KUDRYASHOV (24.5.1923-21.9.1983), born in the Ilinka district of the Ikryaninsky district of the Astrakhan region, Russian, b/p. Called up to the ranks of the red army in 2.1942 Ikryaninsky RVC Astrakhan ROC. Stalingrad region. Title-red army soldier, position-sapper. He served in the 249th OSB (separate sapper battalion) and in the 130th aoib – AIB) - an army separate engineer battalion. The commander of the last battalion: captain (1943), major (1944) - A. Staferov. According to the list of active troops of the red army No. 27 (sections 1 and 2), the active army had: 1) 249 OSB SWF (22.6 - 7.11.1941); 2) 130 OIB (10.9.1942 – 24.5.1944) and 130 separate engineering and engineering battalion (24.5 - 5.9.1944 and 30.10.1944–9.5.1945). the 249th OSB was part of the 134th rifle division of the SWF. The division of this formation was in the active army from 2.7 to 27.12.1941. There is an opinion that the division had another-242nd OSB (separate sapper battalion) (but it operated from 10.6.1944 to 11.5.1945). On 1.7.1941, the 134th SD (rifle division) was part of the 25th SK (rifle corps) 19A in the reserve of the VGK Headquarters. At the end of 6.1941, the 25th SK was transferred to the southwestern front FROM Stalino (now Donetsk) to the Kiev region, and then to the Zapf in the Smolensk region to take up defense along the Severnaya Dvina river near Vitebsk and Surozh-Vitebsk from 10 to 20.7.1941. the 134th SD (!) was located in the area of Prudniki village on both sides of the river. The commander of the 25th SK surrendered to the Germans, and the corps headquarters fled, leaving the troops without control. By 1.11 1941, the remaining units from the 25th SK were already part of the 30A KDF, the army was fighting in an encirclement. After leaving the encirclement, the 134th SD passed the second formation and fought from 14.2.1942 to 28.3.1944 as part of the 4uda (4.1942), 41A (7-10.1942) on the Kalinin Front and then on other fronts (16.4.1944 – 9.5.1945; in 9.1943, the 134th SD (!!) was assigned the name "Verdinskaya"). Perhaps Kudryashev I. G after the draft in 2.1942 got into this division and served in it until 10.1942. It is only known for certain that the 130th aoib (OIB) was part of the 28A (!!!) from 10 to 12.1942 on Stalingrad. The army participated in the defense of Stalingrad on the Astrakhan - Kizlyar line. Award lists confirm that I. G. Kudryashev participated in the 28a combat operations from 10.1942 (or from 7.11.1942). And from 1 to 11.1943-also in 28A(!!!) on the South front (!!)

In the period from 9.1943 to 3.1944, both armies participated in the Melitopol and Nikopol - Krivoy Rog offensive operations, in the defeat of the enemy in the right-Bank Ukraine (2nd blow), in the Bereznegovato - Snegirev offensive operation. For exemplary performance of combat tasks of the command and the valor and courage shown in the " Melitopol operation (breakthrough on the Molochnaya river)", from 26.9 to 5.11.1943), he was awarded the order of the RED STAR (order to troops 28 A (!!!) No. 64 / n of 20.10.1943-item 9). The feat was performed from 1 to 2.10.1943. Red army soldier Kudryashev with a group of sapper - scouts penetrated the enemy's rear for mining (6 min YAM-5) of the Tikhonovka - Novo-Fedorovka road (now Zaporozhye region). Ukraine, between the localities of Dalekoe and Tavrida), where transport and tanks plied. As a result, one tank was blown up. Near Tikhonovka stood 416-I SD 37 SK, journal of military operations of the southern Federal district from 1.9 to 1.10. 1944). Previously, he did not have any awards. the 130th AIB in 5-3ukrf participated in operation " 3rd strike. Defeat of the Odessa enemy group and German-Romanian troops in the Crimea and near Odessa" (from 1.4 to 31.5.1944). For the valor and courage shown in the fighting of this operation, I. G. Kudryashev was awarded the order of the PATRIOTIC WAR of the 2nd degree (order to the troops of the 5th and 3rd CCRF No. 62/n of 17.6.1944-item 2). The feat was performed on 17.5.1944 and from 20 to 21.5.1944. So, on 17.5, in a short time, under the incessant fire and bombing of the enemy, he equipped a shelter and built an observation post for the commander of the 34th guards SK (guards rifle corps) 6A 3ukrf near the village of Koshnitsa (now Moldova, Dubossary district) and here he took up the defense. Repulsed the attack of German machine gunners, killing one German. The next attack by German paratroopers on a Panther tank was repelled by two bundles of thrown grenades and bursts from a machine gun. Thus, Kudryashev ensured the withdrawal of our fighters to a new position. In the night from 20 to 21.5 when breaking through the ring of the German encirclement, he was in the front ranks and his courage and bravery carried away the rest of the fighters. Rapid advance provided a breakthrough of the German defense, which allowed 48 soldiers to withdraw without losses to a new frontier, journal of military operations 5 (for 5.1944, p. 77). in 6.1944, the unit where Kudryashev served became known as the 130th Odessa AIB. I haven't received any injuries or contusions so far. It must be assumed that Kudryashev I. G. continued his combat path in 5 years. Since 24.5.1944, the 130th Odessa AIB has been participating in the 5-day battles as part of the 61st isbr (!!) (engineering and sapper brigade). This brigade was re-formed from the 52nd OIB on 12.11.1942 and was in the active army from 15.12.1942-25.5.1943 (I) and from 24.5.1944 to 9.5.1945 (II), according to the list of troops No. 27. Further, on 5 July, the 3rd CCRF participated in the defeat of German – Romanian troops in the Kishinev – Iasi area, in the Iasi – Kishinev offensive operation (7 blow).

Based on the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR of 9.5.1945 and the order of the 61st engineer-sapper of the Kishinev red banner order of Kutuzov 2nd class of the brigade " corporal Ivan G. Kudryashov, beginning radio station 130 HMB " awarded the medal "for the VICTORY OVER GERMANY in the GREAT PATRIOTIC WAR of 1941-1945" (list of 250 people). based on the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR of 9.6.1945 and the order of the 61st HMB, 483 people were awarded the medal "for the CAPTURE of BERLIN" (but there is no Kudryashov in the list). But in the photo of 1947 Kudryashev has these two medals – the second and third. The first medal in the photo is most likely "for the DEFENSE of STALINGRAD". Does the title and position of "beginning radiost" raise a question? Awards and certificates were lost in the 1990s. The end of the last name is written in documents with the "o", then with the "e". After the War, he worked at the oil depot No. 6. his Father-Grigory, mother-Maria, both originally from s. Il'inka. He was buried in the Ilinka district of Ikryaninsky district.
