PATRONITY: Yakovlevich CITY: village Skomovo, Ivanovo region DATE OF BIRTH: 02/27/1941 DATE OF DEATH: - HISTORY: At the beginning of the 19th century, in the village of Skomovo, Turabievskaya volost, Yuryevsky district, Vladimir province, foreman Anisim Petrovich Nikonov lived, who, together with other residents, took an active part in construction of a village church. Anisim, being the son-in-law of Osip Kartsev, became the ancestor of the Anisimov branch, to which my great-grandfather Mikhail Yakovlevich Anisimov, the son of Yakov Vasilyevich Anisimov and Varvara Mikhailovna Filin, belongs. Many of the Anisimov family drew very well, therefore they were hereditary icon painters, and the people had the nickname "Bogomazy". The Anisimovs were prosperous peasants, had about 12 thoroughbred sheep, as well as horses from the Gavrilovo-Posad stud farm. We were migrant workers, that is, we went to work at weaving factories in Yuryev-Polsky, and in the season cultivated the land in order to feed a large family. Since the beginning of the 30s, the family of my great-great-grandfather, Yakov Vasilyevich, son of Vasily Kuzmich Anisimov, was dispossessed ... His wife, my great-great-grandmother Varvara Mikhailovna, was exiled to Siberia as an "enemy of the people" because she saved the temple icons, which they began to burn ... My great-grandfather, although he studied already in the 1920s, received his secondary education according to the old "tsarist" system, having finished 7 classes, about which there was stamped paper. After dispossession of kulaks, Yakov Vasilievich moved to Ivanovo in the Sortirovka area, and his son Mikhail left for Moscow and entered an art school. After completing the first year, he has to leave, as ill-wishers reported that his great-grandfather was the son of a kulak! It was 1937, in May Mikhail Yakovlevich leaves for Vladivostok. From December 7 to December 31, the course "Red directors of the fishing industry" took place. On Sakhalin, my great-grandfather Misha met my great-grandmother Pugach Kilina (Faina) Nikiforovna, who came from a family of Zaporozhye Cossacks. When he saw her, he immediately announced that she would be his wife and let no one touch her! On September 17 of the same year, their wedding took place in the village of Pilvo, Shirokopadsky district. This is how the son of a dispossessed peasant, an "enemy of the people", and the daughter of an ardent Ukrainian revolutionary came together. Mikhail Yakovlevich became a fisherman, later the deputy director of the fish factory for the economic part. In 1938 he became the director of a fish factory in the village of Pogibi (Sakhalin Island). In the same year, his first daughter Anna was born, and three years later, on January 17, his daughter Tamara was born. According to the stories of a relative, even before the war, my great-grandfather traveled all over Sakhalin, including the southern, Japanese, part, dealing with issues of fishing. Supervised fishing vessels, which, in case of war, were supposed to go to the military department and provide for the needs of the front. In August 1941 he was drafted into the ranks of the Red Army. According to the stories of relatives, Faya's great-grandmother recalled that one day, around 1942, he was given a vacation and he came home. Mikhail became very emaciated and his wife tried in every possible way to fatten him up. He went through the entire war and ended it in Japan. He was awarded the medal "For Victory over Japan" and a commendation from the Supreme Commander-in-Chief for distinction in the battles against the Japanese imperialists! After the war, in 1946, he took over as director of the Uglegorsk Fish Factory in Lesogorsk (Sakhalin Island). In the same year, the first son Anatoly was born, and in 1949 the second son Alexander was born. Three years later, the youngest son Arkady will be born. In 1950 the whole family moved to Ivanovo. Here, in order to feed his family, he worked in different places: in 1952 he worked at a sawmill, in 1959 he was a carpenter at a w / concrete plant, was a foreman, a production foreman, an engineer. After a quick departure from Sakhalin, my great-grandfather was afraid to occupy high positions, for the rest of his life he was not let go of the thought that he would suddenly have to flee again. Now he was not alone, he had a large family with him. For his high productivity, conscientious attitude to work and active participation, he was awarded a large number of awards and gratitude to his great-grandfather. He was a very kind and gentle person, attracted different people to himself, someone betrayed him, someone helped. And those who helped him were always more. In Ivanovo, my great-grandfather built a large house and started a large farm. I used to make felt boots and do carpentry.
