Voloshin Grigory Yefimovich_x000D_ _x000D_ My great-grandfather Voloshin Grigory Efimovich was born on May 20, 1926 in the city of Kotovsk, Odessa region of the Ukrainian SSR. At the beginning of the great Patriotic war, the Voloshin family was evacuated to the Stavropol territory. My great-grandfather graduated from high school there with honors. In 1943, my great-grandfather specifically assigned himself a year to volunteer for the army. First, he got into the training unit, successfully graduated, and was assigned to the infantry. My great-grandfather went to the front in March 1944. Place of recruitment: Alexandria-Obolensky RVC, Stavropol Krai, Alexandria-Obolensky district. Great-grandfather served as a private guard, scout 8 separate guards reconnaissance company 9 guards airborne Poltava red banner and the order of Suvorov division. He defended the Ukrainian front from August 1944. Great-grandfather rarely talked about the war. But I remembered some cases from my front-line life. At the beginning of his military career, great-grandfather served in the infantry. The food was poor during the war years, and the infantry even more. One day, great-grandfather went to the guard, and when he returned, his friends in the company said that they decided to leave the infantry together to join the reconnaissance company. The intelligence service said they were better fed. If the infantry troops were given only one pot of porridge, then in intelligence it was still a decent piece of fat and a small chocolate bar. At first, great-grandfather didn't notice much difference in nutrition. But three days later, he realized that fat and chocolate still give a significant increase in strength and endurance than empty porridge. Scouts needed much more strength than ordinary infantrymen, as they performed much more complex and dangerous tasks. So, great-grandfather by chance became a scout. Shortly before the end of the war, my great-grandfather was wounded. A shell fragment tore off the middle finger on his right hand. He went to the hospital. His intelligence team was sent on another mission, and, unfortunately, they all died… My great-grandfather met the victory in a hospital in Czechoslovakia. After the war, the authorities really wanted him to go to military school and continue his military career. But great-grandfather was tired of fighting and did not want to be a military man. Although until 1948, he still had to serve in various garrisons in Romania, Austria and Hungary. After returning home in 1948, my great-grandfather studied in absentia at the pedagogical Institute and received a degree as a history teacher. He started working in party structures. He died on April 30, 1996.

Our group (6 people) was ordered to conduct a quiet reconnaissance of the area, learn about the weapons of the German unit located there and capture the "tongue". In the evening, we went exploring. It was a little scary. Every now and then rockets flashed, gunfire came from both sides, and the Germans were also awake. We were lucky, we carried out the order, even capturing a German officer.

It is difficult to tell what hardships the wounded air gunner-radio operator experienced when he landed with a parachute from a downed plane on the night of August 8, 1943. It is important that neither disease, nor hunger, nor endless transfers from one camp to another in a distant foreign land did not break the spirit of the Soviet Aviator.

Vanglinsky Konstantin Vladimirovich_x000D_ _x000D_ Konstantin Vladimirovich Vanglinsky was born on June 23, 1926 in the Belarusian SSR, Slavnaya station. As a fourteen-year-old, he entered a vocational school in Osintorf. In addition to studying, students extracted peat, dried it and sent it to the warehouse. In 1941, he graduated from the school, and in the same year the school was evacuated to Mordovia. He worked as a mechanic in the railway depot at station Razuvaeva. At the end of 1944, a young man who had just turned 18 was called up to the army. Konstantin took a four-week course as a young soldier and in January 1945, as part of a rifle division, was sent to the 3rd Belorussian front (commander-Marshal of the Soviet Union A. M. Vasilevsky). He received his first baptism of fire at Konigsberg. On April 6, he participated in the night assault on the city. 3 days later, on April 9, Konigsberg capitulated. On April 20, 1945, troops liberated the town of Pillau (now Baltiysk), a former German stronghold in the East. For the liberation of Konigsberg, for courage and bravery, soldiers, including Konstantin Wanglinsky, were awarded the order of Glory II degree. The awards were presented by General of the army I. H. Baghramyan. Konstantin Vladimirovich himself told: "The city of Konigsberg was strongly fortified, surrounded by powerful and reliable defensive structures. On the outskirts of the city there were tank divisions, motor reserve divisions, and infantry units. Also, the city was surrounded by a large ditch with water. The soldiers laid pontoons so that the tanks could pass. The fighting at Konigsberg was fierce. The actions of our army were confident and smart. The capture of the city involved Soviet heavy bomber planes that bombed the city every 10 minutes, smashed artillery, and then went tanks and infantry. There was no hatred in the attack, only anger. The soldiers and commanders fought bravely and bravely. The most important task for me was: uninterrupted operation of Maxim. In the interval between battles, they restored the shipping channel and dug trenches. German riflemen were firing at us, giving us no rest. The soldiers were able to wash in the bathhouse in short breaks, and they were fed well. Experienced soldiers, as they could, protected us, young, not shot, shared their experience, carefully introduced us to the battle... And again, the battle. Three days later, Koenigsberg fell, and residents hung white canvases from their Windows. There was a heavy battle near the city of Pillau (now the city of Baltiysk). In cooperation with the red banner Baltic fleet, our units liberated it." Konstantin Vladimirovich Vanglinsky took part in offensive actions in East Prussia, in the liquidation of the German Kurland group. He was discharged in May 1946. Awarded the order of the Patriotic war II degree.

From that time, for 30 years, until 1987, he worked as a driver of the air ambulance of the national hospital named after N. A. Semashko. Thousands of kilometers he measured in his car on the roads of Buryatia, at any time of the year, in any weather, delivering doctors to provide urgent medical care to the sick and injured. Thus, he also helped save people in his post. And how many of them there were-I can't count.
