The commander of the machine gun platoon of the 412th Infantry Regiment of the 1st Infantry Division, Senior Lieutenant Ryabinin, at the head of a group of fighters, crossed the Vistula northeast of the city of Bromberg (Bydgoszcz, Poland) on January 27, 1945. Having captured a bridgehead on the left bank, the soldiers destroyed up to 2 platoons of enemy infantry. While holding the captured line, on January 28, 1945, he destroyed dozens of Nazis with machine gun fire. In this battle he was seriously wounded.

He worked as a military instructor in one of the schools in the Krasnogvardeisky district. Died March 2, 1975. He was buried in Moscow at the Lublin cemetery (site 33).

In the city of Yoshkar-Ola, a street was named after him and a memorial plaque was installed.

Awarded the Order of Lenin (06/29/45), Red Star (08/14/44).

In 1930, Nikolai Ryabinin graduated from the workers' faculty and began working as an accountant at the Kuat collective farm in the Orsha region of the Mari Republic. In 1931-32, he served in military service as a Red Army soldier in the 134th Infantry Regiment of the 45th Infantry Division, there he joined the ranks of the Bolshevik Party, and returned to his native collective farm. A family appeared - a wife and three children. Normal life was hampered by frequent illnesses, which Ryabinin struggled with in every possible way.

After the start of the Great Patriotic War, Ryabinin was not immediately drafted into the army again because of his medical record. Only in February 1942 he was sent to the Vinnitsa KUKS, evacuated to the Udmurt city of Mozhga. But even after them, having become a lieutenant 3 months later, Ryabinin was declared unfit by a medical commission with a recommendation for dismissal. An order was even issued to this effect.

But in some unthinkable way, Lieutenant Ryabinin in May 1942 was seconded to the personnel department of the Southern Front, where he remained until the end of June. Then he was sent to a training unit in Moscow, where he served first as a political instructor and then as deputy commander of a training company for political affairs in a number of training units.

In February 1944, Lieutenant Ryabinin was appointed commander of a machine gun platoon of the 412th Infantry Regiment of the 1st Infantry Division of the 70th Army of the Belorussian Front. After heavy fighting on the Oryol Bulge in the summer of 1943, the army was in reserve and was engaged in formation in the rear. Only in April 1944 did it become part of the 1st Belorussian Front, and its formations began to concentrate on the front line along the southern bank of Pripyat in Volyn. In May 1944, Ryabinin received the rank of senior lieutenant.

Senior Lieutenant Ryabinin received his baptism of fire in tactical battles in June 1944. And already on July 17, 1944, an offensive began on this section of the front during the Brest-Lublin operation. Ryabinin's machine gun platoon took part in crossing Pripyat near the village of Ratno and conquering a bridgehead on the northern bank of the river. From this bridgehead, the troops of the 70th Army launched an attack on the city of Brest. Ryabinin's machine gun platoon took part in the battle for the Malorita station and in street battles in Brest. Moreover, the machine gunners, together with the riflemen, cleared 9 city blocks of the enemy and reached the Western Bug River in the area of ​​the Brest Fortress. For his distinction in these battles, Senior Lieutenant Ryabinin was awarded the Order of the Red Star.

In August 1944, the division in which Ryabinin fought liberated the territory of Poland. His machine gunners, with their devastating fire, contributed to the capture of the settlement of Losice and the Jadow station. But on September 1, 1944, on the approaches to the Narev River, Senior Lieutenant Ryabinin was wounded in the left shin and was treated in the medical battalion.

From the bridgehead on the Narew, already as part of the 2nd Belorussian Front, the troops of the 70th Army in January 1945 went on the offensive during the Vistula-Oder operation. Ryabinin’s machine gunners took part in the battles for the village of Racenz, together with the riflemen crossed the Drwentse River and reached the Vistula near the city of Bromberg (Bydgoszcz).

On the evening of January 27, 1945, a rifle company of the 412th Infantry Regiment, with a machine-gun platoon of senior lieutenant Ryabinin attached to it, quickly crossed the Vistula across the ice and in battle captured a small bridgehead on its bank. The company commander died in hand-to-hand combat, and Ryabinin took command of the combined group. When capturing the enemy's trenches, up to 40 fascists were destroyed. In this battle, Ryabinin was wounded, but continued to command the unit.

On the morning of the next day, January 28, 1945, the enemy threw large forces into the bridgehead, numbering up to an infantry regiment with the support of tanks and artillery. A heavy, bloody battle ensued. Ryabinin's fighters fought to the death, stubbornly holding the conquered bridgehead. At a critical moment, when the Nazis seemed about to break into the paratroopers’ positions, the platoon commander himself lay down behind the machine gun, replacing the deceased machine gunner, and began mowing down the Nazis with well-aimed bursts. His fire was so devastating that up to 50 enemy corpses remained in the snow before the Nazis rolled back. The machine gunner's position was hit by several artillery pieces and mortars. One mine exploded almost next to Ryabinin. The group commander received multiple injuries and was evacuated across the river. But the fighters of Senior Lieutenant Ryabinin completed the task, defending the bridgehead, to which other units of the 1st Infantry Division crossed and began fighting for the city of Bromberg. For the courage and heroism shown during the crossing of the Vistula, senior lieutenant Ryabinin was nominated for the title of Hero of the Soviet Union.

At evacuation hospital No. 4845, doctors saved Ryabinin’s life by removing 11 fragments from his body. But he developed gangrene from a wound in the elbow. The left arm had to be amputated. Here he was treated until December 1945, and here he learned from the newspapers about his high award. In 1946, he arrived in Moscow, where he was awarded the Order of Lenin and the Gold Star medal in the Kremlin.

After the war, disabled person of the 1st group N.S. Ryabinin began working as a military instructor in one of the Moscow schools and lived after the war for 30 years...

Introduction.

When I first heard the name of Nikolai Ryabinin in literary local history classes, I learned that he was not only a famous Ulyanovsk poet, a member of the Union of Writers of the USSR, but also that he worked for 17 years as a teacher at the Tetyushskaya secondary school, where I study, and taught Russian language lessons and literature.

Therefore, the choice of the topic of work was dictated by my interest in a man of great soul, a bright creative personality, like Nikolai Ryabinin.

I consider the topic of my work to be relevant, since studying one’s native land is the most important component of spiritual, moral, patriotic education.

And love for the Fatherland begins, first of all, with love for the “small homeland” - the region, city, village, village, place in which you were born and raised.

Therefore, it is necessary to preserve the historical and cultural heritage of our region.

The information I received as a result of the research can be used in literature lessons, extracurricular activities, as well as in the Museum Studies club.”

Goal of the work: studying the biography and creativity of a fellow countryman poet.

Tasks:

Deepen knowledge about the life and work of the Ulyanovsk poet Nikolai Ryabinin;

Study periodicals about Nikolai Ryabinin;

Conduct research on the activities of Nikolai Romanovich Ryabinin (Sidorov) during the period of his work as a teacher at the Tetyushskaya secondary school.

I. Poet Nikolai Ryabinin.

Nikolai Romanovich Ryabinin (real name Sidorov) was born in 1918 in the remote village of Ermolovka, Luninsky district, Penza region. He began writing poetry since his school years, when many at that time tried their hand at poetry.

After graduating from school, Ryabinin entered the Ulyanovsk Pedagogical Institute and continued to write poetry. Once he signed his poems with a pseudonym - Ryabinin. These poems were published. And since then, Nikolai Romanovich signed all his poems with a pseudonym.

Why Ryabinin? Probably because this tree reminded him of his father’s house, his childhood, and he wrote about this in his poem “Rowan”.

Whatever you want, this tree is nice to me:

From my infancy I grew up under his tabernacle.

I can still see it: it was engulfed in fire,

Like my father's hut on fire.* 1

The first works appeared in print in the forties, when I was in my third year. There were so many plans and ideas, but everything ended in an instant: the war began. At the age of 22 he went to the front. He fought on the Karelian front since the most terrible summer of '41. He fought in mortar units in the Arctic, in difficult conditions of the tundra. He was a gunner, mortar commander, and deputy political instructor. After completing the course in July 1945, he was appointed commander of a mortar platoon and participated in the war with Japan. While on the front-line fields, he did not forget about poetry. Something appeared in the front-line newspapers “Sentinel of the North”, “Into the Battle for the Motherland”, “For the Glory of the Motherland”.

He was demobilized in 1947 and returned to the Volga region. Graduated from the Pedagogical Institute. He first taught in the village of Baranovka, Nikolaevsky district, from 1948 to 1952 - head teacher of the Krasnoborsk secondary school, Veshkaymsky district. He worked as a teacher at a secondary school named after Lenin, and as an employee at regional radio broadcasting.

From 1955 to 1972 - Tetyushskaya secondary school, and from 1972 he switched to literary work.

Nikolai Romanovich raised a garden, raised two sons of whom he could be proud, wrote books, taught, educated many students while working as a school teacher.

The work of a teacher of Russian language and literature could not but be reflected in the poet’s poems. After all, if every day you communicate with Pushkin, Lermontov, Blok, Yesenin, then you strive for perfection in your work.

Having walked the roads of war, seeing the horror and chaos that reigned all around, the author, of course, could not help but reflect military themes in his work.

Ryabinin writes about the war with that deep restraint that gives the word the freedom to grow in breadth and depth, to spaciously spread out its semantic branches.

What was the worst thing in the war?

Villages on fire?

Are the funnels black?

No, the worst thing was

When there was only one stove in the steppe,

Didn't warm anyone

She was freezing in the wind...

…Alone...alone... Left out of work,

Stripped naked by the fire,

The stove stood and looked into the distance with longing,

The busy hostess was waiting.* 1

The poems of Nikolai Ryabinin, no matter what he writes about, are always deeply humane - and this, perhaps, is their main advantage. The poet most often speaks not about himself, but about what is painfully dear to everyone’s heart. Working people who are in love with their work is another of the themes of Nikolai Ryabinin’s work.

Nikolai Ryabinin found constant inspiration and poetic images for his poems nearby, at hand, they were given to him by their native land and the wise, non-vain people living on it

*1 - N. Ryabinin. Winter. Saratov. Volga Book Publishing House: - 1982 – p. 54

His poems are lyrical and heartfelt. With what sincerity he writes about nature, where most often admiration of its beauty turns into love for his native land, the Motherland.

What I see: at my feet

The first thawed patch is getting dark.

The hole is small, round

On an old fur coat of February.

In that hole the earth is visible,

Her living body is dark.

Well, that means the fur coat is fragile,

The skinny thing is about to fall off your shoulders.

And we will be surprised: beauty

She was wearing it!* 1

The moral theme runs through the poet’s work as a red line: “Indifferent”, “We parted ways and became city dwellers”, “Parting with the huts”,

“Asphalt for you, so that your heels can click.” They express regret that people are leaving villages and moving to the city. There they no longer need not only peasant labor, the land that fed them, but even poetry. Nikolai Romanovich himself was in no hurry to move to the city. He moved to the regional center only when he retired. But he himself never forgot about his roots and urged readers not to forget about it.

Our roots remain in the village, Only you don’t keep a pedigree:

This is where your lineage begins. It’s still known that he’s not a prince,

There, in the village, is your ancient grandfather, your blood relative, the pitiful plowman,

Or grandma may live. Smerd, kneading the dirt with his bast shoes.

Or some uncle remained. But bow to the memory of your ancestor:

But there is no village kinship - Bread grew on his strip!

Could you, looking at the genealogy, And grasp this truth firmly:

Find his trace in the old days. We are all country people.* 2

*1 - N. Ryabinin. Winter. Saratov. Volga Book Publishing House: - 1982 – p. 37

Remembering Nikolai Romanovich, Vladimir Dvoryanskov writes that Ryabinin “was by nature an extremely modest and conscientious person and treated his work very strictly, with exaggerated demands.

...when the good news was brought to his steppe village that he had been accepted into

members of the Writers' Union, he sincerely did not believe it: “For what? How's that? Not at all

this might be the case." And then he wilted, became stern and said to his poet friend: “This,

probably a joke? You just can’t joke so cruelly...” *1

But then he was actually accepted into the professional creative union. They accepted him when he was already over forty and when he was already a mature, mature lyric poet.”

Nikolai Romanovich Ryabinin loved life, loved to breathe the air of his homeland. Unfortunately, fate did not give him much time. Front-line battles and roads took their toll.

Once there was a meeting at the Writers' Union. Suddenly Nikolai Romanovich felt bad. They called an ambulance. Doctors diagnosed him with a stroke. Unfortunately, the front-line soldier, who defeated a formidable enemy, was unable to cope with the insidious illness.

There are trees and grass in the cemetery,

Flocks of cheerful birds are restless,

And I wander and say sad words,

I read the words of mourned love.

Everyone had their own destiny.

Here is the grave of an old man.

In the village there is no new hut -

He erected walls and rafters there.

*1 – V. Dvoryanskov. Late review. // Monomakh. - Ulyanovsk: OSU “United Editorial Office”, - 2007, No. 2 – p.18

And here, where it’s like white milk

The spring bird cherry was doused,

Under a low fresh tubercle

The woman who milked our cows is sleeping.

And here, look, everything is flowers, flowers.

Children bring them to this hill.

Teacher, quiet worker, and you,

And you, my friend, did not live in the world for nothing.* 1

He is not with us. But the poems he wrote and suffered through could teach the past and will be able to teach the future generations a lot.

*1 - N. Ryabinin. Winter. Saratov. Volga Book Publishing House: - 1982 – p. 10

II. "Teacher! What a word!”

My village is originally Russian,

Built a long time ago

But it has a strange name - Tetyushskoe,

Listen: it whistles.

And since - not tea and not coffee -

I was happy with the raw grass

Curly, with an African profile

Cheerful young gentleman.

And he looked around: “Yes, Tetyushskoe...”

He couldn't help but say this:

Very ours, very Russian

A village among steppe roads!* 1

Nikolai Ryabinin’s poem dedicated to the village of Tetyushskoye sounds so emotional and heartfelt. And this is no coincidence. After all, it was this village that he considered his second homeland; Nikolai Romanovich lived and worked here as a teacher of literature and Russian language for 17 years from 1955 to 1972.

Teacher is a holy word. And with this kind word you remember those teachers who left a noticeable mark on the child’s soul and were able to win the respect of their colleagues.

Nikolai Romanovich was just such a teacher, possessing the power of influence on his students, able to instill in them not only interest, but also love for his subject.

When he crossed the threshold of the Tetyushskaya secondary school, he was met here by a friendly team of teachers led by the director Isakov Ivan Vasilyevich.

At that time, Anna Mikhailovna Dolgova taught geography.

“Nikolai Romanovich was a very modest person, an excellent teacher,

*1 - N. Ryabinin. Winter. Saratov. Volga Book Publishing House: - 1982 – p. 26

The children loved him and the villagers respected him. He did not like increased attention to himself. He loved nature and naturalness. I devoted all my free time to poetry.”

Nina Anatolyevna Guryanova, a mathematics teacher, came to the school when Nikolai Romanovich was already working there.

“In 1956, I came to work at the Tetyushskaya secondary school, and Nikolai Romanovich Sidorov, a teacher of Russian language and literature, worked as the head teacher at that time. The first thing that surprised me when I met was his hospitality: I went to his apartment, his wife Maria Nikanorovna fed me delicious pies.

N Ikolay Romanovich was a teacher from God, I went to his lessons, for me these visits were tantamount to visiting the theater. He knew all the poems by heart, be it Pushkin, Lermontov or Mayakovsky, Yesenin. How he read them! I sat in class with my mouth open, and the students listened so attentively. I don’t know how “modern” students would love literature. I still remember literary evenings dedicated to Sergei Yesenin, Blok, Mayakovsky. Then we had subject weeks, and evenings were held for each subject.

Nikolai Romanovich was not only a wonderful teacher and head teacher, but also a family man. At that time, men - aunts - looked askance at him because he went for water, bread, and hung out laundry - this was considered not a man’s business. He loved his wife and helped her in everything, and since she was a teacher, he knew what that meant.” Sidorova Maria Nikanorovna

Together with Nikolai Romanovich and his wife, Maria Nikanorovna, Anna Fedorovna Savelyeva worked as a literature teacher (now on a well-deserved rest). This is how she remembers this time.

“The Sidorov family was modest. Although they were hospitable, they did not have close, bosom friends; they maintained even, good relations with everyone. Nikolai Romanovich was not a big drinker, and during the war he had a cold in his kidneys, so there was never any alcohol in the house. Nikolai Romanovich was a kind, generous man, he loved to walk along the edge of the river and write poetry.

His students learned that he wrote poetry only when a note about him appeared in some newspaper and his poems were published.

He rarely spoke at any meetings, saying that he had no time, he needed to write poetry. But when he did have a chance to speak, everyone present listened to his speech and did not notice how time flew by.”

My village school

My Ermolovsky first teacher!..

I've seen other lands

I am now a different resident of the area.

But everything seems: here he comes

Early in the morning along our street,

The man is amazing

He gave everything in his life to his children.

Simple, there seems to be no erudition,

In a fur coat, like a man, in a malakhai.

We follow him, without stopping,

Only in class then it became quiet.

And the teacher - how happy he is with everything -

Straightens his hunched shoulders.

And all the “hello!” - everyone to him

Strives to bow when meeting.

Your cheeks are burning hot from the cold.

The crowd in class fell silent.

You can only hear the feathers creaking,

Paper rustles under your hands.* 1

The older generation: former students, teachers still remember his literature lessons.

What needs to be done to prevent reading a literary and artistic book from becoming a burdensome task? And this is where love comes to the fore. Love for your business. You cannot teach to love what you yourself do not love or do not know how to love.

Nikolai Romanovich’s love for his subject was so great that he literally infected the children with it.

The former director of the school, Semenov Ivan Dmitrievich, recalled:

“I worked with Nikolai Romanovich for a long time, and for me, first of all, he was a teacher. In this regard, Sidorov is an exceptional person. He was excellently prepared methodologically, had an excellent knowledge of literature and knew how to present any literary work to his students. Once I attended Nikolai Romanovich’s lesson on the topic “Review of Soviet poetry during the Civil War.” If you listened to how he read Bagritsky’s poem “Duma about Opanas.” I was sure that after such a lesson, the children became interested not only in the works of this poet, but also in his life. And this is very important for both better understanding and broadening the horizons of schoolchildren. Well, and the poems... This, to use Sholokhov’s language, is “his wonder.” And without it there is no man.”

A true teacher is remembered for life. When the teacher himself is on fire, only then will he be able to light up his students. Absolute knowledge alone is not enough for this. It just needs to burn!

Nikolai Romanovich raised and graduated more than one generation of children, in whom he instilled a love for great Russian literature. I would like to cite the memories of some of N.R. Sidorov’s students

“In grades 8-10, Nikolai Romanovich Sidorov taught literature. I loved literature. He explained things interestingly and taught me how to write essays. The best essays were read aloud. He didn’t shout, he didn’t swear, he was upset when he didn’t know the lesson. I remember how the head teacher came to class, and Nikolai Romanovich asked me, hoping that I knew, but for some reason I didn’t learn. And now I can imagine how confused he looked. That's how I let him down. We went to a literary circle, but Nikolai Romanovich never talked about writing poetry, but we knew about it, but we were never curious.”

(Moskaleva Valentina Petrovna)

“I remember my school years (50-60), my peers, a large group of teachers, including my literature teacher and class teacher Nikolai Romanovich Sidorov, the famous poet Ryabinin. Before my mind’s eye stands a tall, thin man with gray hair and a thoughtful look in his gray eyes. He was a deeply decent person, a true intellectual - a bearer of knowledge and culture, an excellent teacher, moderately demanding and friendly.

In literature lessons, in addition to the compulsory material, Nikolai Romanovich introduced us to the latest prose and poetry, sought to instill an interest in reading serious literature, and involved us in discussing works. He tried to develop his students’ reading taste and independent judgment, and recommended reading art magazines.

Nikolai Romanovich was a very modest person; I don’t remember him reading his poems at school. I learned about them from the literary pages of district and regional newspapers, and then from published collections.

Our class hours often took the form of confidential conversations. Under his leadership, scripts were prepared and staged, and reading competitions were held.

I had to work for some time with a poet teacher at our school. He was highly respected by both students and teachers and was my ideal.

Ryabinin’s poetry is a memory of a wonderful man, teacher, poet.”

(Chemistry teacher Belyaeva A.N.)

Nikolai Romanovich Sidorov organized many interesting events. In those days, schoolchildren often met with famous people not only from the village of Tetyushskoye, but also from the region. There was even a meeting with a participant in the civil war, M.I. Samarkin, who came from Ukraine. He took part in the liberation of Simbirsk from the White Guards, and personally knew the hero of the civil war, Guy Dmitrievich Guy.

And in 1967 there was a big meeting with Ulyanovsk writers and poets. The name of the meeting - “Poems, scorched by war” - was suggested by Andrei Tsarev, who brought to the school the famous writer, author of the book “Clouds Are Going to the Wind” N. Karpenko, playwright, author of the play “There is No More Beautiful Destination” V. Dedyukhin and artists of the regional philharmonic society. The meeting was lively and interesting. Famous guests read their poems, shared memories, artists gave songs and romances.

But the most vivid memory of former teachers and students is the school teachers' theater. And the director of this theater was none other than Nikolai Romanovich.

It all started with the fact that a play was staged for some holiday, everyone liked it and wanted more. Amateur artists performed performances not only in the village of Tetyushskoye, but also in neighboring villages.

N.R. Sidorov never boasted that he wrote poetry, much less showed that he was a poet. He didn’t stand out for anything except his high culture and attention to every person.

Fate brought Alexander Mikhailovich Bogatov together with Nikolai Romanovich Sidorov within the walls of the Tetyushskaya secondary school.

“I didn’t know that I ended up in a team where the poet works. One day, a rumor spread throughout the village that Nikolai Romanovich Sidorov would appear on regional television. He will read his poems. Then the first televisions had just appeared, and we, teachers, huddled around the black and white screen. We didn't have to wait long. Short news, and a poet appeared before us. He behaved calmly, although, as he later found out, this was his first performance. He said a few words about himself and began to read poetry. Such stories were regularly broadcast on local television back then. But the meeting with the poet was connected with the fact that a collection of his poems, “Cranes,” had recently been published. This was in the fall of 1960."

Nikolai Ryabinin loved rural nature. He often walked through fields, meadows, behind vegetable gardens, wandered along the Trofimovka River and composed his poems there.

The river is called Trofimovka...

Once upon a time, they say, there lived Trofim,

listened to the robin singing in the bushes,

as the swallow chirps above him.

I dug up roadside linden trees,

cleaned springs along the ravines

and earned ridiculous fame -

the mischievous people cackled after him.

Like, again the blessed one with a shovel.

Well, dig, Trofimushka, dig!

And the water is pinkish from the sun,

the springs were bubbling over the edge.

And jingling keys flocked

from everywhere for the time being

a real river did not arise,

the clouds didn't float in the river! *1

The years spent in the village turned out to be the most fruitful.

During his seventeen years of stay in the village of Tetyushskoye, he published three collections -

in 1958, 1960, 1963.

The older generation of the village still remembers Nikolai Romanovich Sidorov, and many say that they are proud that such a wonderful, modest, intelligent person, creative personality, poet Nikolai Ryabinin worked at our school.

Conclusion.

While studying and researching the life and work of Nikolai Ryabinin, I discovered the fact that there is very little modern literature covering the personality of N. Ryabinin. And what’s even worse is that it’s hard to find books by the poet himself.

But Nikolai Ryabinin deserves to be remembered, not forgotten, and studied his work. After all, not everyone manages to grow from a simple village boy born in a remote village into a poet who deserves to be accepted into the USSR Writers' Union.

He was able to prove with his poems that he is a real poet.

The main themes of Ryabinin’s work are about the past war, working people, the Russian village, and nature - and are still relevant today. His poems, simple at first glance, contain deep meaning. His poems are filled with subtle emotional experiences and deep thoughts about time and himself, about the connection between the past and the present.

Nikolai Romanovich Ryabinin (Sidorov) left an indelible mark in the souls of his students and colleagues at Tetyushskaya Secondary School. Based on their memories, it can be testified that he was as talented in teaching as he was in writing poetry.

The image of N.R. Ryabinin - honest, kind and talented - lives in the heart of everyone who knew him.

And his poems will live long, because they real.

The sound of the wind barely touches the ear -

Slow down and suddenly be surprised:

Where is he from when everything around is so deaf,

Seems distant, but familiar sound?

Who has been gone for a long time.

You will hear from the blooming meadow,

How you sang when you were seventeen.

The surroundings will ring with harmonics,

Some festive people are walking somewhere...

What happened will never return.

But the memory will suddenly come to life.* 1
