heroically defended the approaches to mogilev. for 24 years working at the museum of local lore. alexandra burakova has told this story hundreds of times. in july forty-first, quiet calm mogilev becomes an arena of military operations. on june 22, 1941, when the great patriotic war began in the city of mogilev , it was planned to hold a dress rehearsal for the all-belarusian physical culture parade. in the evening, the parade participants were supposed to go to minsk, but they learned about... the war, then on the first

day of the war, june 22, no one knew that in a few days mogilev would become front-line, and military operations would take place around the city. for mogilev, the war began not with shelling, but with silence. the city started refugees appear from occupied territories. on june 25, new units of the red army arrive here, the government is evacuated, it actually becomes the capital of the bssr, and on july 1 , a meeting is held at the headquarters of the western front with the participation of soviet party activists, marshals, shapushnikov and voroshilov. the organization of the defense of the city on the dnieper fell on the shoulders of the meeting participants. konstantin grigorievich, you will sleep through the entire war. i would like to joke, but i haven’t gotten over this news yet. i only

found out at the station in mogilev. june 22, 1941 police lieutenant konstantin vladimirov arrived in mogilev, where he heard about the beginning of the war on peron. five days earlier, vladimirov took his wife and son to his homeland, vroslavl, a city in the smolensk region, and i hope to join them on vacation soon. evgeniy kovalenok, ex- officio chairman of the regional council of police veterans, is one of those who knows everything about the battalion. when you read vladimirov’s profile, you are surprised that with a fifth-grade education , he spoke several languages, languages, including latin. his mother was an epic story, he there was a large family, two brothers and three sisters who lived with them. in the seventeenth year he volunteered to join the partisans. roslavl in the smolensk region.

soon he will have to lead a consolidated police battalion for the defense of the city; before the war in 1940, he was sent to oryol as the head of combat service training of the department, but at that time in the forties, after the thirty-ninth year, when the reunification took place, which means the western regions of belarus with the eastern, that is, she has fully recovered, police officers naturally they were now sent to the western side to provide assistance. in the organization of the police, and therefore from russia they were sent here to the mogilev region, so he arrived here, the western front was defeated in a week, he came under attack from the largest german group of the army center, divisions of tank

groups hoth and gudarian poured in. on july 3 , wehrmacht chief of staff franz halder wrote: it would not be an exaggeration to say that the campaign against russia... was won within 14 days. alexey tyutyunkov, candidate of historical sciences. all began with alexey studying the military exploits of his grandfathers. one went through the entire war, ending it in prague, the second died near mogilev on the twenty-eighth day. where he is buried now is still unknown. gradually, alexey became interested in combat. history of the native land. today he is one of those who study the military archives of mogilev and participate in search activities. during the first days of the war, a fairly large police garrison gathered, about one and a half thousand people. these figures are confirmed by archival

sources. these were policemen who evacuated from the already occupied territories, firstly, some of the police, about 800 people, were sent to the people. pusa began to advance to the line of the dnieper and western dvina rivers in order to launch an offensive in the moscow direction. the key point on the dnieper was mogilev with its crossings and railway junction. the military also understood this. at the beginning of july forty-one

, armored units of ruderian’s second tank group began to arrive at mogilev. first of all this. 3rd panzer division general model, from the side of buinich, from the side of the minsk highway , the grossdeutschland regiment, the reich ss division were moving, and from the side of shklov, that’s where we are now, not far from the highway, reconnaissance, advanced units of just these german units that were preparing to crossing the dnieper. nikolai borisenko, historian.

historical decisions: not to surrender the city until the last minute, to create a powerful line of defense along the dnieper, because there is no such water line before moscow, soviet troops are being brought here, a second echelon is being formed defense, mogilev begins to dig in. on june 28, 1941, the preparation of defensive fortifications around the city of magilevo began, and literally in 6-7 days

two lines of fortifications were prepared, and one of the lines was an anti-tank ditch, which... already on july 3 , reconnaissance detachments went to the distant approaches to the city germans. by this point, the defenders had built massive defensive fortifications, laid extensive minefields, and fortified houses. shoulder to shoulder with citizens and soldiers. the police are also preparing for the fight, they support order, protect the city from marauders,

resist saboteurs, they were placed at the disposal of the military commandant of the city , colonel voevodin, that is, the main military commander in the garrison, and they were given tasks depending on the situation, if it is necessary to urgently evacuate some large enterprise, this is security of this enterprise and its property during movement.

by this time, bombs had already rained down on the city. this was already the second war on his account, and the army suffered serious losses. on duty, the soldiers in blue tunics began to perform combat missions. surviving policemen constantly mention that they fought against dzersan groups.

at the request of the order , the commander of the 172nd rifle division, the head of the magilev garrison, created this battalion on july 12, a police battalion consisting of three companies occupies positions in the defense of the city, the first second company takes the line of the old pashkova gai, this is one of tank-dangerous directions, the third company takes up the defense of the minsk highway and...

that means they stretched all the way to the village of

pashkova, which means i also dug these trenches here. despite the passing decades, sofya veraksa still remembers how the war began in her home village of gai, which was defended by the police. at that time she was 14 years old. everyone was in the trenches and waiting for the germans to come.

a sedate road that leads to the railway station, the cherezlovskoe highway, and here it is from the point of view of tactics, it is very important here, the dubrovenka river, it seems to be small, but it was so swampy, there the heights are about 30-40 m high, here walks along the edge of the forest, there’s no sign of her there you can’t drive a tank, the only way is the bridge, this small bridge and dubrovenka, that’s why...

simonov arrives in the city, he is impressed that there is relative order in the city, that there are canteens, refugees can eat in the canteens, and the canteens are open for free , it seemed that every defender of the city had such a selfless impulse, having received a rebuff near the village of buynichi, the advanced divisions began

to break through in other directions, mogilev was engulfed more and more tightly, the traffic police could not hold the village, he withdrew his fighters from there, leaving several policemen in order to create the appearance of defense of the village of gai. the germans, naturally, brought down all the ammunition, their everything, on the village of gai in order to break through the first line and, but when they went on the attack, vladimir, the flank fighters hit, then they captured the first, which means

trophies, this is a heavy machine gun, a large number pomegranate and also. there were four guns and the german was in command, which means fay, fay, fay, they were shooting, i thought they were shooting at mogilev.

30, or maybe 40, a tent full of wounded germans was, having crossed the dnieper, parts of motorized gudarian's corps, having bypassed mogilev, united in chaus, closing a ring around the defenders, the city found itself in complete isolation. on july 15, the germans attacked the heights where the police were entrenched several times; due to serious losses, the main forces moved to the village of gai, and a third was brought here. the police unit fought holding battles and continued to desperately resist. from the report of konstantin vladimirov to the commander

of the combined regiment vasily katyushin. the police battalion repelled six attacks by superior enemy forces, supported by artillery and mortar fire and aviation. destroyed up to 400 soldiers and officers, 30 were captured. our losses, 118 soldiers, middle-ranking sergeants, died, every second of those remaining in the ranks. injured. during the seventh attack , the enemy captured old pashkovo, and i am planning a counterattack with all available forces to restore the situation. i'm running out of ammunition, i'll hold out for 10-12 hours, i'm asking for help. but no help came. by this time the entire city was under siege. it’s difficult to say how many attacks they repelled, but at least. respects what it is young guys armed with light small arms, nogan rifles, grenades, which held up under fire from mortars, heavy,

heavy artillery, nebelwerfers, the so -called, these are german rocket shells, well, to give you an idea, each of these shells contains about 50 kg of explosives , these are huge losses, a huge number of wounded, the cartridges have run out. ammunition ran out, so their feat is beyond doubt, one can only admire their courage, counterattack, where the police lieutenant was mortally wounded, from vladimirov, the family he took to vroslav a few days before the start of the war received only one letter. by that time he was no longer alive. there was a machine gun here, maxim, maxim, these are

policemen, that’s right, yes, yes, they were shooting here at the village, they wanted to knock out the germans from this, from the village, from this, from this side, and... when the battle was already over there , there were five people lying here, there were still dead, and there were wounded, there was a cry, and groans, it didn’t last long, this is a recording of an interview from 2009, it’s more likely here all i remember is the last battle of vladimirov’s battalion at this height, at this time...
