The city is a hero. On July 12, the largest oncoming tank battle in history took place in the Prokhorovka area. The 85-meter sculpture “Motherland Calls” crowns the memorial in the photo.

Lena Kornilov turned eighteen on March 24. After 45 days, on May 9, 1945, the Great Patriotic War ended. Each veteran has his own scores with fortune. The March call in 1927 was lucky according to the Hamburg score: their war ended in the "training", which was rapidly churning out young lieutenants. Those who were a little older fell into a terrible meat grinder at Lake Balaton and in Manchuria. Two-three-four months difference in the date of birth and someone from the generation of eighteen years old received a royal gift from fate - the future. And in the load of constant pain without the fault of the guilty. For the first time, she touched the heart of Leonid Vasilyevich, when he, along with other leaders of the Kalinin region, was sent to Hungary, as they said at the time, to exchange experience.

We are walking through the Soviet cemetery, the plates are the same flashing before our eyes, for many my year of birth is 1927. And there are a lot of them, 18-year-old boys! - recalls the 85-year-old veteran.

Information about the demographics of our losses during the Great Patriotic War was classified as "Secret" for a long time. Modern historians have recently begun to reveal the secrets of war generations. Elena Senyavskaya, Doctor of Historical Sciences, Leading Researcher at the Institute of Russian History of the Russian Academy of Sciences, spoke about the latest military conscription "RG".

Leonid Kornilov recalls those killed during the Balaton operation. The last defensive operation of the Red Army against the German troops. How many people died then?

Elena Senyavskaya: The operation was carried out from 6 to 15 March 1945 by part of the forces of the 3rd Ukrainian Front with the assistance of the 1st Bulgarian and 3rd Yugoslav armies in the area of ​​Lake Balaton. During the battle, Soviet troops repelled the Wehrmacht offensive, codenamed "Spring Awakening". The losses of the 3rd Ukrainian Front amounted to 32,899 people, of which 8492 were irretrievable.

97% of the generation of 18-year-olds from the first military draft of 1941 died

Now we are working on the 5th volume of the 12-volume "History of the Great Patriotic War". So, I had to meet more than once references to the heroism and dedication of Soviet fighters of the last military draft - boys born in 1926-1927, who took part in hostilities at the very end of the war: in the west, when the countries of Europe were liberated from fascism, and in the Far East, in battles with militarist Japan. I read letters from the front. And in the biographies of the authors of these touching documents it often appears: he was born in 1926, died in 1945.

"Hello, dear little sister Galya!" - wrote in February 1945 the Red Army soldier Sasha Zagorenko, born in 1926, drafted into the army in the spring of 1944. And in a boyish way he threatened the Nazis: "I am a machine gunner, number one, a gunner, so I give the Germans life, I will avenge all of them, damned bastards ..." He died on April 23, 1945, on the outskirts of Berlin.

Was it an adult, courageous generation?

Elena Senyavskaya: Courageous, of course. But they were still children. Look how Sasha Zagorenko says goodbye to his sister: "Goodbye, I kiss you hard. Hello to grandmother, mom, hello to everyone ... Draw more drawings. Your brother Sasha." They were ordinary boys who really wanted to go home to their parents, someone to brides. 18-year-old Borya Zapolsky wrote to his parents a month before his death: “I am still alive and well and still fighting the enemy. a very dangerous situation ... Dear parents, now I have one desire and one thought - about how to reach Berlin in the shortest possible time. For through it is the way home, to the Motherland ... Your son Boris. " On April 30, Boris Zapolsky was killed in Berlin by shrapnel from a faustpatron. He was posthumously awarded the Medal For Courage.

It is known that the battles with Japan were very bloody. Was it mainly the guys from the Far East who were called there?

Elena Senyavskaya: Yes it is. Although 400 thousand front-line soldiers were transferred to the Far East from Europe. In total, more than 1.5 million of our soldiers took part in the battles with the Japanese.

During the three-week Far Eastern campaign, Soviet soldiers had to overcome large natural obstacles - waterless steppes and sandy deserts of Mongolia, mountain ranges of the Great Khingan, large water obstacles to experience torrential rains, exhausting daytime heat and piercing night cold. And most importantly, it was necessary to storm the powerful fortified areas created by the Japanese for many years, which blocked access to the central regions of Manchuria, to fight suicide bombers - "kamikaze". The commander of the 1136th Red Banner Konigsberg Rifle Regiment, Colonel Savoykin, said that he would not have believed if he had been told that his regiment would pass through hot sands, mountains and gorges at a march speed of up to 65 kilometers a day: “Suvorov was a master of large crossings, but he led trained soldiers who served in the army for 20-25 years. In my regiment, 65 percent of the personnel are young people born in 1927. "

And it will be so, it will inevitably be.

An old man will appear on the stage in orders

The last front-line soldier on the planet

And before him in a fit people will stand up:

Not someone in front of them - a front-line soldier!

An experienced old man will lead a story

How this earth was ripped out of metal,

How he saved this sun for us ...

The boys will be very surprised

The girls will sigh in sorrow-

How is it possible - to die at seventeen,

How can you lose a mother in childhood ...

And he will leave in the dew of scarlet sunrises,

In bouquets of roses and field poppies ...

Memorize them before it's too late

While they live among the living.

Nikolay Rybalko. Memorize them

The last military conscription - conscription, the last one during the Great Patriotic War, conscripts born in 1926 and 1927.

By the end of 1944, the entire territory of the Soviet Union was liberated from the Nazi troops, but there was still more than six months left before the end of the war. In the first years of the war, the Red Army suffered significant losses, maintaining the number of combat-ready units by mobilizing older ages. However, the human reserves are not unlimited. It should be noted that for the first time the country's leadership decided to deviate from the Law on General Military Duty in the face of severe human losses and to call over 700 thousand underage youths born in 1926 for active military service in the fall of 1943. This experience was repeated in the following years 1944 and 1945. And do not believe anyone who says that these teenagers sat at their desks during the war. On October 25, 1944, the State Defense Committee announced the call for military service of conscripts born in 1927. Then 1 million 156 thousand 727 people were called up (according to Wikipedia).

The generation of the defenders of the Fatherland of the last military draft is a special category of people who, having barely reached the age of seventeen, were drafted in 1944 into the ranks of the Red Army and the Navy.

And all of them, in fact, were minors on the day of the call. This experience of conscription already took place in the First World War in 1915 in Russia. But then "an early call was made for young people born in 1895, and young men who had not yet reached the age of twenty went to war." This is mentioned by G. Zhukov in his book “G. K. Zhukov. Memories and reflections. "In 1944, the recruited youths were barely seventeen years old. Most of them persistently strove to the front in military units and warships. And many had to serve in units of the active army. % consisted of soldiers born in 1926-1927 (Archive of the MOSSSR F396 OP243910, d.2, l.281).

Those who of them had a chance to fight on the fronts of the Great Patriotic War, showed courage and fortitude, fighting the fascist invaders. Not all of them lived to see the Great Victory Day. Having passed the course of a young soldier at an accelerated pace, in early 1945 many were sent to the front, many a little later in the same 1945 - to the Far East to participate in the war with Japan. Not because of a good life, our country was forced to fight with children's hands. 280 thousand young Soviet soldiers remained forever on the battlefields of European countries, which they, together with their older brother-soldiers, had to free from fascism. Among the participants in the Great Patriotic War of the last military draft, 15 people received the high title of Hero of the Soviet Union.

Most of the last military draft did not reach the front, but their service at that time differed little from the front. The protection of military facilities and camps, the "cleansing" of the liberated territories were, as a rule, a terrible and bloody affair. They did not fight at the front, but were next to it, with weapons in their hands, they participated in the elimination of bandit Bandera gangs, cleared the liberated territories on land and at sea, escorted German prisoners of war, carried border and guard duty. After the end of the war, they were in constant combat readiness, without taking off their greatcoats for months, and served in the Red Army for more than three legal terms.

The special merit of these young men was that the responsibility for strengthening the defense power and security of our Motherland fell on their shoulders, when there was a massive dismissal of older privates, sergeants and petty officers after the end of the war.

Many trials and difficulties fell to the lot of young soldiers of the last military draft. The urgent service for them was extended to 7 - 9 years. There were no massive military conscriptions either in 1945 or in 1946, until 1949 in accordance with the resolution of the Supreme Military Council chaired by Stalin. Mass military conscription into the army and navy after the war began to be made only from 1949-50 -x years And all this time, from 1944 to the 50s, the generation of the last military draft served, ensuring the security and defense of our country. And at the same time, no one grumbled, did not show dissatisfaction with the three times longer service without holidays.

And even before the call to war in 1944-45, young men managed to work for 2 - 3 years in the national economy, where then only women, old people and children worked. And everyone worked without rest and vacations, giving all their strength to the common cause of Victory. All soldiers of the last draft were awarded the medal "For Victory over Germany in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945." and jubilee medals.

Last Call Soldiers

We want to tell you about the soldiers of the last draft - our fellow countrymen, residents of the village of Glubokoye.

Ivan Avdeevich Filtsov(23.08.1927 - 03.11.2016)

On January 27, 1997, in the village of Glubokoye, a public organization was created - the Council of Veterans of the last draft of the Great Patriotic War. Ivan Avdeevich Filtsov was elected the Chairman of the Council. His childhood ended at the age of 13 when the war broke out. He worked as a shepherd on a collective farm, a hitchhiker on a tractor. After the liberation of his native Milyutinsky region from the Germans in January 1943, he was enrolled in special. the formation of the NKVD - a fighter battalion. The battalion fighters lived in a barracks position, guarded weapons and ammunition abandoned by the Germans, participated in the clearance of fields from shells and mines, in the arrest of the Germans leaving the Stalingrad encirclement. And in January 1945, Ivan Filtsov was taken into the Red Army. He was 17 and a half years old. He served in the reserve regiments of the North Caucasian Military District, where he was a mortarman, an artilleryman, and a reconnaissance officer. From 1947 to 1951 he served in the Far East, and his entire service lasted 7 years. He returned to a peaceful life in 1951, he had neither education nor civilian profession. He went to work on the railroad, graduated from a school for working youth, then in absentia from a technical school and an institute. Ivan Avdeevich devoted his whole life to the railway - he was both a train foreman, and a shop foreman, head of the FDA reserve and head of the carriage depot. A railroad is a well-oiled mechanism, work on it is very responsible and requires a lot of effort from a person. Nevertheless, Ivan Avdeevich Filtsov managed to devote a lot of attention to public work, mainly dedicated to preserving the memory of the feat of the Soviet people in the Great Patriotic War. On his initiative, a monument to the railway workers who died at the front and in the rear was built on the territory of the Glubokaya wagon depot. The monument was inaugurated on May 9, 1975 and is dedicated to the 30th anniversary of the Great Victory. Later, when the depot was closed in the 90s, the monument was moved to the square near the Glubokaya station. Here are held such events as "Watch of Memory", laying flowers on the eve of Victory Day, meetings of schoolchildren with veterans. Ivan Avdeevich has always been an active participant in these meetings.

As chairman of the Council of Veterans - Railway Workers of the Glubokaya station, he takes the initiative to write the history of the station, which would cover everything - the military and labor feat of our fellow countrymen of railway workers during the war and in peacetime, the development of the road itself and its services, the fate of people who dedicated station your life. And such a booklet was created. Its name is symbolic - "The Road of Life". Many took part in its creation - members of the Council of Veterans, employees of the department of culture of the administration of the Kamensky district, the department of education, the editorial office of the regional newspaper "Earth", the Intersettlement Central Library, residents of the village of Glubokoye. But most of the materials and photographs for the booklet were collected by I.A.Filtsov. The circulation of the edition is small, but it is an invaluable material of local lore, a gift from a veteran railway worker to future generations. In 2010, the Kamensk administration and the District Assembly of Deputies awarded Ivan Avdeevich Filtsov the title of Honorary Citizen of the Kamensk District for his outstanding professional achievements and many years of conscientious work in the patriotic education of youth.

The situation there is complicated. The Chinese (Kuomintang) constantly made provocations to start a war. In 1945, the Chinese quieted down, and the regiment where Nikolai Grigorievich served was transported to Western Ukraine in the Drohobych region at the Medyka station. When Medyka went to Poland, Gaidarev ended up in the city of Mostiska in the Lvov region. Until 1950, he fought against Ukrainian nationalists in western Ukraine. Has government awards.

Genrikh Vasilievich Korablin


Genrikh Vasilievich Korablin was born in the village of Markinskaya, Tsimlyansk region in 1928. At the age of 15, he went to work at MTS as a trailer operator. They took him to the army at the beginning of 1945, at the end of February he was already in the 83rd Infantry Regiment in Novocherkassk. Two weeks later, Korablin was sent to the signal troops in the village of Vorontsovo - Aleksandrovka, Stavropol Territory. He had 7 classes of education, but there was no certificate, they did not have time to issue it - the war began. He passed the exam in the army in a peculiar way - they gave the Constitution of the USSR in their hands - read it. I read it passably. In the unit, they learned to climb poles, studied telephone sets, including new induction phonics, which then came from America. He remembers when they learned about the Victory on May 9, 1945, the deputy regiment commander for political affairs Churkin jumped out of the headquarters, hugged the sentry.

The service went more smoothly, but there was a lot of work - they were restoring communication from Mineralnye Vody to Vorontsovo - Aleksandrovka. We began to receive government assignments - 200 km of new telephone communication from Baku. The poles were transported on buffaloes, hooked, lifted, everything was done by hand. It was very difficult to dig holes under the pillars - the ground in the mountains is rocky. We finished this line - they loaded some of them into wagons and transported them to Tbilisi. From the observation deck across the pass, the one where Pushkin met the train with the body of Griboyedov, they began to build a communication line. Before that, there were crooked pillars with one wire - and this was the government connection to Kirovokan. For replacing this line, the regiment commander received the Order of the Red Star, and the signalmen were given 15 days of vacation. Heinrich Korablin was then a junior sergeant, he was transferred to Krasnodar to a regimental school as a squad leader. Then, already from Krasnodar in 1948, and he went on his first vacation. For the first time after four years of service he was then at home.

Heinrich served in the army for 6 years and 1 month. He returned home as a sergeant in 1951, already in the village of Morozovskaya. The native village of Markinskaya no longer existed; the Tsimlyansk reservoir was built in its place. Genrikh Vasilievich went to the conductors, soon became a senior conductor, then he was going to study as a driver. He studied in the 7th grade of the evening school, and then went to the Voronezh school of machinists. On train practice, he was sent as a train driver at the Glubokaya depot. His future wife, a native of the village of Glubokoye, Valentina Zakharovna worked as an instructor at Soyuzpechat.

Drafted in November 1944. He served in the artillery until May 1945. “During this time,” Pyotr Nikolayevich recalled, “not a single pound of dashing had to be sipped. Half of the country was destroyed, everywhere cold, hunger, and the army endured the same ... After all, the requirements were harsh and strict - systematic exercises, close to the combat situation. At any time of the day, a command comes in - "Combat alert!" I served in the artillery regiment of the RTK (reserve of the main command), which is armed with howitzer 122 mm and 152 mm and anti-tank 100 mm guns. Instantly it was required to build shelters for guns and manpower, and everything was built using the method of shovels and crowbars. These maneuvers were carried out 3-4 times a year at any time of the year, regardless of the weather: rain, snow, heat or cold. So the calluses for the service did not go away, and there were bloody ones ... After demobilization from the army, in a dream for another two years, he continued to carry out the commands of the commanders and demand from his subordinates. But thanks to the willpower acquired in the army and tough demands on myself, I still continue to live and benefit not only myself, but also those around me. "

These are rather scanty information left to us about the soldiers of the last draft - our fellow countrymen. Few people knew about them, they did not write about them in the newspapers. Only in recent years I.A.Filtsov, being the chairman of the Council of Veterans of Railway Workers and the chairman of the Council of Veterans of the last draft of the village of Glubokoye, tried to draw attention to their considerable services to the Motherland and to their needs. It was then in 2002 that his article “They were only seventeen” was published in the regional newspaper “Zemlya”.

The last military call - beardless boys,

The last victim of that country

Thirsty blood, war.

The last line of defense of courage not sniffing gunpowder

The last desperate step towards that victorious spring!

The boys in the photo are standing, just boys and badass,

They laugh at something excitedly and are proud of their form.

And how many of those young messengers of peace will remain there,

At the end of this terrible war, boys, almost children ...

Those who have fallen, do not build houses and plant a garden,

And never learn the sacred secret of love ...

They laugh, not knowing that bullets and rewards await them,

That the last terrible days await them for a righteous battle.

"Thank you" - I want to say for this boyish feat,

Which fans of computer games never dreamed of!

Let them be scared at times, and yet, these are heroes!

We are grateful to them for the fact that we have peace for 70 years!

Then they protected us with ranks of thin shoulders,

Filling the beating of young hearts with the last force!

The last military call ... The boys in the photo froze ...

They are laughing at something ... And there is my father among them ...

"the co-chairman of the movement" Immortal Regiment of Russia "presented the report" Documentary basis of the People's project "Establishing the fate of the missing defenders of the Fatherland", in the framework of which studies were carried out on the decline in the population of the USSR in 1941-45. He changed the idea of ​​the scale of losses of the USSR in the Great Patriotic War war.

According to the declassified data of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, the losses of the Soviet Union in the Second World War are 41 million 979 thousand, not 27 million, as previously thought. This is almost one third of the modern population of the Russian Federation. Our fathers, grandfathers, great-grandfathers are hiding behind this terrible figure. Those who gave their lives for our future. And, perhaps, the biggest betrayal is to forget their names, their feat, their heroism, which took shape in our common great Victory.

The general decline in the population of the USSR in 1941-45 - more than 52 million 812 thousand people. Of these, irrecoverable losses as a result of the factors of war - more than 19 million servicemen and about 23 million civilians. The total natural mortality rate of servicemen and civilians during this period could have amounted to more than 10 million 833 thousand people (including 5 million 760 thousand - dead children under the age of four). Irrecoverable losses of the population of the USSR as a result of the action of the factors of war amounted to almost 42 million people ... The information given is confirmed by a huge number of original documents, authoritative publications and testimonies. "

And it will be so, it will inevitably be.

An old man will appear on the stage in orders

The last front-line soldier on the planet

And before him in a fit people will stand up:

Not someone in front of them - a front-line soldier!

An experienced old man will lead a story

How this earth was ripped out of metal,

How he saved this sun for us ...

The boys will be very surprised

The girls will sigh in sorrow-

How is it possible - to die at seventeen,

How can you lose a mother in childhood ...

And he will leave in the dew of scarlet sunrises,

In bouquets of roses and field poppies ...

Memorize them before it's too late

While they live among the living.

Nikolay Rybalko. Memorize them

The last military conscription - conscription, the last one during the Great Patriotic War, conscripts born in 1926 and 1927.

By the end of 1944, the entire territory of the Soviet Union was liberated from the Nazi troops, but there was still more than six months left before the end of the war. In the first years of the war, the Red Army suffered significant losses, maintaining the number of combat-ready units by mobilizing older ages. However, the human reserves are not unlimited. It should be noted that for the first time the country's leadership decided to deviate from the Law on General Military Duty in the face of severe human losses and to call over 700 thousand underage youths born in 1926 for active military service in the fall of 1943. This experience was repeated in the following years 1944 and 1945. And do not believe anyone who says that these teenagers sat at their desks during the war. On October 25, 1944, the State Defense Committee announced the call for military service of conscripts born in 1927. Then 1 million 156 thousand 727 people were called up (according to Wikipedia).

The generation of the defenders of the Fatherland of the last military draft is a special category of people who, having barely reached the age of seventeen, were drafted in 1944 into the ranks of the Red Army and the Navy.

And all of them, in fact, were minors on the day of the call. This experience of conscription already took place in the First World War in 1915 in Russia. But then "an early call was made for young people born in 1895, and young men who had not yet reached the age of twenty went to war." This is mentioned by G. Zhukov in his book “G. K. Zhukov. Memories and reflections. "In 1944, the recruited youths were barely seventeen years old. Most of them persistently strove to the front in military units and warships. And many had to serve in units of the active army. % consisted of soldiers born in 1926-1927 (Archive of the MOSSSR F396 OP243910, d.2, l.281).

Those who of them had a chance to fight on the fronts of the Great Patriotic War, showed courage and fortitude, fighting the fascist invaders. Not all of them lived to see the Great Victory Day. Having passed the course of a young soldier at an accelerated pace, in early 1945 many were sent to the front, many a little later in the same 1945 - to the Far East to participate in the war with Japan. Not because of a good life, our country was forced to fight with children's hands. 280 thousand young Soviet soldiers remained forever on the battlefields of European countries, which they, together with their older brother-soldiers, had to free from fascism. Among the participants in the Great Patriotic War of the last military draft, 15 people received the high title of Hero of the Soviet Union.

Most of the last military draft did not reach the front, but their service at that time differed little from the front. The protection of military facilities and camps, the "cleansing" of the liberated territories were, as a rule, a terrible and bloody affair. They did not fight at the front, but were next to it, with weapons in their hands, they participated in the elimination of bandit Bandera gangs, cleared the liberated territories on land and at sea, escorted German prisoners of war, carried border and guard duty. After the end of the war, they were in constant combat readiness, without taking off their greatcoats for months, and served in the Red Army for more than three legal terms.

The special merit of these young men was that the responsibility for strengthening the defense power and security of our Motherland fell on their shoulders, when there was a massive dismissal of older privates, sergeants and petty officers after the end of the war.

Many trials and difficulties fell to the lot of young soldiers of the last military draft. The urgent service for them was extended to 7 - 9 years. There were no massive military conscriptions either in 1945 or in 1946, until 1949 in accordance with the resolution of the Supreme Military Council chaired by Stalin. Mass military conscription into the army and navy after the war began to be made only from 1949-50 -x years And all this time, from 1944 to the 50s, the generation of the last military draft served, ensuring the security and defense of our country. And at the same time, no one grumbled, did not show dissatisfaction with the three times longer service without holidays.

And even before the call to war in 1944-45, young men managed to work for 2 - 3 years in the national economy, where then only women, old people and children worked. And everyone worked without rest and vacations, giving all their strength to the common cause of Victory. All soldiers of the last draft were awarded the medal "For Victory over Germany in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945." and jubilee medals.

Last Call Soldiers

We want to tell you about the soldiers of the last draft - our fellow countrymen, residents of the village of Glubokoye.

Ivan Avdeevich Filtsov(23.08.1927 - 03.11.2016)

On January 27, 1997, in the village of Glubokoye, a public organization was created - the Council of Veterans of the last draft of the Great Patriotic War. Ivan Avdeevich Filtsov was elected the Chairman of the Council. His childhood ended at the age of 13 when the war broke out. He worked as a shepherd on a collective farm, a hitchhiker on a tractor. After the liberation of his native Milyutinsky region from the Germans in January 1943, he was enrolled in special. the formation of the NKVD - a fighter battalion. The battalion fighters lived in a barracks position, guarded weapons and ammunition abandoned by the Germans, participated in the clearance of fields from shells and mines, in the arrest of the Germans leaving the Stalingrad encirclement. And in January 1945, Ivan Filtsov was taken into the Red Army. He was 17 and a half years old. He served in the reserve regiments of the North Caucasian Military District, where he was a mortarman, an artilleryman, and a reconnaissance officer. From 1947 to 1951 he served in the Far East, and his entire service lasted 7 years. He returned to a peaceful life in 1951, he had neither education nor civilian profession. He went to work on the railroad, graduated from a school for working youth, then in absentia from a technical school and an institute. Ivan Avdeevich devoted his whole life to the railway - he was both a train foreman, and a shop foreman, head of the FDA reserve and head of the carriage depot. A railroad is a well-oiled mechanism, work on it is very responsible and requires a lot of effort from a person. Nevertheless, Ivan Avdeevich Filtsov managed to devote a lot of attention to public work, mainly dedicated to preserving the memory of the feat of the Soviet people in the Great Patriotic War. On his initiative, a monument to the railway workers who died at the front and in the rear was built on the territory of the Glubokaya wagon depot. The monument was inaugurated on May 9, 1975 and is dedicated to the 30th anniversary of the Great Victory. Later, when the depot was closed in the 90s, the monument was moved to the square near the Glubokaya station. Here are held such events as "Watch of Memory", laying flowers on the eve of Victory Day, meetings of schoolchildren with veterans. Ivan Avdeevich has always been an active participant in these meetings.

As chairman of the Council of Veterans - Railway Workers of the Glubokaya station, he takes the initiative to write the history of the station, which would cover everything - the military and labor feat of our fellow countrymen of railway workers during the war and in peacetime, the development of the road itself and its services, the fate of people who dedicated station your life. And such a booklet was created. Its name is symbolic - "The Road of Life". Many took part in its creation - members of the Council of Veterans, employees of the department of culture of the administration of the Kamensky district, the department of education, the editorial office of the regional newspaper "Earth", the Intersettlement Central Library, residents of the village of Glubokoye. But most of the materials and photographs for the booklet were collected by I.A.Filtsov. The circulation of the edition is small, but it is an invaluable material of local lore, a gift from a veteran railway worker to future generations. In 2010, the Kamensk administration and the District Assembly of Deputies awarded Ivan Avdeevich Filtsov the title of Honorary Citizen of the Kamensk District for his outstanding professional achievements and many years of conscientious work in the patriotic education of youth.

Vasily Ivanovich Volchensky

After studying there was the first baptism of fire in 1944 - the Caucasian operation. Then again the order and participation in the enhanced protection of the Chinese border. The situation there is complicated. The Chinese (Kuomintang) constantly made provocations to start a war. In 1945, the Chinese quieted down, and the regiment where Nikolai Grigorievich served was transported to Western Ukraine in the Drohobych region at the Medyka station. When Medyka went to Poland, Gaidarev ended up in the city of Mostiska in the Lvov region. Until 1950, he fought against Ukrainian nationalists in western Ukraine. Has government awards.

Nikolay Vlasovich Grigoriev

Genrikh Vasilievich Korablin


Genrikh Vasilievich Korablin was born in the village of Markinskaya, Tsimlyansk region in 1928. At the age of 15, he went to work at MTS as a trailer operator. They took him to the army at the beginning of 1945, at the end of February he was already in the 83rd Infantry Regiment in Novocherkassk. Two weeks later, Korablin was sent to the signal troops in the village of Vorontsovo - Aleksandrovka, Stavropol Territory. He had 7 classes of education, but there was no certificate, they did not have time to issue it - the war began. He passed the exam in the army in a peculiar way - they gave the Constitution of the USSR in their hands - read it. I read it passably. In the unit, they learned to climb poles, studied telephone sets, including new induction phonics, which then came from America. He remembers when they learned about the Victory on May 9, 1945, the deputy regiment commander for political affairs Churkin jumped out of the headquarters, hugged the sentry.

The service went more smoothly, but there was a lot of work - they were restoring communication from Mineralnye Vody to Vorontsovo - Aleksandrovka. We began to receive government assignments - 200 km of new telephone communication from Baku. The poles were transported on buffaloes, hooked, lifted, everything was done by hand. It was very difficult to dig holes under the pillars - the ground in the mountains is rocky. We finished this line - they loaded some of them into wagons and transported them to Tbilisi. From the observation deck across the pass, the one where Pushkin met the train with the body of Griboyedov, they began to build a communication line. Before that, there were crooked pillars with one wire - and this was the government connection to Kirovokan. For replacing this line, the regiment commander received the Order of the Red Star, and the signalmen were given 15 days of vacation. Heinrich Korablin was then a junior sergeant, he was transferred to Krasnodar to a regimental school as a squad leader. Then, already from Krasnodar in 1948, and he went on his first vacation. For the first time after four years of service he was then at home.

Heinrich served in the army for 6 years and 1 month. He returned home as a sergeant in 1951, already in the village of Morozovskaya. The native village of Markinskaya no longer existed; the Tsimlyansk reservoir was built in its place. Genrikh Vasilievich went to the conductors, soon became a senior conductor, then he was going to study as a driver. He studied in the 7th grade of the evening school, and then went to the Voronezh school of machinists. On train practice, he was sent as a train driver at the Glubokaya depot. His future wife, a native of the village of Glubokoye, Valentina Zakharovna worked as an instructor at Soyuzpechat.

During his career, Genrikh Vasilyevich drove steam locomotives, diesel locomotives and electric locomotives. He has 8 medals, in 1976 he was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labor, a war and labor veteran.

Evgeny Alexandrovich Koshelev

Drafted in 1944, served in a fighter squad. He began his service in the 7th rifle training regiment. He visited Iran in the city of Kozvin, in the 90th separate brigade, where he ended the war. Demobilized in 1951.

Vasily Ivanovich Krepeshkov

Was drafted in 1943. A corporal, he served in the 42nd rifle regiment, then served as a cavalryman in the 30th, 89th, 7th border detachments on the border in Kazakhstan and Estonia. After demobilization, he worked as an assistant steam locomotive driver, a labor veteran.

Petr Nikolaevich Kucherov

Drafted in November 1944. He served in the artillery until May 1945. “During this time,” Pyotr Nikolayevich recalled, “not a single pound of dashing had to be sipped. Half of the country was destroyed, everywhere cold, hunger, and the army endured the same ... After all, the requirements were harsh and strict - systematic exercises, close to the combat situation. At any time of the day, a command comes in - "Combat alert!" I served in the artillery regiment of the RTK (reserve of the main command), which is armed with howitzer 122 mm and 152 mm and anti-tank 100 mm guns. Instantly it was required to build shelters for guns and manpower, and everything was built using the method of shovels and crowbars. These maneuvers were carried out 3-4 times a year at any time of the year, regardless of the weather: rain, snow, heat or cold. So the calluses for the service did not go away, and there were bloody ones ... After demobilization from the army, in a dream for another two years, he continued to carry out the commands of the commanders and demand from his subordinates. But thanks to the willpower acquired in the army and tough demands on myself, I still continue to live and benefit not only myself, but also those around me. "

Dmitry Methodievich Nikishin

Drafted in September 1944. He began his service in the 7th training rifle regiment in Mozdok. After the end of the war he was transferred to the Black Sea Fleet in the city of Sevastopol. Served for over 7 years. Demobilized in April 1951.

These are rather scanty information left to us about the soldiers of the last draft - our fellow countrymen. Few people knew about them, they did not write about them in the newspapers. Only in recent years I.A.Filtsov, being the chairman of the Council of Veterans of Railway Workers and the chairman of the Council of Veterans of the last draft of the village of Glubokoye, tried to draw attention to their considerable services to the Motherland and to their needs. It was then in 2002 that his article “They were only seventeen” was published in the regional newspaper “Zemlya”.

The last military call - beardless boys,

The last victim of that country

Thirsty blood, war.

The last line of defense of courage not sniffing gunpowder

The last desperate step towards that victorious spring!

The boys in the photo are standing, just boys and badass,

They laugh at something excitedly and are proud of their form.

And how many of those young messengers of peace will remain there,

At the end of this terrible war, boys, almost children ...

Those who have fallen, do not build houses and plant a garden,

And never learn the sacred secret of love ...

They laugh, not knowing that bullets and rewards await them,

That the last terrible days await them for a righteous battle.

"Thank you" - I want to say for this boyish feat,

Which fans of computer games never dreamed of!

Let them be scared at times, and yet, these are heroes!

We are grateful to them for the fact that we have peace for 70 years!

Then they protected us with ranks of thin shoulders,

Filling the beating of young hearts with the last force!

The last military call ... The boys in the photo froze ...

They are laughing at something ... And there is my father among them ...
