On February 11, 1930, Valya Catik was born - the youngest hero of the Soviet Union, a young partisan scout. Along with him, the pilots made a lot of children. We decided to recall a few more pioneers-heroes of World War II.

Valya cat

1. Valya Kotik was born in the peasant family in the village of Khmelevka Shepetovsky district in the Kamenets-Podolsk region of Ukraine. This territory was occupied by German troops. When the war began, Valya only moved to the sixth grade. However, the feats committed a lot. Initially, he was working on the collection of weapons and ammunition, painted and put out caricatures on the Hitlerians. Then the teenager entrusted more significant work. On the Boy's account, the work is connected in an underground organization, several fights in which he was twice wounded, the rupture of the telephone cable, according to which the invaders were communicated with Hitler's bid in Warsaw. In addition, Valya undermined six railway echelons and a warehouse, and in October 1943, being in the dosor, he threw grenades to the enemy tank, killed a German officer and warned a squad about the attack on time, thereby saving soldiers' life. The boy was mortally wounded in battle for the city of Izyaslav on February 16, 1944. After 14 years, he was assigned the title Hero of the Soviet Union. In addition, he was awarded the Order of Lenin, the Order of the Patriotic War of I degree and the medal "Partizana of the Patriotic War" of the II degree.

Peter Klypa

2. When the war began, Pete Klype was the fifteenth year. On June 21, 1941, Petya, along with another Kolya Novikov, a boy older than him for a year or one and a half, who was also a pupil in Musevoda, watched a movie in the Brest Fortress. It was especially crowded there. In the evening, Petya decided not to return home, but to spend the night in the barracks along with the king, and the ongoing boys were going to go fishing. They still did not know that they would wake up among the rumbling explosions, seeing blood and death around themselves and death ... Storming the fortress began on June 22 in the third hour of the night. I jumped out of bed Petya explosion dropped onto the wall. He hit and lost consciousness. Having come to himself, the boy immediately grabbed the rifle. He coped with the excitement and helped to all the senior comrades. On the next days of Defense Petya went to intelligence, buried ammunition and medical drugs for the wounded. Having risked life all the time, Petya performed difficult and dangerous tasks, participated in the battles and at the same time was always cheerful, cheerful, constantly fished some kind of song, and one type of this removed, a nonsense boy raised the spirit of the fighters, added to them. What can I say: He chose a military calling for himself, looking at the older brother Lieutenant, and wanted to become a commander of the Red Army (from the book S.S. Smirnova "Brest Fortress" - 1965) By 1941, Petya has served for several years In the army as a pupil of the regiment and during that time he became a gas principle.
When the situation in the fortress became hopeless, children and women decided to send to capture to try to save. When Petya was told about it, the boy was outraged. "Isn't I Red Army?" He asked the commander with indignation. Later, the pet with comrades managed to swim the river and break through the German Ring. He was captured, and even there Petya could distinguish. The guys were attached to a large column of prisoners of war, which was led by a strong bug. They were removed by a group of German operators - for military chronicles. Suddenly, the whole black from dust and powder soot, a half-dressed and bloody boy, walking in the first row of the column, raised his fist and shook straight into the cinema lens. I must say that this act didn't take a joke to the Germans. The guy almost killed. But he stayed alive and lived for a long time.
It does not fit in the head, but the young hero was planted for the fact that he did not submit to a comrade committed a crime. Of the 25 years on Kolyma he spent seven.

Vilor Chekmak

3. The fighter of the partisan resistance Vilor Chekmak to the beginning of the war only graduated from 8 classes. The boy had a congenital heart disease, despite this, he went to war. A 15-year-old teenager at the price of his life was saved by Sevastopol partisan detachment. On November 10, 1941, he was in the dosor. The guy noticed the approach of the enemy. Warning a detachment about the danger, he alone accepted the fight. Vilor was shooting, and when the cartridges ended, let the enemies toward himself and undermined himself with the grenade fascists. He was buried on the cemetery of war veterans in the village of Dergachi near Sevastopol. After the war, the birthday of Vilora was the afternoon of young defenders of Sevastopol.

Arkady Kamanan.

4. Arkady Kamanin was the youngest pilot of the Second World War. He began to fly when he was only 14 years old. This is not surprising at all, given that before the boy's eyes had an example of a father - a famous pilot and a military leader N. P. Kamanin. Arkady was born in the Far East, and fought later on several fronts: Kalininsky - from March 1943; 1st Ukrainian - from June 1943; The 2nd Ukrainian - since September 1944, the boy flew to the division headquarters, on the command points of the regiments, passed the powers to the partisans. The first award a teenager was presented at 15 years old - it was the Order of the Red Star. Arkady saved the pilot, crashed on the neutral strip of the IL-2 attack aircraft. Later, he was also awarded the Order of the Red Banner. The boy died at 18 years old from meningitis. For his, albeit a short, life, he made more than 650 departures and flew 283 hours.

Lenya Golikov

5. Another young hero of the Soviet Union - Lenya Golikov - Born in the Novgorod region. When the war came, he graduated from seven classes. Leonid was a scout 67 detachment of the fourth Leningrad partisan brigade. He participated in 27 combat operations. On the account of the laziness of Golikova 78 killed Germans, he destroyed 2 railway and 12 highway bridges, 2 food-foded warehouses and 10 cars with ammunition. In addition, he was accompanying food bonds, which was taken to Blocked Leningrad.
Especially known for the feat of the lazik of Golikov in August 1942. The 13th of the number he returned from the exploration from the Luga Pskov highway, not far from the village of Varnica Stroorokrasnensky district. The boy threw a grenade and undermined the car with the German Major General of Engineering Troops Richard von Virtsian. The young hero in battle was killed on January 24, 1943.

Volodya Dubinin

6. Volodya Dubinin died in 15 years. The pioneer hero was a member of the partisan detachment in Kerch. Together with two more guys, he wore ammunition, water, nutrition to the partisans, went to intelligence.
In 1942, the boy volunteered to help adult comrades - Sipelam. They cleaned the approaches to the quarries. An explosion occurred - a mine was injured, and with it one of the sappers and Volodya Dubinin. The boy buried the guerrilla in the Ratsky grave. He was posthumously awarded the Order of the Red Banner.
In honor of Volodya, the city was called, streets in several localities, filmed a film and wrote two books.

Marat with sister Ariad

7. Marat Kazay was at the 13th age when his mother died, and they and her sister went to the partisan detachment. Mamu, Anna Kaza, in Minsk, the Germans hung on the fact that she was hiding in her wounded partisans and treated them.
Marat's sister, Ariadna, had to evacuate - the girl froze both legs when the partisan detachment came out of the environment, and they had to amputate. However, the boy refused to evacuation and remained in the ranks. For courage and courage in the battles, he was awarded to the Order of the Patriotic War of the 1st degree, the medals "for courage" (wounded, raised the partisans in the attack) and "for military merit". The young partisan died, having exploded at a grenade. The boy himself undermined himself, so as not to surrender and not to bring trouble on the residents of the nearby village.

Marat Kazei

On the very first day of the war, Marat saw two in the cemetery. One, in the form of a tanker of the Red Army, spoke with a rustic boy:

- Listen, where you have ...

The stranger's eyes were restlessly ran around.

Marat drew attention to the fact that the pistol hung with a tanker almost in the stomach itself. "Our do not wear weapons like that," the boy flashed in the head.

- I will bring ... milk and bread. Now. - He nodded toward the village. - And then let's go to us. Our hut on the edge, near ...

- Put here! - Already quite Osmeleev, ordered a tanker.

"Probably the Germans," thought Marat, "parachutists ..."

The Germans were not discharged on their bomb village. Enemy airplanes flew further to the east. Instead of bombs, the fascist landing fear fell. Parachutists were caught, but no one knew how much they were reset ...

... In the hut rested several of our border guards. Anna Aleksandrovna, Mom Marat, put the cast iron with the cast iron, Krinka Milk.

Marat flew into the hut with this kind that everyone immediately felt something wrong.

- In the cemetery - they!

Border guards fled to the cemetery behind Marat, who led them a short trail.

Noticing armed men, disguised fascists rushed into the bushes. Marat - Behind them. Requering to the edge of the forest, "Tankists" began to shoot ...

... in the evening to the hut Kazyev rolled up a truck. There were border guards and two prisoners. Anna Alexandrovna rushed to his son with tears - he stood on the stage of the cabin, the legs of the boy were in the blood, the shirt is amodran.

- Thank you, Mama! - shook the warriors in turn of a woman's hand. - a bold son was raised. Good fighter!

Ros Marat without Father - he died when the boy was not and seven years old. But Father, of course, Marat remembered: the former Baltic sailor! He served on the ship "Marat" and the name Soryshka wanted to give in honor of his ship.

Anna Alexandrovna, the elder sister Komsomolka Hell and Marat himself - that's the whole family of Cases. Their house - on the edge of the village of Stankovo, at the Highway, which leads to Minsk.

Night and night on this road rose enemy tanks.

Dzerzhinsk, district town, busy with the fascists. Already several times they visited in Stankovo. Bugged in Hatu to Anna Alexandrovna. I broke everything, I was looking for something. Happiness for Kazyev, which was not guessed to raise the Hall in the Seine. There Marat threw cartridges and grenades. For all day, he disappeared somewhere and returned to the closure of the cartridges, then with some part of the weapon.

In the autumn, Marat did not have to run to school, in the fifth grade. The School Building of Fascists turned into their barracks. Many teachers were arrested, sent to Germany. The fascists grabbed And Anna Alexandrovna. Plowed the enemies that she holds a connection with the guerrillas, helps them. And after a few months, Marat and sister learned: their mother Hitler's executioners hung in Minsk, on the Freedom Square.

Marat went to the partisans in the Stankovsky Forest.

... walks on a snowy road a little man. On it a drain fuffy, lapties with onuchi. Through the shoulder perhaps a canvas. Parties - furnaces burned hut. Frames over them hungry crows.

German military cars pass along the road, come across towards and hiking. No one can come to anyone in the head that a partisan scout is on the way. He has a combat, a little bit even a terrible name - Marat. No in the detachment of such a clever scout, like him.

The boy with a beggar goes to Dzerzhinsk, where there are a lot of fascists. Marat knows the streets and buildings well, because I visited the war in the town more than once. But now in someone else, the town became unrecognizable. On the main street, German signs, flags. Before school, there was a gypsum pioneer-relief gypsum figure. In his place now stands the gallows. On the streets a lot of Nazis. Walk, having granted helmets on the forehead. In its own way, they welcome each other, throw the right hand forward: "High Hitler!"

Personalized by the task, he did not notice how to appear on the German officer. Raising the planked glove, the officer squeezedly frowned.

- Uncle! - I groaned Marat. - Serve something, uncle!

... A few days later, the partisan detachment defeated the fascists in Dzerzhinsk at night. And the partisans thanked Marata: helped intelligence. And he was already preparing on another road, the same dangerous and the same distant. Walking cotton had much more than the rest of the fighters. And the dangers ...

Marat went to intelligence and one and together with experienced fighters. I dressed as a subpasom or beggar and went to the task, forgetting about the rest, about sleep, about pain in squeezed to blood legs. And there was no case so that the reconnaissance pioneer returned with nothing, with empty, as they say, hands. Be sure to bring important information.

Marat recognized where the enemy soldiers go for what roads. He noticed where German posts are located, remembered where enemy guns are disguised, machine guns are arranged.

In winter, the partisan brigade is located in the village of Rumok. Every day, Soviet people were walking in a rum - old men, teenagers. They asked them to give them a weapon. Having received a rifle or machine, took partisan oath. Came to squads and women. Potion posts missed them without delay.

Frosty on March 8 on the roads, which led in a rum, large groups of women moved. Many carried the children in their hands.

Women were already at the forest, when three riders flew to the headquarters on trembled horses.

- Comrade Commander! Suitable not women - disguised Germans! Anxiety, comrades! Anxiety!

Connans rushed along the village, raising the fighters. Marat rope ahead. His floors are wide, not in growth, the overcoats were flushed in the wind. And from this it seemed like a rider flies on wings.

Shot shots. Having had a danger, "women" began to fall into the snow. Fallen way you can do well trained soldiers. They melted them and their "babies": they were automata.

The fight began. The bullets have repeatedly rushed over Marat until he shot a team point and covered his horse for the hut. There are also two saddled horses restlessly trampled. Their owners, connected, lay next to the commander Brigade Baranov, were waiting for his orders.

The boy took off the machine, climbing the commander. He looked around:

- A, Marat! Bad are our affairs, brother. Closely approached, Gada! Now Furmanov's detachment to hit them from the rear.

Marat knew that Furmanovtsy kilometers in seven from Rumka. They could really go to the Germans in the rear. "We must inform them!" The boy already wanted to crawl to the horse. But the Combrigs turned to another partisan:

- Come on, George! Download, let not be backed for a minute! ..

But the connected could not even get out of the village. He fell from the horse - squeezed a gunner. It was not destined to slip and the second connected.

Without asking about anyone as a commander, Marat crawled to his Eagle.

- Wait! - Baranov approached him. - Take care of yourself, do you hear? Download straight, so rather will be. We will cover you. Well! .. - Marat felt the prickly cheek of the commander pressed towards his face. - Son ...

Shooting around the enemy, the commander something and then raised his head to look at the field for which the winged horse flew. The rider is almost not visible. He pressed against a horsepower, as if merged with an orly. Up to the saving forest remained a few meters. Suddenly stumbled the horse, and the heart of the commander sank, the eyes involuntarily closed. "Is everything really?" Combrig opened his eyes. No, it seemed, Marat continued to fly forward to turn. Still jerk! Yet…

Everyone who watched Marats shouted "Hurray."

And yet the brigade had to leave the burned village: the partisan intelligence reported that the Germans decided to move tanks and aircraft on the rum.

The detachments left old places.

But after a few months, the partisans returned to the Stankovsky forest.

One day, Marat went to intelligence with Komsomol Master Alexander Rakovich. Intelligence officers left, but something did not return for a long time. In the detachment got worried: did not happen to what? Suddenly hear: the car rushes along the forest lift. The partisans grabbed the weapon, thought - fascists. And as they saw what matter, laughed. In the officer's staff, Marat was squeezed with Alexander. Scouts managed to mined valuable information and the enemy from the nose hijacked the car.

But when "to work", demolitions led by Mikhail Pavlovich, the former Stankov teacher, Marat himself accompanied them with envious eyes. I have long wanted to go with Mikhail Pavlovich on the railway.

- You stick to me like a ray! - once the Minor said. - We now go to a friend Barana. What he decides.

However, a lot of Mikhail Pavlovich depended. He turned the conversation so that the Baranov answered:

"Well, I don't mind," and, turning to Marat, said: "You, son, pass our income to our income and take away." The road you have a hard one.

In the group Mikhail Pavlovich, ten people. I had to be very careful all the way, making your way past the enemy posts and stamped.

On the second day, the group came to the village deep log. There was a guerrilla connected. To move on, it was necessary to learn from him, do not threaten the demolitions danger. Walking in a deep log day was too risky. And wait to darkness - meant to lose a lot of time.

And then Marat suddenly suggested:

- I'm going!

He pulled out from the backpack with onuchi, washed with a hat. All this he grabbed with him just in case.

Quickly changing, Marat went to a quiet, deserted village. The partisans tried not to let him out of sight, in the case of which they were ready to immediately come to revenue. But everything went well. After half an hour, Marat returned to his comrades.

- Mikhail Pavlovich! Through a deep log in the morning, the Germans were passing out. Man forty. They are in Vasilyevka now. It is impossible to go to the bridge: ambushes.

From the report of intelligence, demolitions understood: to walk and walk now by their bypass paths.

They went partisans with a step - the Guska, at a distance of two or three meters from each other. Steps accurately track in the next. Marat had to jump to get into the trail.

April snow on the roads became watery. And the legs often fell to the water.

Testaled. From time to time, rockets took off, illuminating the entire district. Then the fighters fell on the murzlut earth. Marat hurt his hand. It was painful. He barely cried out. Lyzhka on mob in the snow, Marat clearly heard meters in ten German speech. It became colder. Wet branches crushed. When the partisans divered their hand, they rang.

The back of Marat became wet from sweat, the legs were swapped. He thought only about one thing: "would soon blow up."

What a happy boy seemed like that moment when he saw heno sparks, flying out of the steam locomotive pipe. Mikhail Pavlovich firmly squeezed the boy elbow.

Heavily breathing, they emerged from the darkness of the partisans - they laid explosives. One of them handed over to Mikhail Pavlovich something in his hands and lean. Nearby are the rest.

"So," Mikhail Pavlovich pronounced, "so ... Now you can ... Marat, keep it!" - stretched the boy a subversive machine, from which the electrically car was drawn to mines. - When you say, you turn the handle as I taught you ...

The train went at high speed. Rumped the beep of the steam locomotive, and almost at the same moment Mikhail Pavlovich shouted:

- Come on, Marat!

The boy turned the handle of the subversive typewriter. A short flash illuminated the platform and the guns on them. The rumble drove through the forest.

The hot air wave of Marat pushed back. But he did not disappear from the railway canvas. Wagons with a roar rolled under the slope, stuck in each other.

- Leave! - The team of Mikhail Pavlovich sounded. Break through the chain to the agreed place, the guerrillas clearly heard cries of crippled fascist soldiers.

Joy did not leave Marat all the way. "Today and I revenged them!" - Thought the boy, walking for Mikhail Pavlovich.

Mikhail Pavlovich saw all forest paths under her melt snow. Selected from them those led to the partisan camp. Under boots crunched the ice creation. He drove. Again wanted to take the top of winter. But it was already visible: Spring will soon master it.

And mastered!

In May, when Marat Kaziy went to new reconnaissance, Birchi stood stood stood with a green fluff. Ahead was driving the head of intelligence Mikhail Larin.

... drove to the edge.

- On-ka, looked, - Larin handed his binoculars to the boy. - You have a fool's eyes ...

While the scouts rode the forest, it was noticeably so much. We left for the edge of the forest. Marat immediately climbed onto the tree. He managed to see the village lying ahead. For all the signs, the fascists in it were not. Still, Larin decided to wait into the woods and at night to get into the village.

The village seemed to extinct: neither sound, no light. But the scouts knew: silence is deceptive, especially at night. Marat has grown grenades over the belt. And there is a grade horse His step cautiously.

The backyards of the partisans arrived at the hut, which was not standing out among other hut. Larin knocked the handle of the plenty into the window. Nobody answered. It was heard as a calf sighed in Klely.

Knocked back. In the dark window sailed a light candle.

The door is an old man in a cracking shrush. Not asking who complained to him at such a late hour, he missed the guests forward.

"Grandfather, at the dawn we will make up us," Larin said the old Belarusian, silently standing in front of him with a litter of candles. - We are tired ... Yes, let him stop the horses. You are taking them with something.

The owner nodded. Marat was uncontrollably dragged to sleep. Not undressing, he rushed on a rigid shop.

Only closed her eyes as Larin, it was clogged:

- Rather! Fascists!

Marat jumped up, navigated the machine.

- on horseback and to the forest! - commanded Larin. - Keep straight to Bor! And I right ...

Low naked to the horsepower, Marat looked only forward, on the gear edge of the forest, a little prominent in a predawed millet. And the enemy bullets were already flying. Suddenly suddenly shook the machine gun, and the horse under Marat collapsed to the ground. Without feeling pain from falling, Marat ran over the field to the bushes. They were very close, high, thick. "If you just run!" The remaining hundred meters the boy is already plenty - bullets whistled from different sides.

Marat pulled out two grenades because of the belt, put them in front of him.

On the long chain, fascists moved. They went boldly: they knew - in the bushes just one partisan.

Marat did not know that Larin did not have time to get to the forest, which he was killed with a horse in the middle of the field.

The boy had more hope that now, together with him, another automaton will burst into the fascists. After having released a long line, Marat listened. No, he remained alone. It is necessary to save the cartridges.

The enemies climbed, but for some reason they did not shoot. A few minutes later the chain rose.

Here it is approaching the shelter of the young partisan. You can already distinguish that the officer misses the center. Marat was a long aimed at him. The machine, it seemed fascinated himself, viciously and was meto. The fascists again pounded to the ground. And when they rose, the officer was no longer. Yes, and the chain was noticeably kept.

Marat risen to a trembling machine. And then the cartridges ended! Fascists as if they felt it. They already fled, bypassing a shrub on both sides. And only now Marat understood: they want to grab alive.

Marat waited until the Nazis ran at all closely. Hoked in them a grenade. Wild cries and moans were heard. Now the boy rose to the whole height:

- Take me! Well!

In the fist, Marat squeezed the second, that's - that's ready to break the grenade. But did not let her out of her hands. There was an explosion!

From the explosion, a few more nazis.

To the place where "held the defense" young partisan scout, new veins come.

Over the fun green glades is easy smack.

What they are thickened in the birds of birds.

There are residents of the surrounding villages set a monument.

Marata, in the village of Stankovo, go and go squads of pioneers.

Many kilometers pass guys to look at the Old Stankovsky Park, on the river and the Khatka behind the river. The same boy lived in it that he was the hero of the Soviet Union in her 14 years,

For participation in combat operations, the young partisan was awarded the medal "for military merit", the medal "For the courage", the Order of the Patriotic War I degree.

On May 9, 1965 by the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, Marat Casey posthumously awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union.

The glorious name of Marat Kazewoman is worn by many pioneer detachments.

Every year on May 11, on the day of the death of Marat, his grave gather combat friends, relatives, representatives of various delegations who come to honor the hero's memory.

In Stankovo, on this day, the pioneers of the school number 54 of Minsk come.

Pioneer squad of this school first in Belarus is awarded the name of Marat Kazewoman.

A monument to the young hero is open in Minsk.

Resolution of the Council of Ministers of the RSFSR, one of the ships of the Soviet fleet was assigned the name of Marat Kazewoman.

The war has no face. The war has no age, gender and nationality. War is terrible. War does not choose. Every year we remember the war that claimed millions of lives. Every year we thank those who fought for our country.

From 1941 to 1945, several tens of thousands of juvenile children took part in hostilities. "Sons of the regiment", pioneers - rustic boys and girls, guys from cities - they are posthumously recognized as heroes, although they were much younger than us with you. Along with adults, they suffered in prison, defended, shot, captured, sacrificing their own lives. They ran out of the house to the front to defend their homeland. They stayed at home and suffered terrible deprivation. In the rear and on the front line, they made a small feat every day. They did not have time for childhood, they did not get the years to grow up. They adults in minutes, because the war is not a children's face.

In this selection, only some of the stories of children who dressed on the front line for their own country; children who committed such actions on which adults were scary to think about; Children, who war deprived childhood, but not the power of the Spirit.

Marat went to the partisans. He went to intelligence, participated in the raids and undermined the echelons.

And in May 1944, when performing the next task, near the village of Horomitsky Minsk region, a 14-year-old fighter died. Returning from the task together with the intelligence commander, they came across the Germans. The commander was killed immediately, and Marat, shooting, harboring in a hollow. It was nowhere to go, the teenager was seriously injured in his hand. While there were cartridges, held the defense, and when the store was empty, took the last weapon - two grenades from the belt. One threw in Germans at once, and with the second waited: when the enemies came closely close, blew themselves with them.

In March 1943, Sasha, along with a friend, escaped from lessons and went to the front. He wanted to get to a part where his father served as the commander, but he met the wounded tanker, who fought in the father's department. Then he learned that the father got the news from his mother about his escape and on arrival it was waiting for a terrible catch-up. It changed the boy's plans, and he immediately attached to the tankers who were sent to the rear for re-formation. Sasha lurled them, which remained very alone. So in 12 years he became a soldier, the "Son of the Regiment".

Several times successfully walked into intelligence, helped destroy the train with German ammunition. At that time, the Germans caught the boy and, Rashev, were beaten for a long time, and then crucified - knitted hands with nails. Sasha saved our scouts.

Lenya Golikov, 16 years

When the war began, Lenya got a rifle and went to the partisans. Slender, little growth, he looked under his hence for another 14 years. Under the guise of a beggar, I walked around the villages, collecting the necessary data on the location of the fascist troops and the number of their military equipment, and then passed this information to the partisans.

In 1942, he joined the partisan detachment. I went to intelligence, brought important information. One fight Lena led alone against the fascist general. Pomegranate, abandoned by a boy, hit the car. A nickname was getting out of her with a briefcase in his hands and, shooting, rushed to run. Lenya - behind him. Almost a kilometer he pursued the enemy and killed him. Important documents were in the portfolio. Then the headquarters of the partisan immediately crossed the paper by plane to Moscow.

Volodya Buryak, under 18

How many years exactly was Volodya - unknown. We only know that in June 1942, when Vova Buryak walked Jung on the ship "impeccable" with his father, he has not yet achieved a call age. The boy's father was the captain of the vessel.

June 25, the ship took the cargo in the port of Novorossiysk. Before the crew stood the challenge to break into the deposited Sevastopol. Then Vova fell ill, and the ship doctor prescribed the guy bed regime. In Novorossiysk, his mother lived, and he was sent to be treated home. Suddenly Vova remembered that I forgot to tell the partner by the calculation, where he put one of the spare parts of the machine gun. He jumped out of bed and ran to the ship.

Sailors understood that this swimming was most likely to be the last, because it became more difficult to break into Sevastopol every day. They left memorable things on the shore and letters with a request to transfer them to their relatives. Learning about what is happening, Volodya decided to stay on board the destroyer. When the father saw him on the deck, the guy replied that he could not leave. If he, the Captain's Son, will leave the ship, then everyone will definitely believe that the ship will not return from the attack.

Pioneer hero Marat Kazai was born in 1929 in the family of fiery Bolsheviks. Call it with such an unusual name in honor of the seating vessel of the same name, where his father was serving 10 years.

Soon after the start of Great Patriotic War, Marat began to actively help partisans in the capital of Belarus, she shelted fighters with injuries and helped them recover for further fighting. But the fascists learned about it and watched a woman.

Soon after the death of Mother Marat Kazei and his sister joined the partisan detachment, there the boy began to listed as an intelligence. Bold and flexible, Marat often made his way into the Nazi military units and brought important information. In addition, the pioneer participated in the organization of many sabotage in German objects.

Also, the boy demonstrated his courage and heroism and in direct battle with the enemies - even having wounded, he was going with the forces and continued to attack the Nazis.

At the very beginning of 1943, Marat offered to go to a quiet area, far from the front, accompanying the sister Ariadna, who had significant health problems. Pioneer would be easily released into the rear, as he has not yet reached 18 years old, but I refused the caases and remained to fight on.

Significant feat made Marat Kaza in the spring of 1943, when one of the Belarusian villages Nazis surrounded the partisan detachment. The teenager got out of the rings of the enemies and led the Red Army to help partisans. The fascists dispersed, Soviet soldiers were saved.

There is an alternative opinion of historians that the young hero wanted to prevent the fact that if the Nazis had recognized him, they would cruelly punished the inhabitants of the whole village where he lived.

Pioneer-hero Valentin Kitty was born in 1930 in Ukraine, in the peasant family. When the Great Patriotic War began, the boy managed to relieve only five years. During study, Valya showed himself as a sociable, clever schoolboy, a good organizer and a born leader.

When the Nazis captured the native city of Vali Citics, he turned only 11 years old.

At the very beginning of the Great Patriotic War, his father went to the front. Mother Volodya with him and his sister went to his relatives under Kerch, in the village of Old Quarantine.

Meanwhile, the enemy approached. Part of the population decided to go to the partisans, hiding in nearby quarries. Volodya Dubinin with other pioneers asked them. The chief in the detachment of partisans Alexander Zyabrev, having fallen, agreed. In the underground catacombs there were many bottlenecks, where only children were able to penetrate, and therefore, as he reasoned, they could conduct intelligence. From this, the heroic activity of Pioneer-hero Volodya Dubinin, who has survived the partisans many times.

Since the partisans did not sit silently in the quarries, after the Nazis captured the old quarantine, and all sorts of sabotage arranged them, the Nazis gave them a blockade of Catacombs. They sealed all the exits from the mantomolomanian, pouring them with the cement, and right at that moment Volodya and his comrades made a lot for the partisans.

The boys penetrated the narrow clefts and explored the situation in the old quarantine captured by the Germans. Volodya Dubinin was the most miniature on the physique and once he remained the only one who could get out to the surface. His comrades at this time helped, as they could, distract the attention of the fascists from those places where the outside of Volodya was chosen. Then they actively actively in another place so that Volodya could also go back to the catacombs in the catacombs.

The boys not only explored the situation - they brought ammunition and weapons, medicines for the wounded and did other useful things. Volodya Dubinin differed from all the effectiveness of his actions. He cleverly deceived Nazi patrols, making her way in a quarry, and among other things, accurately remembered important figures, for example, the number of enemy detachments in different villages.

In the winter of 1941, the Nazis decided once and permanently end with the partisans in the quarries under the old quarantine, the bay of their water. A Dubinin who came out in the intelligence in time did not recognize this and promptly warned the underground workers about the insidious intent of the fascists. In order to

have time, he returned to the catacombs in the middle of the day, risking to be seen by the Nazis.

The partisans urgently put the barrier, building the dam, and were saved due to it. This is the most significant feat of Volodya Dubinin, who saved the lives of many partisans, their wives and children, because some went to the catacombs with whole families.

At the time of the death of Volodya, Dubinin was 14 years old. This happened after the new 1942. He went on the orders of the partisan commander in Adzhimushki quarry to establish a connection with them. On the road, he met the Soviet military units, who freed Kerch from the fascist invaders.

It remained only to rescue the partisans from the Kamenolomen, depends on the minefield, which was left behind the Nazis. Volodya became a conductor from sappers. But one of them made a fatal mistake and the boy together with the four fighters blew up on Mine. They were buried in the general grave in the city of Kerch. And already posthumously pioneer hero Volodya Dubinin was awarded the Order of the Red Banner.

After the beginning of the war, German invaders came to this area almost immediately. Girls could not return to parents and stayed at grandmother.

Almost immediately after the start of the war in the area of \u200b\u200bVitebsk, many cells of the underground and partisan detachments were organized to combat the fascists. Zina Portnova became a member of the group "Young Avengers". Their leadership Efrosius Zenakova was seventeen years old. Zina turned 15.

The most significant feat is the case of poisoning more than hundreds of fascists. The girl managed to do it, fulfilling the duties of kitchers. She was suspected of this sabotage, but she sacred poisoned soup itself and retreated from it. She herself miraculously remained alive after that, the grandmother came down with the help of medicinal herbs.

Upon completion of this case, Zina went to the partisans. It became Komsomolskaya. But in the summer of 1943, the traitor revealed the Vitebsk underground, 30 young people were executed. We managed to escape only a few. Zina partisans instructed to contact the saved. However, she did not succeed, she was learned and arrested.

The Nazis knew already that Zina was also as part of the "young avengers", they did not know only that it was poisoned by German officers. She was trying to "split" so that she gave the underground participants who managed to escape. But Zina stood on his own and actively resisted. At one of the interrogations, she snatched Mauser in Germans and shot three fascists. But I could not escape - it was wounded in the leg. Zina Portnova was not able to kill himself - hershed on.

After that, the browsed fascists began brutally torturing the girl. They pushed out his eyes, stuck needles under the nails, burned with a calene iron. She just dreamed of die. After another torture, she rushed under the passing car, but German unhwood was saved to continue torture.

Sasha was learned on a radio lady and successfully tied his detachment with other partisans. Young Komsomolets also arranges very productive sabotage to the Nazis on the railway. Chekalin often sits in ambushes, punishes the faders, undermines the enemy posts.

At the end of 1941, Alexander was seriously ill with a cold, and that he could, the partisan command sent him to the teacher in one of the villages. But when Sasha got to the marked place, it turned out that the teacher was arrested by the Nazis and taken out to another settlement. Then the young man climbed into the house where they lived with their parents. But the elder-traitor traveled him down and told the Nazis about his arrival.

The Nazis besieged the native House of Sasha and ordered him to go out with his arms raised. Komsomolo started shooting. When the ammunition was dried, Sasha threw a "lemon", but she did not explode. The young man grabbed. Almost a week he was very cruel, demanding information about partisans. But Cheklenin said nothing.

Later, the Nazis hanging the young man in front of the people. They attached a sign to the dead body that it was executed by all partisans, and it hung in this form three weeks. Only when Soviet soldiers finally released the Tula region, the body of a young hero with honor was restored in the city of Likhvin, which was later renamed Chekalin.
