Denisov Ivan Ilyich_x000D_ _x000D_ At home with my great-grandmother Raisa Nazarkina, I found a book Of memory of the city of Velikiye Luki and the Velikiye Luki district, in which the 147th page was rolled up. When I opened it, I found this entry: "Denisov Ivan Ilyich, Jr. Sergeant, b. 1924, Velikoluksky district, Maryinsky district, Vedernikovo village, died in battle on January 24, 1945, zakhor. Kaliningrad region of the RSFSR, g. Polessk, area." My mother told me that this Ivan Ilyich was my great-grandmother's brother. My great-grandmother, unfortunately, doesn't remember much about my brother. By the beginning of the war, she was only 8 years old. And now she's old and doesn't remember much. I only remembered that in early 1970, she, along with her mother, sister and two brothers, went to the grave of her brother in the city of Polessk. In the family album, I managed to find two photos taken during that trip. We now know that Ivan Ilyich Denisov is buried in a mass grave. It turns out that this grave appeared as a result of serious fighting. 600 Soviet soldiers are buried in it. In the post-war period, the remains of soldiers were moved here from mass graves located in the vicinity of the city of Polessk. The name of my great-uncle Ivan Ilyich Denisov is also immortalized on the memorial plate of this monument. Even on the Internet, we found photocopies of reports about the irretrievable losses of the 319th Dvina rifle division of the red banner twice. Ivan Denisov served in this division. The document is now in the Central archive of the Ministry of defense. I learned from the report that Ivan Ilyich was called up for service at the age of 18 by the Velikiye Luki district military Commissariat on February 22, 1942. By the beginning of 1945, he had reached the rank of Junior Sergeant and joined the ranks of the CPSU (b). He was a rifle platoon of foot intelligence. From January 13 to April 25, 1945, the 319th Dvina rifle division took part in the East Prussian operation. During this operation, Soviet troops broke through the strong defenses of the German army group Center, reached the Baltic sea and eliminated the main enemy forces, occupying East Prussia and liberating the Northern part of Poland. It was in these bloody battles that 20-year-old Sergeant Ivan Denisov, my great-grandmother's brother, died. He just barely lived to Win…These days on the website of the Ministry of defense "Feat of the people" we found additional information about our hero. It turns out that in the first days of service, Ivan worked as a postman of the detachment. He was constantly delivering correspondence. But he certainly wanted to participate in battles. His presentation for the award says: "At the time of the fighting for the liberation of d. Red army soldier Denisov voluntarily joined a group of scouts, where he showed bravery and bravery. When capturing a prisoner, the red army soldier Denisov was the first to attack the Nazi, while disarming him. In the battles with the German invaders, the red army man was twice wounded. I request to be awarded the medal of military merit. This is not Ivan's last award. In 1944, he became a member of the VKPB. (p / b # 5578347). Denisov I. I. participated in the battles for the Hill, Velikiye Luki, in the nevelskaya opperation. In January 1945, Ivan Denisov was killed. He was posthumously presented to the order of the "Patriotic war I degree". The presentation says:" in the battle for the city of Alabiau - East Prussia 24.1.45 scout Denisov showed samples of courage and bravery to destroy the Hitlerite robbers. In one of the basements of the house sat the Germans. Comrade Denisov broke into the basement and shot 26 German occupiers. Only the 27th slew a glorious warrior." We are proud of our hero.

He left for the Great Patriotic war in August 1941 and was called up by the Yartsevsky RVC of the Krasnoyarsk territory. As Sergey Ivanovich himself recalled: "A barge was going along the Yenisei river-from the village of Yartsevo to the city of Kazachinsk, they collected all those who were liable for military service along the way and took them to Krasnoyarsk. They were taken from Krasnoyarsk to Murmansk. From there, they were already sent to the Karelian front, to the border with Norway and Finland." Sergey Ivanovich told how hard it was at the beginning of the war: "We were given one rifle for five people, and after the cartridges ran out, the rifle was used as a stick." In a battle on April 14, 1942, he was wounded in the leg. After treatment in the hospital, he served as a scout Rifleman in the 148th separate reconnaissance company in the 114th Svir rifle division.

Dolgopolov Alexander Ivanovich_x000D_ _x000D_ Rank: Red army soldier. Division: 310th Novgorod rifle order of Lenin red banner division. Alexander Ivanovich Dolgopolov was born in the village of Troitskaya, Krasnodar territory, on February 13, 1917. In the 30s, he was exiled to Siberia, where he was among the first to found the village of Sibirsky. He left for the war in August 1942 and went to the Volkhov front, where he was a machine gunner. The authorities immediately noticed a capable soldier, a born hunter-tracker, and identified him as a scout. Soon the scout Dolgopolov went on his first search-to identify enemy firing points. How many successful and unsuccessful searches there were later! Sometimes, after several incredibly difficult days, they did not deliver the "language" that was urgently needed at the headquarters, but brought their wounded or killed comrade. At this time, the Wehrmacht troops closed the ring around Leningrad and tried to capture it as soon as possible. The fascists attacked continuously. My grandfather said that the artillery preparation was replaced by the roar of tank engines, the hum of dive planes, but he did not know then how the next brutal battle ended, the wound forced him to go to the medical unit. And he had four injuries: on March 16, 1943, a light shoulder wound, on January 16, 1944, a light head wound, and on may 10, 1944, a chest wound. He liberated Novgorod, the Leningrad and Pskov regions, and Latvia After the last fourth, a wound received on June 31, 1944 in Latvia, his grandfather was treated for a long time in the Omsk hospital. After recovering, in March 1945, he entered the Vladimir tank school with the rank of Sergeant. He graduated as a mechanic driver of the T-34 tank. He ended the war in the Baltic States. May 9, 1945! For my grandfather, this was a particularly memorable day — he was to be discharged as having received "three or more wounds". And now the wheels of the echelon are rattling, taking grandfather Sasha, "an Excellent scout,"home. "Excellent machine gunner", on his tunic - the order of Glory of the III degree, medals: "for bravery", "for the victory over Germany". Later he was awarded many jubilee medals. He returned to Sibirsky, was a foreman of the vegetable growing brigade, a senior agronomist. Old residents of the village still remember its huge cabbages. For more than a quarter of a century, he worked honestly and conscientiously on the state farm. Already in 1972, when my grandfather was going to leave for a well-deserved rest, he got a job at the X-Mansi fish factory as a fisherman. In eleven years, I caught about a hundred tons of fish. To combat awards were added labor: the order of the red banner of Labor and the jubilee medal for the 100th anniversary of the birth of V. I. Lenin. In addition, more than a dozen certificates of honor were awarded at various times. The name of my grandfather is listed in the Book of Honor of Sibrevkoma and Labor glory of the Ministry of fisheries of the Russian Federation. Central Committee of the trade Union of food industry workers, he was awarded the title "five-year Guardsman". Together with his wife Lukerya Prokopyevna, who worked all her life on a state farm, Alexander Ivanovich raised and raised eight children. After retiring, his worries did not decrease-the economy, granddaughters… Although I have never seen my great-grandfather, I can be proud of him, because during his difficult life, he fulfilled his duty to the Motherland, the people and his family.

Periodically, the Germans launched flares, directly at the entrance to the perimeter of the fence were attached cans on tripwires, at a height of about 50-70 cm, which served as a kind of alarm – if a fighter stumbled over them, the neighborhood would certainly resound with a loud ringing of cans. Sappers with clippers cut a passage through the wire fence, after which the scouts approached directly to the object. They blew up objects with f-1 grenades. After the first explosions, alerts sounded-the Fritz and raised the panic. A group of our scouts began to retreat to their own.

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.

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.
