I want to tell you about my grandfather Pavel Pesterev. From the memoirs of his daughter (my mother) Pestereva (Borodina) Antonina Pavlovna: My father, Pavel Pesterev, was called up to the front in June 1941, I remember how our mothers cried loudly when they saw our fathers off to war, they left with their duffel bags on their shoulders, and we barefoot children sat on logs and laughed, not understanding what was happening, why our mothers were crying, that many of our village would not return home. We got three front - line triangles from dad-letters and that's it. My mother sent packages and letters to my father, but they returned after a few months without finding their destination. My mother cried when she looked at the green contents of the packages, and I cried with her, feeling something bad. In 1947, we received a notification that dad had gone missing in October 1942. We sent requests, but there was no result. My mother believed that my father would return, waited for him all the time, and died with this hope that he was alive. And in 1990, after the death of my mother, I again wrote a letter to the Central Order of the red Star Archive of the Ministry of defense of the USSR. The response came on February 28, 1991, where it was reported that private 1786sp Pesterev Pavel Yemelyanovich, while on the front of the great Patriotic war, died of wounds in German captivity on 26.10.1942, Boholt concentration camp in Germany and was buried in a common grave.

The war probably did not pass by a single house. Now, I'm going to tell you a little bit about my aunt and uncle.

Uncle Vasya – her classmate, from the first grade at the same Desk sat, so the love was long and long – already up to 84 years. There is a war going on. Uncle Vasya is twelve and a half years old, men at the front. They called him to the district Executive Committee and gave him a task: to drive a herd of cows deep into the rear, as the Germans were advancing. There were too many cows, and he was alone. They gave me a single-barrelled shotgun, ammunition for it, a fiftieth-size sweatshirt, a coat, a mattress, and a blanket all rolled into one. Another – 20 loaves of good rye bread, a mug, matches. And the way is not close-350 km to the Vologda region. They said to drink milk-at least it will crack, so that the cows do not start. And our shepherd boy went. During the day I rested, and at night I went with a gun at the ready, so that the cows would not be taken away. I finished walking in 2.5 months. The weather has changed, the sweatshirt is already by the way, it is warm in it, only my feet are cold-a barefooted shepherd boy. Drove as received on the list-so much and passed, the document was issued to him that the cows were accepted. They say go. Where to go? The Germans are already where they came from. Frosts, cold, he began to ask for military cars to the front. He was taken, a month and a half later, when his feet almost frostbite. The fighter was 13 years old at the time. And Vasya fought right up to 46 years. I stayed in Poland for a while, I was watching a movie in Panama. I was wounded three times, my hand was completely dry in my old age, and I didn't like to be treated. He served until 1946, but in 1945 participated in the Victory parade. I look at the chronicle and don't find it. Returned from the war. The document on acceptance of burenok so all war and coast, gave it to the district party Committee. Then he married Valentina. A year later, the term of urgent service came up and our guardsman started serving again. My wife is in medical school studying, waiting for a baby. And then the students of the school were sent to the sawmill, and the young soldier did not have a son. And there were no more children. Lived, worked, traveled all over the USSR, worked as a trucker and dragged me with him. He wasn't a talker, I was the one who got everything from him on the sly when I was Hiking around the country. God rest his soul, no childhood, no youth, and life is not honey. And so it passed, this life. And he was a great worker! Where to us. All my life I had great respect for him and loved him like a father. And aunt Valya with her trouble. So I lived my life, but I was a favorite of both of them, and the love was mutual.

There were two natural obstacles in the way of the division's advance — the don river and the high ground on its right Bank, where German troops were stationed. It was winter. There was ice on the river. But it was impossible to overcome the river. German emplacements (guns, mortars, machine guns) were firing heavily at our advancing troops. Residents of the village of Aksayskaya, teenagers Sasha Ievlev and brothers Vasya and Zhenya Krivtsov, helped the scouts to go to the village and showed them where the German firing points and concentrations of German troops are located. The enemy was seriously defeated, and by the morning of February 14, 1943, the village was liberated. On the same day, our troops liberated Rostov. The enemy retreated and took up a defensive position on the Mius river. A stable Mius front was formed, where there was persistent fighting for five months. Nikolay Vasilyevich also participated in these battles. The Germans were sitting on the heights of the Western Bank of the Mius river, which dominated the flat Eastern Bank where our troops were stationed. The enemy was constantly shelling our positions, causing heavy losses. After the defeat of the German troops near Kursk, on August 18, 1943, our troops on the Mius front went on the offensive, broke through the enemy's deep-echeloned defenses, liberated the city of Taganrog and entered the territory of Ukraine. Especially persistent battles were fought near Melitopol and during the liberation of the Kherson region. Here Nikolay Vasilyevich during the liberation of the village of Pervomayskoye, being an assistant commander of a mortar platoon, successfully suppressed the enemy's firing points with fire from his mortars and defeated his manpower, which contributed to the rapid liberation of the village. For skilful actions in this battle, he was awarded the order of Glory of the III degree, and the Executive Committee of the Pervomaysky village Council awarded him the title "Honorary citizen of the village of Pervomayskoye". In these battles in early November 1943, Petrov was seriously wounded. He was sent to a hospital in Kislovodsk, where he remained until February 1944. After recovery, he was appointed commander of the expedition group of underwater technical works, which was located in Rostov-on-don and was engaged in lifting ships sunk in the don and Seversky Donets rivers. Here Nikolay Vasilyevich met the Victory Day. In December 1945, he was dismissed from the army and returned to the village of Aksayskaya. In 1988, Nikolay Vasilyevich died and was buried in the Aksai cemetery.
