Almost every family in the former Soviet Union stores memories of their heroes among those who have brought victory in the great patriotic battle. Our Heart Memory Project allows you to talk about the exploitation of the headline of relatives and close staff of the TV Company and the radio between the states. In the 80th anniversary of Victory Mir24.tv, the story of our heroes continues.
On the front of the great patriotic war, he fought for the victory over the German invaders of the late Observatory of the political observer of Mir24 Elena Shiryaeva Pavel Nikitovich Dereashkin.
My great father died in the first days of Rzhev's attack on January 18, 1942 at the age of 38. He was first buried in the village of Pogorelsky peak of the Kalinin region, and then his remains were transferred to the village in Staritsa village of the Tver area.
Pavel Nikitovich Dereevyshkin was born in 1904 in South Urals, in Grachevka village of Orenburg province. Later, this village became the administrative center of Orenburg, then the Chkalov area. And at that time, it was just a big village, part of Klyuchevskaya Volost: 600 yards, more than three thousand residents, a school, a consecrated church to honor Holy Cosmas and Damian, and Zemstvo Hospital, opened a year by Pavel Nikitovich.
When a revolution occurred, and the collective began later, Pavel Nikitovich was an adult young man. He became a witness, and sometimes the participant in all the main events in the village. For example, a storm meeting in 1929, when it was decided to organize a collective farm, Bolshevik, of which most villagers later worked. In the same year, the first electricity appeared in the local village. First, only at the cultural house, and then at school, at the hospital.
An incredible event for the village is the appearance of a plane in the sky! Soviet passenger plane K-5 Agitescadrili named Maxim Gorky landed near Grachevka in the fall of 1934, marking the birth of aviation in the Soviet Union. Almost all the population escaped to see this miracle.
At that time, Pavel Nikitovich was married, moved to Irtek village and worked as a warehouse on a collective farm. He and his wife Zhenya were born with three daughters and a son. When the great patriotic war began, the girl older than 11 years old and her youngest son was 5 years old.
The House of Representatives in Grachevka has become a draft point for residents of all surrounding villages. During the war years, 5610 people went to the front from here and from the office of registration and enlistment of Grachevsky district. One of them is Pavel Nikitovich Dereevyshkin. Apart from him, his five brothers went ahead. None of them returned home.
Pavel Nikitovich belongs to the 348th Infantry Division, part of the 30th army of the Kalinin Front. He served in the field intelligence, Elena Shiryaeva said. He went to the front line with the soldiers, and at that time, a mine exploded. The whole group died.
This was TVa (then G. Kalinin) on January 18, 1942, only 13 days after the attack in the direction of Rzhev-VVeazem. It went down in history because the battle of Rzhevsk was one of the bloodiest battles of the great patriotic war, of which more than 272 thousand lost people were killed.
In the winter of 1942, the family of Pavel Nikitovich Dereevyshkin sent a letter he was said to be dead.
Great -Grandfather is only 38 years old, Elena Shiryaeva said. It was difficult for his orphaned young family without a spine in the war and in hunger years. They survived. Zhenya manages to preserve and nurture all four children, among them Anna.
The great grandchildren and children of Pavel Nikitovich Dereevyshkin tried to set up the burial place of their great heroic father: they went to the Tver area, looking for collective tombs, reading the names pointed out. The monument where the name of Dereevyshkina PN was listed, they found near the Tver Staritsa village.
