Stepin Vasily Ivanovich Rank: Captain Type of troops:Artillery My grandfather went through the war from Pulkov Heights in Leningrad to Seelow Heights in Berlin, and entered Berlin on May 2,1945. He didn't take pictures of the fighting during the war, there was no time, but after the capitulation of Berlin, he started taking pictures. The picture I am holding in my hands is fuzzy, The photo was taken when the war had just finished, and in the picture my father was wearing a raincoat. Accidentally, I have come across a photo of the same site by an American life correspondent. It was easier for him to take pictures with an expensive camera rather than for Konev's soldiers, who were used to shooting real guns more than snapping. And this American photo turned out to be brighter and better quality. However, the first photo is incomparably more dear to me… So my grandfather celebrated the Victory, crossed in the Danube (Vienna) and met his family in Berlin... It was very easy then to get abroad, one had to receive just 1 piece of paper, an NKVD visa. However, it was surprisingly difficult to return to St. Petersburg from evacuation. Without a personal signature of Marshall Voroshilov, my grandmother with my mom would not had been allowed back from the evacuation. After a business trip to Vienna, he was appointed Commandant in the small town of Jutebog, known for Luther's sermons and to be the largest military base in the former GDR. As soon as the family had moved there, the car accident happened. My grandfather loaned a car to a friend-pilot, the Hero of the USSR, who was drunk driving and hit a German woman. My grandfather was fired in 24 hours from the commandants and from the army:) He came back to Leningrad with his family, and even managed to get to the Victory parade. There is an interesting detail in the next photo, where he is with his wife and military friends. My grandmother has a white round brooch on her dress, a sign of Leningrad Siege. It was made of plastic, similar to bone and covered with something phosphorescent. For a long time it had glowed in the darkness of the night. Under the Siege almost everyone on the street had one of this kind… Grandfather died from the effects of severe wounds, before I was born, thу legends were circulating in the family about his interesting life. … When in September the Germans approached the Pulkovo heights near his battery, where he served as a Starshina and there were no commanders left in the regiment, either all were killed or escaped in the night. It was on the night when Zhukov replaced Voroshilov I his commanding position. My grandfather went on foot to Smolny, reported about the military situation. He was received by Zhukov himself, who ordered to organize defense and appointed him a commander. Nearby there was the destroyed factory of oil fats, where one of the relatives worked. She went with for this oil meal, half of which was taken away on the way back through the city by the guards, but this helped to survive the first winter of the Leningrad Siege for the rest of the family. My grandfather bravely fought for the Pulkovo heights on the Leningrad front and was awarded the medal «For Defense of Leningrad». Part of the staff was transferred to the North-Western front, then he was transferred to the Steppe front, in the division artillery of the regional command of the Voronezh front. During the war he served at the headquarters for providing troops with fuel. During tank combat at Kursk grandfather with soldiers repulsed fuel storage and ammunition of the tanks of the 3rd SS division "Totenkopf", This action had greatly helped the advance of our troops for which he was awarded the Order of the Red Star. As part of the front under the command of Marshal Konev, he entered Berlin, where he was awarded the order of the Patriotic War of the 2nd degree.

Nikolay Markelov, a Red Army soldier, gunner of anti-tank gun of the 4th Company of the 1050th Regiment of 301st Rifle Division, was born on May 21, 1900 in the village of Maksymivka Bazarnosyzganskiy District of Saratov Region. Russian. Education - primary. He served in the Red Army in 1918-1920 and from 1941 to 1945. Participated in the Civil War on the southern front. For many years he worked for the Kurilovskiy forestry, and in the pre-war years - for the state farm Vodnik. During the Great Patriotic War - from August 1941 to January 15, 1945 - he fought on the South-Western, 3rd Ukrainian and 1st Belorussian Fronts. He took part in the defense of Kiev and Kharkov, the liberation of Ukraine and Poland. For military distinctions, he was awarded the medal For Bravery (1944). He was wounded four times. He died on January 15, 1945. Buried in a mass grave on Polish soil near the village of Magnuszew of the Kielce Voivodeship. Nikolay Markelov was awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union posthumously on February 27, 1945, for his bravery and heroism during the crossing of the Pilitsa River and in the battle to hold the bridgehead on its Western Bank. On the morning of January 14, 1945, the troops of the 1st Belorussian Front launched the Vistula-Oder operation. A newspaper published by the occupiers in Lodz wrote: "the deceptive, abnormal silence on the Eastern front has finally passed. The storm of fire raged again. The Soviets threw their months-accumulated masses of men and materials into battle. The battle that has raged since last Sunday may surpass all the previous big battles in the East." The fascist newspaper was not far from the truth this time. The battles that took place on the territory of Poland in the winter of 1945 unfolded over vast expanses, involving millions of troops equipped with all types of modern military equipment. The regiment in which Nikolay Markelov served also successfully led the offensive. After defeating the enemy in the main defense zone, our units reached the Pilitsa River near the village of Vyala Gura on January 15. On the West Bank of the river, the Nazis had a well-equipped defense line. The first attempt to cross the Pilitsa by the thin ice was not successful. It was stopped be the heavy fire of the enemy. Two heavy machine guns laid the company on the ice. The soldiers began to crawl back. It was well seen by Markelov. The brave warrior crawled forward to the enemy-occupied shore. Climbing the steep slope, he took a comfortable position and opened fire on the embrasures of the enemy bunkers. With well-aimed shots, the armored car driver silenced both machine guns. The company resumed the offensive, crossed the river without losses, and captured a tactically advantageous bridgehead on its Western Bank. After some time, the Nazis launched a strong counterattack, trying to throw the company from the bridgehead and restore the lost positions. On a narrow front, the enemy threw an infantry battalion with 16 tanks into battle. Soviet soldiers courageously engaged in an unequal battle with a numerically superior enemy. With rifle and machine-gun fire, the company, supported by gunners and mortars, fired from closed firing positions, forced the enemy infantry to lie down. Six German tanks were hit by anti-tank grenades, the rest broke into the company's location and began to iron the trenches occupied by it. Markelov fired an anti-tank rifle at the sides of enemy vehicles. He managed to set fire to one tank. Two more tanks froze in place from the well-aimed fire of his comrades. The remaining enemy vehicles hurried back to their starting positions. Having dealt with the tanks, Markelov aimed the fire to the infantry and enemy firing points. With targeted fire, he destroyed more than a dozen and a half of Nazi soldiers. Seven counterattacks were sustained by the brave soldiers of the company. By the end of the day, the main forces of the regiment were concentrated on the bridgehead. With a determined attack, they overturned the enemy and drove them West. But Nikolay Markelov was no longer among the attackers. While repelling the last counterattack, he was mortally wounded and died on the way to the hospital.

History: Hello there! It's been 75 years, and the memory of you lives in our family. Nathan Milman, born in 1907 - war correspondent, Captain of the Red Army. For me, your great-grandson, you are unknown, because I have never seen you, talked to you, walked with you on the street, or heard your stories. But the memory of you is stored in old photos and letters. These letters are yellow, frayed leaves in a check or in a ruler, in an envelope with a small state emblem and the inscription: "Verified by military censorship 386". All the letters under the numbers - #1, 2, and so on. Only 15. All are addressed to your wife - Anna (Tarasova) born in 1909. Your first letters arrived in July 1941. They have constant questions about family, health, and children. "...How do you live? It's good that you're working. Take care of the kids. How is Eddie (son-8 years old)? Bring him up, find time every day to read him poems, tell him stories. Buy for ”Chicken – Idochka” (daughter-3 years old) a doll with closed eyes. Treat the guys calmly, don't be nervous. Take care of yourself... "(August 29, 1941). " ... haw is Eddie, does he go to kindergarten? How's my chicken? Was she sitting at home alone? Why don't you write enough about them? Kiss them for me a lot and hard. "(September 19, 1941). Each letter begins with tender words to his wife. Probably the only way a professional military man, a correspondent of the newspaper "For the Honor of the Motherland" of the 24th Army could write in those difficult days of the war, when the troops fought off the Nazis. All photocopies of newspaper articles written by you are carefully stored in the family archive. The names are simple - "Anti-aircraft Gunners", "Courage", "Red Army Bayonet", "Ninth Flight", " Details of the Capture of Yelnya»,… The articles simply and matter-of-factly describe the exploits of soldiers performed on a daily basis. In your letters you wrote: "...Always on the front lines. Already shelled. I come to the editorial office for a day or two, hand over the material, get a task, and go back to the front. Our guys fight great. They already know that the Siberians mercilessly smash the fascist pack. Almost every day I send a correspondence to the paper. From "Komsomolskaya Pravda" they ask to give them articles... "(August 18, 1941). "...today I have to go to the front line, but the departure was postponed. I'm going tomorrow. So today I will be indoors, get some sleep, write something in my diary. "(September 19, 1941). "...We live in a "chicken" hut. I came from the front line and got to "Paradise". In honor of my arrival, we had a world dinner and drank hot milk. The guys are good, caring, we live together. Early in the morning I managed to write a sketch about a friend from Voronezh. I think to send the article to Voronezh, print it in the local newspaper or broadcast it on the radio" (September 25, 1941). Autumn of 1941 came. "...Dear! I am writing my fifteenth letter. Alive and well. Autumn days came. A lot of work… I looked at the photos for a long time last night. Remember when we were in the Park, behind the tram line. Idochka was still bitten by mosquitoes. And Eddie was standing on the crossbar. Write in detail about yourself and our children. I want you to pay a lot of attention to them. Eddie is big, it is at that age that character is developed. Just don't be nervous and don't worry about me… Kiss the children for me. I hold you tight, tight. I kiss you the way you like it. Goodbye. Your Nathan" (September 28, 1941). Last letter… A month later, the 24th army was surrounded at Vyazma. The soldiers fought to the last bullet, to the last drop of blood. Many died. Many are missing. You also went missing… P.S. From the notes of my great – aunt – your daughter- Iraida Volotskova (written in 2015): "...I don't remember my dad, I don't remember his face, voice, but I remember his big hands that threw me up, making my heart stop and rejoice at the height… Why do I only remember this? Nothing more, everything else from words and letters... " Your great-grandson Maxim Baidin.

Rank: Lieutenant, Hero of the Soviet Union Branch of troops: Aviation He was born in November 1923 in the village of Klyuchi, now the Volsky District of the Saratov Region. Russian. He graduated from the High School in the city of Syzran and the Military Aviation School. He had served in the Red Army since June 1941 until the day of his death. Grandfather Mikhail joined the Regiment on 16.07.43 during the Battle of Kursk Bulge. They arrived in a group of 10-12 already formed and trained crews from the 15th Separate Reconnaissance Reserve Aviation Regiment. The arrivals were divided into the 1st and 2nd Reconnaissance Squadrons. My grandfather got into the 2nd Squadron because of his last name. There is a legendary story that in the 50th ORAP they created a Squadron of pilots with surnames, who were associated with birds. It was somewhere in 1943-1944. The Сhief of Ыйфгвкщт was Sokolov, then Soloviev, Gusev, Orlov, Vorobyov, Golubev, Kulik (the surnames were associated with Falcon, Nightingale, Gus, Hawk, Sparrow, Pigeon, and Sandpiper). Except, Pilot Muravyov (Mr. Ant) flew. But from August to September, the Regiment underwent a reorganization, and this surname principle was no longer observed, there were losses. Since July 1943 he had been part of the 2nd Air Army on the Voronezh and 1st Ukrainian fronts. The entire combat path passed as part of the 50th (since August 1944 - a Separate Guards) Aviation Regiment. He took part in the Battle of Kursk Bulge, the liberation of Ukraine and the southeastern regions of Poland. In October 1943, for the excellent performance of 31 sorties and of large and groupings of enemy movements, he was awarded the first military order - the Patriotic War of the 1st degree. By the end of May 1944, he made 122 successful combat Reconnaissance missions. Having perfectly mastered the tactics and techniques of conducting aerial Reconnaissance, he skillfully revealed all the groupings and movements of enemy troops. In days of intense combat work, he flew 2-3 sorties a day. During the period of combat work, he opened up to several thousand tanks, vehicles with cargo, trains at stations, aircraft at airfields. In June 1944 he was nominated for the title of Hero of the Soviet Union. By the decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR dated October 26, 1944, Guard Lieutenant Mikhail Georgievich Solovyov was awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union with the Order of Lenin and the Gold Star medal (No. 4290). On November 23, 1944, the crew of Lieutenant Solovyov's Guard did not return from a combat mission. They took off, probably from the Yezhov airfield (east of Rzeszow, Poland). They dissappeared in the area along the line not to the west of the Krakow-Balice-Naglowice-Deszno airfields. There is probably no more accurate information. The Regiment these days worked in this direction and in this area. He was awarded the Orders of Lenin (10/26/1944), two Orders of the Red Banner (02/07/1944, 06/11/1944), the 1st degree of the Patriotic War (10/27/1943), medals.

"I was born in 1897 on October 21 in the family of a middle peasant. In 1909 I graduated from the Dudorov parish School. In 1909 - 1910 academic year I studied at the Ladin second-class Teacher's School, but I did not graduate from this School due to lack of funds from my parents to pay for my studies from 35-40 rubles a year. From 1910 to 1914 I lived in the village of Pestovo, Staritsky district of Tver province, worked in agriculture with my parents. From December 1914 to May 1916, I lived on the Abukhovo farm in Staritsky district of Tver province, together with my father worked in agriculture. In May 1916 I was drafted ahead of schedule in the army and enlisted as an ordinary soldier of the 252nd Reserve Infantry Regiment in Rostov-on-Don. In April 1918, I returned home from the front to my father's family, and in October 1918 I was enlisted as a Red Army Soldier in a special Battalion the town Zubtsov of the Tver province. Then I was sent to the Southern Front against Denikin Forces, where I was in November - December 1918, then returned again to my father's family due to illness. After my recovery from April 1919, I voluntarily entered the headquarters of the 1st Tver military engineering squad in the city of Tver as a clerk. In March 1920 he was seconded to the town Staritsa in the 11th crew of the Tver military-labor Construction Brigade, where he worked as a Senior clerk and held the position of assistant head of the crew until October 1921. Since October 1921, having returned to my father's family after demobilization, I began to grow fruit trees for which I laid a small nursery for growing apple trees, and then a garden was planted on an area of about 0.25 hectares. When organizing the kolkhoz "Pogranichnik" of the Dudorovsky village I planted 372 apple trees from my nursery in the kolkhoz, some of which have survived to the present day on the "Selkor" kolkhoz of the Dudorovsky village, brigade No. 1 of village Bukontovo. In the month of April 1925, I listened to the monthly courses organized by the Vysokovsky Volzemotdel, and upon completion of the courses on 03/30/1925 I was elected Chairman of the cooperative horse breeding partnership in the village in Vysokoe Novotorzhsky, Tver province. At the same time in April at the congress of agricultural councils in the city of Torzhok, I was elected a member of the bureau of the agricultural council at the Novotorzhsky district land administration. After the liquidation of the cooperative-horse breeding partnership in April 1926, at a meeting of shareholders of the Zarechsko-Njegoshkovsky consumer society, I was elected Chairman of the board of village Nyogoshkovo, Tver district and province, where I worked before the merger with the Brodov consumer society until 1929, and in the Brodov consumer society I worked as Head of Trading Department until February 1931, before the unification of all consumer societies of the Region in Yemelyanovskoe Raipo. From February 1931 to May 1933 I worked as an Accountant of the Linokonolevodstroy trust in the construction of the Yemelyanovskiy flax plant, village Nesterovo, Emelyanovskiy district, Krasnoselskiy flax mill, Novotorzhskiy district, Moscow Region, and a seed-cleaning station in the village Vysokoe, Staritskiy district, Western Region. From May 1933 to November 1935 he worked as a Teacher at the Dudorov primary School in the village Dudorovo, Staritskiy district, Kalinin Region, and from November 1935 he was transferred to Logunovskaya Elementary School, which was my place of residence and worked there before the occupation by the Germans until October 1941. In 1940 I graduated from the Novotorzhskoe Pedagogical College by correspondence. From about October 17 to December 24, 1941, I lived in the territory occupied by the Germans in the village. Logunovo Dudorovsky, Vysokovsky district of the Kalinin Region. I was given a special mission from the Ministry of State Security of the Vysokovsky District personally by Comrade (indicates the last name, first name, patronymic), who gave me the password for meeting with other comrades, who were to meet me in the village Logunovo and transfer the corresponding combat missions, but during this period no one came to me and I did not receive any further combat missions until our territory was liberated, i.e. until December 24, 1941. During the occupation, I did not do any work for the Germans, with the exception of 2 times to clear snow. During the period of occupation, there were two incidents that could have betrayed me as a Communist Party member. The 1st incident occurred in the village Bukontovo in the month of November where I went to my mother to get milk for my sick daughter, who had just weaned from her mother. When I saw a citizen (indicates the names, initials of two people) and some others who asked me to go into the house where there were no enemy, but there were people who came from Kalinin to (indicates the last name, first name, patronymic) and several women. They asked me "What will be next?" I had in mind some fragments from the speech of Comrade Stalin, which my students provided me from a dropped paper off airplane. I said that in the near future a Second Front should be opened and then the Germans would quickly ride back to the west. There was an opposite opinion (indicates the surname, name, patronymic), which stated "That we will never drive out a German with his equipment, etc." and I had to persuade for a long time against his proofs, in which we had a greater dispute. At this time, our kolkhoz people suggested that it was impossible to convince him and to leave him alone. The second incident happened due to the lack of conscientiousness of the kolkhoznik (specifies the surname, name, patronymic) from the village Zhilkino, who brought a German soldier to me and together with him they began to persuade me make felt boots, for which I was offered a bag of flour, alcohol and something else. She believed that I had many people to feed (there were 9 people) and I would go for it. But when I refused them, then the German wanted to force me with a serious threat, with which he came twice, but all this went well without more serious consequences with the support of our kolkhozniks. These facts can be confirmed by a number of female kolkhozniks of the "Selkor" kolkhoz of the Dudorov village and the same (indicates the surname and initials of the woman who brought the German). After the liberation of our village, persons from the special Department of the army were associated with me, who helped me to start work on the restoration of the "Selkor" kolkhoz of the Dudorovsky village in Vysokovsky district, i.e. draw up a kolkhoz board, select foremen, take into account the remaining property and start threshing rye, which survived more than half a hundred haystacks, in exchange for which we received seeds not only for our kolkhoz, but also provided assistance to other kolkhozniks. At about the end of January or February 1942, the executive committee of the Vysokovsky district council assigned me to work as Chairman of the Dudorovsky village. I worked there until October 1942. On October 8, 1942, through the Vysokovsky Commissariat, I was mobilized into the Red Army and sent through the Kalinin transit depot, to the Kalinin front in the 199th Reserve Regiment, where I was enlisted as a Senior Clerk of the 3rd company and at the same time was assigned as the Secretary of the Communist party organization which lasted until November 11, 1943 ... On the night of November 10-11, 1943, I was badly burned while saving documents during a fire at the headquarters and was sent to a hospital for treatment. In February 1944, I returned home disabled from severe burns to the limbs of my arms and legs. ... A.P. Smirnov. "

Belugin Pavel Fedorovich (06/29/1915 - 02/01/1991). Pavel Fedorovich was born on June 29, 1915 in Kus, in a large family. In 1939, he was drafted into the ranks of the Soviet army, served in the Far East. He returned home just before the start of the Patriotic War, which no one had ever suspected at that time. Pavel got a job at an engineering plant, dreamt of a family and children. The war broke out in June 1941, and he had to go to the front. At first, Pavel was a telephone operator, and in 1942 he became an artilleryman, he commanded a 76 mm cannon and took part in the defence of Leningrad. Those were terrible days. Defending the city, the soldiers had to drag the guns on themselves, under powerful enemy fire for days on the cold ground or in the water. Pavel Fedorovich said that sometimes, before the next attack, they did not immediately manage to get up from the ground - the clothes simply froze to it. He was wounded in battle, but after bandaging he returned to duty. Pavel Fedorovich was awarded a medal for the heroic defence of Leningrad. After the liberation of Leningrad, our troops, with heavy and bloody battles, knocked out the Nazis from Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia and reached Germany. The city of Königsberg met them with an impregnable defence. To clear the way for the infantry, the guns had to be rolled out on direct fire to pierce the armour of enemy pillboxes. The gun crews became a convenient target for the Germans, but this did not force the Soviet soldiers to retreat. During those battles, Pavel Belugin, along with his comrades, took several Germans prisoner. One of the prisoners presented my grandfather with a watch in recognition of the valour of the Russian soldiers. The watch worked properly until 1960, it is still kept in our family as a relic. But for our grandfather, the war did not end with the fall of the Reichstag. Later they were transferred to the Far East, where there was a war with Japan. They failed to break through the strong fortifications of the Japanese and our command decided on a manoeuvre. To bypass the enemy from the rear, the troops were thrown across the desert and the mountains of the Small and Big Khingan. They were carrying guns, shells, the wheels of the cannons stuck in the sand. When crossing the desert, the soldiers had to face a large water shortage. Not everyone was able to withstand this test, many died in that desert. To dull the feeling of thirst, they were given ... salted herring at night. So the deficiency of salt in the body was replenished. Since then, my grandfather did not like herring, and did not eat it under any pretext. The Japanese did not expect an attack by Soviet troops from the side of the sands; the suddenness of the manoeuvre decided the outcome of the battle. During the war, Pavel Fedorovich Belugin was awarded three orders - Order of Glory, Order of Red Star and Order of World War II and six medals: "For the Defense of Leningrad", "For Military Merit", "For Courage", "For the Capture of Königsberg" and "For Victory over Japan ". During the war in the Far East, Pavel Fyodorovich met with his fellow countryman, Vasily Alekseevich Popov, who served together with him, back in peacetime. Vasily Alekseevich also went through the whole war. Together they returned from the war to their home town with victory, and lived until their death at the same street with a symbolic name - Victory Street. May 9 - is the day which has always been and remains the most important holiday in our family. Our Motherland was defended by three more of his brothers of my grandfather. The eldest, Fyodor Fyodorovich, reached Prague, Pyotr Fyodorovich also experienced all the hardships of the war, and the youngest of the brothers, Sergei Fyodorovich, unfortunately did not return. He went missing near Mozhaisk. Since then, no one knows anything about him ... All of them are always in our memory.
