"Feat 28"

Olga Razgulyaeva / Moscow region today

The memorial complex in Dubosekovo was created in May 1975, to the 30th anniversary of the Victory. On the memorial plate is carved: "Defending Moscow in the harsh November days of 1941, at this border, in a fierce battle with the Nazi invaders, 28 Panfilov heroes fought to death and defeated." Six ten-meter figures represent representatives of six nationalities who fought here.

According to the official version, when the Germans launched an offensive against Moscow, 28 soldiers from the personnel of the 4th company of the 2nd battalion of the 1075th rifle regiment, led by political instructor Klochkov, defended the patrol near the village of Dubosekovo. During the four-hour battle, they destroyed 18 enemy tanks, while all were killed. Historians note a lot of inconsistencies in this story; many are sure that there were more fighters, and that not all of them were killed. However, to this day, the story of 28 Panfilov's men remains one of the most famous stories about the war.

By the way, the famous phrase "Russia is great, but there is nowhere to retreat - Moscow is behind" is attributed to political instructor Klochkov.

"Peremilovskaya height"

This place within the boundaries of modern Yakhroma received its present name in 1941. The Germans had no doubt that they would easily take this line, because the famous 7th Panzer Division was on the offensive, capturing Paris on the move. Our soldiers had almost nothing to fight back with: the company, which held the defense on the western outskirts of Yakhroma, did not even have hand grenades in its arsenal. The Germans captured the city, crossed the channel to them. Moscow, entrenched themselves on its eastern bank and rushed to Peremilovo. On their way, the soldiers of the 3rd battalion of the 29th rifle brigade, led by Lieutenant Lermontov, stood up. A fierce battle broke out: german tanks accompanied by infantry on one side, and a handful of soldiers with two guns on the other.

At this time, the commander of the First Shock Army, Lieutenant General Kuznetsov, was in Dmitrov. At his disposal were only a rifle brigade, one armored train, the Dmitrov construction battalion and a Katyusha battalion with one ammunition load. With this reserve and decided to go to the rescue. The first battle did not bring results, but on the morning of November 29, under cover of darkness, Soviet soldiers broke into the village. The enemy, having lost several dozen soldiers from the 14th Motorized Division and 20 tanks from the 7th Panzer Division, retreated in disarray to the western bank of the canal. There was no more chance of a swift attack on Moscow from the north.

In 1966, in the year of the 25th anniversary of the Battle of Moscow, a bronze monument was erected at the Peremilovskaya height. And later, the poet Robert Rozhdestvensky, at the request of the Yakhromchan people, wrote a six-line, the lines of which are now carved on a granite pedestal:

Remember:
From this threshold
In an avalanche of smoke, blood and adversity,
Here in 41st the road began
Into the victorious
Forty-fifth year.

Monument to Podolsk cadets

Wikipedia.org

It was erected in honor of the feat of the commanders and cadets of the military schools of Podolsk, who, together with the 43rd Army, defended the southwestern approaches to Moscow.

In 1939-1940, artillery and infantry schools were created in Podolsk. Before the start of the war, more than three thousand cadets studied there. On October 5, 1941, almost two thousand cadets of the artillery and one and a half thousand cadets of the infantry school were alerted and sent to the defense of Maloyaroslavets. For several days they held back the offensive of the many times superior forces of the Germans. On October thirteenth, enemy tanks approached with red flags, but the deception was discovered, and the attack was repulsed. Soon, German troops captured the defensive lines in the Ilyinsky combat area, and almost all the cadets who held the defense there were killed. Only on October 25, those who remained were taken from the battlefield and sent on foot to complete their studies in Ivanovo. By that time, almost 2.5 thousand people had died.

Tank T-34 in Kalinovo

A memorial in the Serpukhov region was erected in memory of the tanker Dmitry Lavrinenko and his crew. After the battles near Mtsensk, the 4th tank brigade was transferred to Moscow, to the Volokolamsk direction. However, 105 kilometers from the capital, one tank was missing: Lavrinenko's crew, which had previously been left to guard the headquarters of the 50th Army, arrived only a day later. It turned out that, although the tankers were released to catch up with the brigade, they could not get to their own along the road clogged with vehicles.

When the crew arrived in Serpukhov, a large reconnaissance detachment was already heading for the city - a battalion of Germans on motorcycles, three vehicles with cannons and one command vehicle. The city had only an extermination battalion in reserve, in which old people and teenagers served. And then one of the soldiers remembered - there are tankers in the city! The commandant assigned Lavrinenko the task of stopping the enemy.

Having camouflaged the car at the edge of the forest in the area of ​​present-day Protvino, the tankers began to wait for the Germans. They were so sure of themselves that they did not even send out intelligence. Letting the lead vehicle go 150 meters, Lavrinenko shot the convoy point-blank. Two guns were immediately defeated, and the third German artillerymen tried to deploy, but Lavrinenko gave the command to go to the ram. The tank jumped out onto the road and, crashing into trucks with infantry, crushed the last gun. Serpukhov's commandant was handed over 13 assault rifles, six mortars, 10 motorcycles with sidecars and an anti-tank gun with full ammunition and several prisoners. The German headquarters bus Firsov allowed to be taken to the brigade. There were documents and maps that were immediately sent to Moscow.

Monument to the Soldier-Liberator in Serpukhov

memory-map.prosv.ru

Author's 2.5-meter model of the famous Vuchetich monument, installed in the German Treptower Park. The sculptor recalled how, after the Potsdam conference, he was summoned by Klement Voroshilov and offered to prepare a project for an ensemble dedicated to the victory. Someone suggested that the declaration was signed by Stalin, which means that he should be in the center, the sculptor decided. He made a project, but was dissatisfied with it. And then, as an experiment, he decided to create a second - a Russian soldier, carrying a German girl out of the fire in his arms. He breaks the swastika with his machine gun.

They say that Stalin studied both models for a long time. “Listen, Vuchetich, are you tired of this ... with a mustache?” He said, pointing with a mouthpiece to the main project. And I chose the second one. He only advised to give the soldier something more eternal, symbolic than a machine gun. So the warrior-liberator had a sword.

In 1964, a model of the sculpture was brought from Berlin to Serpukhov, where since 2008 it has been installed on Cathedral Hill at the mass grave. There are also reduced copies of the monument in Vereya near Moscow, in Sovetsk in the Kaliningrad region and in Tver.

Have a nice time of the day.

Seven decades ago, volleys of the Great Patriotic War died down, which claimed the lives of millions of people. The war brought death and ruin to our country, and the Nenets Okrug was not spared either. 9383 people went to the front during the war, 3046 people did not return from the battlefield.

The feat of the people, who defeated a terrible enemy, all this time lives in the people's memory. It is immortalized by the monuments of the Great Patriotic War, communicating with the "formidable forties."

Monuments and memorial plaques dedicated to the feat of the people in the Great Patriotic War have been erected in the Nenets Autonomous Okrug. The objects of military equipment were used in three commemorative signs.

The earliest of them was installed in Naryan-Mar in 1946 in the area of ​​the Naryan-Mar seaport. This is the Yak-7 (b) aircraft, built during the war at the expense of shipyard workers. The monument has a complex and at the same time instructive history.

81,740 rubles were collected in 1944 by workers and employees of the Naryan-Mar shipyard for the construction of a fighter plane. In June of the same year, the plane was handed over to the pilot of the White Sea military flotilla, Alexei Kondratyevich Tarasov. On the fuselage of the combat vehicle, the proud name "Naryan-Mar shipbuilder" flaunted. On this "hawk" Tarasov flew until the end of the war. On one of the combat missions, at the Vadsø base (Norway), the pilot shot down two Foker Wolffs.

In 1946 the plane was returned to Naryan-Mar. The townspeople installed it as a monument. For ten years, he stood without proper care and was seriously injured: the rubber from the wheels became unusable, the fuselage lost its plywood, someone removed the plexiglass from the cockpit. On June 15, 1956, by the decision of the city executive committee, the plane ... was written off. By order of Soviet officials, it was dismantled and taken to a landfill. This act received a great response in the public circles of the city and the district, the war veterans were the first to defend the monument. Fortunately, the aircraft engine was saved. In 1957, at the initiative of the public, it was installed near the building of the district museum.

On May 8, 2010, a prototype of the heroic Yak-7B aircraft was installed in the center of Naryan-Mar.

V modern world when everything changes, one thing remains unchanged - this is a history that must be preserved. The greatest activity in the installation of monuments was manifested in our district in the 1980s. Then 9 obelisks appeared at once, reflecting the feat of the people during the Great Patriotic War.

And in our time, this tradition continues to live. Proof of this is the appearance in 2003 of a monument to soldiers-fellow countrymen who died during the Great Patriotic War in the village. Indiga. The project was prepared by V.E. Glukhov with the participation of officers of the military unit.

The central part of the complex is a stele with a pointed top. In the center, in the upper part, there is an image of a five-pointed star, below the inscription: "The Great Patriotic War 1941 -1945".

In front of the obelisk there is a slab on which the inscription: "Eternal memory to those who fell for the Motherland", below are the names of the inhabitants of the village who died during the war (42 people).

In the central part of the obelisk there is a metal plaque on which the inscription: "1941 -1945" is followed by a list of the names of the inhabitants of the village of Nikitsa, who died during the war (21 people).

On the eve of the celebration of the sixtieth anniversary of the Victory, three more monuments appeared on the district map - in the villages of Makarov and in the village of Kamenka, the monuments to "Compatriots who died during the war" and in the city of Naryan-Mar - to the Pilots of the Polar Region.

The memorial sign in the village of Makarovo was made in the military memorial office of the city of Arkhangelsk at the expense of the North-West Fund for the Development of the Peoples of the North. The main work on the delivery and installation of the object of history was undertaken by the ROO "Shield".

The monument is a four-sided stele on a concrete base. On the front side there is an inscription: "1941 - 1945" below: "Let's remember everyone by name, we will remember our grief. It is not necessary for the dead, it is needed for the living. "
On the side and on the back, there are images of warriors - a tanker, a sailor, and an infantryman. Slightly above the image of the awards of the Great Patriotic War - respectively: medals for the capture of Berlin, the Order of the Patriotic War, the Order of Glory. This is the second monument in the village of Makarovo. The first was installed by the forces of the Komsomol in the 60s. The location of the object was poorly chosen, it was located in a flooded area, which led to its destruction.

The obelisk "To the Pilots of the Polar Region" was made in the city of Arkhangelsk. The sketch was prepared by the head of the search group of the Russian Academy of Sciences ECO "Istoki", local historian - ecologist Sergei Vyacheslavovich Kozlov. It is made of "Mansurovsky" granite, the inscriptions are applied in gold paint. The monument is crowned with a flying seagull symbolizing polar (sea) aviation.

Drawings of crashed planes are applied to the right and left. There is an illumination around the obelisk.

February 23, 2012 in the center of the city of Naryan-Mar, in memory of the residents of the Nenets Autonomous Okrug, who during the Great Patriotic War formed five reindeer transport echelons, with a total number of more than 600 people, and more than 7,000 heads of sled reindeer. Echelons of people and deer were formed in the Kanino-Timansky, Bolshezemelsky and Nizhne-Pechora districts of the Nenets National District, to their destination, the Rikasikha station of the Arkhangelsk Region, they walked several hundred kilometers on their own in winter and polar night conditions. In February 1942, at the Rikasikha station from these echelons as well as the echelons arriving from the Leshukonsky district of the Arkhangelsk region and the Komi Republic, the 1st reindeer ski brigade and the 2nd reindeer ski brigade were formed in the 295th reserve regiment, which were sent to Karelian front. On September 25, 1942, on the basis of these two units, the 31st separate reindeer-skiing brigade of the Karelian Front was formed.

On November 20, a memorable date was set in the Nenets Autonomous Okrug - the Day of Remembrance of the participants of the reindeer transport battalions in the Great Patriotic War.

Monuments on the territory of our district dedicated to the feat of the people in the Great Patriotic War are diverse. However, it is possible to highlight their main features characteristic of each object. Structural elements, attributes of monuments are often similar. For example, the technique of a combination of a stele and memorial plaque with the names of the dead, an image of a star or an order, an eternal flame or an image of an eternal flame, everywhere on the monuments there is an inscription: "1941-1945".
On the days of the Victory Day celebrations, it is at these monuments that the residents of the district pay tribute to the fallen and to those who survived the difficult war years at the fronts, to those who forged Victory in the rear, to those to whom we are grateful for the opportunity of a peaceful life.

AiF.ru has collected stories of destroyed and forgotten monuments of the Great Patriotic War: extinct "eternal" lights and monuments drowning in debris.

Eternal "eternal" fire

A guard of honor from schoolchildren every weekend and holidays comes to Svoboda Square in the center of Staraya Sarepta - Volgograd district. More than three thousand Soviet soldiers who died during the Great Patriotic War are buried here.

An 18-meter-high obelisk was opened here in 1958. And about 14 years ago, the mechanism of the Eternal Flame was arranged, which does not work today.

As explained in the administration of the Krasnoarmeisky district, the Eternal Flame is lit only at "protocol events" - only a few times a year. The reason is the lack of funding. On such days, and this is May 9, August 23 (the day of the beginning of the most destructive bombing of Stalingrad), February 2 (the defeat of the Nazi troops at Stalingrad), sponsors bring a bottle of liquefied gas to the memorial, which is connected to the "eternal flame". On ordinary days, the obelisk at the mass grave is decorated only with wreaths and fresh flowers.

Zakamsk: "eternal" on schedule

The symbol of the Great Victory in Zakamsk is shown only once a year for several hours. Memorial "Rear to Front" - one of the unspoken symbols of the city - is located in a cozy park, families with children often come here for a walk.

There are drawings on half of the monuments, rubbish is scattered everywhere. The tiles are cracked in some places. In the extinct Eternal Flame, along with dirty foliage and candy wrappers, lies a plastic bottle.

In the municipal budgetary institution"Improvement of the Kirovsky District" said that here the Eternal Flame burns only on Victory Day: from 9 am to 10 pm. On other days, the gas is turned off - they do not find money.

Maintenance of the monument, including restoration, takes place annually according to the schedule. Photo: AiF / Dmitry Ovchinnikov

The situation with the monument to the workers and employees of the shipyard who died during the Great Patriotic War is even worse than with the memorial "Rear to Front". The sculpture is owned by the factory, which is supposed to take care of the pedestal, installed in 1975.

For 40 years, the monument has never been repaired. The green paint is peeling from all sides. The eternal flame, for which the frame is made in the form of a five-pointed star, has not been burning for a long time. There are candy wrappers, cigarette butts and even a gnawed bone nearby.

Before the holiday, they promise to bring the monument to its proper form: eliminate defects, tint. On Victory Day, according to tradition, residents of the city will come here. Flowers will be laid at the memorial. Fiery patriotic speeches will again sound from an impromptu stage, a field kitchen will unfold next to the monument. They promise to light the eternal flame. For this purpose, a gas cylinder will be specially brought. But after the holiday, the symbol of eternal memory will be extinguished again - until next year.

Mila's tragedy

Even sadder is the fate of the monument to the girl Mila, which was erected on the Soldier's Field in Volgograd in 1975. In January, a sculpture of a girl with a flower was destroyed by vandals. As established by the investigation, a local resident pushed the monument off the pedestal in order to remove the surface layer of metal from it and hand it over to the reception center.

Mila's sculpture appeared on the Soldier's Field for a reason. Fierce battles were fought in the Gorodishchensky district. A small detachment of Soviet soldiers took up defenses here, having an order to stop the enemy offensive at any cost.

From here before the fight Major Soviet army Dmitry Petrakov wrote a letter to his daughter Mila, the lines of which are engraved on the granite triangle: “My black-eyed Mila! I am sending you a cornflower. Imagine: there is a battle, enemy shells are bursting around, there are craters around and a flower is growing here. And suddenly another explosion - the cornflower was torn off. I picked it up and put it in my tunic pocket. The flower was growing, reaching for the sun, but it was ripped off by a blast wave, and if I had not picked it up, it would have been trampled. This is how the fascists act in the occupied settlements, where they kill the guys. Mila! Papa Dima will fight the Nazis until his last breath, so that the Nazis will not treat you the same way as with this flower ... "

Today, instead of cornflowers, weeds grow on the Soldier's field, the asphalt pavement has crumbled and cracked, the symbolic plowshares of the plows with which the field was plowed have rusted. And the mass grave, in which the urn with the ashes of the dead soldiers is buried, is overgrown with thick grass.

The monument to the girl Mila was recently restored. But when the work on the maintenance of the Soldier's Field will be organized is still unknown.

Death Log is buried in garbage

The mass grave, in which the soldiers of the 95th rifle division are buried, together with their commander, is located right on the banks of the Volga. Fierce battles took place here, when the river literally burned, and its waters acquired a blood red color. Today it is not easy to find this obelisk. There are no signs, and not all residents of the Krasnooktyabrsky district know about the existence of the monument.

It was here, in the Glubokaya Balka ravine, that the front line of the division's defense passed. The gully was shot by the Germans all the way to the Volga, the losses were enormous, for which the area got its name - "The Log of Death".

Today the monument is surrounded by rubbish. Broken bricks, fragments, bottles, packages. Judging by the huge garbage bags, residents bring and dump garbage here on purpose, not wanting to bother with waste disposal.

Chelyabinsk: a monument among the kiosks

V Soviet time schoolchildren knew by heart the names of 23 Chelyabinsk motorists who became Heroes of the Soviet Union and full holders of the Order of Glory. In Chelyabinsk, two monuments were erected to soldiers-motorists. One of them is located on the territory of a liquidated military school, it is hidden from human eyes by a high fence and a strict checkpoint. The school was closed, the monument was “liquidated” along with it.

The second monument to warriors-motorists has always been honored and respected. Here, in the courtyard of Bazhov Street, they took excursions and laid flowers. Today the monument is forgotten, abandoned, crumbling with old age. The place has long been chosen by the owners of retail outlets.

“I was still little. In the 80s, I ran here with her friends to play hide and seek, ”says Elena Kulumbeyeva, a resident of a neighboring house. - In the nineties, the monument miraculously disappeared. Look closely - and he was fenced off, as it were. To get there, you had to try. And everyone has forgotten how so? "

A shopping center has sprung up behind the fence. The monument against its background was completely lost. To get to the monument, you need to walk three hundred meters from the road along the impassable mud at any time of the year. The situation is aggravated by construction waste: next to it is a trailer with workers, who now and then bring building materials right here, to the foot of the monument.

Photo: AiF / Nadezhda Uvarova

Near the monument are not wreaths and bouquets of fresh flowers, but an old broken chair and the same antediluvian table. Builders go here for a smoke break.

It seems that, apart from them, no one has been interested in the monument for a long time. The red star on the stele burned out long ago and almost merged with the gray concrete. The decoration of the monument crumbles and falls off in pieces. All that was left of the white marble fence were rickety pieces of square tiles. Rusty iron bars stick out around the monument. Once upon a time there was an inscription here: "Nobody is forgotten and nothing is forgotten."

But the construction of multi-apartment, colorful, bright houses is underway nearby. A stream of buyers is drawn to the shopping complex, who do not even know what is wrong with back side, on a vacant lot, a monument rests just a few meters away.

St. Petersburg: the monument behind the hangar

Last winter, in St. Petersburg, one of the members of the Zhivoi Gorod public movement discovered an abandoned monument to the heroes of the Great Patriotic War behind the hangars of the Lenta hypermarket. A cast-iron figure of a soldier, covered with snow, stood in an industrial zone, on the territory of the former plant of lifting transport equipment named after I. Kirov. Near the blue fence that encloses the industrial zone, there is a stele engraved with more than five hundred names of the deceased employees of the plant. The stele says “1941 - 1945. Nobody is forgotten and nothing is forgotten. Eternal glory to the heroes. Together with the Fatherland, you all won the Victory. We have kept you in our hearts ”.

Contrary to the inscription, the memory of the heroes who gave their lives for Great Victory, have not saved. These photos were taken almost a year and a half ago - in the winter of 2013. During this time, the blue fence was changed to a concrete one with barbed wire. Now you can't go to the monument at all. To a question from an AiF.ru reporter, one of the workers in the industrial zone, passing by, replied: “I don’t know any monument. Go away, you can't take pictures here. " Most likely, the monument to the heroes of the war has already been dismantled.

Now you can't get to the monument at all. Photo: AiF / Yana Khvatova
