault began. Soon the German defense was broken and the advanced units broke into the city. Capturing block after block, by 7 am on August 15, Soviet soldiers completely liberated the city of Karachev from the enemy. A red banner flew over the building that now houses the Department store._x000D_ When my father and a group of guards rode into Karachev, they saw a terrible sight: the city was shrouded in clouds of black smoke, flames rose to the sky. Of the 1,859 houses, no more than 50 remained, and those were half destroyed. After a brief meeting with relatives and fellow countrymen, my father, with the rank of Lieutenant, returned to his unit._x000D_ Then there were the battles in Belarus and the liberation in December 1943 as part of the 11th Guards Army of the 1st Baltic Front of the city of Gorodok, Vitebsk Region, for which the division and brigade were awarded the honorary names of Gorodok. In addition, the second Order of the Red Banner shone on the brigade's battle banner._x000D_ One of the episodes of the war was the battles on the outskirts of Konigsberg, in which Fedor participated. The Germans were actively preparing for defense, and three defensive positions were prepared. Konigsberg had entire underground factories, warehouses, and arsenals. But the Soviet troops completely surrounded the city, the 11th Guards Army stopped on the banks of the Frisches Haff Bay, which made it possible to cut off the fortress from the field troops of the German army and block the main supply routes. In April 1945 the 17th Guards Mortar Brigade as part of the 2nd Guards Mortar Division is transferred to the 1st Belorussian Front - to the Kyustrin bridgehead, where, together with other units and formations of the 8th Guards Army, it took an active part in the assault on the Seelow Heights and the offensive on Berlin. When Seelow Heights were taken at night, searchlights of strong power were used, the enemy was stunned, but offered fierce resistance. Depending on the tasks set, volleys were given by the full brigade, and divisions, and individual batteries. It was hard to imagine a force that could resist this offensive. The domination was complete, but the resistance was fierce. The losses were very high. The commander of the glorious 17th Guards Double Red Banner Gorodok-Berlin Mortar Brigade, Colonel N. Zhezheruk, was killed on April 22._x000D_ Then there was the capture of Berlin, the stronghold of Nazi Germany. At the capture of Berlin, as Fedor himself said, the “Katyusha” volleys on the city and on the Reichstag Building played a significant role in the Victory. The 17th Guards Mortar Brigade as the best one was entrusted to fire a salvo at the Reichstag on April 27, 1945. And it did it brilliantly with all 36 guns!_x000D_ But the war for Fedor did not end there. The 17th Guards Mortar Brigade was transferred by rail to the Far East, where it became part of the 1st Far Eastern Front, in the 5th Army. The brigade took part in the defeat of the Kwantung Army of Japan in August 1945 as part of the 1st Far Eastern front under the command of Marshal of the Soviet Union K. Meretskov. They began to smash the Japanese, liberate China and Korea. The 5th Army was to break through the strongest border fortified area located in the mountainous taiga area, and on the eighteenth day of the operation capture the city of Mudanjiang. The offensive began on the morning of August 9, 1945. There were fierce battles. The Japanese defended themselves fiercely, stood to death, and practiced special suicide bombers. The enemy repeatedly launched counterattacks. But the resistance of the Japanese was overcome quickly, despite the fact that the samurai built their defenses and fortified areas for years, burying themselves deep in the ground and concreting everything they could. This defense of theirs was smashed by our troops in a matter of hours. Mudanjiang was taken on the seventh day of the operation, on August 16. Soon, the more than one million-strong Kwantung army surrendered. The war for Fedor ended with the last volley at the city of Mukden. For a long time, the Japanese will remember the fire raids of Guards mortars near Mulino and Mudanjiang._x000D_ The Motherland adequately appreciated the feat of its sons. Fedor Pervushov was awarded the Order of the Patriotic War 2 degree, medals for military distinctions: For Military Merit, For Defense of Stalingrad, For Capture of Berlin, For Capture of Konigsberg, For the Victory over Germany, For the Victory over Japan, For the Liberation of Korea. In subsequent years, for years of service, he was awarded the Order of the Red Star, the Medal for Military Merit, and other commemorative badges and medals._x000D_ After the end of the war, Fedor served for another seven years, until December 1952, first in Korea, and then in China. There, after the war, it was still restless. He got married in November 1946. His chosen one was the girl named Lyubov, who worked in a military unit. They had a son, Alexander, and a daughter, Lyudmila, in China. Fedor was lucky to meet his brother Semyon in February 1952, who served on a ship in Port Arthur._x000D_ Captain Fedor was transferred to the Primorsky Region in the city of Ussuriysk, in the 3rd Guards Mechanized Division of the Primorsky Military District at the end of December 1952, where he served in various positions. Later, he was transferred to the Far Eastern Military District and was appointed a chief of staff of the battalion.

According to the certificate of December 11, 1941, "was on active military service" in the 268th Separate Artillery DEtachment of the fortified region.

I will write that his death is very easy, as it is called "instant", once and for all. He didn't take any pains. He was buried with honor and glory. As it should be. The grave is made as it should be. And recently, about five days ago, I went with my friends to the grave. Corrected, covered with turf, made a wreath as for the best comrade. Olga, here's another part of the order, I can't write anything in this letter, I'll find out, and then I'll let you know."

I inform you that I am currently alive and well, and I wish you all the same: to be alive and well. I also send you my heartfelt greetings and a warm kiss. I also send my daughter Elena and my son Vladimir a low bow, and I kiss them many, many times.

Now He writes that they have received my card (It has not been preserved). Of course, it is not taken well. They were just taking picture during the fight. I was firing and shells were exploding near me. My face was covered in dust and dirt, but still I decided to have it for memory and did it. I know you'd kiss a dirty one now. But the time has not yet come. I know what you're waiting for, Olga. You're waiting for me to text you when I get home. Expect it soon. In the meantime, keep house by yourself. I'll manage it when I get home. I won't pass by the house, but I'll come straight home. And when? Just when I get there. That's it, my dear. And now I'll write down how I live so far.

He, along with everyone else, was going to the front voluntarily, but they did not take him, since he was not 18 years old. Great-grandfather worked for the good of the country, helped in every way, brought victory closer. Mostly he performed manual work: he removed hay, sowed in the collective farm fields. Spring 1942, the second year of the war. And here is the long-awaited summons to the front… My great-grandfather served in a Panzer division and became a General officer. sergeant. On the tank, he passed Ukraine-Belarus-Poland and reached Germany. "Acting as part of the t-34 tank showed courage and bravery. In the area of the village of Wilmersdorf on 25.01.45, the tank crew destroyed a self-propelled gun, a 105 mm anti-aircraft gun and 75 enemy soldiers." In the battles with the Germans, he was seriously wounded in the leg. Four days hiding from the Nazis in the basement of one of the houses, where he was found by Russian partisans. Then he was admitted to a hospital in Lviv, where he stayed until 1947. For the courage and bravery shown in the battle with the German invaders, he was awarded the government award-the medal "for bravery". Great-grandfather returned home, the wounds on his body healed, but the emotional wounds left their mark for life. A lot was experienced on the battlefield-the loss of friends, colleagues, getting injured, participating in the shelling… He didn't say much during the war years, because he remembered it all with tears in his eyes. In 1949, my great-grandfather married my great-grandmother Buzynyuk Tatyana Nikonovna, who worked in the rear during the war. For every Soviet worker, the slogan "Everything for the front, everything for victory" became the law of life. So my great-grandmother worked hard for 10-12 hours a day. Peter and Tatiana gave birth and raised 9 children, they have 23 grandchildren, 39 great-grandchildren and 3 great-great-grandchildren! After going through all the difficulties in their difficult life, they managed to maintain kindness, warmth and love and lived together for 52 years. We the future generation must know and remember our ancestors who gave us life. We owe our lives to our great-grandparents, because it is impossible to forget what was bought at the highest price – the price of our families ' lives.

Full name: Perepadya Lavrenty Borisovich _x000D_ CITY: St. Georgievskaya Stavropol territory _x000D_ DATE of BIRTH: 25.08.1925 _x000D_ DATE of DEATH: 14.09.1944 _x000D_ _x000D_ HISTORY: The story of the uncle on the father's side-perepadya Lavrenty Borisovich is very short, 19 years long. And there is only one award - The order of the Red Star, which was not awarded because he was wounded in the battle of Grodno in September 1944 and went missing. He was born on August 25, 1925 in the village of Georgievskaya, Kuban region, Stavropol territory in the family of a Cossack collective farm accountant perepadya Boris Mareevich. There were three children, and he was the eldest. The family was hardworking, lived in prosperity. This was the reason for the dekulakization and exile of the father in 1937 under article 58 (Ten years without the right of correspondence). The father did not return home, the family was left without a breadwinner. From the age of 12, Lavrusha helped his mother. I finished my seven-year course and dreamed of studying further. But the war made its own adjustments. In may 1943, Lavrenty was less than 18 years old and he, like his other fellow villagers, was sent to study at the Ordzhonikidze military infantry school. Letters from Lavrusha to his native village did not come often. Sometimes they were full of strikeouts from the military censor. It was impossible to write too much. But they had so much respect and respect for my mother, relatives, friends! They have turned yellow for 70 years. At the creases, they are worn out, not all the text can be read. But every time my heart stops when I read these lines: "Today is August 25, a big day. The day of my birth. I only lived for 19 years. Entered the 20th year of his life. Mom, I didn't even notice how 19 years passed. In the twentieth year of my life, I will finish the German-fascist invaders. Mom, I don't know how it is at home, here the day of the 25th was clear, warm, calm… Today I met my friend from the village Makeyev, Fyodor in the city of Rezekne (Smiley face) (Latvia)... "There were no more letters. Then came a notification with the standard wording " Citizen perepadya Anna Prokhorovna that her son perepadya Lavrenty Borisovich, while at the front, was missing." Signature. Print.… And all. No, not all of them! In November 1944, a new notification arrived. It said that "your son second Lieutenant Lawrence B. perepada for exemplary performance of fighting tasks of command at the front struggle with German-fascist invaders and displaying valor and bravery awarded by the government award order "Red Star", which he received in connection with the retirement of his wound in the hospital." That's it now. No appeals to the military enlistment office were successful. It was only in August 1969 that some details became clear. My grandmother Anna Prokhorovna, together with the family of my younger son Nikolay (my father), already lived in Cherkessk. There she was found by her son's fellow soldier Bogatyrev Vasily Davidovich. He said that his commander, Lavrenty Borisovich, was seriously wounded near Grodno, in Belarus. A plywood bus carrying the wounded to the hospital came under fire. Nothing else is known. And the award was never given to anyone. Granny and I thought about this injustice for a long time. Time, of course, is lost. And there is no point in looking for the culprits. The time after the war was like this. Many archives were classified. But there is still hope to return my great-grandfather's well-deserved award to our family. And we will try to do it.

Full name: Popov Sergey Andreevich last NAME: Popov FIRST name: Sergey PATRONYMIC: Andreevich CITY: Lipetsk region, Stanovlyansky district, village of Trostnoye date of BIRTH: 14.11.1913 DATE of DEATH: 19.12.2008 _x000D_ _x000D_ HISTORY: Sergey Popov carefully keeps photos of the war years, recorded his memories of the hard times. Here are some of them. "In September of the 35th, the Bauman district military Commissariat called me to serve in the black sea fleet. As part of the border detachment of the NKVD (in Sevastopol), he kept watch on a boat, was a radio operator. At the end of my term of service, I was offered to stay for an extended period of time. I agreed. I went home on a three-week vacation, got married, and took my wife to Sevastopol. In July 1940, he was sent to study at the Leningrad naval frontier school. That's where the war caught me. For the first few days, we cadets hoped that the enemy would be stopped and defeated, as defense Minister Voroshilov stated in his speech. The enemy was defeated! But at what cost!.. School stopped. A landing party was created from the sailors of submarines and us, cadets. I was appointed commander of the boat. The fascists, seizing the coast of the Gulf of Finland, approached Leningrad. In the shortest possible time, the military, including the wounded, had to leave the city by ship. My boat, as a convoy, was the last to leave the Harbor under heavy enemy fire. How many people died in those days? Only the sea knows… In December of the 41st, he was wounded and was taken to the Leningrad hospital. There was a famine in the city, and on December 23, we, who were not cured, left Leningrad on foot along the frozen Ladoga river, which was later called the "Road of life". Sergey Andreevich was lucky. He moved to Ladoga and was sent to Sunny Baku for further treatment. And then study again. After graduating from the higher naval school, Lieutenant Popov was placed at the disposal of the Volga military flotilla. ... Taking the boat, participated in the battles of Stalingrad. And again the wound. And again the front. He is the commander of a mine boat with a Katyusha rocket launcher. Participated in the liberation of Tallinn, Leningrad, Riga, Klaipeda, Narva, and the Estonian Islands. "The capture of the capital of Karelia left a deep mark on my memory. In early may, the 44th ships and boats of the Onega flotilla took up positions near the Vytegra base. In terrible battles with heavy losses destroyed the enemy's fortifications. The Karelian front advanced to Petrozavodsk… We landed under heavy crossfire. The success was enormous. The enemy did not have time to open fire and was crushed. The Nazis, hastily leaving the city, destroyed it almost to the ground, sank their ships. What started on the pier when we docked, it is impossible to describe! We fell into the arms of the Soviet people who were yearning in captivity. We were kissed and hugged. The boats were covered with flowers that had come from nowhere. Every resident wanted to touch us to make sure it wasn't a dream. The next day there was a rally in the city, where a member of the Central Committee of the Communist party of the Republic Yu. Andropov and other party leaders… Not to forget the archipelago Moonsund. Here, after the liberation of the city, Kuressaar ended up in a death camp. We, the sailors who have seen death more than once, have passed the war, have not seen such a terrifying picture. The atrocities of the fascists cannot be described" a Group of boats, one of which was commanded by Popov, met in Germany on may 9, 1945. Everyone cheered. This terrible, long war has come to an end!.. Popov probably would have served in the Navy until retirement. But the hardships of the war, the injuries made themselves felt. For health reasons, the sea had to be left. He moved with his family to the village of Gazoprovod, worked for 28 years in the Yeletsky UMG. He retired when he was 76. Sergey Andreevich raised three children. And though fate had saved him from death, it had not been easy, then or now. In 2001, his son died and he left four children. In General, Popov has six grandchildren, four great-grandchildren. Two grandchildren, like my grandfather, served in the Navy. There are pages about the order-bearer Popov in the book "Onego Battle pennants". Sergey Andreevich wrote a book about the battle path himself. He hopes that it will be published so that his grandchildren and great-grandchildren know that the veteran Popov did not live his life in vain… Prepared By A. Mitusova

Full name: Polosenko Pyotr Vladimirovich last NAME: Polosenko FIRST name: Pyotr PATRONYMIC: Vladimirovich CITY: Ukraine DATE of BIRTH: 14.02.1922 DATE of DEATH: 04.08.1992 HISTORY: Peter V. Polosenko was born on February 14, 1922. On may 17, 1942, after graduating from the Novosibirsk military school, Pyotr Vladimirovich was awarded the rank of Lieutenant. As the commander of a platoon of machine guns, he was sent to the military Council of the Kalinin front, where he was appointed Deputy commander of a machine gun company. From 20 to 29 July 1942, the division made a March on the cities of Staritsa and Rzhev. The March was made under cover of darkness, in difficult conditions. On the night of July 28-29, 1942, our troops occupied the initial position for the offensive 30 km from the city of Rzhev. On July 29, after a powerful two-hour artillery preparation and intensive bombardment of the enemy's front line, our troops launched a decisive offensive. Despite fierce resistance, the enemy's defenses were breached and the battle began in the depth of this defense. On July 30, Pyotr Vladimirovich took command of the company, as the company commander was out of action. The company, in cooperation with other units, successfully completed the firing task, destroying the enemy's manpower and firing points. Near the village of Belkovo, Rzhevsky district, Kalinin region, on August 3, 1942, Pyotr Vladimirovich was lightly wounded in the left arm. Despite being wounded, he commanded the company for several hours and, on the orders of the battalion commander, evacuated from the battlefield. After recovery, he was sent to the headquarters of the Kalinin front in the 334th rifle division of the 4th shock army. The division was tasked with changing the formation that was defending the city of Velizh. On September 28, 1942, when the division had just taken its initial position, German units launched an offensive to capture the Velizh-Usvyaty highway. Our 334th rifle division received a new task: immediately engage the enemy. The German units were driven back to their former positions with heavy losses. After completing the last task, the division took up defense near the city of Velizh. On January 17, 1943, at 11:00, the assault on the city of Velizh by specially designated units of the 4th shock army, which included our rifle battalion, began. From January 17 to January 25, 1943, the Germans continuously counterattacked day and night, raining down tons of metal from artillery of all types and calibers. The battalion suffered significant losses, but did not retreat a step. By the evening of January 25, 1943, the Germans, having pulled up reserves, after an artillery RAID, launched the last most furious counterattack on the front line. The battalion commander was killed, and many of the battalion's commanding officers were put out of action. Pyotr Vladimirovich was shell-shocked, but did not leave the battalion headquarters until the attack was completely repelled. In the battles of January 17-25, 1943, while serving as chief of staff of the battalion, Pyotr Vladimirovich Polosenko gained experience in organizing combat as part of assault groups, as well as storming well-fortified defensive structures as Pillboxes and Bunkers. He was recovering from a concussion from January 25 to February 15, 1943. After recovery, he was sent to the 1115th rifle regiment of the same division as a Deputy commander of a company of submachine gunners. The regiment was on the defensive in the area of Velizh. After the abolition of the positions of Deputy company commanders in June 1943, he was appointed commander of a machine-gun company in the same regiment. On September 16, 1943, the battalion was assigned the task of conducting a combat reconnaissance, and then on the night of September 16-17, 1943, the battalion took up its initial position for the offensive. At 6: 00, the battalion attacked the enemy's front line near the village of Saxony in the Velizh district of the Smolensk region. The German defense was broken, and the enemy retreated, suffering heavy losses. At the time of the attack, Pyotr Vladimirovich received a bullet wound to the foot. On September 18, 1943, the offensive began along the entire Kalinin front. After being wounded on September 17, 1943, he was treated at hospital No. 5870 in Kazan. Upon recovery, on November 14, 1943, he was sent to the personnel Department of the Moscow military district, from where he was assigned to the reserve regiment of officers of the 4th Ukrainian front in the city of Melitopol, where he remained until April 16, 1944 as a listener to a group of machine-gun company commanders. On April 16, 1944, he was assigned to the 28th army. From the army headquarters, he was sent to the 3rd guards rifle corps, and from the corps to the 54th guards rifle division as a commander of a machine-gun company. As part of the 54th guards rifle division of the Belorussian front, he went from the beginning of the liquidation of the Bobruisk group of German troops in the area of Bobruisk to the city of Warsaw. In August 1944, the 28th army was withdrawn to the area of the Zhabinka station in the Brest region, where, after a short rest and replenishment, the army arrived at the disposal of the 3rd Belorussian front, where it participated in offensive battles to the city of Eidtkunen in East Prussia. In October 1944, by the personnel Department of the 28th army, Pyotr Vladimirovich was appointed company commander of a separate army working battalion, which organized and performed loading and unloading operations for incoming ammunition and food for the army. Under the command of the company, he passed the battle route from the city of Eidtkunen to the city of Konigsberg. After the disbanding of a separate army working battalion, on April 23, 1945, he was sent to the rear headquarters of the 3rd Belorussian front, where he was appointed head of the control room No. 11. In this position, I met the Victory Day of the Soviet Army. He was awarded the order of the red Star (order no. 2789601), the order of the Patriotic War I degree (order no.1848439), the medals "for military merit" and "for the capture of Konigsberg".

Full name: Pavlov Boris Alexandrovich last NAME: Pavlov first NAME: Boris PATRONYMIC: Alexandrovich CITY: Gavrilov-Yam DATE of BIRTH: 19.07.1924 DATE of DEATH: 18.06.1997 HISTORY: Boris Alexandrovich was born in Gavrilov-Yam, Yaroslavl region. At the end of the 9th grade, he volunteered for the 243rd Communist division, which was being formed in Yaroslavl. On July 16, 1941, the division was sent to the front. Arriving in the city of Selizharovo, the division made a difficult March from there through Andreapol, Toropets, Staraya Toropa and reached the Sevastyanov area on the Zap river by July 27. Dvina. Despite the lack of combat experience, the division successfully conducted defensive battles with two regiments. Yaroslavl crossed the Western Dvina river and shot down the enemy from their position. At the same time, on another sector of the front, one regiment of this division fought bloody battles with large enemy units, preventing them from crossing and ensuring the regrouping of troops. Here, apparently, our grandfather, then a very young fighter, and made his first feat (helped to establish an interrupted connection), for which he was presented to the award. Soon he was sent to the school of artillery ensigns. There is already in the rank of second Lieutenant, he returned to the front. He fought on the Ukrainian front. As the commander of a fire platoon of the 109th guards army cannon artillery Dneprodzerzhinsk regiment, he was presented to the order of the red star. We know almost nothing about his military life: my grandfather never spoke about the horrors of war, or it did not remain in our childhood memory. After the death of my grandfather, we found some award documents and learned about his exploits: "during the operation to capture the city of Krivoy Rog, acting skillfully and courageously, the fire of his guns knocked out one self-propelled gun of the enemy. 10.02.1944 G. In the Emme area, he successfully repelled a counterattack by enemy infantry and tanks. 19.02.1944 G. Destroyed 3 machine-gun points and suppressed the fire of one 105 mm battery. 20.02.1944 suppressed a 105 mm battery near the Chervonnaya station and ensured the successful advance of our infantry.Pavlov in any conditions of battle is not lost and acts decisively." On the front-line photos of that time, Boris Alexandrovich really looks like a hero: cheerful, with a Kuban cap twisted over one ear, with a curly forelock, surrounded by comrades. Handsome! And after all, he was lucky: during the entire war, he was not injured, only a shrapnel damaged his finger on his hand, and he did not fully unbend. True, he was shell-shocked, but that's nothing. He returned to his hometown unharmed, unlike his older brother, who was missing on the fronts of that terrible war. He returned late at night, and the mother, who accompanied the schoolboy to the front, did not recognize the male voice of her son, was afraid and did not open the door for a long time. My grandfather remembered this incident with a smile: "If it wasn't for my sister, I would have to spend the night on the street." Boris Pavlov was awarded the medals "for the defense of Stalingrad"," for the capture of Budapest"," for military merit", two orders of the" Patriotic war", the order of the"red Star". After the war, he entered the Ivanovo technical school of physical culture, received a teacher's diploma and ... went to the army. Again, he changed the type of troops: he served in the Baltic fleet. Since then, a beautiful officer's jacket, a white cap, a glittering gold Dirk. In the photos of those years, a handsome man stands next to an elegant little woman and holds a beautiful daughter in his arms. My grandfather met my wife in Gavrilov-Yam, they lived in the neighboring streets. Maria Semyonovna Maranova worked in peat processing during the war, then graduated from the courses of history teachers, and was awarded the medal for valiant labor during the war. After getting married, she traveled with her husband to the garrisons for several years. Boris Alexandrovich left the reserve with the rank of captain, returned to his hometown and became a teacher at secondary school No. 1, from which he left for the front in 1941. For many years, he conducted physical education classes and basic military training. The school's website says about it: "Its time is the time of the games "Zarnitsa" and "Orlyonok", the time of military sports holidays and marches. The latter are revived in the school. The February holiday "Sons of the Fatherland" in secondary school No. 1 in Gavrilov-Yam is named the evening of memory of Boris Pavlov." I found my grandfather working at the school and saw that he was respected and loved. It could interest both boys and girls. The school's teams under his leadership often won competitions and games. Our family archive contains many photos of my grandfather surrounded by students during such events. He prepared high school students to carry a guard of honor at the monument to teachers and students of the first school on the eve of may 9, he was invited to hold a solemn parade on Sovetskaya square and other sports events in the city. My grandfather was also invited to class hours dedicated to the great Patriotic war. In a formal tunic, chest in orders, Boris Alexandrovich looked like a real hero, but instead of telling stories about his exploits, he always joked, recalled jokes, called dry numbers. Many boys, on his advice, entered military universities after school... And he taught us, his three granddaughters, to sport and discipline. I've read a lot all my life, and we have a whole library at home from him. We were proud of our grandfather, the hero, when he was in the full uniform of a naval officer, flashing orders in the spring sun, minted a step in the ranks of veterans at the Victory parade, or gave commands to students who were on guard at the monument to teachers and students who died during the war. We love it and are proud of it now. Every year we participate in the campaign "Immortal regiment", we remember Boris Alexandrovich, we cherish his awards (2 velvet scarlet pads with orders and medals), his Dirk, his cap and shoulder straps… We miss you, grandpa. Too bad your great-grandson didn't catch you. It has a lot of your energy and love for sports. You would have found a common language. For us, the may 9 holiday is a memory of a close and dear person and the pain of loss
