Rybin Pavel Alekseevich_x000D_ _x000D_ In 1932, he was drafted into the Red Army, served for two years, and worked as a driver in the city of Yelabuga. In 1938, he was again mobilized and fought on lake Hasan and Halkin Gol against the Japanese. This war was called the unknown. In our country, it was not written about in the Newspapers, and there was no news from the front. In early 1938, Japan developed a plan to capture the territories of the USSR under the code name "Hattiga". My great-grandfather fought in the special forces’ corps 57. He was still alive. 25 August 1941 again front. The Great Patriotic War Began. Retreat, defense of Minsk, Smolensk, Rogachev. My great-grandfather served in the topographical intelligence service of the 14th guards army. Frost under forty degrees. Exhausted and exhausted, the red army men had been starving for a week. At night, the scouts brought a captive tongue, which dragged the sawed-off meat of a horse killed in battle-the scouts got both tongue and food. Mochalovskiy forests: defense and offensive every day, every day... Battles are being fought for every village that has been burned to the ground, smashed by enemy Junkers ' raids, and crushed by German tanks. This is the suburbs, Machalowskaya the Rzhev meat grinder - so it will call many years later. About two million Soviet soldiers died in those places. This is where my great-grandfather fought, he was thirty years old at the time. He is a Sergeant, surveyor, fire spotter. This means: to sneak into the enemy's rear, to see and remember the location of troops, tanks, and artillery ... and practically call the fire of our batteries on themselves. How is he still alive? He doesn't know! He has many awards: medals and orders. But the very first is the medal "For Bravery" - the most expensive-singed, with a faded ribbon. Near Rzhev, military happiness changed my great-grandfather: a severe wound in the abdominal cavity, a strong contusion. He was picked up half-dead by the "coffin" team. In 1943, he was released from the hospital, was cared for by his grandmother and survived, although the doctors did not promise this. And I always thought that Twardowski’s poems were about him. I was killed near Rzhev in a nameless bog, In fifth company, on the left... In a brutal attack. I didn't hear the explosion, I didn't see the flash: Straight into the abyss from the cliff - and no bottom, no tires.... After the war, my great-grandparents had children, grandchildren, and we are great - grandchildren. My great-grandfather is a Hero, without heroes like him, there would not be our homeland, peace on earth and us.

After returning home in 1947, he continued to work on the collective farm. It was difficult for him to talk in detail about the hard-hungry life, about military everyday life in dugouts, basements, trenches, about breakthroughs of encirclements. It was hard for his wounded soul to remember how they were stuck in the swamp for three days and how they spent five days on the roof of a shed occupied by the Nazis, with only a flask of water. It was creepy when Idris Saitovich talked about human suffering. He had seen a lot of them. Therefore, Victory Day is a very important and great holiday for all of us.

When the war began, she was at school, she was 12 years old. In 1943, when she was 14 years old, she was already part of the intelligence Agency at the place of residence, went to the location of German garrisons, where she changed eggs, butter from German soldiers, for soap and matches. Its purpose was, if possible, to determine the number and armament of the German garrison, etc. The information obtained was transmitted to the agent scout, who directly reported it to the brigade. So, she helped the partisans. In August 1943, she went to the 10th Kalinin partisan brigade, because it began to attract attention from the police. The intelligence commander was her father, Semen Dmitriev. In the brigade, my grandmother went to investigate, but not alone, but in a group of 2-3 people. They accompanied her through forests, swamps, to a certain destination, where they remained to wait for her return. As a girl, it was easier for her to approach the necessary objects, since no one paid special attention to the child. So, she learned the approaches to railway stations, bridges, their security, etc. Sometimes I went to certain people, scouts, in order to get information from them that they had. In order not to arouse suspicion, she pretended to go to the dressmaker or to the shoemaker, while carrying a larger dress or old boots. In difficult situations, sometimes I had to leave under a hail of bullets. She was in the partisan brigade for 10 months. Then, due to the approach of the front line and the expectation of fierce fighting, by order of the headquarters of the partisan movement, all minors from the partisans were sent to the Soviet rear. So, they, children and teenagers, were transported by plane to the rear, in the city of Kalinin. _x000D_ Awarded: Order of the Patriotic War II art. № 3622872; medal to the Partisan of the Patriotic War; medal for the Victory over Germany; badge "Front-Line soldier 1941-1945", and many more commemorative medals.

He was only 16 years old when, after the battle of Kursk, he came to the military enlistment office as a volunteer. This is how he remembered it: "Before I got to the front, when the Germans were in our area, we had to work with them to break the ice on the river, to carry huge blocks of ice on a cart. The work was hard, my hands, neck, face were stiff, and my whole body ached. It was easy to get pneumonia and die. And, most importantly, I was angry that I had to work for the Germans. I ran away from this to the front. Before I went to war, I was determined, like other boys, and I dreamed of romance. Later, when I experienced the cold, the fear and the danger, the roar and the howl, I felt a growing desire in me that this grinding, roaring and howling, death and stench, would soon stop once and for all. I returned home with the joy of the fact that, although I was seriously wounded-in the chest through, but did not die! » It was mentioned above that the troops of the 1st Ukrainian front joined the troops of the Belarusian front. The roads of my grandfather Stepa and father Kolya converged. Naturally, they could hardly meet, although they served side by side and did one thing in common. My father served on the 3rd Belorussian and Baltic fronts as a corporal, first as a sniper, then as a submachine gunner, and later as a scout in the commander's personal guard. He remembered that: "Was it scary in the trenches? Of course, even as! Especially when "Katyusha" entered the battle. You sit in the dark, the darkness is impenetrable, where your own, where others-it is not clear, and suddenly over your head with a howl sweep missiles "Katyusha". It feels like every shell is flying right at you. And you know it's high above you, but it's still scary, you can't move your legs or your arms. But you need to get out of the trench and run forward while the artillery preparation lasts." Dad was shot twice. The first shard broke through his Shoe and sank into the foot of his right foot. An orderly helped him cut the Shoe and the splinter off and bandaged his leg. After this slight injury, after lying in the hospital for several months, the Pope was back in the ranks. The second time, he was hit much more seriously: in the chest through and through. With this chest wound, my father lay in a hospital bed until the end of the war. The Pope complained that "I did not have time to perform any feat, and I did not kill a single German, but I smelled gunpowder, as they say, and got injured." But the Motherland marked the participation of young men like my father in the war differently. Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR of may 9, 1947 my father, Rakityanskiy Nikolay Fedorovich, was awarded the medal "For Victory over Germany in the great Patriotic War 1941 - 1945" In 1985 decree of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR in commemoration of the 40th anniversary of the Victory of Soviet people in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945. he was also awarded the Order of Patriotic War II degree.
