the volga islands were ironed every day by enemy aircraft. how yes, so that he would already win from leningrad but, but we didn’t wait or were still going to fight back, we were smart about the defense lines among those who were covered in stalingrad by the artilleryman andreev, he was a lieutenant, cheznichenko, his forty-second division, turned out to be the most infamous of the stalingrad battle. you know, when you remember, stalingrad nurtures the whole body. because how many people we lost there after one of battles from his regiment of 2,000 people, only 80 remained all his life, vasily aleksandrovich remembers what price they paid in that war, therefore, after the nazis burned people in the house of trade unions in 2014, he moved from odessa to the luhansk republic and therefore, says ukrainian

cheznichenko will always be on the side of those who fight fascism and i wish them to win and defeat these. sorry for the bastard expression. so on our land it was not on its page. in social networks, he posts his front-line stories and photographs from travels with remembers with a smile what he was like forty-second , black-eyed lieutenant who had already managed to participate in the defense of moscow. the youngest commander of the katyushka battery in stalingrad, with a firestorm, including his battery, began the long-awaited counteroffensive. artillery was unceasing over a huge cauldron, into which the best army of the top was driven. the team sounded good. ceasefire could have been offended
