After completing military service, he graduated from the 5th grade of the combine harvester school of the Yaroslavl District of the Yaroslavl Region in 1938. He worked as a combine operator in his native collective farm. In winter 1941 Nikolai Petrovich married Christina Alexandrovna Dubova, but six months later, on June 22, 1941, the Great Patriotic War began. With tears in her eyes, the young woman, who carried a child under her heart, accompanied her husband to the front. Nikolai Petrovich was called for mobilization by the RVC Kostroma on June 23, 1941." Don’t worry, Nikolai reassured his wife, - "it's not for long time, I am coming back for the birth of my son". But the meeting was postponed for long and difficult years, and so he learned about the birth of his first child at the front. His comrades congratulated him on the good news: "Happy birthday to your son, Kolya! With triple fury, the former combine operator beat the enemy, who changed the steering wheel of the combine for the tank levers. Beat for "Beloved Motherland, for the native land"! On his T34 he made daring breakthroughs, crushed the enemy's fire teams with fire and tracks. More than once I got into trouble, slept in the hospital - and again into battle!

But there was one episode he remembered until the last days: The tank unit, in which he acted as driver and knocked out the Germans, took their original positions and prepared for a new offensive. In this sector of the front there was a relative lull. And only a reckless enemy tank platoon with the fire of its guns caused much trouble. It was invisible. It appeared like a ghost, bombed our positions - and disappeared. And so the command gave the order to destroy this unfortunate tanker train. A tank led by Nikolai Petrovich was also sent to investigate. Machine gunners were attached to the armor of the tank. When approaching the station of the brave, the enemy encountered heavy fire. An armored train slowly rolled out of the station in clouds of steam, with its muzzles moving. A battle followed. With precise fire, the armored cars turned the railway tracks, reducing the maneuverability of the armored train. He flailed around like a hunted animal. The artillery duel continued. Paratroopers took up defensive positions along the railway line. Nikolai does not remember the outcome of the battle. An armor-piercing grenade smashed the armor of the tank and injured the driver badly. The armored cars hardly managed to pull Nikolai out of the burning tank when the grenades inside the tank started to explode. Only in the medical unit he learned that the combat mission was successful, the tank train was destroyed. For this achievement he was awarded the Order of the Red Star!

Boikov Ivan Ivanovich - my great-grandfather. He is a submariner. 76 years later he came back from the war! I am proud of him! Essay by Zakhar Belousov, a student of the 3rd "B" class of the school №12 in Rzhev. In 2018 a very interesting, amazing and touching story happened to our family. One day my mother read an article about the "Reconnaissance and Diving Team" looking for relatives of the deceased Red Navy submarine Ivan Ivanovich Boikov, born in 1917, which was born in the Tver region in the Rzhevsky district in the village of Ligostaevo in the village of Medvedevsky. The documents were found on the submarine "Shch-405" sunk during the Great Patriotic War (photo "Pike-405" before the last campaign is attached). The submarine was found by search engines during the annual search expedition "Bow to the ships of great Victory". Search engines were able to find the names of 39 dead crew members. One of them turned out to be my great-grandmother's brother, an elderly Red Navy man, electrician Ivan Ivanovich Boikov. Great-grandmother Nina told my father the life story of her brother, but she did not know where and how Ivan Ivanovich died. Ivan Ivanovich was born in 1917 in the village of Ligostaevo, Rzhevsky district. After graduating from high school, he entered a sports school and after graduating he worked as a sports teacher at the Medvedev School. In 1938 he joined the army and was assigned to the Baltic Fleet. He completed the courses for submarine electricians and was assigned as an electrician to the submarine "L-2" (Stalinets), but in the night of 14-15 November 1941 the boat was blown up by three ground mines and sank. All but three of the crew members were killed. Among the fled submariners was my great-grandfather Ivan Ivanovich Boikov. After he had been treated in hospital, he returned to the Red Army and was assigned to the submarine "Shch-405". The whole first winter of 1941 the boat stood in the besieged Leningrad and was transferred to Kronstadt on June 8. 13 June 1942 - the day of death of the legendary "Pike". On the crossing from Kronstadt to the island Lavensari (today Mighty) the submarine was lost off the island Seskar in the Gulf of Finland. This was the second and last time the submarine set sail. At nightfall on 12 June 1942, the submarine moved on the surface. In the night of 13 June 1942, it passed the island of Cescar but did not reach Lavensari. On June 15, 4 miles west of Seskar, patrol boats found the bodies of three submarine crew members in the water, including Crew Commander Grachev I. V. An aerial search for the ship revealed the presence of a large oil spill 3 miles northwest of Nagaev Bank, where the Germans had laid a minefield. The ship was blown up at the outermost mine of this barrier, if they had gone a little to the left, my great-grandfather could have survived. The submarine was torn in half. The boat is at a depth of 50 meters, at the bottom of the Baltic Sea. The legendary Shch-405 was discovered on April 28, 2018. The entire crew was considered missing after the connection to the submarine was lost. Therefore the family did not know where Ivan Ivanovich Boikov had died. His mother and older sister continued to live in the village of Legostaeva. They are buried in the cemetery in Medvedevo. House in the village Legostaeva, where he lived, my good great-grandfather, unfortunately not preserved! Only thanks to the work of search engines we know the exact place of death of Ivan Ivanovich Boykov. I am proud that my family had such brave and courageous people! This story will become the main page of our family's life. Zakhar Belousov.

Kalajokov Hamid Mazhidovich was born on 30 December 1921. After graduating from school he entered the courses for veterinary paramedics at the agricultural school in Nalchik, graduated in 1937 before being called up for active military service, and worked as a veterinary paramedic in Sarmakovo and Kamennomostskoye. On April 20, 1941 he was called up for military service by the draft board Zola Nagorny and was assigned as a corporal to the 216th rifle division, which was located at Western Ukraine near the city Vladimir-Volynsk. In the early morning of 22 June 1941, the soldiers of Artillery Regiment 512 were awakened by the bombing and shelling of our borders along the state border from the Baltic Sea to the Black Sea. Our country was hit by the military power Nazi Germany as a part of the 190 Division with 5.5 million soldiers and officers, 14 thousand guns and mortars, 4.5 thousand tanks and about 4.5 thousand airplanes. Having accepted an unequal battle, our troops were forced to retreat. Hamid Magidovich took part in the defensive battles in Kiev, Odessa. He took part in the battles for the liberation of North Caucasus. The brave warrior took part in the battles to overcome the German fortified area, the "Blue Line". As part of the 2nd Ukrainian Front he took part in the liberation of Ukraine, Moldova, Romania and Bulgaria. Here is an episode from the rich life of a war veteran at the front. During the liberation of North Caucasus our troops reached the line of defense, which the Germans called the "Blue Line", the hope of the fascist army in the Caucasus. Our corps has stabilized its line of defense and I, the commander of the reconnaissance platoon of the separate battery of the Artillery Corps Command, was assigned the artillery reconnaissance. In order to identify enemy firing points before the decisive offensive, a group of two hundred volunteers was formed with the task of identifying enemy strongholds. This task was successfully completed, but it cost us an expensive and impossible loss. Of the two hundred fighters who took part in this operation, only seven fighters reached our positions. A map with detailed markings of all enemy firing points was handed over to headquarters. For this achievement, all of them were given awards. To the Order of the Red Banner of Battle. I consider my entry into the ranks of the Bolshevik Party Union Communist a famous event of this wartime. The recommendation was given to me by the regimental commander, and he will be remembered. On May 18, 1943 he was admitted to our native Leninist party. As a result of the spring-summer offensive of the central front units near the town of Kursk, the front line took on the shape of an arch. The battle that took place in this area went down in history as the Battle of Kursk. It lasted exactly 50 days. The Nazis' plans were as follows: to defeat the troops of the central and Voronezh fronts, followed by access to Moscow. Hitler's Germany still hoped to conquer the capital of our motherland. On the part of the Germans this battle was a kind of revenge for the defeat at Stalingrad. The Battle of Stalingrad lasted from June 1942 to February 2, 1943, and the result of the battle is the encirclement and annihilation of the sixth German field army under the command of Feld Marshal Paulus. 330,000 German soldiers and officers were encircled. Of these 91,000 were captured, including 2,400 officers, 24 generals and Feld Marshal Paulus itself. The rest were destroyed in bloody battles. This event was the beginning of a radical change in the course of not only the Patriotic War but also the Second World War as a whole. In the early morning of July 5, 1943, two hours before the expected German offensive, a devastating fire from all kinds of guns and mortars of the Katyusha Guard was opened on their positions. As the battery commander Vasily Petrovich Ivashchenko remembered, by the way, he was a compatriot of my father's, from the village of Zolskaya in the Kirov district of the Stavropol area. The German advance was delayed for several hours by the shelling. Then the attack on our positions from German Tank began. In this battle the battery commander was badly wounded, and when he woke up in the infirmary he was told that Kalashokov Hamid had carried him from the battlefield. In order to save the life of the battery commander, the command Kalazhokov handed Hamid over to the command of the red flag of the battle. But the handing over to the command was lost in the headquarters and he never received it. The victorious victory at Kursk was of great importance. A fundamental turning point in the course of the entire war was accomplished. With the liberation of the towns of Orel and Belgorod and the defeat of the German troops on the central rocky outcrop, this grandiose battle came to an end. After this event, the Germans were not in a position to conduct serious offensive operations until the end of the war. Then my father took part in the liberation of Crimea and Odessa. The advanced units that liberated Odessa saved the famous house Odessa Opera, which was prepared for the explosion. By the end of the summer of 1944, our troops had completely liberated the entire territory of USSR and reached the state border, liberated Romania, Bulgaria and Slovakia and reached the borders of Hungary. At that time Hungary remained Germany's only ally, and the other satellite states of Germany withdrew from the war. During the liberation of Hungary fierce battles were fought, especially in the area of Lake Balaton and where large German forces and fortified areas were concentrated. Here my father was seriously wounded in the course of these battles, and here are the vicissitudes of fate, he was carried off the battlefield by his compatriot Vasily Petrovich together with a keeper. After a long period of treatment he was released and returned home in early 1946. After the war, the compatriots did not forget each other and met often. Every year, on 9 May, they celebrated the Day of Victory, commemorating the fighting friends of the living and the dead. After a short illness he died on 31 July 2000, and the military merits of this brave warrior were highly appreciated. He was decorated with two orders of the Patriotic War. The Order with the red banner and two medals "for bravery", two medals for" Military Merit", a medal for the defense of Odessa, the Caucasus, for the conquest of Budapest," for the victory over Germany in the Great Patriotic War 1941-1945 " and numerous commemorative medals.

The Red Army soldier did not know when he loaded the last tape into the machine gun that I was coming right here. He did not know when he reached for his last grenade that I would stand there and look where he was looking. He did not know me, but he hoped... what I would do. Who was he? Stingy stories about my grandmother, even rarer black and white photos - they are with the whole family, they are with friends for the New Year 1939. His last photo was taken in 1940. Young Lance Sergeant of the 212th Flying Brigade of the 3rd Air Corps. And I look into those eyes in the photo. As in the sight of his machine gun - who are you, my offspring? Are you there? Are you alive? Because I did everything I could to keep you alive. I wanted you to live. I believed I had someone to die for. Zhulyany. The village. And the garden. The apple garden. "In the orchard among the apples, a pear tree grows. We were under it. Lenka and I. And then the Germans came. When everyone had already left, we were covered by an explosion. I do not remember how they pulled us out..." That's the whole feat. Not enough to say, but too much to do. To take the last step, the last shot, the last heroic act. "He was taken away in an ambulance train... I know nothing more about his fate." The train that took you nowhere. Missing in action. For long, hard thirty-eight years - questions, pleas, letters, answers. And finally from the Ministry of Defense of USSR comes an answer from the archive of military medical documents: "Soldier", /position and part not specified, year of birth not specified / Cadet Leonid Nikolaevich received /date not specified/ multiple shrapnel wound in the chest, penetrating the left thigh, lower leg, feet and left forearm. On August 13, 1941, a body from a military ambulance train was handed over for autopsy to EG -1754. The place of burial is not indicated. EG -1754 was at the indicated time in Barvenkovo, Kharkiv region". March 20, 1979. He came back from this war. He returned with the medal "for the defense of Kiev". I stand in the middle of the garden by this very old pear tree, damaged by the explosion and time, but still bearing fruit, and look out into the field. And then I remember the words of an old veteran: "And then the Germans left". And the sky throws a fiery inferno on me, roaring with engines. But that is just my imagination. Am I alive? I am dying. And every year. On May 9th I come and die on this very spot. To keep you alive.

Rank: Red Army. Type of troops: Ground Forces, Air Force (except for naval aviation), coastal service, NKVD troops, border troops. Subdivision: 30th Guards Rifle Riga Red Banner Division. Kashirin Konstantin Petrovich was born in Astrakhan, Stalingrad region (in military pass - Stalingrad). His mother died and his father was killed by a cable on the ship on which he was captain. At that time Constantine was 6 years old when his aunt - his father's sister - brought him to Stalingrad. He finished the first grade of primary school in 1917. He graduated as an electrician. The pre-war life is not known. In the Red Army he was drafted on June 26, 1941 by the RVC tractor factory of Stalingrad as a telephonist of the rifle regiment of the 98th Guard, the 30th rifle division of the Guard with red banner. The 30th Red Banner Rifle Division of the Riga Guard was a military unit of USSR in the Great Patriotic War. It goes back to the 238th Red Banner Rifle Division, which was transformed into the 30th Guard Rifle Division for its military services in the Battle of Moscow on May 24, 1942. On April 21, 1942, after months of uninterrupted fighting on the Yugra River near Yukhnov, the 238th Rifle Division was transferred 6-8 km from the front line to the reserve of the 49th Guard Division on April 3, 1942. On May 3, 1942, the division was awarded the Order of the Red Flag for his heroism in the fighting against the Nazi invaders by decree of the Presidium of Supreme Soviet of USSR and the division commander, Colonel G. P. Korotkov was awarded the rank of Major General. Three weeks later another good news came: by order of the People's Commissar for Defense of USSR on 25 May 1942, the 238th Rifle Division was transformed into the 30th Guard. It consisted of the rifle regiments 94, 96 and 98 of the Guard. The division was commanded by: Colonel Kirillov Maxim Gavrilovich (11.05.1942 - 15.05.1942), was arrested on 14 July 1942 and shot as traitor to the fatherland for the defeat at Smolensk in accordance with article 58-1 "B" of the Criminal Code of the RSFSR; - Kuleshov Andrey Danilovich (21.05.1942-17.01.1944), Colonel, from 27.11.1942 - Major General; - Isaev Mikhail Alexandrovich (18.01.1944-05.11.1944), Colonel, from 03.06.1944 - Major General; - Fadeikin Ivan Anisimovich (06.11.1944-16.02.1945), Lieutenant Colonel; - Isaev Mikhail Aleksandrovich (17.02.1945-09.05.1945), Major General 98th Guard SP: - Degtyarev Alexey Dmitrievich (23.04.1942-28.12.1942); - Komarov Nikolay Alekseevich (28.12.1942-30.01.1943); - Degtyarev Alexey Dmitrievich (30.01.1943-15.11.1943); - Fadeikin Ivan Anisimovich (18.10.1943-31.08.1944); - Kolodyazhny Ivan Kalistratovich (04.04.1944-18.04.1944); - Vlasov Nikolay Nikolaevich (11.11.1944-15.11.1945); - Myznikov Ivan Ivanovich (22.11.1945-15.05.1946). In August 1942 the 30th Guard Rifle Division was transferred to the 33rd Army with the task of leading an offensive in the direction of Rzhev. At that time the division numbered about 11 thousand people. The division fought in the bloody battles of Rshev and Yelnya in the Pskov region and crossed the Western Dvina. About the heroic actions of the Red Army soldier Koshirin K.P. say his awards: on December 04, 1942 he was awarded the Order of the Red Star № 64081. "In the period from April 20, 1943 to April 27, 1943, Konstantin Petrovich Kashirin, a Red Army soldier connected with the headquarters of the Guard Regiment, despite heavy machine-gun and mortar fire by the enemy, always handed over the orders of the command to the advanced units in time and exactly. He fulfilled his duties conscientiously and accurately. "By order № 5 of April 28, 1943 he was awarded the Medal" for military merit " № 27708". By the order № 027/n of August 16, 1943 the Red Army soldier K.P. Kashmirin was awarded the Medal" for bravery № 16344. The award is dated 12 January 1945. From the award list of August 14, 1943: "As liaison officer of the Battalion Commander, Kashirin ensured the timely and rapid transmission of orders of the Battalion Commander to the Unit Commanders as well as the delivery of reports. During the attack Kashirin marched in the infantry combat units and broke into the German trenches together with them, handing over valuable enemy documents to the battalion headquarters.

Until 23 March 1944 he was in hospital for treatment of injuries and was discharged on that day due to illness. In 1945 he married Elena Romanova, a native of Stalingrad, born in 1920. After he refused an apartment on Mira Street in the city center, they built their house on Dar-Gora. They could not have kids Because of the wound of Konstantin Petrovich, so they took a little girl from the baby's house and adopted her. According to the stories of his daughter, he had to shoot a Soviet officer who, in front of her young children, crossed the line of what was permissible and abused a woman. For this case, Kashirin was sent to the penal battalion. During the war, Konstantin Petrovich had eight wounds, including light, heavy and 4 contusions. He returned from the war as an invalid with a splinter under his heart and a switch in his groin. He was mentally disturbed, but always remained an honest and decent person. Kashirin Konstantin Petrovich was a very hardworking man, who devoted himself to work as an electrician of the 7th generation. He died on 14 April 1969 from the consequences of his wounds.

Rank: Red Army soldier. Type of troops: Ground Forces, Air Force (except Naval Aviation), Coast Guard, NKVD Troops, Border Guard. I would like to tell you the story of my veteran who did not fight on the battlefield in the active army, but worked hard and survived in German captivity. I do not think it is necessary to prove his well-deserved place in the immortal regiment. It was not possible to gather a great deal of information, because during his lifetime it was very difficult to "extract" information from his grandfather - he could not even share a part of what he went through during the war years with his children or grandchildren. Or perhaps, as with many who were "Eastern workers" or who were in a Nazi concentration camp and then managed to survive and return home, it was frightening and impossible to talk about their stay in Germany, so they could simply stay at home rather than in a new camp on the Arctic Circle. The picture is slightly restored from fragmentary data: a lost memory, a story that suddenly appears, or facts known to mutual friends and relatives. My grandfather was taken to forced labor around the summer of 1942. The year can be restored because he was not yet 18 years old at that time, he was considered a minor prisoner according to the documents. In Germany he was held on the territory of a concentration camp, at least it was mentioned that they lived in barracks behind barbed wire in the camp. He worked both on the railway and in agriculture. I remember very well a story I heard about him as a child. They were gathering a harvest in the potato fields, which Ivan thought was excellent - he did not remember potatoes that big in his collective farm! The size of the tubers impressed the imagination of the young Ivan so much - 8 potatoes filled a whole bucket! After collecting the largest potatoes, he dragged them to the kitchen where they were to be cooked (which is hard to say, for the workers or the German staff). The overseer saw his grandfather's "catch", knocked the bucket out of his hands and loosened it roughly with whatever came into his hands. Tears of resentment and lack of understanding for what had happened probably caused the German to condescend and he "explained" what the punishment was for - he grabbed a potato, broke it on his knee and showed that it was empty inside and unsuitable for eating. It may be an insignificant story, but it gave us an idea of life "there". He gave no details: where, how - no names. In the camp he learned to speak German - not just individual sentences, but he had a good command of the spoken language. Probably youth + natural intelligence helped. He remembered German all his life, although he did not use it anywhere else. He could translate by ear. My grandfather had an amazing quality that instilled holy reverence in us grandchildren - when he was "on a spree" after the rural holidays of our days, he was sad, withdrawn and spoke only in German - very volatile and coherent - as if he was communicating with an invisible interlocutor. When he was sober he never told us what and with whom these conversations were. He did not take part in military operations, did not receive any awards. He survived only one concentration camp. They were released in 1945 and managed to return to their home village. After the war he was immediately transferred to the army, where he served for 5 years (!) according to post-war standards. He served in Georgia, Abkhazia, Kislovodsk, near Moscow. The Avatar photo was taken in Kuntsevo in 1948. There were no less terrible troubled years - hunger, cold, constant exercises, marches, transfers. He has already told us about the years of the army. Grandfather Ivan - our family hero, was always a model of decency, patience and example!

Bazykin Sergey Stepanovich was born on October 8, 1902 in the village of Temnikovo in the county Razinsky, Moscow district, Moscow Province (today the territory of the Balashikha district). His older brother was involved in the revolution of 1905. Sergey Stepanovich was one of the first Komsomol members in his community, one of the organizers (and according to some sources also the chairman) the village council. He served in the Red Army somewhere in Siberia, in special units (CHON). Member of the CPSU (b) / CPSU since 1925. For some time he worked as an authorized representative in the anti-criminal committees of the Balashikha district (documents have not been preserved). Among the party members he aimed at improving education and skills on the job. After completing his training, he was appointed first as an employee and then as director of the tourist photo factory. Over time, the factory was transformed into a tourist equipment factory of the Tourist and Excursion Department all Union Central Council of the trade unions (TEU vtssps). Before the war, the factory supplied all the necessary equipment, especially for polar expeditions and other scientific expeditions (tents, sleeping bags, sports shoes, backpacks, ice axes, etc.) At the beginning of the war, men from his factory went to the front, but did not reach the front line because production in the factory was stopped due to the lack of an experienced manager and men who built machines. During the war, the factory was set up to produce primarily large tarpaulin tents for the factory and the military hospital to house the wounded, the military uniforms. The factory was located in a barrack position. There were times, especially in early 1941, when the factory workers (90% of them women) did not go home, they slept for several hours directly at the machines - and almost all of them had children at home. Before 1945 Sergey Bazykin visited his family three or four times. He walked from Serpukhovka to Obiralovka station (today the town of Zheleznodoroshny) 25 kilometers on foot, as the railway worked only for the needs of the front. One of the visits home was a reward for being wounded in the head while rescuing the workshops and equipment of the factory during the Nazi air raid on Moscow. After the war Sergey Stepanovich Bazykin worked in the same factory almost until retirement and before retirement - in the departments of all Union Central Council of the trade unions (vtssps). After retirement - a personal pensioner of republican significance Excellent: - with the Order of the Red Star for exemplary performance of governmental duties (Decree of the Presidium of Supreme Soviet of USSR of 12 June 1945 No. 1372893), - with the Medal "For the Defense of Moscow" (No. 002473 of 1. Medal "For Valiant Work in the Great Patriotic War 1941-1945" (August 3, 1946), Medal "For Valiant Work" (1947), Medal "In Memory of the 800th Anniversary of Moscow" (No. 776285 of March 12, 1948), - Medal "For Valiant Work. In memory of the 100th anniversary of V.I. Lenin's birth" (April 1, 1970), - certificates of honor, diplomas and awards of various levels. He died on July 6, 1997.

Military Branch: Land Forces, Air Force (except Naval Aviation), Coastal Service, NKWD Troops, Border Guard - writes great-granddaughter- Derevyankina Ksenia Yuryevna. My great-grandfather, Kurtin Mitrofan Romanovich was born on 30 May 1917 in the Amur region, Gribskoye village, and died in June 1992, serving in the Soviet Army from March 1938 to January 1962. The total length of service in the Soviet Army was more than 25 years. Including in the active army from 19 November 1943 to 3 September 1945. During the war he was a driver and drove an anti-tank gun, which was very large, and also was a driver of the regiment commander. They destroyed many tanks during the war, for which my great-grandfather was awarded many times. One day planes flew in and there was no place to hide in the field. Great-grandfather hid, lay down behind the steering wheel and covered his head with his hands, at that moment a bomb exploded nearby and a splinter hit his hand, if he had not covered his head with his hands, the splinter would have hit his head. The doctors wanted to remove the fragment and could not remove it. So he lived with them for the rest of his life. Once they were driving a car that was carrying a cannon and a guard commander, they stopped and got out of the car to see where the Germans were, German planes flew in and bombed the car and the cannon, but he and the commander survived. Great-grandfather took part in the crossing of Siwash, in the icy salt water the soldiers had to lie still for several hours so that the Germans would not discover their presence, for a sudden attack. My great-grandfather and all the soldiers were freezing in the cold water, but they did not let to discover their presence and defeated the Germans. In the salt water of Sivosh, my great-grandfather saw the bodies of the soldiers who had died in the Civil War. When they attacked the Germans in Russia, it was very cold and hungry. And when they went on the offensive, they liberated the territories conquered by the Germans, and life became more satisfying and the spirit rose. When they reached the territory of Germany at that time, the Japanese attacked China, and the part of the great-grandfather's body was loaded into wagons with all the military weapons that had been sent to the Far East to fight the Japanese. Echelons with troops marched day and night without interruption to the East. They were given a green road everywhere so that they could help China defeat the Japanese. Russia declared war on Japan in September 1945. When great-grandfather arrived in the winter of 1943 it was a bitter winter at the front, even when he slept in the trenches or shelters so as not to freeze his feet, even when asleep he knocked on his leg, this habit of self-preservation remained with him for five years after the war. At night he slept in a house bed, and his feet continued to tap his feet out of habit. My great-grandfather did not like to talk about the war, the stories were not big and sparse. After the war, my great-grandfather continued to serve in the Far East and protected the borders of our homeland until January 1962, serving in Sovgavan and on the Dry River. During his service my grandfather served in the Navy aviation and prepared the pilots for flying supersonic jet aircraft.
