But most of yesterday's graduates had to go through army training first. Yakov was also in this group. He was drafted into the red Army and sent to study at the higher artillery school in Tbilisi, after which in may 1942 he began his long military journey along the roads of war. Extract from the personal file of Lieutenant ya. b. Dadashev, commander of the fire platoon of the 687th artillery regiment, 236th rifle Dnepropetrovsk red banner order of Suvorov division: 01.05.1942-11.09.1943-Transcaucasian front. 11.09.1943-13.11.1943-treatment in hospital No. 1710. 13.11.1943 – 21.02.1944 – 3-th Ukrainian Front. 21.02.1944-19.03.1944-treatment in the infirmary. 19.03. 1944 – 30.01.1945 – 3-y Ukrainian front. 30.01.1945-seriously wounded, left for treatment in a hospital in Yugoslavia. In the photo taken in may 1945 in Budapest, on the chest of officer Yakov Dadashev, on the right side – two orders: the order of the Patriotic war and the Order of the red Star, and on the left – two medals: "for bravery" and "for the liberation of Belgrade". Each of these awards could have cost him his life. From premium sheet: Dadashev B. Ya. awarded the medal "for bravery" 14.10.43 for the following feat: "During the fighting at s. Taranovka Taranovsky district of Kharkiv region from 6 to 12.09.43 proved to be a persistent and responsible officer. A platoon under his command, reflecting the enemy's counterattacks, knocked out an enemy tank of the T - IV type. 16.09.43 in a battle near the village of lozovoe, Kegichevsky district, Kharkiv region, tov. Dadashev was wounded, but did not leave the battlefield until the combat mission was completed. For steadfastness and skilful command of a platoon in battles with the German-fascist invaders, Lieutenant Dadashev is presented to the government award." Order of the Patriotic war I degree awarded in February 1945. From the application for the award: "in the battles with the German-fascist invaders on 30.01.45 in the area of the village of Adand (Hungary-approx. 2) on the Northern Bank of the Yelusha canal, the enemy launched a counteroffensive, throwing up to 30 armored units at the battery. Leading the battle with a numerically superior enemy, Lieutenant Dadashev was at the direct-fire gun. A personal example of bravery, despising death, he opened fire on tanks. Enemy tanks began to withdraw, firing heavily, surrounding the battery. Having got into difficult conditions, Lieutenant Dadashev encouraged his subordinates with his courage and, despite being seriously wounded, continued to command without leaving the battlefield. The guns of his platoon hit 3 tanks and 2 armored personnel carriers." And again, after treatment at the hospital Jacob bentsionovich insisted on returning to his unit. He did not want, but simply could not, this brave Lieutenant to leave his comrades alone, without his reliable commander and friendly shoulder next to them, risking their lives in battles with the enemy. And there was another Order of the red Star, which Jacob bentsionovich was awarded for the successful execution of command assignments behind enemy lines. And there was the medal "for the liberation of Belgrade". And it was the long-awaited Victory Day – the "joy with tears in your eyes"! This great day he met in a small town in the vicinity of Vienna, through which lay his way from another hospital to his military unit. On the eighth of may, at about eleven o'clock in the evening, the local military commandant's office sent him and another officer to spend the night with a local German woman. We got there and went to bed after midnight. No sooner had they fallen asleep than they heard the numerous sounds of gunfire from the street. The first thing that came to mind – "really fascists"? Hastily dressed, they ran out into the street ready to resist the enemy. But they were their own-our soldiers fired into the air and shouts of "Victory" along with automatic bursts exploded and deafened the night silence.... It was an unspeakable surge of joy and all sorts of emotions! The war was over-there were peaceful days ahead. In November 1948, Yakov married a nice girl from Buinaksk, Babaeva Rebekah. Together they raised three daughters. And the great Victory Day was celebrated in the family of Yakov and Rebekah with special attention and joy, in the family circle-children, grandchildren ,great-grandchildren, relatives. In their family album there is a wonderful photo of Yakov in a military uniform, which is already 75 years old! In may 1945, returning home on the roads of Europe, a young officer decided to take a photo for memory. It was in Budapest. The photographer could not immediately produce a photo, and Yakov Bencionovich could not wait for it – he was not yet demobilized and had to follow the instructions of the command. He left his home address to the photographer. And imagine, a few months later, in Derbent, to the address of his home, Kandelaki street, 8, came this photo! You can tell a lot about Yakov's work biography in bright colors! In all the places and posts where he exerted his strength and skill, he was respected and highly valued! And it is not for nothing that Yakov bencionovich ended his working career, having worked for 16 years as the Chairman of the Voluntary Fire Society of Dagestan. Yakov benzionovich throughout his life has earned deep respect not only from relatives and friends, but also from everyone with whom he had to communicate on the long path of life! His life can not be called boring-in addition to the military military, family and labor trends of his fate, he had and still has many Hobbies! The main one is chess battles. There was a time when he won a lot of victories not only in games with friends, but also participating in chess Championships. From a letter from the writer Mikhail Dadashev to Yakov Dadashev: "I must admit that your unexpected call from far away America (Yakov benzionovich now lives in the United States) brought me such joy that it is simply impossible to convey. Thank you very much for being alive and well, for the joy of all of us - your relatives. This call evoked a flood of memories in me: we are at the chessboard in Izberga, at the championship between Derbent and Izberbash...". In this family branch of the mighty ancient family tree of the Dadashevs, there were still participants in this great war, those who "brought victory as close As they could"! Yaakov's father, Benzion Dadashev Rubinovich, went to war against the Nazi enemy in July 1941. He was no longer young, but for some time participated in heavy fighting as a Rifleman of the 131st separate rifle battalion. Then, as a medic, he carried the soldiers out of the battlefield, giving them first aid. In addition, Ben Tzion Rubinovich, in the days of war had to work on a military field kitchen. He was discharged only on January 13, 1946. Mother of Jacob, Avgol, during the war almost all the time worked in the hospital as a nurse that has been deployed in Derbent. Before the war, she was in charge of the health center of a garment factory. Sometimes she would run home only to bring food rations to the younger children, daughter rose and sons, Hanukh and Ruvin. Yakov's older brother, Emmanuel benzionovich, was drafted into the Red Army in 1940 and served most of the great Patriotic War in the far East. There was some important fortified area against the Japanese militarists. For a time, he studied (and then taught) at the military infantry school. In 1943, while already in the European part of the theater of operations as a commander of a small machine-gun squad, Emmanuel benzionovich was wounded. After the hospital, with the rank of senior Sergeant, he served in a training rifle regiment, and then as the head of the food echelon that supplied our combat units in Yugoslavia and Hungary. Emmanuel bencionovich was demobilized at the end of September 1945.

Denisenko Ilya Nikitovich_x000D_ _x000D_ Ilya Nikitovich Denisenko was born in 1900 in a family with four other brothers. When the First world war began, his brothers went to the front. Two of them died, and two returned to their native Siberian village and died some time later. Ilya Nikitovich, the youngest of all the brothers, was almost mobilized in February 1919. But fate decreed otherwise. He, along with recruits led by Danil Opanovich, a resident of a neighboring village, met the Kolchak soldiers in battle. Word of the partisans quickly spread through the villages. The squad grew rapidly. By spring, it had already numbered 200 people's Avengers. A year later, they joined forces with shchetinkin's partisan detachment, which operated near Krasnoyarsk. Ilya Denisenko met the end of the war in Vladivostok. Ilya N. has not joined the Komsomol. During the partisan struggle, the defeat of Kolchak, the expulsion of the Japanese interventionists, there was no time to think about it, and then the age was not the same. But he was in the ranks of the Bolsheviks from the age of eighteen. In 1938, Ilya Nikitovich graduated from a military school, then was demobilized, and then returned to his native village. After the creation of the collective farm, he was elected Chairman. On August 16, 1941, he went to the front. He was a platoon commander. First he commanded a platoon of bombers, and then a group of flamethrowers. Ilya Nikitovich took part in the battles on the Leningrad front for the liberation of the cities of Pskov, Luga and Tikhvin, for which he was awarded three medals: "For the defense of Leningrad", "for military merit","for bravery". He was wounded twice. Due to a severe concussion that he received during the liberation of Pskov in January 1944, he went home. For eight years he worked as the head of a dairy farm in the village of Pchelniki. For this work, he was awarded the order of the Badge of honor. When Ilya Nikitovich was 68 years old, he headed the Central farm of the Pobeda collective farm. Ilya Nikitovich had to go through a lot during his difficult life, but he never gave up. He performed his civic duty with dignity, for which he deserves honor and respect.

Dogaev Peter Ivanovich_x000D_ _x000D_ Rank: Red army Unit: 245th rifle Valginsko-Rezhitskaya red banner division in 1907, Pyotr Ivanovich Dogaev was born in the village of Sonino, Oryol region. His parents were farmers. Since childhood, he has known hunger, various types of hard peasant labor. Then on huge and boundless territories not only full-flowing rivers bubbled, pranksters-streams rang, one after another collective farms were created. The peasant poor were United to work the land together. In the village with the affectionate name of Sonino, a collective farm named after Kalinin was formed. None of the villagers in those days did not know how to organize collective labor, helped the peasant efficiency and ingenuity. In 1928, my great-grandfather Pyotr Dogaev went to study tractor driving courses, and in 1930 the first tractor came to the village. It was as if Pyotr was effortlessly driving a powerful car across the field. In the summer, the village was slaughtered with bread, and in the fall they gathered a rich harvest. Tractor drivers were respected by everyone living in the village for their hard work, conscientiousness, generous heart, and willingness to always come to the rescue. In the summer of 1941, the war began Peter Ivanovich, like many in the village, went to the front. He was assigned to the 898th rifle regiment, 245th division. At the age of 34, he stood up for the defense of the Motherland. He fought to protect his land and was wounded several times. In 1945, he crossed the Oder. It was necessary to capture a bridgehead on the West Bank and hold it until the main forces arrived. The commander of the regiment, Lieutenant Colonel Nikolaev, understood that there was no way to break through head-on, there were few forces and people who had seen a lot in the war were tired. The commander agonized over what to do to prevent casualties and destroy the machine-gun points. Nikolaev knew his soldiers well, so he chose private Pyotr Dogaev to perform. The task was difficult. The night had come into its own. This is what Dogaev took advantage of. On a steep wave, drenched to the bone, he made his way to the Western shore. One by one, he destroyed the enemy's machine-gun points. Lay down in a crater, led a destructive fire on the enemy. The Nazis took it for a landing. The machine gun of the brave warrior worked flawlessly. Meanwhile, without waiting for dawn, Nikolaev raised the regiment and the soldiers went to cross the Oder with improvised means. Soon the regiment firmly straddled the captured bridgehead. The regimental commander expressed gratitude to Pyotr Dogaev and the army commander said that this was a heroic feat that will never be forgotten. The Motherland will highly appreciate the courage and bravery of a soldier. Only 17 sotintsy were lucky enough to cross the threshold of their home in the spring of 1945. A wounded soldier, Pyotr Dogaev, with orders and medals, and a thin white-washed duffel bag, appeared before his family. The soldier returned to the ashes, horses were stolen, there are no cows, mechanized tractor equipment is a ball-everywhere to roll, and the land is waiting for the grain grower, life goes on. He took the tractor team on his shoulders, and with teenagers and front-line soldiers who arrived, they began to collect tractors bit by bit. About Bogaevski crew talking in the area. Employees headed by Pyotr Ivanovich were distinguished by high professionalism and responsible attitude to business. Pyotr Ivanovich died in 1980. After his death, a letter came to the village from Vilnius. Lithuanian local historians found the award list of private Dogaev. Almost 40 years later, the Order of the red star and the Lenin medal were looking for their hero. They presented a five-pointed maroon order and a medal to their wife Matrena Dmitrievna. Almost 70 years ago, the Great Patriotic war ended. For history, it can be a brief moment, for people-a lifetime. Time flies like the wind, years flow like rivers. As the cliffs stood heroes, immortal is their feat. We, the younger generation, need to know what life and death, war and peace are, and at what cost we won the great Patriotic war. Children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren appreciate and are proud of their ancestor Dogaev Peter Ivanovich. His life feat. He is an example of living and future descendants.

Alexey Konstantinovich Dolzhikov_x000D_ _x000D_ Rank: Second Lieutenant military branch: Land forces, air force (except naval aviation), coast service, NKVD troops, border guard Unit: 219th rifle Idritskaya red banner division My great-grandfather Alexey Dolzhikov was born on March 23, 1924 in the village of Rogovatoe, Starooskolsky district, Belgorod region. I would like the Heroes to be known not only by their names, but also to know their exploits, to recognize them by sight, which is why I want to tell you the story of my great-grandfather, to share his memories, which we fortunately managed to record and save.- Grandfather, tell me about the war, - I persisted and persistently asked to remember the events of the past years. There were many things I didn't understand at the time, but questions flowed in a steady stream. I'll sit on my grandfather's lap and whisper softly:"Tell me, dear grandfather, and I will be silent!" I will listen to everything you want to tell me, And I will not turn around and interrupt! I want to hear about the war, how you fought, how in a battle so far away you saved the banner! Tell us about your military friends and grandfather. And in the album yellowed photo show! He smiled at his grandfather's grandson and hugged him to his chest:"I'll tell you all about it, of course, since I promised!" How we survived the war, how we went to our deaths, how many miles we traveled in mud and dust! As the enemy with fights we drove from our native land, we did not give up an inch - we survived, we could!"On February 7, 1943, I was called up by the Shatalovsky RVC to join the red army. He put on a soldier's greatcoat and went to war, to fight for his native land, on which the enemy German foot had set foot. My combat career began in the training battalion of the 169th rifle reserve regiment. After taking the oath on February 23, 1943, he joined the newly formed company for training scouts. We came to the village of Velikaya Pisarevka, Sumy region. Night. About 12 o'clock the captain comes running and says: «Alarm». They formed up and began to withdraw to Belgorod. We came to Tomarovka on March 18. Belgorod was already occupied by enemy tank forces. We then go to Oboyan in the morning. They came to Oboyan, handed over their weapons, ate, spent the night, and went to Prokhorovka. Spent the night - on the Crust. And classes go with us (platoon commanders, departments). From Korcha we reached Stary Oskol.On March 22, 1943, the Kursk bulge was formed. The command was replaced. Vatutin was appointed instead of Golikov, Malinovsky instead of Vatutin, and Talbukhin instead of Malinovsky. After three months of training as a Sergeant, he was sent to a platoon of foot reconnaissance of the 375th regiment of the 219th idritskaya rifle division of the 40th army of the Voronezh front, which took part in the battle of Kursk from 11.07.43. During the battle of Kursk, I remember almost every battle, but you can't describe or tell everything. The summer of 1943 was to be a "moment of truth" for both us and the Nazis. Either the Red Army will be able to finally seize the offensive initiative and defeat the most powerful German group since the beginning of the war, or the enemy will again be able to overturn our troops, as it did two summers in a row, and Moscow will be under threat for the second time during the war. In defense, we stood in front of the New Berezovka Rakityansky district. At the sugar factory in the forest, we were divided into three parts: combined arms, scouts and mortars. I got into a group of scouts. Several times I went on a mission, the purpose of which was to get the language in any way. Once, we managed to capture 8 people of the military guard at once. A rare case! If you tell anyone, they won't believe you! After that, I was put on an observation post in front of Novaya Berezovka. I had to carefully observe everything that was happening around me, register and report the situation to headquarters in the evening. It was necessary to find out what movement the enemy was making as they prepared to attack. On July 5, when the enemy went on the offensive, our division was withdrawn from the defense. A March was made in the direction of Oboyan, and on July 8, the division arrived in the village of Novenkoe in the Ivnyansky district. 3-4km South-West of the village of Novenkoe there is a Thick tract that was occupied by the enemy. The division, transferred to the 6th guards army, took its first battle on July 9. The first fight… Our regiment is ordered to " stand to the death." Bombers appear. They drop bombs on our rear and move on. We managed to destroy one of the enemy planes. At the time of the appearance of the aircraft, German tanks and infantry attacked. At one kilometer, the number of tanks reached a hundred or more. Two walls were moving towards each other. We were supported, as it turned out later, by 14 "Katyushas", which gradually approached our place. They were only beaten with termite, which instantly ignited everything. The first attack was repulsed. After that, about thirty minutes later, the bombers again flew, after which the tanks reappear. A Volley Of "Katyusha". The attack is repulsed. And so four attacks. The order to "withdraw"followed. We, as scouts, went ahead. The enemy conducted continuous offensive battles, but could not advance to Oboyan.After 15 days of continuous fighting, there were 6-8 men left in the companies. But the village, we have New released! In July, 1943, when the Red Army led an offensive in the Kursk-Oryol direction. And now a monument to the soldiers-liberators of our 219th rifle division, who gave their lives for the liberation of the village, has been erected in the Tolstoe tract. On July 26, we were replaced by the troops of the Steppe front, and our division was transferred to the Kalinin front. On September 16, 1943, he was slightly wounded. Recovered quickly. And fight again! My great-grandfather Alexey Dolzhikov was awarded the Order of the red Star for his courage and bravery in the fight against the enemy, for his work in training the platoon personnel, and for the fact that the platoon did not have a single case of violation of discipline during the March. Then there was the 3rd Baltic and last southern group of troops, the Austrian city of Graz.
