The Order of Glory

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.

Name: last NAME: Petrov first NAME: Nicholas middle name: Vasilyevich CITY: Kungur, Molotov (Perm) region DATE of BIRTH: 09.05.1919 DATE of DEATH: 25.09.1988 HISTORY: Nikolay Vasilyevich Petrovich was Born in 1919, in the city of Kungur, Perm region. He was raised in an orphanage. In December 1942, he was called up to serve in the army by the Chui district military Commissariat of the Kirghiz SSR. At this time, our troops surrounded a large group of German troops in Stalingrad and fought fierce and persistent battles to destroy it. Nikolay got into the 328th rifle regiment, which defended the Stalingrad tractor plant. There was heavy fighting with heavy losses on both sides. The 328th rifle regiment was also heavily damaged, and its remnants were transferred to the 1379th rifle regiment of the 87th rifle division, which defended the Krasny Oktyabr factory. This plant continued to work in combat conditions-it repaired our tanks. From January 7 to February 2, 1943, there were fierce battles, and the 1379th rifle regiment defended the factory. On January 26, 1943, the German group in Stalingrad was divided into two parts during the fighting. On January 30, 1943, the commander of the German group, field Marshal Paulus, was captured. On February 2, 1943, the Germans surrendered. The fighting in Stalingrad stopped. Our troops, including the 87th rifle division, fought a rapid offensive to the West, liberating the territory of the Rostov region. Retreating, the enemy in some areas provided stubborn resistance. So it happened in the area of Zimovniki and the village of Olginskaya. As a result of offensive battles, the troops of the rifle division liberated the village of Olginskaya on February 7, 1943. In these battles, Nikolay Petrov showed courage and bravery, for which the Executive Committee of the Olginsky village Council awarded him the title "Honorary citizen of the village of Olginskaya". After the liberation of the village of Olginskaya, the 87th rifle division fought for the liberation of the village of Aksayskaya for a week. There were two natural obstacles in the way of the division's advance — the don river and the high ground on its right Bank, where German troops were stationed. It was winter. There was ice on the river. But it was impossible to overcome the river. German emplacements (guns, mortars, machine guns) were firing heavily at our advancing troops. Residents of the village of Aksayskaya, teenagers Sasha Ievlev and brothers Vasya and Zhenya Krivtsov, helped the scouts to go to the village and showed them where the German firing points and concentrations of German troops are located. The enemy was seriously defeated, and by the morning of February 14, 1943, the village was liberated. On the same day, our troops liberated Rostov. The enemy retreated and took up a defensive position on the Mius river. A stable Mius front was formed, where there was persistent fighting for five months. Nikolay Vasilyevich also participated in these battles. The Germans were sitting on the heights of the Western Bank of the Mius river, which dominated the flat Eastern Bank where our troops were stationed. The enemy was constantly shelling our positions, causing heavy losses. After the defeat of the German troops near Kursk, on August 18, 1943, our troops on the Mius front went on the offensive, broke through the enemy's deep-echeloned defenses, liberated the city of Taganrog and entered the territory of Ukraine. Especially persistent battles were fought near Melitopol and during the liberation of the Kherson region. Here Nikolay Vasilyevich during the liberation of the village of Pervomayskoye, being an assistant commander of a mortar platoon, successfully suppressed the enemy's firing points with fire from his mortars and defeated his manpower, which contributed to the rapid liberation of the village. For skilful actions in this battle, he was awarded the order of Glory of the III degree, and the Executive Committee of the Pervomaysky village Council awarded him the title "Honorary citizen of the village of Pervomayskoye". In these battles in early November 1943, Petrov was seriously wounded. He was sent to a hospital in Kislovodsk, where he remained until February 1944. After recovery, he was appointed commander of the expedition group of underwater technical works, which was located in Rostov-on-don and was engaged in lifting ships sunk in the don and Seversky Donets rivers. Here Nikolay Vasilyevich met the Victory Day. In December 1945, he was dismissed from the army and returned to the village of Aksayskaya. In 1988, Nikolay Vasilyevich died and was buried in the Aksai cemetery.

For important information about the fascist plans provided by the Pope to the Soviet command, he was awarded the order of Glory of the 3rd degree. In 1944, Prostakov Alexander Sergeevich and two other intelligence officers were assigned by the Soviet command to install the National flag of the USSR on the Eastern front in the rear of the Nazis. The fascists, seeing the National flag, were stunned, thinking that the Soviet troops were reinforcing their forces and would soon give them a strong rebuff, and therefore fled. A participant in the battles for the liberation of the city and fortress of Konigsberg, Papa led the fighters forward by personal example and this decisively influenced the outcome of the battle. Personally, he destroyed up to 18 fascist soldiers and a machine gun covering the approach to the Bay. For military merits, the Soviet command awarded the Pope, Alexander Prostakov, the order of the red star. In the winter of 1944, the troops of the 3rd Belorussian front, where my father served, dealt the main blow to the fascist army. Step by step, squeezing the ring around the encircled German group, our army destroyed the enemy and liberated all of East Prussia. The fighting was very heavy. The roar of guns, volleys of tanks, wounded soldiers in need of help. Prostakov Alexander Sergeevich, rescuing the wounded, ferried them across the river to the other side of the river.

First, an 18-year-old boy, he was sent to the Guryev military infantry school, where they trained Junior officers for the front. It was not necessary to finish it, because the enemy threatened Stalingrad. The cadets were sent as part of a reserve battalion to the Volga border to reinforce the defenders of the city. They were trained as officers, and sent to the front as ordinary soldiers. He served in the 290th guards SP, 95th guards SD, member of the CPSU (b) from 1944. He fought on the Steppe, Voronezh, 1st and 2nd Ukrainian fronts. From near Stalingrad, the soldiers of the unit where I. V. Petrov served were sent to Kursk. We went on foot to the positions, covered 30 km per night, hid for days, disguised ourselves in the woods or ravines. 40 km from s.Prokhorovka had to create another line of defense: each soldier had to dig 8 meters of trenches per day with a small sapper shovel. The entire defense was built in five echelons. Ivan Vladimirovich recalled that on 5.07.1943, about three o'clock in the morning, the ground shook, and artillery preparation began. It turned out that our gunners started it, anticipating the Germans. The infantrymen in their trenches did not know this, at first they thought that the Germans had broken through. By midday, the first vehicles with the wounded went to the rear along the road that passed nearby. Petrov said: "on the night of July 7, we were built and sent to the front line. There were almost no infantry left, and the ranks of the first echelon defenders were battered. We, graduates of the military school, almost officers, naively thought that we would quickly cope with the enemy, because we are more experienced soldiers. However, at dawn, the air bombing began, the fascists flew almost over their heads. Many cadets died on the same day. July 12 morning did not portend bad, the sun was happy and promised a pleasant day. The calm was broken by tank armadas that were moving towards us from the enemy side. A messenger from the company commander came running and said that the tanks should be allowed to pass, and the infantry should be destroyed. Our tanks went to meet the enemy, and a hot battle ensued. We Marines were caught between two fires. Tankers jumped out of burning cars, not knowing where our people were, where the Germans were. When the fascists made a maneuver to the ravine in which our wounded were hidden, we received the command to also take to the right and not let them go there. In this battle, I had to command a platoon, because the commander was killed. Lifting the fighters forward, I was wounded. Some half-finished fascist shot and pierced my helmet and head." Sergeant Petrov received the first wound and lost consciousness, he was considered dead, left on the battlefield. He woke up when it started raining. The paramedics picked up the soldier and sent him to the medical unit. 20 days had to be treated, he was threatened with disability, documents were being prepared for the rear. Ivan Petrov could not imagine himself an invalid, he stole the documents and returned to his regiment, although the bandage was still white on his head. This was August 2, and on August 3 the offensive began. Sergeant Petrov joined the intelligence platoon. For the memorable battle of 12.07.1943, he was awarded the medal "for bravery". In August, near the Dnieper river, he received another wound, then on the territory of Ukraine he was shell-shocked and wounded for the third time.

At the end of the war, he received commendations From the command for participating in the liberation of 14 European cities. At the same time, in 1945, he was awarded the Silver star of the us Congress – one of the highest awards of the allies. He received this award for bravery when meeting with American troops on the Elbe. His intelligence group was in a difficult situation, because during a meeting with the allies, the Germans suddenly appeared: the Americans retreated, and the Soviet fighters took the fight. They stopped the last American Willis car that was leaving (that was the first time Ivan saw an African-American), explained the method of firing the gun in the car with signs, and held the German infantry, in addition to destroying the tiger tank. The allies retreated safely, and the fascists also retreated. The intelligence and courage of the scouts saved the situation. For this, petty officer Petrov was awarded the Silver star. A few days later, parts of the 95th guards SD were transferred to Czechoslovakia. Once the scouts found themselves in the woods near a small hut of a local resident. It was from him that we heard about the end of the war. He listened to the news of the German surrender on the radio in the basement and pleased the Soviet soldiers. After the liberation of Prague, Ivan Vladimirovich's chest was decorated with the medal "for the liberation of Prague". On may 9, the fighting continued, unfortunately, I had to participate in the encirclement of the ROA (vlasovtsy) troops. In those days, a second meeting with the Americans took place-accidentally during an intelligence operation to identify the Vlasovites. On a forest road, a car carrying a Colonel of American troops was also fired at. The soldiers of the 290th guards SP repulsed the Colonel and his driver. After the fight, the driver saw a Silver star on the tunic of Sergeant Petrov and explained that he would be given another one for saving the Colonel. But it wasn't meant to be. "On may 14, we celebrated the Victory! Tables about 100 meters long were built in a forest clearing. The division commander came to congratulate his men. That day I saw men crying, " Ivan Vladimirovich recalled. In early September, he had to participate in the Victory parade, and then he came home on vacation. He served for some time in Austria, and was discharged I. V. Petrov only in February 1947. After the war, he returned to Blue Sheehan,

On August 23, 1972 (St. Lawrence of Kaluga memorial day), death interrupted work on the war story (now gradually published on http://www.proza.ru/avtor/nfpolunin [ http://www.proza.ru/avtor/nfpolunin ] ). God gave Nikolay Fedorovich the ability to vividly and figuratively, with great love, describe the unique beauty of his native nature, the life of ordinary Russian people, peasant labor, military exploits of soldiers, and briefly and concisely Express deep human feelings and experiences. A special place in the poet's work is occupied by military themes. He loved life very much! Reading the war poems of Nikolay Polunin, it is impossible not to notice his deepest hatred for war — for the "murder of humanity" - as he put it in the poem"the Battle for Russia". It was written for the 150th anniversary of the Patriotic war of 1812, but it is clear that the poet put into it his own pain, his experiences as a soldier of the great Patriotic war... Although God's Providence determined Nikolay Fyodorovich to live, fight, work and create poetry in the era of "state atheism", in his real actions the Russian Orthodox soul was clearly manifested, filled with kindness, sincere Christian love for his neighbors, the ability to empathize with people in their sorrows and joys, to feel the inner world of people subtly, to generously forgive their mistakes and mistakes, to courageously defend the Motherland, up to the readiness to " lay down15: 13). All these good Christian qualities of Nikolay Fyodorovich were clearly manifested in his poetic work. "All Polunin's poems are written in a single stylistic manner. They are smooth, melodic... Even in small, insignificant, at first glance, poems, a joyful art is born that makes you fall in love with life" - this is how friendly critics evaluated the works of Nikolay Polunin. And the official obituary of the group of writers ends with these words: "...And wrote poetry. He did not invent them, did not compose them. They were born in his soul when he walked through his native fields and woods, talked with farmers, thought about the fate of those who plow the land, feed and clothe the country… The lines of his poems warm the soul, help in work.
