CITY: Zharma district, Semipalatinsk region DATE OF BIRTH: 01/01/1916 DATE OF DEATH: 02/23/1944 HISTORY: Title: Senior sergeant Type of troops: Ground forces, Air Force (except naval aviation), coastal service, NKVD troops, border troops Subdivision: 8th Guards Rifle Rezhitskaya Order of Lenin Red Banner Order of Suvorov Division named after IV Panfilov "Black Death" from Kazakhstan. 397 personal victories. There are many Kazakh soldiers among the heroes of the Great Patriotic War. One of them, the famous sniper, who, although he did not receive the title of Hero of the Soviet Union, performed an immortal feat, destroying enemy soldiers and officers to a battalion. There were legends about Tuleugali Abdybekov on all fronts, the enemies were afraid of him and called him "the black death". Tuleugali Abdybekov was born in 1916 in the family of Abdybek Nasyrkhan in the Zharma district of the Semipalatinsk region. His father taught him to shoot accurately, to patiently track down prey, to endure hardships. And now the fame of the young hunter - tracker Tuleugali Abdybekov passes from aul to aul. His hunting trophies amaze seasoned hunters and aksakals. In 1941, the Great Patriotic War began. In May 1942, a group of recruits from the Chimkent region, in which Tuleugali was also, arrived at the Kalinin Front, where the famous division named after Hero of the Soviet Union, Major General I.V. Panfilov, took up defense. The command of the 1077th regiment, having thoroughly studied the replenishment, placed the fighters taking into account their characteristics and capabilities. Upon learning that Abdybekov was a hunter, he was handed a rifle with a telescopic sight. Fighting days began. ... There were battles for the height. They lasted over a week. During these days, the sniper Abdybekov killed 19 enemies. The height was recaptured, but the Germans launched a counterattack. 25 enemy soldiers head straight for the Tuleugali trench. 25! And he is alone. Is this death? No ! Let the enemy die. The sharp-sighted eye of the steppe-hunter is leaning towards the optical sight. Here he is - the enemy, very close. This is an officer. Abdybekov knows how to beat for sure. A shot rang out, a shot through the enemy falls into the snow. Thuleugali takes aim again, and another falls, then another, and so on. The Germans are scared. They scamper to the sides, cannot understand where the sniper is shooting from, and in panic they shoot anywhere. And the sniper slowly and methodically sends one bullet after another. 25 Fritzes were walking to the foot of the hill. Now there are only three left. Tuleugali killed the 23rd 60 meters from his trench. And only two miraculously managed to escape. On this day, as comrades said, Tuleugali sent 35 fascist invaders to hell in hell. The news of his feat spread throughout the Kalinin Front, and this became known far beyond its borders. Here are some details of the combat work of the well-aimed shot master Abdybekov. On the first day of hostilities outside the city, Tuleugali Hill personally destroyed 17 enemies. On the second day, the sniper sat down in a wrecked tank and shot at close range the Germans who were accumulating for a counterattack. The result of this day is 58 exterminated enemies. The third day again changed the battle situation. At night the Germans launched a counterattack. The sniper's score has increased by another 29 destroyed enemies. "As long as they see my eyes and my hands are holding the rifle tightly, there will be no life for the fascists," the sniper says. In a brief report of the hostilities of the 8th Guards Rifle Division in 1942, it was noted that by the 2nd rally of the division's snipers in December 1942, senior sergeant Abdybekov had already killed 219 fascists. The fame of the famous sniper - Panfilov's soldier Tuleugali Abdybekov spread throughout the front, about his military affairs on the eve of the new year, 1943, a broadcast was organized on the All-Union radio. On January 23, 1944, a close friend of Tuleugali, scout Grigory Postolnikov, a brave warrior who received his baptism of fire in the battles for Stalingrad, where he was awarded the medal "For Courage", died near the village of Melikhovo. Machine-gun fire from the enemy pillbox pushed our soldiers to the ground. Postolnikov saw his comrades fall under dagger fire. The decision was made instantly: a sharp rush to the pillbox, and his body covered the embrasure. The soldiers rushed to the attack with redoubled fury. The enemies were driven out of the village. Tuleugali Abdybekov grieved the death of his friend. At the funeral of Grigory on January 23, 1944, he takes an oath: "I, your brother, Kazakh Tuleugali Abdybekov, swear over your holy grave that I will mercilessly avenge the fascist monsters for your death, for the blood of Soviet people, for the grief and tears of our wives and mothers. . " During the days of the winter offensive of 1944, he was always in front, in the most critical areas, his well-aimed shots terrified and panicked enemies. The best German snipers hunted for him, but Tuleugali individually destroyed them. On the eve of the anniversary of the Soviet Army, a duel took place - a duel with another enemy sniper. At this time, Tuleugali had a bad cold, he was not well.The German beat him for a moment, and the first bullet hit Abdybekov, but the mortally wounded Tuleugali still managed to take revenge: the German sniper was killed on the spot by the last shot of the hero - the Kazakh. It was the 397th enemy entered into the personal combat account of the famous shooter. And the last ... On February 23, 1944, on the day of the Soviet Army, Tuleugali Abdybekov died of his wounds and was buried northeast of the Nasva station of the Novo - Sokolniki district of the Kalinin region. For military exploits, Abdybekov Tuleugali Nasyrkhanovich was awarded the Orders of the Red Star, the Red Banner, posthumously - the Orders of the Patriotic War of the 1st degree and of Lenin. The command did not present him for the title of Hero of the Soviet Union only because Tuleugali honestly wrote in his biographical questionnaire that his uncle Kemelbai was repressed. Distrust of Tuleugali and suspicion followed the questionnaire, crushed and tore at the soul ... The warrior - the hero Abdybekov deeply loved his homeland, he was faithful to the military oath to the end, he valued the title of Guardsman - Panfilov's soldier.

Division: 86th Guards Rifle Nikolaev Red Banner Division Ivanov Yakov Pavlovich was born in 1895. He died in 1983. Lived for 88 years. Ivanov Yakov Pavlovich participated in two wars: the Soviet-Finnish and the Great Patriotic War, but he was drafted into the army at a time when our country was considered the Russian Empire, when Russia was ruled by Emperor Nicholas II. In 1916 (at the age of 21) he was drafted into the tsarist army in the ground forces for 4 years near St. Petersburg. At this time, the First World War was going on. But at the front he almost did not have to be, as he was trained for further military service. But in 1917, two revolutions took place: the February and the October, which changed not only our Russia, but also the world and, of course, the fate of private Ivanov Yakov. Like most of the soldiers at the time, Yakov was on the side of the revolutionary events, i.e. accepted Soviet power. He even happened to guard the royal family before they were sent to Tobolsk. He told how he stood on guard and the Empress was often carried by him in a carriage, Nicholas II passed, he saw Tsarevich Alexei and the Grand Duchesses. After the royal family was sent into exile, the soldiers were dismissed to their homes. At that time, there was a civil war in Russia. By the time of his return to Siberia, Kolchak's army was already there at that time. The supreme commander-in-chief of the Russian army, General Kolchak, settled in Omsk and began to call himself "the supreme ruler of Russia." In Omsk, he organized a new capital. Here was his headquarters. To replenish the ranks of his army, Kolchak began to recruit soldiers from local residents. The Siberians at first refused to fulfill duties, taxes, did not appear on the call to the army of Kolchak, and then went on to partisan struggle. Our grandfather was lucky, he escaped mobilization into the army of Kolchak and went to the partisans. In November 1919, Omsk was liberated by the Red Army. Life gradually improved, daughters grew up, a strong household appeared. They lived in peace until a new disaster struck: in 1939 a war with the Finns began and he was again drafted into the army. Ivanov Yakov Pavlovich fought in the 91st rifle division. On March 12, 1940, the war ended, he returned home with the combat award "Excellent Worker of the Red Army", which was given for fortitude and bravery in hostilities. But the peace was broken again. Fascist Germany treacherously attacked our country. The Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945 began. And again he was drafted into the army. Guard Private Ivanov Yakov Pavlovich as part of the 19th Army of the Western Front took part in hostilities. Participated in the capture of Budapest (Hungary), in the Swamp-Hungarian operation, in which the way was opened for the liberation of Austria and its capital Vienna. Was awarded with awards: Medal "For Military Merit", received the badge "Guardsman", Medal "For Courage", Medal "For the Capture of Budapest", Medal "For Victory over Germany" and the Order of the Patriotic War of the 1st degree. He was wounded, received a serious concussion in one of the battles and was sent for treatment to a military hospital in Leningrad. Fate again brought him to this city. After the war, he worked as the head of the household in the regional hospital. Awards: Order of the Patriotic War, Military award "Excellent Worker of the Red Army", Medal "For Military Merit", Badge "Guardsman", Medal "For Courage", Medal "For the Capture of Budapest", Medal "For Victory over Germany".

Rank: Red Army. Branch of the service: Ground Forces, Air Force (except naval aviation), coastal service, NKVD troops, border troops. I would like to write about my father, Mikhail Pavlovich Ischenko. He was born in 1926 in Ukraine, in the small town of Volnovakha, not far from Donetsk (at that time, Stalino) in a simple working-class family. As a child, he experienced everything, both hunger and cold, he even had to eat sparrows. Having barely reached the age of eighteen, he was drafted into the ranks of the Red Army in 1944 and fought as part of the 3rd Belorussian Front. He took part in the liberation of Orsha and part of Belarus. My father is from the generation of defenders of the Fatherland of the last military draft, and this is a special category of people. On January 13, 1945, the Soviet army launched the East Prussian operation, and at the beginning of April 1945, the assault on Konigsberg began. According to Soviet data, the losses of the troops of the 3rd Belorussian Front during the assault on Koenigsberg amounted to 3,700 people killed. The father survived but was seriously injured. A shrapnel knocked out 3 ribs, and the bullet stuck in soft tissues 1 cm from the spine. I remember from childhood how I looked at his X-ray and was surprised how a person can live with a bullet in the body. He lived a long life, he was many times invited to Belarus to military parades, but his health did not allow, and the country of the Soviet Union no longer existed. Having passed next to death, the father acquired exceptional resistance to adversity and a constant readiness to come to the rescue, despite his age and illness. He died in Donetsk at the age of 81.

Rank: Junior Sergeant Type of Troops: Ground Forces, Air Force (except naval aviation), coastal service, NKVD troops, border troops Subdivision: 230th Infantry Division (1st formation) To the 70th anniversary of the Great Victory. The girl went through the whole war Photo: communa.ru A letter on the page of the "Commune" in social networks prompted the newspaper journalist to search for the data of a front-line grandmother. This letter came to the site of "Commune". “My name is Nadezhda Mikhailova. My grandfather died near Voronezh in 1942. He was a fire spotter. My grandmother was never able to find his grave. His name was Petr Aleksandrovich Mikhailov. A native of the Borovichi district of the Novgorod region. Maybe you can help me "? Tamara Gashimova “scattered” the letter on social networks - and thought: what do I know about my grandmother? Where did you fight, where did you meet the Victory? Medals and a guards badge, and those for childhood-stupidity lost. This photo shows Tatiana Israilova, a twenty-three-year-old girl with a medal "For Courage". August 1945. Czechoslovakia. How many times, looking at the picture, remembering the rare and laconic stories of my grandmother about the war, in essence the answers to my sister's and my questions, I thought: could I leave my parents, study at the institute, my beloved city, and go to the front at the age of 19? To be radio operator. To the front line. In the worst hell - to lay and provide communication on the front line. To know that at any moment I can die, be captured or go missing. And still leave. I do not know. Granny lived in the center of Tbilisi. Her parents managed to get rid of the prefix "Ter" to their family name in time and painlessly merged into a new, Soviet life. She, the only daughter, was cared for and cherished. Rejoiced when she entered medical. The doctor is the most feminine profession. Always in a clean office, in a white coat. And for the family, the benefit is great. I am nine or ten years old. Grandma comes into the room. I kiss her and feel the subtle smell of cigarettes. Having heard enough at school that smoking is poison, I preach and categorically declare: - Quit smoking, or I will no longer love you! Grandmother in response strokes my head and says that this will not happen again. In the evening, my mother said that my grandmother had learned to smoke during the war. When, retreating or, conversely, advancing, part of them broke away from the rear, then the field kitchen had to wait for two or three days. First, they stretched the crackers, and then turned out the duffel bag in search of bread crumbs ... In August 1941, she was sent to the 10th separate linear reserve communications regiment for a three-month course for radio operators. In November 19-year-old Tatyana Israilova went to the front. Until December 1942, judging by the entry in the military card, she was a radio operator in the 966 rifle regiment. No division number, no army or front name. According to my mother, I knew that my grandmother was twice wounded and shell-shocked. But where and under what circumstances did this happen? A few weeks ago on the website "People's feat" I found a sheet about her awarding the medal "For Courage" in the city of Gyor, dated July 31, 1945. It says: “To reward the radio operator of the control company of junior sergeant Israilova Tatyana Georgievna. Being in battles on the Southwestern Front on January 20, 1942, at night, under heavy enemy fire, she conducted a communication line, restored the broken line within two hours, which made it possible to present an urgent report. On 08/25/1942, under heavy enemy fire, when leaving the encirclement, she timely submitted the order of the commander to the battalion headquarters. Lightly wounded on 20 January 1942, severely shell-shocked on 25 August 1942. The military ID only contained the numbers of the regiments and the hospital. In the award - only the front. Two days of searching on various sites to restore the combat path. I didn't want to drink, eat, or sleep. If only to find. Found it. Introduced. It became scary. I read: “On January 18, 1942, Soviet troops made the first attempt to liberate Kharkov. The shock group of the Southwestern Front broke the stubborn resistance of the enemy in the areas of Balakliya and Slavyansk. " On January 20th, a nineteen-year-old girl with a huge, heavy coil makes a connection. Then he rebuilds it after the bombing. Night. Bullets. Explosions. Earth from under your feet. The first wound ... Where exactly? Now you don't know. Again I throw requests into the search engine. Again I scan dozens of Internet pages with my eyes. Outside the window is night. Suddenly, a line flashes - "966th Infantry Regiment". The same one, grandmother! I open it and see: “On August 23, 1942, the 26th division fought in Dneprodzerzhinsk together with the 966 regiment of the 230th rifle division. On August 24, they emerged from the encirclement and crossed to the left bank of the Dnieper. At half past one in the night of August 25, Soviet troops left Dnepropetrovsk under the onslaught of the enemy, ferrying people and equipment to the left bank of the Dnieper. " It was on that night that Tatyana Israilova, delivering the report, was severely shell-shocked. After the hospital, she was granted leave in Tbilisi. This is evidenced by a miraculously preserved copy of the certificate of the Tbilisi Garrison Polyclinic dated September 5, 1942. It contains a record: service in connection is contraindicated.But my grandmother returned to her regiment and served in it until December 1942. Before his second shell shock ... A film about the war is on the TV screen. My sister and I watch without stopping. And the grandmother says: there were no soldiers in the trenches in new, ironed gymnastics and boots polished to a shine. And there were no songs. What songs, when there are lice and dirt all around? And the soul-taking whistle of bombs. And the pain of losing her friends, squeezing a girl's heart in an iron vice? The main thing is to complete the task and return alive. Write to mom. Time to whisper a prayer before the fight. Yours. The simplest one. To go home. And if you die, so immediately. No torment, no captivity. How, a prayer ?! - we round our eyes. - There is no God! The teacher told us. - No, no, - soothes us. I learned that she was baptized only after her death. Further on the military card reads: December 1942 - August 1943 - evacuation hospital 3121. Finding it was the easiest. The 375-bed hospital was located at the Gorkoye Lake resort, nine kilometers from the Alakul station of the Shchuchansky district of the Kurgan region. Here she was for eight months. Here I met my twenty-first birthday. In August 1943, Tatiana Israilova was sent to the tenth separate communications regiment. She served in it until December 1944. The regiment was at first part of the 33rd Army of the Western Front, then wandered from one Belorussian front to another. She participated in offensive battles in Belarus, crossed the Dnieper, liberated Mogilev, Bialystok, Minsk. And again - military ID: December 1944-October 1945 - 25th separate mechanized regiment of the 7th Guards Mechanized Corps of the 1st Ukrainian Front - squad leader. And again the search. I will soon find out: with her girls, she participated in the Sandomierz-Silesian, Lower Silesian and Upper Silesian operations, the liberation of the southern regions of Poland, the crossing of the Oder. I was happy with them when in April the corps was awarded the Order of Bohdan Khmelnitsky, II degree. Then there was the Berlin, then the Prague strategic operations. I read and understand: my memory does not fail me. I remember how my grandmother regretted that they were transferred from Berlin to Czechoslovakia. Among the grandmother's documents there is also a copy of the wound certificate issued by the Surgical Field Hospital No. 5164 "Prague" on September 8, 1945. Tatyana Israilova demobilized on October 15, 1945 with medals "For Courage" and "For Victory over Germany." She returned to Tbilisi, got a job as a signalman. She got married and gave birth to four children. Three of them were buried in infancy, only my mother survived. To save her, who miraculously climbed out after lung infiltration, without hesitation, she changed the humid climate of her beloved Georgia to the dry but frosty climate of Yakutia. The husband refused to go. Then she alone, across the country, with a one-year-old daughter in her arms and a Singer sewing machine, went to Magadan. From there - to the cold pole, in Oymyakonye. To the Dalny mine, next to which the first houses of the Artyk settlement were just beginning to be built. ... My sister and I are sitting in the kitchen of my grandmother. Granny offers us scrambled eggs and tomatoes. At first we are mischievous, we wrinkle our noses - we don't want to, although we have never tried this. And then suddenly we agree. Tasty extraordinary! Until now ... Everything and always she did herself. I have never enjoyed anyone's friendship and affection. And I never envied anyone. With my own hands I built a house with all the amenities. A greenhouse to feed my daughter with fresh vegetables. In the short northern summer, the yard was surrounded by the greenery of trees and flowers planted by her hands. Living on one salary, I managed to constantly take my mother to Moscow, Leningrad, Tbilisi, to theaters, art galleries. Collected a large library. She managed to do everything: build, plaster, sew and knit for the entire female half of the family, embroider with satin stitch and a cross, chop coal, chop wood. It didn’t cost her anything to get electricity, glaze the window frames. And in the morning - come to work in an elegant suit, with a beautiful haircut. All her life, until retirement, my grandmother worked as a radio operator, first in Tbilisi, then in Yakutia. The work book and the insert are full of gratitude. ... Once my grandmother found me bursting into tears. Smearing tears on her cheeks, she admitted that, climbing over the fence after the boys, she tore her dress. I sobbed, knowing that I would get a scolding from my mother. At seven years old, it seemed like a real tragedy. Grandma hugged me and said: a torn dress is not grief. Grief is when nothing can be changed. Grief is death. But even here no one should see your tears. Respect the strong; the weak are sorry. I understood the meaning of these words when I became an adult. When I comprehended what I knew about my grandmother from my mother's words. She was ill for a long time. But she passed away suddenly, at the age of 56, as a result of a hypertensive stroke. Two days before that, a parcel with corn flour and sweets arrived from Tbilisi. We ate the goodies right away, my mom was going to bake the corn cakes on the weekend. Did not make it...

The young officer trained sergeants to the front. Further, Peter Evstafievich was directed to the formation of the 58th Army. At this time, I learned that his father had died. But there was no time to grieve, the war was going on. He received his baptism of fire from Zhitomir as part of the 99th rifle division and was soon appointed commander of a mortar company.

Pursuing the retreating enemy, the 3rd battalion in front of the village of Ilyinskoye met stubborn resistance. The enemy launched 2 counterattacks with the support of artillery and tanks. Under the skilful command of Captain Ivashkin, the battalion successfully repelled the enemy's counterattacks, went over to the attack, and with heavy losses for the enemy occupied the village of Ilyinskoye.Worthy of a government award with the Order of the Red Star. Serafim Ivashkin went through the entire war: from start to finish, received five wounds, and celebrated Victory Day in Germany. He was demobilized on December 1, 1945. Ivashkin's colleague, Honored Professor of KalmSU V.B. Ubushaev also notes that it was very difficult for Serafim Semyonovich to talk about the war. “Only once at my house over a cup of tea, in a confidential conversation, he told me about a bullet wound to the head,” says Vladimir Badakhaevich. - It happened in a fight between Captain Ivashkin and a German lieutenant colonel, when they came face to face. Ivashkin defeated the enemy, but at the same time received a serious wound in the head. The fascist officer turned out to be a "bird of high flight", and the command awarded Ivashkin with an award. The military concussion constantly reminded Serafim Semyonovich, he suffered from it, but this did not affect his teaching and scientific activities. He was always demanding of both students and himself. " After demobilization, Seraphim returned to Mordovia, graduated from the regional school (Saransk, Mordovian ASSR), as well as the correspondence department of the history faculty of the Mordovian State Pedagogical Institute named after A.I.

Ivashkin - Senior Researcher, then Head of the Central State Archives of the Mordovian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic. While working at the State Archives, Serafim Semenovich took up scientific activities. One fact from the memoirs of Vladimir Ivashkin is indicative: “From the trophy“ good ”, my father brought a little from Germany. Some kind of spoon, some kind of knife, a saber in a scabbard with a black handle, which I later gave to my nephew in the village. So, trifles, "souvenirs". But the main thing that was not a trifle for him was that he brought a PRINTING MACHINE. At that time, it was of considerable value and deficit, especially for the writing fraternity, for a novice scientist - for sure! To convert the font from German to Russian, I had to sell my father's jacket: there was no extra money in the family. I remember how a silent, quiet master with a soldering iron came to our house and during the work he clarified everything, "the machine is registered with the relevant authorities or not." His father reassured him with a smile, admonished him, and he still doubted, sighed all the time, but neatly did his job. During 1953-1956 Serafim Semenovich studied in graduate school. On January 24, 1956, he defended his Ph.D. thesis, and by the decision of the Council of the Moscow State Historical and Archival Institute, he was awarded the academic degree of Candidate of Historical Sciences.
