Going through the yellowed leaves, I imagined how many years ago, wrote these statements people queued up in front of military. In the early days of World War II, about ten thousand Murmansk asked to send them to the front as volunteers. Two thousand of them were mobilized.
In front of me - mute testimony of a single national patriotic impulse. The statements are quite different. Some typed according to the rules of office, while others are written in pencil on brown paper. See these documents because we were able to Elena Kovalenko, head of the department of the military commissariat of the Murmansk region around the city of Murmansk.
"Please do not give up"
That statement by the Secretary of Murmanoblprokuratury Galina Sokolova and Maria Alexeeva. The girls at all - 20 and 22 years old. "Please take the Red Army, t. To. We wish to give all their strength and energy for the benefit of the Soviet Motherland, for the benefit of the people. Please do not refuse the request."
What you become, girls? Managed to get his and get to the front? Whether you stay alive in the bloody meat grinder? Perhaps we will never know this. Not a single dedicated website where you can find information about who fought in the Great Patriotic War, it was not possible to find information about them. Perhaps they had to continue to work in the prosecutor's office. But even then, their share of difficulties stood out too much. Murmansk bombed almost every day. In April, May and June 1942, prosecutors had to take refuge in bomb shelters for 8-10 times a day. And then people started to just work in the shelter. June 18, 1942 at Murmansk were dropped over 12,000 incendiary bombs. Then it burned down 630 houses, including a two-storey wooden house on the street Sophia perovskite, which housed the regional prosecutor's office. That's when her team had to go to work underground. And in addition to its direct work they were engaged in construction of defensive structures, the construction of dugouts and airfields, gather mushrooms and berries, consisted of destruction battalion took part in removing the debris and fire fighting ...
But Nicholas Volosevich statement. By today's standards, just a kid, 16 years in all. But Nicholas had worked a working machine shop "Murryby."
"Please accept barter in the ranks of the Red Army, since I 16 years old, and so I wish to join our valiant Red Army as a volunteer. And I will execute without any wrangling orders of commanders."
Hey, Nick, your mother probably cried when I found out about your act. But also proud that I raised such a son. The army then in 1941, you did not take. But you reaching military age went to war, drank Down and Out in full.
Information resources "feat of the people," we found information that Nicholas Volosevich called in 1943, and on 8 April 1944, our countryman in the village of Brooke made a heroic deed. A group of Germans then attacked the village and part of the CPT occupied homes. The division commander ordered a group of scouts to clear the village of the Nazis. In a short two-hour battle, the enemy was defeated and driven back into the mountains. Nikolai Volosevich first time rushed to the enemy and personally destroyed three opponents. For which he was awarded the Order of the Red Star.
"Missing"
Under a report eighteen Mikhail Alferov is even political instructor Anchukova postscript: "Please do everything possible and send to the front." We see the boy dopek political leader, that he has promoted his mobilization. "In view of the brazen attacks of the German authorities ask for our homeland to enlist me as a volunteer in the ranks of the Workers 'and Peasants' Red Army, because I want to defend their homeland, not sparing their lives, and perform all the tasks of the Communist Party of Bolsheviks of Lenin - Stalin," - wrote the boy. Commissar granted his request. Misha went to the front. In April 1943, Sergeant Mikhail Alferov went missing under Kestenga. This is what we find on the site "Memorial".
How many of our boys were killed in the Karelian forests! Back in 1941, the Germans carried out an offensive operation. They wanted to seize the station Louhi and thereby cut the rail links Murmansk - Leningrad. This would create difficulties with everything you need our troops in the Arctic and the Northern Fleet. And also further complicate the transport of goods that lend-lease was delivered to the ice-free port of Murmansk Allied convoys. Finnish information service officer O. Paavolaynen wrote in his diary about the battles on the Kestengskom direction: "It has been almost a year since the war began. Then, naively spoke of the ceremonial march to Vyborg and the military campaign in a few weeks. Now, a year later, everything seems uncertain, unreliable , uncertain. " In these places, the enemy had a double numerical superiority. But it is not over. And that is the contribution and murmanchanin Misha Alferov, who did not spare his life for the sake of victory.
But a statement from JI Brzhezanskoy, students of 4th year medical institute named Pavlov. Written without unnecessary lyrics, businesslike. Probably, she arrived in Murmansk on vacation to her parents. June 24 has been in the military. Please send it on the front of the doctor. Well, doctors are needed in the war. In a short statement, the military commissar resolution - "to account". What was her fate? Surely the war conducted in hospitals and medical unit, pulled from the dead mutilated soldiers on the battlefield and wept cash those who could not save. On the fate of our compatriot, we unfortunately did not manage to learn.
Forty Alexey V. Borodin asked to enroll him as a volunteer in the cavalry, "... t. To. Served in the 5th Caucasian Division of the Kuban." So I imagine this dashing barbel. He had a 10-year-old son and wife. "I swear on my head, that I will fight with the enemy to the last drop of blood" - wrote the trooper. He never called, but he fulfilled his vow. In 1944, freely hired welders 141st car repair garage Alexei V. Borodin will be awarded the medal "For Defense of Soviet Arctic."
"For a happy, fun and cultural life"
Striking persistence NA Vodoevich. She was the beginning of the Great Patriotic War was only twenty-one, but she had become a widow. Her husband died in 1940 at the Finnish War. And she tore the front to avenge him. In a statement to the request to send to the front the young woman did not immediately respond. And she wrote to them again and again. "This secondary flow statement commissar, as I wish to be a fighter and go to defend their dear and beloved homeland. How happy I am waiting for the hour when I will hand over the agenda ... my word be steadfast, courageous fighter and fulfill the duty, which is to carry a fighter such a beautiful and invincible Red Army. I'm going to follow in the footsteps of her husband, who fought in the battles with the White Finns and died February 17, 1940. I want to go to replace him and to avenge her husband and their daughter. " I wrote about this amazing woman commissar. Information on how to further developed its fate, we also could not be found.
Nineteen murmanchanka Galina Ilnichna Vorobyov said in a statement to the draft board wrote: "I want to protect with the men their homeland. For a happy, fun and cultural life." She worked as a telegraph operator, and that her specialty was useful at the front. He fought on the Karelian front. In November 1944, he was awarded the Order of the Red Banner, and in 1945 sergeant Ilinichna Galina Vorobiev received a medal "For the Defense of the Soviet Arctic."
We attempted to trace the fate of a few of our fellow countrymen, who in June - July 1941, rushed to the front as volunteers. But even these few stories hit the courage and heroism with which these men were at the front and in the rear for the victory.
