Heroes and feats

Rank: Senior sergeant. Branch of military: Artillery. Division: 52nd rifle division (1st formation). We have long been searching for the burial place of our grandfather, Ilya Petrovich Karpov, who died near Rzhev in 1942. He is one of the 30 million Soviet people who gave the most precious thing he had - his life, for our great Motherland. His fate, like a spikelet, in a huge field of human destinies, burned in a terrible fire, already far away, the great Patriotic war. Just as the bitter smoke of a burnt-out grain field hurts our eyes, so the stories of ordinary people who did not have time to live, have and raise their children tear our memory and our souls. Many of the facts of their biographies are hidden from us for many years, but what we know about them should be kept as a relic, as a piece of history, from which the entire history of Russia is sewn. Ilya was born in 1916 on the farm Pustoshka, Maksatikhinsky district of the Tver region, not far from village Vorotilovo, in a large peasant family. From an early age, he helped my parents as much as he could, and he knew how sore my hands were. Ilya was a good student at school, especially good at math. In 1937, it was time to go to the Red Army, and as one of the most literate, he was called up to the artillery. The Soviet-Finnish War began. Since November 30, 1939, gunner Ilya Petrovich Karpov, like other soldiers of the Red Army, bravely fought the enemy on the Karelian isthmus. Staunchly endured all the hardships and hardships of the "Finnish" campaign. Shortly before the end of the "winter" war, on February 13, 1940, he was taken to hospital, wounded and seriously contused. Then he returned home to be treated. Despite his poor health, Ilya became actively involved in the difficult life of the village. He built a house for his elder sister with his own hands. He became a little stronger and went to the city of Kalinin and got a job at a Car factory. He mastered the profession of a welder, but he managed to work at the factory quite a bit: on June 13, 1941, the Zavolzhsky RVC Kalinin was again called up to the red army. A few days later, a terrible disaster struck our Homeland: Nazi Germany treacherously attacked the Soviet Union. Only fragmentary information has reached us about the further fate of Ilya Petrovich. Served in various fronts honestly and bravely. In the terrible confusion and chaos of the War, only a few messages from him were able to reach his mother. In one of them it was told that their division was on formation in Kolomna and soon goes to the front. In the last letter, which came in 1942, Ilya said goodbye to his family and said that there were terrible battles under the city of Moscow. Rzhev, and if the following letter didn’t come come, let them not consider him alive. There were no more letters from him… Only official notification came that Ilya Petrovich Karpov had gone missing in May 1942. After the War, a colleague of his son wrote to his mother and told her that Ilya had died in a terrible battle and was buried in an unmarked mass grave on the outskirts of a small village in the Smolensk direction. Ilya's mother, Matrena, was denied a pension by the state for the loss of her son. Until her last days, her mother tried to find the grave where her Ilya was lying. We repeatedly applied to different authorities, but in vain...Representatives of the Zavolzhsky RVC Kalinina in 1953 came to ask his mother about what they had heard about his son… Did he show up after the war... they took all his son's letters… In the recently opened archives, an award list was found for Ilya Petrovich Karpov. It says that during the fighting in the area of the city of Rzhev... in August, 1942... years ago, Karpov's team destroyed an anti-tank gun, smashed 2 Bunkers, suppressed 4 machine-gun points of the Nazis, destroyed 2 trucks with infantry and 2 guns, as well as at least a platoon of Nazis. For this example of skill, bravery and initiative, the commander of the gun batteries of 76 mm guns of the 439th rifle regiment of the 52nd rifle division, senior Sergeant Ilya Karpov, was awarded the order of the Red Star. We were able to find data that since August 5, the 52nd rifle division, led fierce battles for the capture of the village of Galakhovo in the Rzhevsky district of the Kalinin region. In the fighting, only for 5-7 August, it lost 1615 people killed and wounded. By 8.08.1942, 9 active bayonets remained in the 439 village where Ilya Petrovich served... It was not possible to find out whether Ilya Petrovich survived those battles…Most of the dead soldiers, according to eyewitnesses, lie in Galakhovo itself and under the sawmill in Galakhovo, and under the present Obraztsovo. I really want to believe that there will be a grave in which, together with his comrades, Ilya Petrovich Karpov found his last shelter. There will be a place to bow your head in memory of him and other fallen defenders of the Motherland, lay a bouquet. Heroes do not die - they are alive as long as we remember them, who gave their lives so that we and the next generations could live. Ilya Petrovich Karpov died young, he did not have time to enjoy life, create his own family, and could not enjoy his children... He didn't have time for many things...But after putting his life at the age of 26 on the great Victory over the hated enemy, he didn't disappear without a trace!

Rank: Second Lieutenant. Branch of military: Army, Air Forces (except naval aviation), Coast Guards, the troops of the NKVD, Border Guards. Division: 75th cavalry division. My GRANDFATHER, Leonid KIBARDIN, ascended Khan Tengri peak on August 24, 1936. He was 24 years old. I managed to get married before the war. Wife-Bagaeva Anna Aleksandrovna. In 1939, their son Yuri was born. When the war began, he took his wife and son to their relatives and went to defend the Motherland. He fought in the Guards Cavalry corps of General Belov division 75th , part 3797, was an assistant to the commander of the machine-gun squadron of ml. Lieutenant Rubts And. M. in his last letter on January 04, 1942, reported that they were leaving for Smolensk. Missing in action. 75 CD was formed in September-October 1941 in Novosibirsk (Siberian military district). The connection was formed as part of the implementation of the decree of the state budget of the USSR No. 459 SS of 11.08.1941 [1]. The division's relocation to the Soviet-German front began in November 1941. By the Directive of the VGK Bid No. 4299 of 02.11.1941, it was relocated from Novosibirsk to Glotovka; by the VGK Bid Directive of 24.11.1941, it was relocated from Kolyshlei to the area of Laskovo station, Solodcha. The division entered the active army on 05.12.1941. During the war, the division constantly operated on the Western front and took part in the offensive phase of the Battle of Moscow. As part of the 10th army, she participated in the Tula offensive operation (06-17.12.1941). Then the division took part in the Belev-Kozel operation (20.12.1941-05.01.1942) and in the Mozhaisk-Vyazma offensive operation of the Western front (10.01–28.02.1942). The unit was disbanded on 26.03.1942 and turned to the gathering of the 2nd Guards Cavalry division. Fighting structure:• 230th cavalry regiment • 234th cavalry regiment • 237th cavalry regiment • 72nd horse artillery division • 72nd artillery Park • 55th separate semi-communication squadron • 47th medical and sanitary squadron • 75th separate chemical protection squadron • 56th food transport • 270th divisional veterinary infirmary • 258th field postal station • 1003rd field cash register of the state Bank commanders• Vasily Koninsky, Colonel-from 20.09 to 08.12.1941 • Moskalik Mikhail Emmanuilovich, Colonel - from 08.12.1941 to 26.03.1942 75 CD in January 1942 was thrown at the breakthrough at Vyazma as part of the 1st guards cavalry corps, which fought in the Belov group. In March 1942, from 75 CD already remained crumbs and what was left of the division, went to the staffing of the 1st and 2nd Guards Cavalry divisions. Belov's corps fought in the encirclement until June 1942, along with partisan detachments that captured the city of Dorogobush. In Mosolsk was about 2 thousand wounded, who were in 22 PPG and were subsequently distributed to villages. In the reports of irretrievable losses of the 1st GW. KKO losses of 75 CD were nothing about him. I found only 5-10 people from Novosibirsk on medical clinics and that's it. Still in Belov's group there were 114,115,116,117,118 ski battalions. Perhaps many of the fighters remained in the partisan detachments of Zhabo, Grachev and others.

Rank: Red Army soldier. Branch of military: Army, Air Forces (except naval aviation), Coast Guards, the troops of the NKVD, Border Guards. Division: 2nd Moscow rifle division of the people's militia (Stalinsky district). He was born in a large peasant family. Communist. Participated in the civil war. From the first days after the establishment of Soviet power, he worked where the party directed. Worked in Yegoryevsk and Shatura districts and Zaraysk. In Zaraysk, he was, as they would say now, a hospital administrator. In 1927, he came to Moscow with his family and worked first in Metrostroy, then in the Kalinin Executive Committee. The family settled down to live in the working town named after Bauman (Izmailovsky island) in a rented apartment, occupying a "corner" in a large room with huge ceilings, in the building of the Northern soldiers ' corps, the former Nikolaev hospital for veterans of the War of 1812. The family of the often inebriated owner also lived in the same room. The wall of the "corner" being removed, adjacent to the Pokrovsky Cathedral, was wet, and in winter it froze. Before the war the family moved to an unpretentious wooden house on Mochalski (now St Ibragimov) street. Grandfather had already fixed it: replaced the rotted floors, made a pile around the house, covering it with slag. The family had four children by this time. In June 1941 Dmitry Fyodorovich was in his fortieth year, and was not subject to conscription in the first days of the war. But like many, he wanted to protect his Homeland. The War was not a complete surprise to him. Thinking people have sensed its approach for a long time. The working day was lengthened, it was forbidden to change the place of work, and other toughening of labor legislation was introduced. Dmitry Fyodorovich told his wife that war is inevitable and will be "not for life, but to the death." As soon as the call to the people's militia was announced (July 3, 1941), my grandfather immediately enlisted as a volunteer and was mobilized on July 9, 1941. My grandfather's friend Kosarev (unfortunately, my mother does not remember his name and patronymic) served in the same division and often went to Moscow (the militia were supplied with food from Moscow warehouses). With it, my grandfather could send infrequent messages to his family. In one of them, he reported that they were located near Mozhaisk. And my grandmother did not hesitate, taking her daughter with her. I went to visit my Mitya. It was the end of August 1941. We got to the meeting place for more than a day, changing trains. Civilian trains passed military trains. Leaving early in the morning, they did not reach the place until the evening of the following day. As my mother recalls, they were standing with my grandmother at the edge of the forest, and columns of soldiers were walking past them. And mom suddenly saw her father walking to the right of the column, and rushed to him. It was a miracle to find him among the mass of soldiers. My father told them to wait for him here in the forest, and by nightfall he came to them. Dmitry Fyodorovich lit a fire and built a hut out of branches for his daughter. Tired of the long ride and waiting, Rosa fell asleep, while Dmitry Fyodorovich (Mitya) and Pelageya Andreyevna (Lelya) sat by the fire all night. At dawn, the service was waiting for him, and his wife and daughter had a hard road back to Moscow. This was their last meeting Grandfather went missing in October 1941 in the battle of Vyazma. In the last letter of September 14, 1941 (Active army, division 929, ORB), he congratulated his son Vladimir on his birthday, wrote that he was alive and well and that "they have not smelled gunpowder yet". (Maybe this phrase was to calm the family) Unfortunately, the letter was not saved. But I remember this worn piece of paper that my grandmother kept. Dmitry Fyodorovich's eldest son, Vladimir (born in 1925), graduated from the artillery school in 1943 and ended the war as a commander of a mortar platoon in December 1945 in Hungary. Daughter Rosa - my mother, from the age of 14, worked at the Moscow factory No. 67, collecting grenades and shells, was awarded the medal "for valiant labor in the second world war 1941-1945", the medal " 800 years. Moscow", Anniversary medals.

The division of this formation was in the active army from 2.7 to 27.12.1941. There is an opinion that the division had another-242nd OSB (separate sapper battalion) (but it operated from 10.6.1944 to 11.5.1945). On 1.7.1941, the 134th SD (rifle division) was part of the 25th SK (rifle corps) 19A in the reserve of the VGK Headquarters.

It is only known for certain that the 130th aoib (OIB) was part of the 28A (!!!) from 10 to 12.1942 on Stalingrad. The army participated in the defense of Stalingrad on the Astrakhan - Kizlyar line. Award lists confirm that I. G. Kudryashev participated in the 28a combat operations from 10.1942 (or from 7.11.1942). And from 1 to 11.1943-also in 28A(!!!) on the South front (!!)

No. 64 / n of 20.10.1943-item 9). The feat was performed from 1 to 2.10.1943. Red army soldier Kudryashev with a group of sapper - scouts penetrated the enemy's rear for mining (6 min YAM-5) of the Tikhonovka - Novo-Fedorovka road (now Zaporozhye region).

Near Tikhonovka stood 416-I SD 37 SK, journal of military operations of the southern Federal district from 1.9 to 1.10. 1944). Previously, he did not have any awards. the 130th AIB in 5-3ukrf participated in operation " 3rd strike. Defeat of the Odessa enemy group and German-Romanian troops in the Crimea and near Odessa" (from 1.4 to 31.5.1944). For the valor and courage shown in the fighting of this operation, I. G. Kudryashev was awarded the order of the PATRIOTIC WAR of the 2nd degree (order to the troops of the 5th and 3rd CCRF No. 62/n of 17.6.1944-item 2).

Repulsed the attack of German machine gunners, killing one German. The next attack by German paratroopers on a Panther tank was repelled by two bundles of thrown grenades and bursts from a machine gun. Thus, Kudryashev ensured the withdrawal of our fighters to a new position. In the night from 20 to 21.5 when breaking through the ring of the German encirclement, he was in the front ranks and his courage and bravery carried away the rest of the fighters.

I haven't received any injuries or contusions so far. It must be assumed that Kudryashev I. G. continued his combat path in 5 years. Since 24.5.1944, the 130th Odessa AIB has been participating in the 5-day battles as part of the 61st isbr (!!) (engineering and sapper brigade). This brigade was re-formed from the 52nd OIB on 12.11.1942 and was in the active army from 15.12.1942-25.5.1943 (I) and from 24.5.1944 to 9.5.1945 (II), according to the list of troops No. 27.

But in the photo of 1947 Kudryashev has these two medals – the second and third. The first medal in the photo is most likely "for the DEFENSE of STALINGRAD". Does the title and position of "beginning radiost" raise a question? Awards and certificates were lost in the 1990s. The end of the last name is written in documents with the "o", then with the "e".

Boris Kachan is well known in the Borisov Region. On the facade of the secondary school No. 8 in Borisov there is a memorial plaque with the name of B. Kachan and his colleagues in the anti-fascist struggle. The school Museum "History of the school in the history of the country" contains the memories of Boris's father and his wife, and the stand "military hard times" shows: "Boris Kachan. Since 1942-scout of the "Uncle Koli" brigade. In February 1944, he was killed while performing a combat mission. The Borisov Museum of local lore also has an exhibition about the development of the underground and partisan movement in the Borisov region. There is also a sculpture group by A. Kroholev "partisans-scouts", which embodies the images of two comrades, fellow wrestlers Boris Kachan and Artur Rzheutsky, as well as a photo of them. Boris Petrovich Kachan was born in 1922 in Borisov, Minsk region. Graduated from 8 classes of secondary school No. 8.Barysau. Recalls Maria Nikolaevna Kachan (she became the wife of her father after the death of Boris): "I didn't want to study longer, I asked my father to take him to work at the factory. His father got him a job as a locksmith. Boris read a lot of books about accidents. He loved physical education and was devoted to it. And in particular, it was his Boxing...he was desperate, he was not afraid to jump on the car and jump out on the move, he always had victory on his side...". Boris was fond of various sports: he swam a lot, ran on skates, loved athletics, and was an excellent shot. The usual way of life was disrupted by the War. Father Kachan Pyotr Alexandrovich as an employee of rembaza No. 20 was called to the front. Boris and the mother of Sophia Spiridonovka remained in the occupied Borisov. When the mother asked her son what to do now, he did not hesitate to answer: "We'll find a case." On the advice of his uncle - a member of the underground district Committee of the CP(b)B Vladimir Alexandrovich Kachan-together with his friends Arthur Rzheutsky, Kolya Kapshay, cousin Lelya Shapchits collects weapons and ammunition, hides them in a dugout dug and equipped with them in the forest 3 kilometers from Borisov. "August 1, 1941. We built a pillbox. They dug a dugout in the dense thickets of birch trees near Bald mountain, near the village of Bolshoe Stakhovo. Our headquarters will be there. Boris Kachan was chosen as the commander, and I, as his Deputy, was entrusted with staff Affairs, "Nikolai Kapshay writes in the" Journal of combat operations of the Borisov youth group". After the war, Nikolai Antonovich became an architect. In 1958, in the village of Budenichi, Ikansky village Council of Borisovsky district, the sculpture "Partisan liberator" (a soldier and two children) was installed on a mass grave where 250 Soviet soldiers and partisans who fell in 1941-1944 in battles with the Nazi invaders are buried. One of the authors of the sculpture, N. A. Kapshay, based the composition on the image of Boris. After visiting this place, I found out that in 2009 the monument was dismantled due to severe destruction. A memorial plaque is installed in its place. Many remarkable combat operations were carried out in Borisov by an underground youth organization headed by Boris Kachan. It included Arthur Rzewski, Lucy Chalovska, Nicholas Kapshai, Boris Frolkina, Lola Shapchits, Maria Komar and others. Their activities were initially led by V. A. Kachan (uncle of B. Kachan, shot by the Nazis in 1942), and later by Deputy brigade commanders V. Anikushin, V. Rudak, and I. Zolotar. Their activities were diverse: exposing fascist propaganda, involving the population in the fight against the invaders (in particular, they were involved in the work of mayor Borisova Parabkovich), collecting intelligence about the enemy in the garrison and its surroundings, and transmitting this data to the partisans, helping the partisan brigades to expose and destroy spies and saboteurs sent by the fascist intelligence for subversive activities. The children took to the forest, to the villages of those whom the Nazis were going to destroy or take to Germany. They collected and handed over weapons, ammunition and medical supplies to the partisans. They liked to tease the invaders. In the autumn of 1941, the Nazis began to spread news of the capture of Moscow. Underground worker Anikushin in this regard wrote a satirical poster with the image of a large thist, and the guys at night were able to attach it next to the Hitler portrait near the entrance of the Borisovsky brewery. After That, N. kapshay draws a whole series of portraits and hangs them around the city along with reports of the Sovinformburo. The commandant of the city, Colonel Kering, promises a reward of 5,000 marks for the head of each of the three friends. In the summer of 1942 the underground party authorities decided to send the children to a partisan detachment. Having seized the car from the power plant, B. Kachan, A. Rzheutsky and N. Kapshay went into the forest and became scouts of the "Uncle Koli" brigade, which was headed by P. G. Lopatin, later a Hero of the Soviet Union. Under the direct supervision of the head of the special Department of the brigade V. Rudak group B. Kachan established location of the school of the Abwehr "Saturn" in the military camp Stoves, stole the chief of staff of Waldenmaier and chief 93rd sabotage school "Saturn" Colonel Neulinger, which the brigade command was sent by plane to Moscow. They destroyed the commandant of Borisov, Colonel Kering, who was responsible for the mass executions of Soviet prisoners of War, partisans, underground workers and civilians. The scout of this group Nadezhda Troyan participated in the destruction of the General Commissioner of Belarus Gauleiter V. Kube.Boris made 54 combat trips to the occupied city in order to gather intelligence, communicate with underground workers, and conduct sabotage. On his account, about 100 killed Nazis. In early January (according to some sources in February), 1944, the reconnaissance group of the special purpose detachment of the MGB of the USSR under the command Of I. Zolotar went to meet with the scout "Felix". Partisans accompanied them through the forest, and the scouts went out alone on the road. Near the village of Diarova Smolevichi district to meet the guerrillas drove a car with the Germans. A shootout began, in which Kachan Boris, Artur Rzheutsky, and Volodya Rudak were killed. When the partisans returned at night to collect the bodies of the dead, they were not there. For this reason, the brigade command was denied the title of Hero of the Soviet Union to V. Rudak and B. Kachan. It was only 20 years later that the award found a hero on the recommendation of the Borisovsky CC KPB. By decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR on May 8, 1965, Boris Petrovich Kachan was awarded the order of the Patriotic War II degree for No. 928240. The order and award book were transferred to the Museum. The hero has no other awards. There are no documents about his birth, education, lost funeral. The exact date of birth is unknown, as is the exact date of death. On the pomnimvas website.by/poisk [ http://pomnimvas.by / poisk] indicates the burial place of B. P. Kachan-D. Makovye, which is unlikely. A famous hero? Yes, but everything that is known about him is based on the memories of a friend of N. Kapshay, a woman who became the wife of Boris's father M. N. Kachan, as well as his commander I. Zolotar. You can't make them remember, but you can teach them to remember…
