Historians have 14 descendants of Alexander Pushkin, who participated in the Second world war, 10 of them fought on the side of the Soviet Union. Among them were the brothers Oleg and Alexander Kologrivov, great-grandchildren of the great poet.
the Eldest, Alexander, came to the front straight from the bench of the Murom school of communication. Together with his friends he defended Moscow, when the enemy came close to its borders. When the Nazis were driven back, he with the red army moved West, freeing their homeland from the invaders.
In February 1942, Alexander received a severe wound — a shrapnel from a mine hit him in the leg. The fighter was out of action for four months. After discharge from the hospital, he returned to school and graduated, and then again went to the front.
Junior Kologrivov, Oleg, during the bombardment of Moscow in the summer of 1941, along with other students extinguished the roofs of the houses, and then volunteered for the front. He participated in breaking the siege of Leningrad, liberated the Baltic States and participated in the capture of Berlin.
a few months after the war, a miracle happened now: Alexander and Oleg met by chance in Berlin. The joy of the brethren knew no bounds, because they had not seen for four years.
the Soviet artist Vladimir Pereyaslavets, which itself was a war, created the painting “Group portrait of the descendants of Alexander Pushkin — the great Patriotic war.” It depicts the brothers Kologrivova: Oleg — left and Alexander on the right. Today this portrait is kept in the Museum of defense of Moscow.
the Son of Marina Tsvetaeva Georgy Efron, Moore, as she is affectionately called, was born in 1925 in Prague. There at the time worked for his father Sergei Efron. Just a few months after the birth of Marina Ivanovna brought him to Paris. The boy grew curious: at an early age is equally fluent in Russian and French, and in the evenings mother taught German. Family of tsvetaevas-Aronov returned to the USSR in 1939.
When the war began, 16-year-old Moore with her mother went to the evacuation to Elabuga. After the death of Marina Ivanovna he arrived in Moscow, where he studied in a boarding school. In the capital, he did not stay long in October 1941 he was again evacuated, TEPEph already in Tashkent. There Moore graduated from high school and then again in Moscow. In the capital, he fulfilled his lifelong dream and entered the Literary Institute. But to finish it to George Efron was not meant to be.

Only in the 1970s, they learned that in July, 1944, the son of Marina Tsvetaeva was severely wounded in battle in Belarus and sent to the infirmary. After that his traces were lost. Still don’t know the place of death or place of burial of Moore. He was only 19 years old.

During the Second world war with German troops fought many immigrants, when some left the Russian Empire and the USSR. Among them was Ariadna Scriabin, the daughter of the great Russian composer Alexander Scriabin, who in 1924 was living in France.
In 1940, was one of the pivotal events in her life — she married the Jewish poet Dovid Knut. Soon after, she adopted the faith of her husband, having made a convert to Judaism. Ariadna Aleksandrovna took a new name — Sarah — and since I asked all your family to call it’s the only way. With the beginning of the war, the couple became members of the French Resistance.
At the end of 1941, Sarah, David and several friends founded an underground organization, which he called “Descendants of David” (later it was renamed the “Jewish army”). Gradually the number of supporters grew by the end of the war there were about two thousand. With the increase of the organization expanded the scope of its activities: from the collection of humanitarian aid and print leaflets to acts of sabotage against the Nazis. In addition, Sarah and her friends helped to hide refugees and smuggle them across the border.
Sarah’s Life was cut short in the summer of 1944, a year after the birth of her son Yossi. 8 July, together with another member of the “Jewish army” Raul Leon she went back to the safe house where they were waited by an ambush. The search began. At some time in the apartment went another member of the “Jewish army”, Tommy Bauer. Leon tried to use the confusion of the Vichy police and threw them in the first available under the arm thing — the bottle. Then I heard gunfire. One of the bullets was in Sarah’s heart.
the Merit of Sarah, the Whip was awarded the French government posthumously she was awarded the Resistance medal and the Military cross. In 2017, her name wouldl named one of the promenades in Jerusalem.

Today, Konstantin Yesenin remembered not only as the son of the great poet. Konstantin Sergeevich with his youth he loved football and became one of the main experts in football statistics in the Soviet Union, wrote “Soviet sport”, “Football” and other well-known sports publications. The great Patriotic war has touched on it, but that difficult time, he did not like to remember.
In June 1941, Konstantin Yesenin was a student at the Moscow construction engineering Institute. In November of the same year he decided to go as a volunteer to the front. In 1942, the film became one of those who defended the residents of besieged Leningrad.
During the war the poet’s son was shot four times — once even his colleagues were convinced that Constantine died. It happened in the summer of 1944, when Yesenin fought on the Karelian isthmus. After a hard fight killed the company commander and his Deputy, therefore, to take the command himself had the youngest Lieutenant Yesenin.
When Constantine led fighters in the attack, he was hit by explosive bullet. In the confusion of battle it took the nurse from another part. Not finding a second Lieutenant on the battlefield, co-workers assumed he was dead. In the newspaper “Red Baltic fleet” even published an article “in the blue sea”, which tells about the death of Konstantin Sergeyevich, and his family was sent a notice of the death.
Despite the severity of the wound (a bullet pierced a lung), Constantine survived. After back surgery left 17-inch weld. Many years later, Konstantin Sergeyevich even joked: “When I go to the doctor, just enough for me to take my shirt off, I immediately write the Bulletin, the sick list”.
Among the men who fought fascism relatives of the heroes of memorial museums was not only their descendants, but also ancestors. For example, father of Vladimir Vysotsky. “Mass graves”, “Height”, “Reconnaissance” for his life Vladimir Vysotsky wrote many beautiful songs about the great Patriotic war. Although in 1941 he was only three years, the veterans noted that in his poems Vysotsky definitely gave soldiers the truth. About the war he told my father-the veteran Semyon Vladimirovich.
In his youth, Semyon Vysotsky chose a military career. While studying at the Polytechnic College of communication he passed non-military training and received the rank of second Lieutenant. His military service began before the Nazis attacked the Soviet Union.
In March 1941 the whole family accompanied the Seeds of Putin, going to the garrison with the Kiev station of capital. Little Volodya was trying to go with dad — did not want to go anywhere. The poet even PU��tili the train and allowed him to wait with his father’s departure. Get out of the carriage Volodya persuaded by cunning: he said that there is little time to take a walk. As soon as he got down on to the platform, the train started.
Semyon Vladimirovich met the war in the village of Idritsa, a small town in the West of the Soviet Union, where his garrison. Fighting threw the father of the poet in different parts of the country — he participated in the defense of Moscow, liberated Lviv, Donbass, took Prague, and Berlin. The war Semyon Vysotsky graduated in the rank of major.
