Lebedeva, Claudia Nikolaevna
DATE OF BIRTH: 06/10/1923 DATE OF DEATH: 03/31/2015 HISTORY: My great-grandmother, Lebedeva Klavdia Nikolaevna, recently passed away, so the memory of her is fresh. I remember the story about the front and labor path of my great-grandmother from her words. And about my great-grandfathers, told me the documents that my grandmother showed. My great-grandmother, Lebedeva (nee - Rashodova) Klavdia Nikolaevna, was born on June 10, 1923 in the village Filisovo, Sudislavsky district, Kostroma region. She graduated from the school for working youth in the town of Makaryev, Kostroma region - 10 classes. Her parents: Nikolai Alekseevich Rashodov, a blacksmith and Anna Fedorovna Rashodova, a peasant woman, a milkmaid. She was drafted into the army on April 10, 1942. First she served in the city of Ivanovo, in the 38th Separate anti aircraft barralion, Air Defense (Separate Anti-aircraft Artillery Anti-Air Defense Division). She got to the front in the fall of 1943 1 - 2 Belorussian, then - the Western Front. She took part in the battles for the defense of Smolensk, Orsha, and others, and defended against enemy aircraft raids. She had to load anti-aircraft guns with heavy shells, make camouflage so that enemy aircraft would not detect them from the air. They had to restore the connection too. Once he and a friend were looking for a wire break for a long time. It was winter. It got dark. They got lost in the forest and decided to spend the night in a dugout they came across. And when dawn broke, they found themselves sleeping on dead German soldiers. The speed with which they found their unit was many times greater than that with which they walked in the evening. And another time, when the great-grandmother took part in camouflaging the bridge, the bombing began, she was thrown by a blast wave into the river and carried downstream, but she did not know how to swim. The wet overcoat pulled to the bottom, but, luckily, it caught on something, and the soldiers caught the grandmother. And the craving for life and the desire to defeat the enemy was so great that no one got sick with colds. Although she had to lie on the cold and damp ground, in wet clothes. There were also funny stories. Great-grandmother returned from the night shift and lay down to sleep, only throwing off her sheepskin coat and hat and handing over her rifle. Prior to that, her mother had sent her a pair of sweatpants made of tailor fabric, painted red for lack of other paint. The alarm was suddenly announced. The entire division was built, and my grandmother jumped out of sleep in what she was. “Red Army soldier Rashodov,” came the menacing voice of the commander, “three steps forward! Three outfits out of turn for such an outfit! " - "There is! Allow me to do it? " The great-grandmother finished the war in Berlin. She signed at the Reichstag and participated in the first concert in honor of the Victory. She was awarded the Order of the Patriotic War of the 2nd degree, medals "For Military Merit", "For Victory over Germany", there are anniversary medals: "20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 years of Victory in the Second World War", "50, 60, 70 years of the Armed Forces "," 60 and 70 years of the liberation of the Republic of Belarus from the German fascist invaders. " Returning home, Klavdia Nikolaevna met the one who became her future destiny - Alexander Antonovich Lebedev, my great-grandfather, whom, unfortunately, I know only from the stories of my grandmother and great-grandmother. The war found him while serving in the army (he served in the Kremlin). Later he was a security officer in the Office of the Commandant of the Moscow Kremlin, he had to stand guard at the office of I.V. Stalin and other members of the Government. In 1943 he took part in the liquidation of a group that attempted on Mikoyan's life, for which he received the Order of the Red Banner of the Battle from the hands of M. Kalinin. There were attempts on Stalin's life, and more than one, and for the destruction of the enemy he was awarded medals "For Courage", "For Military Merit", and then "For the Defense of Moscow", "For Victory over Germany." In 1944-45 great-grandfather was a student of the Higher School of the NKGB of the USSR, after which he participated in the defeat of the Bandera movement in Western Ukraine. In the state security agencies, he served with junior lieutenant to captain until 1953, when, as a result of the reduction of the KGB, he became a police captain, head of the Ponazyrevsky, Makaryevsky and Sharyinsky regional police departments, head of the Galich pre-trial detention center. He resigned as a lieutenant colonel. "All life is a struggle, we only dream about peace!". Grandmother Klava's older brother also served in the army when the war began. Raskhodov Konstantin Nikolaevich, born in 1917, a native of the village of Filisovo, Sudislavsky district, Kostroma region, drafted into the Soviet Army in September 1938, served in the 10th separate communications battalion stationed then in the Bialystok region. His mother received word that he was missing. But you can't deceive the mother's heart: she never believed that her Kostya died. And she was right. But I'll start from afar. This is what grandmother Klava said: “In April 1942 120 girls-Komsomol volunteers from the village of Krasnoe-on-Volga, Sudislavl, Kostroma were the first to go to the front, and were sent to 38 separate anti-aircraft artillery air defense battalion in Ivanovo. As part of this division, most of our people reached Berlin, were awarded the medal "For the capture of Berlin", many were lucky enough to put their autographs on the walls of the Reichstag.20 years of Victory have passed, the country was preparing for the anniversary. I was eager to know the fate of each, how their daily life was. So the search for fellow soldiers began. The first two meetings (1965 and 1970) were held in Leningrad. In 1975, 1980, 1985, 1990, 1995 and 2000. (after five years) the meetings took place in Kostroma. But the search did not stop. I found 364 veterans of our division. The meetings were attended by 130 - 140 people from many parts of the country (Sverdlovsk, Perm, Omsk, Tambov, Gorky, Dnepropetrovsk, Kiev, Minsk, Moscow, Ivanovo, Leningrad, Yaroslavl, etc.). With what impatience and joy everyone was waiting and preparing for this holiday. " It began with a search for fellow soldiers, but my brother was not forgotten either. My great-grandmother worked as the secretary of the City Council of Veterans. This is where the idea of creating a Book of Memory was born. After the release of the Decree of the Council of Ministers in 1989, they officially started to create the Book of Memory of the city of Kostroma and the Kostroma region. A working group of 8 people was created. My great-grandmother was the executive secretary of the Book of Memory. Many archives were open for use. From the materials of the local state archive, grandmother Klava learned that 03.07.41 in the town Slonim (Poland) her brother was captured and was in the Auschwitz camp. Permanent Camp No. 308 (308 / VIII - E). Prisoner of war number in the German camp is 23125 (23125 - MK). Further, the cards indicate the dates of some movements: delivered - 07/31/1941 delivered - 08/03/1941 arrived - 12/03/1941 arrived - 03/26/1942 This was the last date. The dates of departure from the camp are not indicated in the prisoner of war cards. Reflected his health (healthy), date of vaccination against typhus (25.08.41), his height - 167 cm, hair color - light brown, profession - a radio engineer, name, patronymic and address of parents. Another German card contains his fictitious (changed) surname and patronymic - Konstantin Alekseevich Rostkodov, i.e. patronymic taken from his father (Nikolai Alekseevich). His mother is Anna Fyodorovna Smirnova. So, presumably, the brother could later change the full name, i.e. could become "Smirnov", "Alekseev", "Fedorov". All this gives us reason to believe that the brother survived. Perhaps he was transferred or sold to someone as a laborer or worked in production, and he remained there, fearing to return to his homeland. Such cases are not isolated, there were many of them. My great-grandmother was convinced of this while working on the Regional Book of Memory. It was then that she was admitted to many documents of the state archive. This material was transferred to the state archive from the KGB of the region (department "A" of the Committee of State Security, no. 7689, volume 43, sheets 274-277). So nothing more was found out. Grandma Klava wrote since 1994: to Bialystok, the Polish United Worker’s Party, Voivodship Committee; to the Central Office of the Polish-Soviet Friendship Society, to the writer Pshimanovsky; to the State Archives of the Russian Federation (Moscow, Pirogovskaya St., 17); to the Center for the Storage of Historical and Documentary Collections (Moscow, Vyborgskaya st., 3, building 1); to the Main Directorate of the State Archives (Warsaw, Dugla, 6); in the State Auschwitz Museum; to the Central Museum of Prisoners of War (Lambinovitsy, Minoritov st., 3, 45-017-Opole); in Geneva, Archives of the Central Tracing Agency; to Germany, the International Tracing Service of the International Red Cross (Grosse Allee 5 - 9, 34444 Arolsen). All these inquiries did not yield positive results. But our whole family took an active part in this search. I am proud of my relatives: my great-grandmother Lebedeva, Klavdia Nikolaevna, my great-grandfather Lebedev, Alexander Antonovich, and my great-grandfather, Konstantin Nikolaevich Rashodov. I will follow their example all my life.
