Ivanov Petr Vladimirovich
On the fronts of the Great Patriotic War, my father, Semyon Vladimirovich Ivanov, fought, as well as his brothers: Peter, Ilya, Georgy. Ilya died a heroic death in the Baltic on October 17, 1944, and we only recently learned about the fate of Peter (he also fought in the Soviet-Finnish war). For many years, to all inquiries from his relatives about his fate from the military registration and enlistment office and the state archive, they answered sparingly: "Ivanov P.V. is not included in the lists of those killed, missing and died from wounds." And in the late 1980s, a letter came from Belarus, from which we learned about the fate of Uncle Peter. Search pioneers reported that during the construction of the Dubniki-Cherven road in May 1987, the remains of 23 Soviet soldiers were found. They found four soldier's medallions with names. One of the four faceted capsules inadvertently tried to open, but the paper, fragile from time to time, crumbled into dust before our eyes. With the help of criminologists, who were contacted by the recruiting officers, it was possible to read the notes in the three remaining capsules-medallions. One of the medallions read: “Ivanov Pyotr Vladimirovich, Red Army soldier, Chkalovsk region, Pavlovsky district, village Novo-Dmitrievka ". The schoolchildren - the pathfinders of the group "Search" of the Wielkopolska secondary school of the Cherven district of the Minsk region, as a result of the search and questioning of eyewitnesses, established that in August 1941, near the village of Dubok, the Nazis drove a column of prisoners of war. When the column approached the rye field, the prisoners fled. The guards opened fire, so not all daredevils managed to escape. Many died during the escape. The inhabitants of the village secretly buried the dead without placing any sign on the grave for the sake of safety. So their remains lay in the ground for over 40 years. Relatives could not learn anything about the fate of loved ones, until chance and painstaking work of enthusiastic search engines helped to establish the truth. But neither father nor mother (my grandfather Vladimir Filippovich and grandmother Malanya Filippovna Ivanov) never learned anything about the fate of Peter's eldest son. Didn't live through ...
