The combat path of my grandfather, senior sergeant Buyantuev Tsyren-Dondok Doksonovich (Republic of Buryatia, Selenginsky district, village Noekhon). 236 soldiers left Noekhon for the war, 127 of them did not return from the front: some died, some went missing. The names of 127 dead soldiers are included in the "Book of Memory". In the village there is a monument to the soldiers-fellow villagers. It contains a list of all those who did not return from the front. The war did not bypass our family - the Buyantuyev family. According to the stories of my dad and close relatives, I know that my grandfather, Buyantuev Tsyren-Dondok Doksonovich, fought at the front. I know my grandfather only from memories, since he died long before my birth. My grandfather was born in the village of Noekhon in the Selenginsky region in 1913 into a family of peasants. My grandfather did not like to remember the war, but thanks to my dad, Bimba Tsyrendondopovich Buyantuev, I learned the battle path that he went through. Grandfather fought to Berlin. He fought in the ranks of the famous 62nd Guards Cavalry Regiment of the 18th Guards Division of the 7th Cavalry Corps of General Konstantinov. Already in the first battles, he showed himself to be a brave, resourceful soldier, for this he was appointed commander of the crew of a heavy machine gun. Senior Sergeant Tsyren-Dondok Doksonovich received his first award - the Medal for Military Merit in the summer of 1942 in the battles for the town of Sukhinichi. From the memoirs of my grandfather, which are kept in the museum of the Noekhon secondary school: “Having successfully overcome the Desna, the regiment began to deploy on the right bank of the river. The Germans tried several times to knock us out of this bridgehead. A platoon under my command repulsed several Nazi attacks during the afternoon, but did not surrender the height. " For the courage shown in this battle, the Order of the Red Star shone on my grandfather's chest. The fearless platoon commander took part in many battles and more than once showed valor and courage. In the battles for the Dnieper he was wounded. Having recovered after being wounded, he liberated the cities of Chernigov and Mozyr in Belarus as part of his 18th Guards Division. In the fall of 1943, the troops of the Central Front (renamed into Belorussian in October 1943) approached the Dnieper. On November 26, after continuous fighting, our troops liberated Gomel. The time for the release of Mozyr was approaching. An operation was developed that went down in the history of the Great Patriotic War as the Kalinkovichi-Mozyr operation. Five days were given to prepare the operation. In the conditions of wooded and swampy terrain and off-road , communications acquired particular importance. The Hitlerite command took all measures to strengthen its group. It attached exceptional importance to the Kalinkovichi railway and highway junctions, the regional center of Mozyr. The defense was held by 9 infantry and 2 tank divisions, 3 divisions of assault guns, a cavalry regiment and other units. Long-term defensive structures, pillboxes, trench lines were built, the area was heavily mined. The battle for Mozyr reached the highest tension on January 13th. The enemy continued to counterattack. Mozyr was completely released by 6 a.m. In the battles for Mozyr, significant losses were inflicted mainly on the enemy's 86 infantry divisions, 1,500 soldiers and officers were killed. 710 sq. kilometers, more than 80 settlements are occupied. In the battles for the liberation of Mozyr, the troops suffered heavy losses. Also, my grandfather, together with his division, liberated the city of Chernigov. For 40 days of the offensive, Soviet troops completely expelled the fascist invaders from Poland and launched hostilities on the territory of Nazi Germany. The 7th Cavalry Corps of General Konstantinov, in which my brave grandfather fought, also participated in the Berlin offensive. The glorious military path of our fellow countryman ends in Berlin. For the courage and heroism shown during the Great Patriotic War, my grandfather is awarded two military medals "For the capture of Berlin", "For the liberation of Warsaw", the Order of the Patriotic War, II degree. Having returned home with victory, he gives all his strength and knowledge to his native collective farm. He works in various areas of collective farm production - construction, as a shepherd on a brood flock, as a foreman of a tractor brigade, as a deputy chairman of a collective farm. Together with my grandmother Tsyrema Dondopovna, they raised six wonderful children. For his great organizational skills, the people elected him in 1968 as the chairman of the Noekhon Somon Council. He worked in this position without fail until retirement. For long-term, fruitful work in collective farm construction, he is awarded a state award - the Order of the Badge of Honor. He has not been among us for a long time, but the memory of him as a fearless warrior, a person infinitely loving his land, a wonderful leader always lives in the hearts of relatives and fellow countrymen. In the history of mankind, there are events over which time has no power. The Great Patriotic War should never be erased from the memory of our people, no matter how much time has passed after its end. It is everyone's duty to cherish the memory of those who did not return from the war, to pay tribute and gratitude to those who are with us.During the war he took part in many military operations: • liberated the cities: Sukhinichi, Chernigov, Mozyr in Belarus; • participated in the battles for Desna, Dnieper; • participated in the Kalinkovichi-Mozyr operation; • He ended the war when he reached Berlin.

He was also awarded the Order of the Badge of Honor and has anniversary medals. I imagine him young, handsome and cheerful, although I know that the soldiers were exhausted, tortured by the war. But they instilled confidence in everyone: the mother was consoled, the wife was encouraged with an affectionate word, the children were instructed to learn and help their relatives. Gradually, the image of my grandfather Buyantuev Tsyren-Dondok Doksonovich, a loving son, brother, father, courageous defender of the Fatherland, liberator of Europe from the German invaders, appears. Let the memory of those who selflessly loved their Motherland, who bequeathed to us faith in Russia, will remain with us. I am proud of my grandfather. I think that today he would be proud and happy, and happily celebrated the 75th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War.

Thanks were announced from I. V. Stalin and G. K. Zhukov. When he was asked to tell about the war, he talked reluctantly and quietly, with pain in his eyes, sparing the psyche of his children, omitting terrible moments - then he could not sleep for a long time, walked around the house, shrapnel wounds ached, did not let him forget about those terrible days. It was evident how hard memories were given to him, and those close to him tried not to remind him of the war once again. He always said that he was ready to eat one bread and water, if only this hell would not be repeated on earth. When asked what helped to survive in the war, he replied: - "Dream! In between battles, lying in a trench, dreamed of a big friendly family, a big house, dreamed of meeting with relatives: mother, sister and three brothers. For the sake of them i had to live . I am the eldest and have to raise a family, since my father died at the front. " His dream came true: he returned from the war wounded, but alive, built a big house, got married, but the most important thing in his dream is the children - together with their wife, they gave birth and raised eight children. Life is measured not by the years lived, but by what a person has done good for people and relatives, which mark he left on the earth. Vladimir Makarovich has always been an honest, decent and hardworking person, never left anyone in trouble, always helped everything he could, always was an example for the family and other people: he defended and took care of his homeland like the apple of his eye, and in peacetime he worked tirelessly - he worked as a foreman at a state farm and always took his team to the first place, people loved and respected him, listened to his advice and requests. For valiant work, ideological commitment and dedication, he was awarded the following signs: "Winner of the Socialist Competition of 1977", "Drummer of the Ninth Five-Year Plan", the "Veteran of Labor" medal, and the Order of the Red Banner of Labor. The fact that the road was paved in the village and tap water was installed is his merit. Unfortunately, now there are very few such ideologically strong-minded people who would care about the people around them and the environment, who cares about what will happen next with their relatives, and the fate of strangers would not be indifferent to them, who are used to giving away, and not consume those who are used to being responsible, for whom honor and courage would not be empty words, but those concepts for which you can give your life. Vladimir Makarovich was just such a person, and his family and friends are proud of him and always remember him with trepidation, love and aching sadness in their hearts.

Alexey Antonovich Tretyakov was born on May 16, 1924 in Ukraine, in the village of Alexandrovka, Chernigov region, in the family of Anton Artemovich and Maria Ivanovna Tretyakov. Then the family moved to the Amur Region for resettlement and settled in the town of Kivnet, Bureya District (a railway station, now part of the village of Bureya). Anton Artemovich and Maria Ivanovna had nine children. Alexey was the eldest of the children, so the war fell to his lot. At the beginning of 1943, at the age of 18, he was drafted into the Red Army. First - to Khabarovsk, to the school of junior commanders, and six months later he was sent to the Western Front. There he ended up in a reconnaissance company. According to his stories, they often went behind the front line for "tongues" - and not without success. In one of these sorties, his commander was seriously wounded - and he was dragging him out by crawling, in a box from under shells across the front line. They crawled more than three kilometers. The commander survived, he was wounded in the neck. After the war, my grandfather met with the commander. It was somewhere in the seventies. When they met, they hugged and could not speak for a long time, only cried. They left behind the front line and with sabotage missions (they hunted food from the Germans, shot German officers from sniper rifles). One day, returning from another assignment, they saw a German officer walking on horseback. They removed him from the horse, tied him up and, together with the stallion, brought him to their positions. The stallion was then given the nickname "trophy" and was presented to the regiment commander, whose service horse had died the day before. My grandfather said that this stallion carried out commands only in German. Near Kursk he was seriously wounded. They came from reconnaissance and settled in the trench for lunch - and at that time the mortar shelling began. The first mine fell far ahead of the trench, the second from behind. The third mine hit the breastwork of the trench - and he remembered nothing else ... He woke up already in the hospital, when the nurse was washing the dirt and blood from his head. Shrapnel from a mine hit the head, shoulder, leg and chest. He survived. After the war, when X-rays were taken, he was always asked: “Have you been to the war? Does the shard bother you? Well, then a soldier - go with him, it is very dangerous to remove him, it is close to your heart. " His children often put a magnet on his leg and head - and it stuck to the body, since there were metal fragments inside. Order of the Great Patriotic War II degree "found" him after the war, somewhere in the 80s. He was summoned to the military registration and enlistment office, where the award was solemnly presented. Alexey Antonovich Tretyakov died in 1988.

The young family moved to the Moscow region, Ivan worked as the head of the Krasno-Pahorskiy RONO (regional department of public education), his wife studied at the Moscow IFLI (Institute of History, Philosophy and Literature). The world was already restless, a military threat was brewing.

And he was very fond of humming "March of the Gunners". Ivan Ignatievich did not talk about the war, he avoided memories. For many years after the war, he shouted at night: “Forward! For the Motherland! " Rare front-line photographs with his comrades in arms have been preserved. On one of them there is an officer on the breastwork of a trench, on the back there is an inscription: “To the fighting friend Tikhomyrych. Looking at the photo, remember the "fun" days of our "peaceful" life. I hope that after the end of the war we will find an opportunity and conditions for a meeting so that we can remember the past days with a good glass. February 6, 1944 from. Kluki, Kiev region.

All went through wars,men- at the front, women - at the rear. Neighbor aunt Dasha survived the Leningrad blockade. In the spring of 1958. there was a sharp reduction in the size of the Army, many front-line soldiers resigned, including Ivan Ignatievich. The military service ended, a new stage of life began. The wives returned to their homeland in the Novo-Derevensky district of the Ryazan region. The new academic year 1958 began at the Al.-Nevskaya secondary school: Ivan was a military teacher, his wife was a teacher of home economics, and later - of history.
