Lyashenko Vladimir Yakovlevich
PLACE OF BIRTH: Krasnokutsk village, Kharkiv region. DATE OF BIRTH: 15.07.1910. DATE OF DEATH: 11.01.1980. HISTORY: Rank: First Lieutenant. Corps: aviation. My father Lyashenko Vladimir Yakovlevich was born in a large family of a worker who worked for many years for the Kharkiv landowner - sugar manufacturer Kharitonenko. After graduating from Krasnokutskaya school, my father was engaged in organizing collective farms on the territory of the Krasnokutsky district of the Kharkiv region. In 1935 he was sent to study at the Chuguev military aviation school for fighter pilots. He mastered IL-2 fighter planes and other military equipment. After graduating from school in 1937, he was sent to Saltsy, Leningrad region, for military service and strengthening the country's defense capability. In 1938, my father's first daughter Nina was born. The war found my father there in Saltsy near Leningrad. The enemy was advancing rapidly and there was a threat of capturing Leningrad. Then the command decides to strengthen the Leningrad front with new equipment, in particular with new fighters, and sends my father to head a group of fighter pilots to the Far East in Khabarovsk to receive new fighters. They traveled by rail and the path turned out to be very far, especially since events on the fronts were developing rapidly, the enemy was moving deeper into the country. The train in which the pilots were traveling was delayed at stations, because it was necessary to pass trains with military cargo and soldiers towards the front. Then the command decides to send the pilots with fighters from the Khabarovsk garrison to Leningrad, and the to leave pilots who went to Khabarovsk for new fighters for service and strengthen the local garrisons in the Far East. So my father got to the Far East and guarded the Eastern borders of our homeland. He served in Belonogova, Khabarovsk region, Belogorsk, Yelizovo, Kamchatka. He was the commander of a fighter squadron and performed reconnaissance and defensive flights on long-range lines. In 1945, when the Germans were defeated in the West, fighting came to the East. My father bravely and courageously destroyed the Japanese soldiers and, very quickly, the war in the Far East was over. The strongest Kwantung army of Japan threw out a white flag.
