Irina Pavlyutkina biography

Among the people gathered for the “Ball of the Winners” who had already become a good tradition, there were many who stood in defense of the borders of the capital. It was on December 5 that the counterattack of Soviet troops in the battle of Moscow began, which ended in a great victory in May GO. And the joy of that first great victory over the enemy in the winter of the year seemed to give a festive tuning for the current meeting of veterans of the Great Patriotic War, a meeting of friends in the 21st century.

This unusual ball was initiated and organized by the Marisa Liepa charity fund, the united metallurgical company and the Central Museum on Poklonnaya Gora, which immediately, by opening, has become a native home for veterans, where they not only retain the memory of the heroic history of the Fatherland, but also transmit it further - the young citizens of the Great Power. It is symbolic that no instructions were given “from above” for such an event.

Sight-minded people simply gathered and decided that so far there was a kind of kind, without officialdom to express their sincere gratitude to people who glorified the Fatherland for centuries, which means that we must do this. Time is inexorably counting the year. Those who walked along front -line roads sometimes even fifteen years old, already in eighty. Not everyone can come for a holiday in their honor even with the help of accompanying people.

And the ball struck! With the music of a military orchestra, with a passage on the stairs with the symbolic name “Victory Road”, the laying of flowers in the hall of glory, with a delicious treat on lovingly covered tables, with gifts - ahead of the New Year - and of course, with a wonderful concert in honor of the heroes of the evening. To welcome veterans, and in their person and their relatives, loved ones, because the forties were touched by their black wing, the artists came with an open soul.

It is a pity that this concert on television channels was not broadcast so that everyone could see how Lev Leshchenko, Tamara Gverdtsiteli, Alexander Marshal, Anna Sizov, the guys from the Eternal Engine ensemble, the Cove -Song and Loktev Dances, artists from the circus from the Yuri Nikulin color Bulvar, performed that evening. A real theatrical song performance was given by the state dance ensemble "Cossacks of Russia".

It was as if they wanted to give their hearts to those who listened to them as the artists once on the front line and in hospitals. And just as in those days, now veterans, they went out to dance on a small patch near the stage, as if not for decades behind their backs, but all their lives ahead, and they sang together their favorite songs, read poetry - and raised one hundred grams of fiery - a hero against the backdrop of history.

Everyone entered the lines of their biography on the victorious tablets. Here are just some of them, from the so far unreleased volumes of the color of the war. He is now 82 years old. And the next day, an order was issued to award him the title of Hero "For the forcing of the Dnieper River and the development of a successful offensive on the right bank of the Dnieper." The war for him began at sixteen.

Added a year - and the front. Tank fighter. There are seven of them on his account. Then, “on the right bank of the Dnieper”, he was wounded: October 22. This is his Great Patriotic War. His wife has his own account. It is marked by the Medal "For the Defense of Moscow." She defended her favorite city, the heart of the country, she defended a seventeen -year -old girl.

And the waltz, which she then did not manage to dance, she opened on the “winners” at the “Poklka” already in the new century. Major General Pavel Vasilievich Kukushkin. The military uniform was put on in the pre -trial year. He was already 20 years old in the year. You can’t fit his military fate in the lines of this small note. And in the section “Portrait of the Hero”, which is opened by the newspaper “Red Star”, we will definitely talk about its combat roads-roads.

Our sons, daughters of regiments and divisions, heirs of the glory of the Russian land. " These straightforward lines from the song of Leonid Ivanovich Rogal. At the age of 15, he went to the partisan detachment in the forests of Belarus, participated in the defense of Leningrad. But even more is said in his songs that he himself sings under the guitar to friends. He united in the Moscow Regional Public Organization of Veterans of the Great Patriotic War pupils of the army and navy - 70 sons and daughters of regiments from Moscow and the region.

And each of them can be proud of. I don’t want to use loud words, but victory is their biography. Zinaida Konstantinovna Ivanova was not fourteen years old when she escaped from Leningrad to the Volkhov Front with a truck with shells. And fought in a separate fighter anti -tank division of the Rifle Division. And about Yuri Alexandrovich Fomichev “Asterisk” already wrote. In the year he was fifteen and a half.

Always friends with older guys. They are to the front. How he, having added 3 years, persuaded the military commissar to take him - a separate story. I took a rim. But first he got to the Pacific Fleet. His school hobby came in handy: there was a fan-butter-wave. He still remembers his patrol ship "Metel". Then there was Leningrad, Kronstadt, Marine Infantry. No one guessed in the tall, brave guy of a teenager.

Then there was a wound on the Neva Piglet.And - a special detachment of sailors in Stalingrad, in M ​​- a winter offensive in the Orel region. Bloody, terrible. Then in the battalions there was a person. Kursk arc, Bryanshchina, Smolensk. Then the sailors were the first to enter Minsk, caught on his outskirts. He was among those daredevils and is rightfully proud of this.

Poland, Prussia, the assault on Koenigsberg after the next wound, he could not recover the next five years. The short transfer of the then “hot spots” of the war is just an occasion for many interesting stories and today a brave marine infantryman. Alexander Marshal sang at the concert his new song “Hold on, Alyosha! She is about the monument to the Russian liberator in Bulgaria, dozens of other monuments to our soldiers who saved the world from fascism.

And which we should now save from short -sighted politicians. That's what the whole world. Wait, brother, we are coming to you! And what does victory mean. Those who pass the memory of that terrible June to subsequent generations to the “Ball of the Winners” in the fall of GO. And - the victorious May!
