Amazing people. They went through the war from beginning to end, shifting the burdens and wounds. In the centenary anniversary kept sober mind and good memory. Hearing only sometimes fails.
the Correspondent of “RG” was found with three veterans, centenarians, and recorded their memories, amazing even after 75 years. There are not so many veterans have passed the war from the first to the last shot.
Ivan Seleznev news of the attack of Nazi Germany caught in Peterhof near Leningrad on military courses. From the first days he became a fighter machine gun company 1st infantry battalion 924-th regiment of the West, and then the Kalinin front.
the First battle with the Germans took Pskov and he was appointed political Commissar of a company – because the College has completed military courses. And many of the soldiers had no such education. Already on 30 July during the heavy fighting at Velikiye Luki was wounded. After recovery – again to the front.
– you Know what’s scary was on the front line? We did not have aircraft. The Germans bombed us, as wanted, and the Soviet “hawks” in the sky – not seen and not heard. At least in the first years of the war, – the veteran tells. – Despite the fact that I was a dead shot, had still to recede and the machine gun in hands to take. Then when the defense took, there was a strong frost. And the Germans began to prepare to attack and carry out fire training. Then there was the fight. Everyone took their positions and repelled the attack. But the losses were terrible. In the company’s 18 machine guns, and nine to go. Then a mortar attack – and then it was terrible. We thought crush. The snow from the ash, fire and soot was black. And where got people red. Here it was scary to watch. And after all – the young boys. Remember, shouted: “Right-to-burst!” – was terrified because I was afraid of the environment.
this kind of fighting Ivan Seleznev has experienced more than one hundred. At first retreated, and then came and met the Victory in East Prussia, the city Darkemen, which is now called Ozersk.
Islam Mickiewicz Mamsurov, met the news of the beginning of the war at home, in Vladikavkaz, then called Ordzhonikidze. Just ten days before the start of the war, he graduated from infantry school. Almost all of his classmates immediately sent to Ukraine and Moldova.
They were on the train. Everything was very well prepared guys, says 100-year-old Islam Mickiewicz. – But the train is bombed and almost all of them died. And me and a few people sent in the Transcaucasian military district, in Iran. Accident. Lucky. It then saved a life. I joined the battalion aviation maintenance – we have prepared and secured the aircraft for the flight and throughout the war served in these forces. First two years in Iran – then on the Ukrainian front. ��s liberated Romania, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Moldova, Austria, Hungary. It was a lot worst in the war. Terrible from its inevitability. For example, there is a formation of soldiers, 80. Suddenly a RAID of bombers, the commander yells “get Down!”. All scattered on the ground. Bombs exploding around us, the fragments whistling, the ground throws. Then everything ends, you are ordered to Stand up. and rises only half of these 80. The rest remain on earth. And you’re with these guys just talking.
Islam Mickiewicz ended the war in Budapest, with the rank of Colonel. 75-anniversary of the Victory centenary veteran was going to drive through the streets of Vladikavkaz on a horse – grew up riding and loved horses. The health of the soldier allows it to do. But was prevented by the epidemic of coronavirus: a celebration of the encounter of the house that Islam Mickiewicza very frustrating.
