OUR STORY - HEROES ... "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" " "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" " "" "" "" "" "" "" On October 26, 1943 by the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR for the exemplary fulfillment of combat missions of the command on the front of the fight against the Nazi invaders and the courage and heroism of the guards displayed at the same time, Lieutenant Konstantin Iosifovich Nedorubov was awarded the title of Hero Soviet Union with the presentation of the Order of Lenin and the Gold Star medal. He fought for Russian empire and for the Soviet Union, for white and red, having earned 11 heavy wounds and great glory as a true hero of the Fatherland. Bullet in the cradle The story of this man may seem like a myth, an unbelievable thing. If they say about others that they walk under death, then the brave Cossack Kostya Nedorubov lived under death. Or rather, not so - with his pood fists and his iron character, he so intimidated the unfortunate old woman with a scythe that she came to him only when he himself allowed her. They still argue about his biography - there were too many sharp turns in it, each of which could be the last. What and how it really was, only he knew himself, but he was in no hurry to share with others. In the Soviet period, the biography of Konstantin Nedorubov began with the words "born into a poor Cossack family." The fellow countrymen disagree - the Rubezhny farm, where the Nedorubovs lived, was prosperous, and in the family of little Kostya there was even a tureen, which was then considered practically a luxury item. Konstantin Nedorubov was born on May 21, 1889, and "announced" his future exploits while still in the cradle. According to tradition, newborn boys in Cossack families were put in a cradle with a bullet, watching the baby's reaction. Kostya grabbed the bullets into his fist, after which the men said approvingly: "The good Cossack will grow up!" For the first time, Kostya was put on a horse at the age of two, and from that moment he began to master the entire course of the Cossack military art. The bone in the throat Ros Konstantin is a real hero - by the age of 18, even adult villagers feared his fists. He carried heavy sacks of grain with such ease, as if they were not sacks at all, but balloons. Konstantin Nedorubov, who was already married by that time, was drafted into the army in 1911, enrolled in the 15th Don Cossack regiment of the 14th army corps. The corps was commanded by General Brusilov - the one who would later develop and implement the legendary Brusilov Breakthrough. The regiment was quartered in Poland, where the First Cossacks found World War ... The hero himself always talked about his exploits with humor. Once called him, the regimental intelligence officer, commander Samsonov and said: "Help, brother, a bone in my throat is stuck!" The Cossack was at a loss and began to make excuses: I, they say, am not a doctor, I do not understand this. The headquarters officers burst out laughing and explained: the German battery was interfering with the troops, to which no one could get close. We decided to send scouts headed by Nedorubov. The Cossacks did not disappoint - they got close to the gunners, blew up their ammunition, and took the gun crew prisoner. For this feat, Konstantin Nedorubov received his first St. George Cross. Between the Reds and Whites And then the feat followed the feat - saving the headquarters from a sudden attack of the Austrians, capturing 52 enemy soldiers alone, decisive actions and personal courage during the Brusilov breakthrough ... In November 1917, in a hospital, Konstantin Nedorubov became a full Knight of St. George, having received a cross of the 1st degree for the capture of the enemy headquarters with secret documents and German generals. In addition to the four St. George's crosses, the lieutenant Nedorubov was awarded two St. George medals for military courage. After the hospital, the hero returned to his native Don, but the flames of the Civil War were already engaged there. The Knight of St. George, Nedorubov, was an apolitical man, and in three years of the First World War he fought his fill. However, there are times when if you are not involved in politics, then she will take care of you. In May 1918, the 29-year-old Cossack was mobilized by the Whites to serve in the 18th Don Cossack Regiment of the Don Army. What began next characterizes well what happened on the Don and in the country as a whole. In the same 1918, Nedorubov was captured by the Reds, who ... offered to go over to the side of the working class. The Cossack was persuaded, or in this way he wanted to save his life, it is not known, but only soon Nedorubov was already fighting in the ranks of the Red Army. And in 1919 ... was captured by the whites. The fierceness of the war was growing, and they would have put him against the wall, but out of respect for the merits of the full Knight of St. George, Nedorubov was asked, as you might have guessed, to join the White Army. And he again found himself in the camp of the White Guards, in order to soon go back to the Reds. A forced labor drummer Nedorubov fought bravely, having risen to the rank of squadron commander and distinguished himself in the defense of Tsaritsyn. For battles with Wrangel, he was even presented to the Order of the Red Banner, but the hero's award was not found. But the Cossack was awarded with red revolutionary trousers, which were glorified by the film "Officers". Konstantin Nedorubov ended the Civil War as a regiment commander with eight wounds and a keen desire never to take up arms again. The Cossack was never shy about his merits and the St. George's crosses, for which he was once caught drunk by a patrol who considered him a counter-revolutionary. But when they looked at the inscription on the seized saber, they were stunned - “To the squadron commander, - ed.) Konstantin Nedorubov for unparalleled heroism and courage in the defense of Tsaritsyn. Budyonny ". The hero was immediately released with an apology. But during the famine of the 1930s, Nedorubov became a victim of someone's dastardly denunciation - during the sowing season, as a foreman, he allowed the collective farmers, who were reeling from malnutrition in the wind, to cook a soup of seed grain. They "sewn" him the theft of grain and gave him 10 years, which Konstantin Nedorubov spent on the construction of the Moscow-Volga canal. The Cossack worked there like a damned one, and at the end of the construction he was released ahead of schedule, as a shock worker. 70 fascists in one fell swoop However, by the beginning of the Great Patriotic War Konstantin Nedorubov was listed on the NKVD lists as unreliable. The Hitlerites were counting on people like him who had a grudge against the authorities. Many of them will indeed later join the SS Cossack units of General Krasnov, but Nedorubov had his own opinion on this matter. He was already 52 years old, and he did not get drafted into the Red Army, and he was not taken to volunteers because of a criminal record. But the complete Georgievsky cavalier went through the chain of command and obtained permission to fight the fascists. Moreover, he himself formed a squadron of volunteers, becoming its commander. It was an amazing military formation, the backbone of which was 50-60-year-old Cossacks. But they fought in such a way that even the hardened Nazis were terrified. In the battle under the now infamous village of Kushchevskaya, something happened that is sometimes shown in Hollywood films, and the reality of which is almost impossible to believe. However, witnesses confirm that Konstantin Nedorubov personally destroyed 70 enemy soldiers. In one of the battles in the Caucasus, he roused his fighters to attack with a Cossack song and threw the Nazis from a strategic height. Only another severe injury could stop him, after which he was finally discharged. Two epochs on one breast on October 26, 1943 by the decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR Konstantin Iosifovich Nedorubov was awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union. He became one of six full Georgievsky knights who were awarded the highest Soviet award. He met the victory over Germany with the rank of captain, with 11 wounds and a severe concussion. Despite his wounds, he took part in the Victory Parade and attended a reception with Stalin. After the war, Konstantin Nedorubov was often invited to solemn events, celebrations, but he did not really like to act in this role. Until the very old age, he chopped wood himself, ran the household, loved to drink, ran after the young ladies and never complained about fate. Konstantin Iosifovich Nedorubov, Hero of the Soviet Union, full Knight of St. George, died on December 13, 1978, just six months before his 90th birthday. When he put on awards, he proudly wore together the star of the Hero of the Soviet Union and St. George crosses... A true hero of the Fatherland, he served the Motherland, no matter what political winds blow over it AIF
On June 19, 1992, armored vehicles of the Moldovan armed forces entered the city of Bender. Residents of the city and the PMR self-defense forces entered street battles with them. The desire to drive out the invaders and their fighting spirit were very high. But in terms of firepower, the "Romanians" had an undeniable advantage. Several hundred people died during the day.14 The army, which was commanded at that time by General Netkachev, did not intervene in this conflict, observing neutrality. Despite the requests of the population of Tiraspol for help, Netkachev remained adamant.
The situation in the city around the soldiers of the 14th Army was heating up every day. Trolleybus drivers refused to transport officers. They just stopped the trolleybus and refused to go until the officer left the salon. Some officers, who most acutely felt shame for the inability to protect their people, and, therefore, fulfill their duty, ignored all sorts of prohibitions and calls not to interfere in the conflict and went to positions. They were needed there.
With all the desire of the defenders of Transnistria to fight, their training left much to be desired. Capturing weapons in units and warehouses of the 14th Army, they did not know how to use them correctly. There were cases when fighters, firing an RPG-18 rocket-propelled grenade, better known as "Fly", rested the rear end of the pipe into their stomach or "dashingly" shot "from the hip." Naturally, at best, they injured themselves, and more often they simply died. Therefore, someone had to teach them.
What did the special forces do
The situation changed dramatically with the arrival of A. Lebed. He stopped passive contemplation of the conflict and announced that the Army was going over to active defense. Together with him arrived the 218th battalion of special forces of the Airborne Forces. It was they who performed mainly special tasks.The 818th company, which was part of the Army, also took part in initial stage conflict. Nevertheless, it should be said that the personnel of the company was very well trained.
A company is the unit that has priority in the selection of personnel in the Army. When recruits arrived in the Army, we could select one soldier from several hundred people. At the time, when I was deputy company commander, there were several guys in groups with unfinished higher education... Secondary engineering was also not uncommon. Ordinary ten-year graduates were rare. It is clear that these guys had a very high learning ability. The desire to learn was the same.
I just arrived from Afghanistan then. I had experience and knowledge. So I decided to pass on my experience and knowledge to these guys. True, by the time of the conflict, neither me nor those soldiers were in the company. But, nevertheless, the level of training, as before, remained high.
Almost immediately with the outbreak of hostilities, the company was assigned the task of protecting and defending the Dniester State District Power Plant and its dam. It was an object of particular importance. If it were possible to blow up the dam, then part of Transnistria would be flooded.
During the conflict, officers sometimes went out to fight snipers, but it was all very messy. The company groups periodically went to the rear of the Moldovans, where they conducted reconnaissance, but there was no planned work, as in Afghanistan. The company also did not conduct any special actions.
In general, during the conflict, a terrible mess was happening, which, according to the descriptions of eyewitnesses, resembled a mess civil war in Russia at the beginning of the century.
After the 218th battalion, having worked for a month and a half, returned to Bear Lakes, the company was mainly used to guard high-ranking officials and visiting generals.
Special militia units
However, officers formerly in the company played a role in the training and leadership of the militia. For example, the former commander of the 818th company, Valery Efremov, was a deputy commander in the special forces detachment of the Transnistrian state security with the sonorous name "Delta". As far as I know, they had good results.During the conflict, I already commanded a company in the reconnaissance battalion. We were instructed to form and prepare three groups for action behind Moldovan lines. The military commissariat recruited sixty former athletes and former elite troops. We divided them into three groups, hastily prepared and began to apply. The peasants were diligent and grasped knowledge on the fly. Therefore, they worked in the rear of the Moldovans very efficiently, although often "overfulfilling" the task. We sent them mainly for intelligence purposes. They, having completed the task and returning to the base, organized a small war in the rear of the "Romanians". After the victims of the beginning of the conflict, their hands were itching very much. They returned with practically no ammunition.
On April 15, 2014, First Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine Vitaliy Yarema announced that a unit of the 45th Guards Regiment of the Russian Airborne Troops, stationed in Kubinka, Moscow Region, is operating in the East of Ukraine. His servicemen have been identified.
