Afanasov Alexander Ivanovich
DATE OF BIRTH: 09/18/1923 DATE OF DEATH: 09/16/2000 HISTORY: Title: Red Navy soldier. Type of troops: the USSR Navy and the Naval Forces of the NKVD border troops. Subdivision: 54th Mazurian Infantry Order of Lenin Red Banner Order of Kutuzov Division. Dad was born in the Arkhangelsk region in the village. Yarensk. He worked on a collective farm as a tractor driver, at the age of 16 he went to the front, adding 2 years to himself, since he was a stocky and strong-willed person. He stood out sharply among his peers. He was muscular and fit. He went all the way - starting with his studies in Solovki (training detachment of the Northern Fleet) and finished his military career in Berlin. How many injuries were there? How many hospitals were there? And each time a new appointment, new comrades. The war left its mark - until the end of his life he wore a splinter in his left hand. The bullet almost touched the heart, passed a centimeter from the heart. And the legs - they also suffered. What work did the doctors do to keep him on his feet. Honor and praise to them! After the war, he worked in the Internal Affairs Directorate of the Arkhangelsk Region as a district police officer and grew up to a police lieutenant colonel. That still work - from the detective to the inspector. And he was in the ambush and took part in the pursuit. This is what caused damage to health. Cancer quietly crept up. There were not enough stars from the sky. And on shoulder straps too. You were not a general. Well, but for us - maybe. Fifty years have passed since that damned war. Gone - there was dawn of youth, returned - all patched up. You have never asked for benefits or privileges in your life. He worked tirelessly, like in a race. He was modest, quiet. Always ready to help. But life is water. If he rushes away, you cannot catch up. The disease was mowing down a terrible, I was strong with all my heart. I could not hand to hand with her. And he left with courage. Peace and the blue sky, where you sleep - another star will forever shine over Russia! E.S. Ganyukhina (from relatives).
