Full name: Prokhorov George Grigorievich last NAME: Prokhorov NAME: George middle name: G. CITY: D. Casino-tyukalinsk district of Omsk region DATE of BIRTH: 19.01.1923 DATE of DEATH: - HISTORY: Prokhorov George G. was born 19 January 1923 in the village Casino tyukalinsk district of Omsk region. On June 5, 1941, as an 18-year-old boy, he was drafted into the army. He began his military service in the city of Omsk in the military infantry school in a rifle company as a cadet, where the Great Patriotic war found him. His way of fighting Prokhorov G. G. he began in September 1941 in the rifle division as the commander of the anti-tank rifle calculation. In December 1941, he participated in the counteroffensive near Moscow, in which on December 17 he received his first wound, which, fortunately, turned out to be light. Later, Georgy Prokhorov took part in a defensive battle, as well as in a counteroffensive and encirclement of a group of German-fascist troops near Stalingrad, where he was seriously wounded on September 17, 1942. After prolonged treatment in January 1943, Prokhorov was sent to a training regiment in the school of foremen, and in November 1943, he was again at the front. From December 1944, Sergeant Prokhorov participated in the battles to capture the Russian pass and liberate the territory of Hungary and Austria, for which he was awarded the medals "for the capture of Budapest" and "for the capture of Vienna". I know from my grandfather's stories that in Austria he captured a German officer with two briefcases, one containing documents and the other containing jewelry, and all the trophies were taken to headquarters. However, for Prokhorov, the celebration of The victory over Germany on may 9, 1945 was short-lived. After the end of military operations in the West, he was transferred to the East as part of another unit and took part in the defeat of imperialist Japan. During the great Patriotic war, my grandfather was awarded two orders (world war II class and the red star) and three medals ("for the capture of Vienna", "for the capture of Budapest" and "for the Victory over Germany in the great Patriotic war of 1941-1945"). After the end of the war, Sergeant Prokhorov continued his military service in China and only in 1948 was discharged from the army. He returned home, got married,and had two sons. For a long time, my grandfather worked as an accountant on a collective farm in the village of Stary Koshkul in the Tyukalinsky district of the Omsk region. In may 1996, after a long illness, he died. I found some award lists. So, in the award list for the grandfather with the description of his military merits it is specified: "Comrade Prokhorov during his service in the 206th red banner rifle regiment showed examples of courage and bravery. In the battles with the German invaders for the capture of the village of Pandorf, comrade Prokhorov personally visited the battle formations of the rifle divisions, and encouraged them to heroic deeds. In the battles for the mastery of the village of Negligent comrade Prokhorov personally led the soldiers to storm the enemy trenches, and had brilliant success." Our family archive still contains my grandfather's red army book, his orders and medals. We keep them as the Apple of our eye, because they are a family heirloom and an eternal memory of our heroic ancestor. As Boris Likharev wrote in his poems: "Your distant grandson will take the hero's medal with reverence. From generation to generation, it will pass to descendants."

Graduated from the 7 classes. As a seventeen-year-old boy, he was drafted into the army in 1943. In the house of pioneers, there were circles where I studied auto business. The army took into account that I was a little familiar with technology, so I was sent to the Penza region, the village of Bessonovka, to the 5th automobile training regiment. There I also began to study cars. When our troops were already in Ukraine, our battalion was assigned there, in the city of Romny. They settled in the barracks of the German fascists. In March 1944, we were sent to the city of Naro-Fominsk, near Moscow. We received new equipment from America - an American M15 armored personnel carrier. Loaded into echelons in early April 1945. We arrived in Germany, unloaded, and the Germans bombed us there. Many died. The equipment was out of order; this armored personnel carrier was expensive. It had three barrels: a cannon and two large-caliber machine guns-the planes were fired at. Then they send me to Moscow to save my equipment. There I got a new car, where there were already 4 large-caliber machine guns hitting one point, the gun was no longer there. America delivered these armored personnel carriers to us via Iran. Just before the end of the war, around may 1, we were loaded into the train, and we went again. We thought about going back to the front, didn't say anything, kept everything a secret. We reach Irkutsk on may 9, when our commanders told us that we were going to the East. They arrived in Chita when Stalin and Churchill decided to go against Japan, which was the aggressor.

Full name: Prikhodchenko Yegor Fedotovich last NAME: Prikhodchenko FIRST name: Yegor PATRONYMIC: Fedotovich CITY: - date of BIRTH: 01.01.1917 DATE of DEATH: 01.01.1997 HISTORY: Yegor Fedotovich Prikhodchenko shares with us memories of the great Patriotic war. First of all, this is the pain of loss: a brother was killed, 20 million of our Soviet people were killed. The hardships of military life... "Will you understand, young people, how difficult, sometimes unbearably difficult it was for us? Here, in the war, there was no time to sleep, no time to eat: we had to do the most important thing-to protect our Homeland." A middle-aged, modest man is sitting in front of me, excitedly telling me: "in 1945, near the city of Velikiye Luki, I was wounded. He was in the hospital for six months. I learned about our Victory in the hospital. Jubilation and tears!» I ask Yegor Fedotovich to show his military awards. They are laid out decorously in front of me. And Yegor Fedotovich, smiling, shows the medal "for bravery". "Would you like me to tell you how I got this award?» And anticipating something unusual, I listen. "My squad was sent to investigate in an armored personnel carrier. It was necessary to find out whether there were fascists in the neighboring village and in what direction they were concentrating their forces. As we drive, we see an enemy b / t standing on the road. Well, I think that's it! Stop. I order the guys to cover me with fire if anything happens, and I go to the German car, I approach – quietly. I think it might have been booby-trapped and left for bait. I looked inside – no mines. I wanted to go back, but it was a pity to throw such a force on the road. Our b/t was bad, the Nazis had good cars. We moved to a German b / t, went to the German location. And the soldiers on duty greet us. We drove through the village, drew a plan for the location of enemy points, and only when we left the village, the Germans realized that they had made a mistake, opened fire, but it was too late. We arrived at our unit, and I went to report to Colonel Melnikov on the results of the reconnaissance. He praised us, and I said: "you, comrade Colonel, as you wish, but I exchanged my car for a German one," and told him everything. He smiled: "well Done, soldier!» For this intelligence, I was awarded the medal "for bravery". Our conversation is over.

Full name: Pavlov Boris Alexandrovich last NAME: Pavlov first NAME: Boris PATRONYMIC: Alexandrovich CITY: Gavrilov-Yam DATE of BIRTH: 19.07.1924 DATE of DEATH: 18.06.1997 HISTORY: Boris Alexandrovich was born in Gavrilov-Yam, Yaroslavl region. At the end of the 9th grade, he volunteered for the 243rd Communist division, which was being formed in Yaroslavl. On July 16, 1941, the division was sent to the front. Arriving in the city of Selizharovo, the division made a difficult March from there through Andreapol, Toropets, Staraya Toropa and reached the Sevastyanov area on the Zap river by July 27. Dvina. Despite the lack of combat experience, the division successfully conducted defensive battles with two regiments. Yaroslavl crossed the Western Dvina river and shot down the enemy from their position. At the same time, on another sector of the front, one regiment of this division fought bloody battles with large enemy units, preventing them from crossing and ensuring the regrouping of troops. Here, apparently, our grandfather, then a very young fighter, and made his first feat (helped to establish an interrupted connection), for which he was presented to the award. Soon he was sent to the school of artillery ensigns. There is already in the rank of second Lieutenant, he returned to the front. He fought on the Ukrainian front. As the commander of a fire platoon of the 109th guards army cannon artillery Dneprodzerzhinsk regiment, he was presented to the order of the red star. We know almost nothing about his military life: my grandfather never spoke about the horrors of war, or it did not remain in our childhood memory. After the death of my grandfather, we found some award documents and learned about his exploits: "during the operation to capture the city of Krivoy Rog, acting skillfully and courageously, the fire of his guns knocked out one self-propelled gun of the enemy. 10.02.1944 G. In the Emme area, he successfully repelled a counterattack by enemy infantry and tanks. 19.02.1944 G. Destroyed 3 machine-gun points and suppressed the fire of one 105 mm battery. 20.02.1944 suppressed a 105 mm battery near the Chervonnaya station and ensured the successful advance of our infantry.Pavlov in any conditions of battle is not lost and acts decisively." On the front-line photos of that time, Boris Alexandrovich really looks like a hero: cheerful, with a Kuban cap twisted over one ear, with a curly forelock, surrounded by comrades. Handsome! And after all, he was lucky: during the entire war, he was not injured, only a shrapnel damaged his finger on his hand, and he did not fully unbend. True, he was shell-shocked, but that's nothing. He returned to his hometown unharmed, unlike his older brother, who was missing on the fronts of that terrible war. He returned late at night, and the mother, who accompanied the schoolboy to the front, did not recognize the male voice of her son, was afraid and did not open the door for a long time. My grandfather remembered this incident with a smile: "If it wasn't for my sister, I would have to spend the night on the street." Boris Pavlov was awarded the medals "for the defense of Stalingrad"," for the capture of Budapest"," for military merit", two orders of the" Patriotic war", the order of the"red Star". After the war, he entered the Ivanovo technical school of physical culture, received a teacher's diploma and ... went to the army. Again, he changed the type of troops: he served in the Baltic fleet. Since then, a beautiful officer's jacket, a white cap, a glittering gold Dirk. In the photos of those years, a handsome man stands next to an elegant little woman and holds a beautiful daughter in his arms. My grandfather met my wife in Gavrilov-Yam, they lived in the neighboring streets. Maria Semyonovna Maranova worked in peat processing during the war, then graduated from the courses of history teachers, and was awarded the medal for valiant labor during the war. After getting married, she traveled with her husband to the garrisons for several years. Boris Alexandrovich left the reserve with the rank of captain, returned to his hometown and became a teacher at secondary school No. 1, from which he left for the front in 1941. For many years, he conducted physical education classes and basic military training. The school's website says about it: "Its time is the time of the games "Zarnitsa" and "Orlyonok", the time of military sports holidays and marches. The latter are revived in the school. The February holiday "Sons of the Fatherland" in secondary school No. 1 in Gavrilov-Yam is named the evening of memory of Boris Pavlov." I found my grandfather working at the school and saw that he was respected and loved. It could interest both boys and girls. The school's teams under his leadership often won competitions and games. Our family archive contains many photos of my grandfather surrounded by students during such events. He prepared high school students to carry a guard of honor at the monument to teachers and students of the first school on the eve of may 9, he was invited to hold a solemn parade on Sovetskaya square and other sports events in the city. My grandfather was also invited to class hours dedicated to the great Patriotic war. In a formal tunic, chest in orders, Boris Alexandrovich looked like a real hero, but instead of telling stories about his exploits, he always joked, recalled jokes, called dry numbers. Many boys, on his advice, entered military universities after school... And he taught us, his three granddaughters, to sport and discipline. I've read a lot all my life, and we have a whole library at home from him. We were proud of our grandfather, the hero, when he was in the full uniform of a naval officer, flashing orders in the spring sun, minted a step in the ranks of veterans at the Victory parade, or gave commands to students who were on guard at the monument to teachers and students who died during the war. We love it and are proud of it now. Every year we participate in the campaign "Immortal regiment", we remember Boris Alexandrovich, we cherish his awards (2 velvet scarlet pads with orders and medals), his Dirk, his cap and shoulder straps… We miss you, grandpa. Too bad your great-grandson didn't catch you. It has a lot of your energy and love for sports. You would have found a common language. For us, the may 9 holiday is a memory of a close and dear person and the pain of loss
