Korneychuk Vladimir Vladimirovich
Vladimir Vladimirovich Korneychuk , a war veteran, began his front line career in 1944 as a pioneer at the front. He was drafted into the army on 7th August. He was trained. In November, at the same time as K. K. Rokossovsky was appointed commander-in-chief of the 2nd Belarusian front, he was sent into combat under his command. The Pioneer Brigade, in which he served, moved westwards and followed the retreating enemy, which was pursued by the Soviet troops. Rokossovsky, who was still under the command of the 1st Belarusian Front, did everything possible and impossible to cross the Vistula. The Vistula trembled and hummed. They blew up the ice and equipped the Ford. Self-propelled guns were transported on pontoons. The German fascist troops withdrew to the Oder River. The Nazis called the Oder "the river of German destiny" and therefore threw large troops here. Along the Western Bank of the river pillboxes made of concrete and steel were built. They were placed in such a way that the entire surface of the water and the bank were bombarded by machine gun pillboxes. Due to the high military skill of the soldiers they crossed the water barrier. Our brigade with pontoon transport vehicles approached the water line at the same time as the advanced command. The transfer of the division across the water line took place at the crossing. The commander of the 2nd Belarusian Front, Konstantin Rokossovsky, wrote: "...we had the opportunity to observe the work of the pioneers. They were working up to their necks in icy water amidst shrapnel and mines, and built a crossing. Every second they were threatened with death, but the people understood their duty as soldiers and thought of one thing: to help their comrades in the West Bank and thus bring victory closer...". We have a good commander who has already been taught by the terrible experience of war. He gave the order in time: "Lie down!" We were lucky, we had no casualties, we approached victory with confidence. Victory! The war is over! We were all happy. Finally they believed firmly that the last war in history was over and that there would never be another war. We drank vodka... Then we were transferred to the Far East, where the war was still going on. We were fully equipped with shovels, grenades and explosives. They were guarding the tunnels and the railroad. They blew up the system of remaining enemy fortifications. He really wanted to go home and hug my brother and sister. Thank God he's back. The peaceful biography of Vladimir Vladimirovich was connected to the construction business for 32 years. Built, created, created, made. He was surrounded by special honor and attention. He has awards. Builders were needed at all times. This work gave hope for stability and faith in the future. He chose this profession because he wanted to see the real result of his work, that people need this result. After the war he found happiness, peace and family. Now a war and work veteran, who is already 87 years old, lives in a private house and has been working in beekeeping for many, many years. One of the reasons is the love for bees, besides, your honey seems to be much tastier. You see, near the house in a small garden in a row are beehives. Above the beehive there is a thick, even and even solemn ringing. In different directions some bees fly away hurriedly and noisily, and others return home heavy, quietly and loaded with nectar and pollen. And the garden in this swarm of bees seems cheerful. Beekeeping is an active recreation. It improves health, strengthens the human body, increases performance. So Vladimir Vladimirovich lives like a worker bee.
