Today Russia celebrates the day of military glory - the Day of defeat by Soviet troops Nazi troops in the Battle of Stalingrad (1943). Much has been written about the exploits of the heroic defenders of Stalingrad. And today I want to talk about the legendary Sergeant Yakov Pavlov, who became famous with his comrades in the fall of 1942. Moreover, on October 17, 2017, the country will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the birth of Yakov Pavlov.

So, in October 1917, in an ordinary peasant family in the village of Krestovaya, present-day Novgorod region, a boy was born who received the name Yakov. A few days later, a revolution occurred in Russia, which could not but affect his fate. He got the opportunity to study, but did not have time to test his knowledge in practice, since almost immediately after graduating from school he received a summons to the military registration and enlistment office.

This happened in 1938, when Yakov, three years before the start of the Great Patriotic War, became a fighter in the Red Army. In the summer of 1941, junior sergeant Pavlov took part in his first battle near the city of Kovel. He was the commander of a machine gun squad, then a gunner. Together with his units, he retreated deeper into the country until he ended up in Stalingrad. I ended up in a guards unit, which I was very proud of.

On the night of September 27, 1942, battalion commander Alexei Zhukov ordered the company commander, Senior Lieutenant I. Naumov, to conduct reconnaissance in force in the only four-story building of the regional consumer union that survived the bombing at 61 Penzenskaya Street. The commander sent a group of four scouts to the house, commanded by Guard Sergeant Yakov Pavlov , with the task of gaining a foothold in it and preventing German troops from breaking through to the Volga River in the area of ​​9 January Square (now Lenin Square).

When a legend was sculpted from Pavlov’s House a few years later, it was “added” that Pavlov recaptured the house from the Nazis. At the same time, the number of fascists themselves is modestly kept silent. Most likely, the Germans simply did not have time to get comfortable in this house and also sent scouts to find out the situation. And ours arrived a little later. In any case, Yakov Pavlovich’s memoirs directly indicate that the Germans were living in two apartments in the second entrance on the first floor. Our four burst into the apartments, threw three lemons each into the rooms, and after the smoke from the explosions cleared, they discharged another horn of machine guns into the apartments. And at the same time, only three Nazis were killed, and three more wounded were finished off after they tried to get out of the building.

Since the Nazis, located 200-300 meters from the house in the dark, could not determine the strength of the attackers, they bombed and shelled the house all night, but did not bring any harm to our scouts. And just before the shelling, Pavlov discovered medical instructor Kalinin, who had appeared out of nowhere, in one of the basements, and sent him to battalion headquarters so that he could convey the situation in the house. But he managed to get through to his own people only a day later.

But the commander of the guard regiment, Colonel Elin, having learned that the company commander had sent only four soldiers, gave Alexey Zhukov a formal dressing down, sighing sadly: “They were probably all already dead, they should have sent more.” And then they brought Kalinin into the basement, who gave the battalion commander a note from Pavlov. That same night, reinforcements were sent to the house on January 9 Square, and most importantly, contact was established with the company commander, and the cable was laid by signalmen.

The platoon that arrived at the house was commanded by Guard Lieutenant Ivan Afanasyev. He was entrusted with leading the defense. It was difficult to imagine that in a combat situation a sergeant commanded a lieutenant, especially since the defenders were not “cut off” from command; by and large, Zhukov and Naumov gave instructions. But for some reason it was not Ivan Afanasyev (who remembers him?), but Yakov Pavlov who went down in history. Why?

Everything here most likely lies in the area of ​​ideology. Firstly, the first group was still commanded by Pavlov, and the title of Hero Soviet Union assigned to the first group that crossed the river, broke into the heights, captured fascist trenches, etc. And, secondly, it was more convenient to raise the patriotic spirit of Soviet soldiers as a sergeant. So that other junior commanders show initiative and the ability to take responsibility in battle, so that they do not feel out of place when, for example, officers die. And a lieutenant is supposed to command anyway!

But this does not mean that Pavlov did not show courage. He fought on par with everyone else, and even a little better, if only because, unlike some fighters, he was an experienced warrior who had three years of service before the war and one year of participation in hostilities. And, naturally, it was he who set an example for the soldiers, for he was, as it were, on the same level with them.

One more myth can be debunked. All textbooks say that the house was defended by 24 guardsmen. In fact, the fighting strength of the defenders was constantly renewed, the wounded were sent to the rear (although what kind of rear is there if the Germans are just a stone's throw away). According to the most conservative estimates, there were about three dozen defenders.

The Nazis made dozens of attempts to drive the heroes out of the house, but in vain. How could they survive in this hell? Largely due to the fact that the guards had reserve positions. In front of the house there was a cemented gas storage facility, to which an underground passage was dug. Another convenient position was located behind the house, about thirty meters away, where there was a hatch for the water supply tunnel, into which an underground passage was also dug. As soon as the Nazis opened fire on the house, only those on duty remained at their posts, and everyone else went to shelters. The shelling stopped, and the entire small garrison was again in the house, again mowing down the Fritz who were trying to attack our positions.

The brave Soviet soldiers held out for 58 days and nights. They left the building on November 24, when the regiment launched a counteroffensive. As you might guess, Yakov Pavlov celebrated his 25th birthday within the walls of the house. But neither Pavlov nor his military friends focused attention on how he celebrated the anniversary.

It remains to add that Guard Sergeant Pavlov received the title of Hero of the Soviet Union after the May victory salute, on June 27, 1945. Along with the star, he was also given lieutenant's shoulder straps. The following year, Yakov Fedotovich retired from the army. Then he graduated from the Higher Party School under the CPSU Central Committee. Worked in national economy. Awarded the Order Lenin, order October revolution, 2 orders of the Red Star and medals. By the decision of the Volgograd City Council of People's Deputies of May 7, 1980, Yakov Fedotovich Pavlov was awarded the title “Honorary Citizen of the Hero City of Volgograd.”

Unfortunately, his health, undermined by injuries, significantly shortened the hero’s life. On September 29, 1981, Hero of the Soviet Union Ya. F. Pavlov died. He was buried in the city of Novgorod (now Veliky Novgorod) at the Western Cemetery...

And even though history has preserved only his last name for posterity, he still shared the glory with all his comrades. Each of the surviving defenders of the House has always been the most dear guest in Volgograd. In a city where they did not spare their lives. And it is not so important whose name this House would be named. Veterans generally propose to rename it the House of Soldiers' Glory. Maybe this is right...

Six hours are allocated in high school to study World War II. Unfortunately, beyond a cursory acquaintance with the main events, facts and battles, there remain portraits of real war heroes, examples of feat and dedication ordinary people. For example, such as Pavlov Yakov Fedotovich, whose name is the House of Soldiers' Glory in Volgograd (formerly Stalingrad).

"No step back!"

In July 1942, the Nazis reached the Volga, from where, after the conquest of Stalingrad, they planned to rush to the Caucasus. The Fuhrer’s plans allocated two weeks for the capture of the city, which was of serious strategic importance during the hostilities. An order was received from Stalin: to defend Stalingrad at any cost. In history he is known under the slogan: “Not a step back!”

At that time, Yakov Fedotovich Pavlov, whose photo is presented in the article, served with the rank of sergeant in the division of A.I. Rodimtsev, which arrived at the citadel on the Volga before the heroic defense of the city began. Having settled in Kamyshin, the military conducted exercises, understanding the importance of the upcoming battles. Unable to immediately break into the city, the Nazis began shelling it. On the day of August 23 alone, they dropped so many bombs on Stalingrad that there was no longer a single intact building left in it, and burning oil poured into the Volga. The defenders saw a terrible sight - a flaming avalanche covering the coast.

Street fighting

On September 13, 1942, the Germans broke into the city. General Rodimtsev miraculously managed to stop the enemy’s onslaught a hundred meters from the coastline. The battle was fought for every street and building on the 9th January Square (now Defense Square). Here, any strong building turned into a stronghold capable of holding a perimeter defense.

It was the end of September. One of the four-story brick buildings facing the square had a serious tactical advantage: it offered an excellent overview of the part of the city occupied by the Nazis and the path of their possible breakthrough to the Volga bank. The squad commander, Yakov Fedotovich Pavlov, received from the company commander the task of reconnaissance of the situation in the indicated house at the address: Penzenskaya, 31. With three soldiers, he managed to oust the Germans from the captured building and hold it for two days. In the basement they found local residents taking cover from the fire. Among them was the architect of the house with his pregnant wife, who died during artillery shelling.

On the third day, reinforcements of 24 people arrived: a group of armor-piercing and machine gunners led by Senior Lieutenant I.F. Afanasyev. The garrison managed to turn the object into a Nazi site. It was because of these heroic events that Sergeant Pavlov Yakov Fedotovich became known to the world community.

Feat of the defenders

The Battle of Stalingrad lasted 200 days and nights, 58 of which were fought steadfastly by the defenders of the house known in history as the “House of Pavlov.” The soldiers held out until the Red Army went on the offensive on November 19, 1942, losing only three of their comrades: Private I. T. Svirin, Sergeant I. Ya. Khait and Lieutenant A. N. Chernyshenko. On General Paulus's personal map, the object was marked as a fortress, defended by an entire battalion.

In fact, 24 people, representatives of 9 nationalities, covered their names with glory, striking the enemy with their courage and heroism. The garrison mined the approaches to the house and dug a trench through which contact was maintained with the command. Provisions and ammunition were delivered along it, a field telephone cable passed through, and the wounded were evacuated. The Nazis stormed the building several times a day, but were never able to get above the first floor.

Each fighter was worth an entire platoon, firing through embrasures made in the brick walls. A 24-hour observation post was equipped on the third floor, tracking any enemy movements and opening heavy machine-gun fire when he approached.

A handful of Soviet soldiers became a symbol of resistance to the enemy who had conquered all of Europe. Pavlov Yakov Fedotovich, who fought heroically in the battles on November 25, was wounded in the leg. He was sent to the hospital. Subsequently, together with the 3rd Ukrainian and 2nd Belorussian Fronts, he will march from Stalingrad to the Elbe, receiving the Star of the Hero of the USSR in June 1945.

Fedotovich: biography of a hero

Born in October 1917, the day before, Yakov Fedotovich connected his entire life with his small homeland - the Novgorod region. Place of birth - the village of Krestovaya, from where in 1938, after working in agriculture he will be drafted into the army. He will return here, to the city of Valdai, after mobilization in 1946, receiving the rank of officer.

His career path will be connected with party and economic activities after graduating from the High School under the Central Committee of the CPSU. Repeatedly, the hero of the Great Patriotic War will represent his region in the Supreme Council of the RSFSR, having earned a government award in peacetime. In 1963, together with his wife Nina Alexandrovna and son Yuri, he moved to Veliky Novgorod, where he would work at the Kometa plant. Social activities would bring him to Stalingrad more than once. Here he will meet with the residents who are restoring it from ruins. Among Ya. F. Pavlov's awards is the title of Honorary Citizen of this legendary hero city. Unfortunately, in 1981, the heart of a brave man stopped right on the operating table.

Memory

Pavlov Yakov Fedotovich was buried in the Western Cemetery of his hometown, where a unique monument was created that represents a symbolic brick wall with his bas-relief. There is a memorial plaque on a house in Veliky Novgorod, named after legendary person the ship and the boarding school are named. IN post-war years Millions of citizens from all over the world visited the restored so-called Pavlov's House, crediting the courage and dedication of its defenders.

Yakov Fedotovich Pavlov(October 4 - September 28, 1981) - hero of the Battle of Stalingrad, commander of a group of fighters who, in the fall of 1942, defended a four-story residential building on Lenin Square (Pavlov's House) in the center of Stalingrad. This house and its defenders became a symbol of the heroic defense of the city on the Volga. Hero of the Soviet Union (1945).

Biography

Yakov Pavlov was born in the village of Krestovaya, graduated primary school, worked in agriculture. In 1938 he was drafted into the Red Army. He met the Great Patriotic War in combat units in the Kovel region, as part of the troops of the Southwestern Front.

In 1942, Pavlov was sent to the 42nd Guards Rifle Regiment of the 13th Guards Division under General A.I. Rodimtsev. He took part in defensive battles on the approaches to Stalingrad. In July-August 1942, Senior Sergeant Ya. F. Pavlov was reorganized in the city of Kamyshin, where he was appointed commander of the machine gun squad of the 7th company. In September 1942, in the battles for Stalingrad, he carried out reconnaissance missions.

On the evening of September 27, 1942, Pavlov received a combat mission from the company commander, Lieutenant Naumov, to reconnoiter the situation in a 4-story building overlooking the central square of Stalingrad - January 9th Square. This building occupied an important tactical position. With three fighters (Chernogolov, Glushchenko and Aleksandrov) he knocked the Germans out of the building and completely captured it. Soon the group received reinforcements, ammunition and telephone communications. Together with the platoon of Lieutenant I. Afanasyev, the number of defenders increased to 26 people. It was not immediately possible to dig a trench and evacuate civilians hiding in the basements of the house.

The Germans constantly attacked the building with artillery and aerial bombs. But Pavlov avoided heavy losses and for almost two months did not allow the enemy to break through to the Volga. On November 19, 1942, the troops of the Stalingrad Front launched a counteroffensive. On November 25, during the attack, Pavlov was wounded in the leg, lay in the hospital, then was a gunner and commander of the reconnaissance section in the artillery units of the 3rd Ukrainian and 2nd Belorussian Fronts, in which he reached Stettin. He was awarded two Orders of the Red Star and many medals. On June 17, 1945, junior lieutenant Yakov Pavlov was awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union (medal No. 6775). Pavlov was demobilized from the ranks Soviet army in August 1946.

After demobilization, he worked in the city of Valdai, Novgorod region, was the third secretary of the district committee, and graduated from the Higher Party School under the CPSU Central Committee. Three times he was elected as a deputy of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR from the Novgorod region. After the war, he was also awarded the Order of Lenin and the Order of the October Revolution. He repeatedly came to Stalingrad (now Volgograd), met with residents of the city who survived the war and restored it from ruins. In 1980, Y. F. Pavlov was awarded the title “Honorary Citizen of the Hero City of Volgograd.”

Pavlov is buried in the Alley of Heroes of the Western Cemetery of Veliky Novgorod. There is a version that Pavlov did not die in 1981, but became the confessor of the Holy Trinity-Sergius Lavra, Father Kirill. This information has no confirmation and has been repeatedly refuted.

Before the Revolution

Excerpt characterizing Pavlov, Yakov Fedotovich

“Very good,” answered Nesvitsky.
He called to the Cossack with the horse, ordered him to remove his purse and flask, and easily threw his heavy body onto the saddle.
“Really, I’ll go see the nuns,” he said to the officers, who looked at him with a smile, and drove along the winding path down the mountain.
- Come on, where will it go, captain, stop it! - said the general, turning to the artilleryman. - Have fun with boredom.
- Servant to the guns! - the officer commanded.
And a minute later the artillerymen ran out cheerfully from the fires and loaded.
- First! - a command was heard.
Number 1 bounced smartly. The gun rang metallic, deafening, and a grenade flew whistling over the heads of all our people under the mountain and, not reaching the enemy, showed with smoke the place of its fall and burst.
The faces of the soldiers and officers brightened at this sound; everyone got up and began observing the clearly visible movements of our troops below and in front of the movements of the approaching enemy. At that very moment the sun completely came out from behind the clouds, and this beautiful sound of a single shot and the shine of the bright sun merged into one cheerful and cheerful impression.

Two enemy cannonballs had already flown over the bridge, and there was a crush on the bridge. In the middle of the bridge, having dismounted from his horse, pressed with his thick body against the railing, stood Prince Nesvitsky.
He, laughing, looked back at his Cossack, who, with two horses in the lead, stood a few steps behind him.
As soon as Prince Nesvitsky wanted to move forward, the soldiers and carts again pressed on him and again pressed him against the railing, and he had no choice but to smile.
- What are you, my brother! - the Cossack said to the Furshtat soldier with the cart, who was pressing on the infantry crowded with the very wheels and horses, - what are you! No, to wait: you see, the general has to pass.
But furshtat, not paying attention to the name of the general, shouted at the soldiers blocking his way: “Hey!” fellow countrymen! keep left, wait! “But the fellow countrymen, crowding shoulder to shoulder, clinging with bayonets and without interruption, moved along the bridge in one continuous mass. Looking down over the railing, Prince Nesvitsky saw the fast, noisy, low waves of Ens, which, merging, rippling and bending around the bridge piles, overtook one another. Looking at the bridge, he saw equally monotonous living waves of soldiers, coats, shakos with covers, backpacks, bayonets, long guns and, from under the shakos, faces with wide cheekbones, sunken cheeks and carefree tired expressions, and moving legs along the sticky mud dragged onto the boards of the bridge . Sometimes, between the monotonous waves of soldiers, like a splash of white foam in the waves of Ens, an officer in a raincoat, with his own physiognomy different from the soldiers, squeezed between the soldiers; sometimes, like a chip winding through a river, a foot hussar, an orderly or a resident was carried across the bridge by waves of infantry; sometimes, like a log floating along the river, surrounded on all sides, a company or officer's cart, piled to the top and covered with leather, floated across the bridge.
“Look, they broke like a dam,” the Cossack said, stopping hopelessly. -Are there many of you still there?
– Melion without one! - a cheerful soldier walking nearby in a torn overcoat said winking and disappeared; another, old soldier walked behind him.
“When he (he is the enemy) begins to fry the taperich on the bridge,” the old soldier said gloomily, turning to his comrade, “you will forget to itch.”
And the soldier passed by. Behind him another soldier rode on a cart.
“Where the hell did you stuff the tucks?” - said the orderly, running after the cart and rummaging in the back.
And this one came with a cart. This was followed by cheerful and apparently drunk soldiers.
“How can he, dear man, blaze with the butt right in the teeth…” one soldier in an overcoat tucked high said joyfully, waving his hand widely.
- This is it, sweet ham is that. - answered the other with laughter.
And they passed, so Nesvitsky did not know who was hit in the teeth and what the ham was.
“They’re in such a hurry that he let out a cold one, so you think they’ll kill everyone.” - the non-commissioned officer said angrily and reproachfully.
“As soon as it flies past me, uncle, that cannonball,” said the young soldier, barely restraining laughter, with a huge mouth, “I froze.” Really, by God, I was so scared, it’s a disaster! - said this soldier, as if boasting that he was scared. And this one passed. Following him was a carriage, unlike any that had passed so far. It was a German steam-powered forshpan, loaded, it seemed, with a whole house; tied behind the forshpan that the German was carrying was a beautiful, motley cow with a huge udder. On the feather beds sat a woman with a baby, an old woman and a young, purple-red, healthy German girl. Apparently, these evicted residents were allowed through with special permission. The eyes of all the soldiers turned to the women, and while the cart passed, moving step by step, all the soldiers' comments related only to two women. Almost the same smile of lewd thoughts about this woman was on all their faces.
- Look, the sausage is also removed!
“Sell mother,” another soldier said, emphasizing the last syllable, turning to the German, who, with his eyes downcast, walked angrily and fearfully with wide steps.
- How did you clean up! Damn it!
“If only you could stand with them, Fedotov.”
- You saw it, brother!
- Where are you going? - asked the infantry officer who was eating an apple, also half-smiling and looking at the beautiful girl.
The German, closing his eyes, showed that he did not understand.
“If you want, take it for yourself,” the officer said, handing the girl an apple. The girl smiled and took it. Nesvitsky, like everyone else on the bridge, did not take his eyes off the women until they passed. When they passed, the same soldiers walked again, with the same conversations, and finally everyone stopped. As often happens, at the exit of the bridge the horses in the company cart hesitated, and the whole crowd had to wait.
- And what do they become? There is no order! - said the soldiers. -Where are you going? Damn! There's no need to wait. Even worse, he will set the bridge on fire. “Look, the officer was locked in too,” the stopped crowds said from different sides, looking at each other, and still huddled forward towards the exit.

There is an opinion that Sergeant Pavlov, who heroically defended a famous house in Stalingrad during the Nazi onslaught, supposedly died a long time ago. After one of the publications, the Editorial Office began to receive perplexed calls, asking whether the journalists of the President newspaper had made a mistake? We were not mistaken. And here is an article dedicated to the memory of Sergeant Pavlov, who died a few days earlier.

Sergeant Pavlov (House of Pavlov) - Schema-Archimandrite Kirill

Fate of a Hero Great War- Sergeant Ivan Pavlov

Schema-Archimandrite Kirill (Pavlov) rested in Bose. Last years he adopted the schema with the name Adam. This is the same legendary sergeant Ivan Pavlov, who fought the Third Reich, in front of whose house more Germans died than during the battles in France. The Nazis died near Pavlov’s house without ever reaching the banks of the Volga. They were literally a hundred meters short!

Farewell to Schema-Archimandrite Kirill (Pavlov). Photo by the author

For such a feat, Stalin awarded Pavlov the title of Hero of the Soviet Union and presented Ivan with an apartment in Moscow on Tverskaya Street No. 6, and also offered him a position in General Staff, for which I wanted to assign him the appropriate title - many stars higher.

Prepared resting place in the fence of Schema-Archimandrite Kirill-Adam (Pavlov).

But Ivan Pavlov refused the position, answering Stalin that he had made a vow to the Lord to become a monk if he remained alive after the battles in Stalingrad.

Stalin, as an Orthodox man, did not object and respected the choice of Sergeant Pavlov.

After the murder of Stalin, the Jew Khrushchev-Perlmutter, who closed churches and monasteries, was afraid of the Hero of Stalingrad and did not close only the Sergius Lavra - since it was in it that the monk Kirill (Pavlov), famous throughout the USSR, was located. Khrushchev decided to cunningly lure him to his side and said: since you are a Hero of the USSR, then you need to join the party...

Monk Kirill responded to such a proposal with a categorical refusal. Then the enraged Khrushchev-Perlmutter deprived him of the title of Hero of the USSR, and all the exploits of Sergeant Pavlov were attributed, by order of Perlmutter, to Lieutenant Yakov Pavlov...

After the collapse of the USSR, the Cainites, the son of SS Standartenführer Roediger (Patriarch Alexy) and the nephew of Politburo member Vekselman (Patriarch Kirill) transported Elder Kirill from the Sergius Lavra to Peredelkino.

They hoped that among the mass of priests and monks he would become inaccessible. They dealt with Pavlov in such a way that he would not strengthen his brothers with the Spirit and would not prevent these individuals from corrupting Orthodoxy. And for “their cover” they threw dust in the eyes of believers and announced, that Elder Kirill is their “sort of confessor”...

Just imagine for a moment, could the Highly Spiritual Elder be their confessor and “bless” these soulless, money-hungry petty Cainite hucksters? After all, he knew perfectly well what they were promoting in the form of a “queen” on Russian throne heiress of the Third Reich - daughter of SS Obergruppenführer - Mashu Hohenzollern!

(Please note that on the memorial in Volgograd-Stalingrad there is no name of the hero, either imaginary or real?!

Before the Internet era, and those who studied in schools of the USSR, they must remember that they always talked about Sergeant PAVLOV and his house! Afterwards, Ivan’s name was erased, and the bug-eyed YAKOV Pavlov, a lieutenant, began to be introduced into history. This is how Russian history was rewritten. This is how the history of Ukraine-Little Russia is being rewritten before our eyes, and the “ancient dill” are the ancestors of all humanity.)

Let us remember that it was at Stalingrad that the 6th Army of the Wehrmacht was destroyed, in which those same punitive forces, traitor-collaborators from the USSR, who for the most part subordinated to the SS-Obergruppenführer - Vladimir Kirillovich, served. And many of them left for another world from the fire of Sergeant Pavlov, without taking Stalingrad!

And the enemies of Orthodoxy, Roediger and Gundyaev, faithfully serving the Third Reich, decided to remove Sergeant Pavlov (Elder Kirill) from the road, not by “washing, but by rolling,” to give the Third Reich the opportunity to take revenge for Stalingrad.

This is what became main reason the fact that Elder Kirill was removed from the Lavra and simply “closed” from communication with normal people in Peredelkino, so that he does not prevent these Cainites from creating complete lawlessness in the Church and the country.

Especially after Elder Kirill blessed the Orthodox Patriots who came to him from Kaliningrad and told him about how Roediger and Gundyaev were participating in the project of separating the Kaliningrad region from Russia.

Elder Kirill then fervently prayed that the Cainite scenario of a “Baltic Republic” under the auspices of the European Union would not come true. And through his prayers, the Cainites Roediger and Gundyaev were never able to carry out their plans to glorify Bishop Adalbert of Prague, who had drenched all of Prussia in the blood of the Orthodox.

In Russia at that time, territories remained intact and various Cainite projects in the form of Maidans and swamp areas were stalled for 15 years...

In 2011, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin restored justice and awarded Sergeant Pavlov - Archimandrite Kirill - the Hero of Russia medal.

Several years ago Schema-Archimandrite Kirill (Adam) prophesied: ...after my death Patriarch Kirill will die, and fighting against Russia...

We see that the clouds are gathering over Russia, and the fifth column within the country is doing everything for the rapid collapse of Russia, especially the Cainites at the top of the Moscow Patriarchate, led by Gundyaev, who are in a hurry to please their “Western masters,” are succeeding in this. They are doing everything to ensure that the degradation of the Church proceeds in geometric progression.

But God cannot be mocked, and they themselves will saw off the branch on which they are sitting, after which their fall will be so powerful and sudden that the Russian Orthodox Church will instantly clear itself of all traitors immediately and very quickly, after which the chaos and the country’s fall into the abyss will stop.

It is interesting that Gundyaev constantly faints when entering the altar during the liturgy. And, as Elder Kirill predicted, he will soon fly like a stone to hell. Following the son of SS Standartenführer Roediger. And he will soon put an end to the fate of the remaining Cainites Local Council. It’s just before the war or after - it depends on all of us. Sergeant Pavlov, who fought the Third Reich all his life, did not have time to tell us about this.

Why did the Patriarch and Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation give the icon with the SS man and friend of Hitler to the New Jerusalem Museum?

Russian Maslenitsa is a ritual and astronomical holiday! Is the Christian Church mocking Russian culture?

Is the Russian Foreign Ministry interfering with the investigation into Churkin’s murder?

Dancing on graves: the Russian Foreign Ministry “commemorated” the death of ambassadors Karlov and Churkin in the Kremlin with the music of tribes affected by terrorism!

Our country, having become one of the most famous heroes Battle of Stalingrad. Mention of it can be found today in any history textbook. Commanding a group of fighters, in the fall of 1942 he organized the defense of a four-story residential building on January 9th Square in the center of Stalingrad; this house went down in history as Pavlov’s house. The house itself and, of course, its defenders, became symbols of the heroic defense of the city during the Great Patriotic War.

Yakov Pavlov was born exactly 100 years ago, on October 4 (October 17, new style) 1917 in the small village of Krestovaya (today it is the territory of the Valdai district of the Novgorod region), in an ordinary peasant family, Russian by nationality. A few days after his birth, the October Revolution occurred, followed by Civil War. Jacob's childhood was quite difficult, which was true for the whole country. He only managed to finish elementary school. In 1938, he received a summons and was drafted into the ranks of the Red Army. He met the beginning of the Great Patriotic War in the active army, and fought since June 1941. He met the war near Kovel in Ukraine as part of the troops Southwestern Front.

The plan for the summer-autumn campaign of 1942 of the Nazi troops provided for the capture of Stalingrad and an attack on the Caucasus. The Battle of Stalingrad began on July 17, 1942; from that day until November 18, the Germans did not stop trying to capture this large administrative, industrial and transport center on the Volga. According to Hitler's plans, German troops were supposed to capture Stalingrad, which has enormous strategic importance, in two weeks of fighting, but stubborn resistance Soviet troops in a city destroyed by fighting, all the plans of Hitler’s generals were confused.

In 1942, Yakov Pavlov was sent to the 42nd Guards Regiment of the 13th Guards Rifle Division under General Alexander Rodimtsev. After the defeat of Soviet troops near Kharkov, this division was withdrawn to the left bank of the Volga, where it was reorganized. During the reorganization of the division, Sergeant Yakov Pavlov was appointed commander of the machine gun section of the 7th company. In September 1942, Rodimtsev's division became part of the 62nd Army Stalingrad Front.

The division was tasked with crossing the Volga and knocking out German troops from the coastal strip, occupying and firmly defending the central part of Stalingrad from the enemy. On the night of September 14-15, 1942, the advance detachment of the 42nd Guards Regiment managed to cross the Volga and immediately entered into battle with the enemy. On September 15, soldiers of the regiment recaptured the central railway station, giving the remaining formations of the 13th Guards Rifle Division the opportunity to cross the Volga. On September 16, the 39th Guards Regiment, with the support of the combined 416th Infantry Regiment of the 112th Infantry Division, captured the top of Mamayev Kurgan during an assault and stubborn fighting. From September 21 to 23, the 13th Guards Rifle Division, with the support of front-line artillery, withstood the strongest enemy onslaught, preventing the Germans from reaching the Volga in the central part of the city.

It was in the central part of the city, in the area of ​​January 9th Square (today Lenin Square), that a four-story brick house was located, which later went down in history. It was the house of the regional consumer union, house number 61 on Penzenskaya street. It is he who will go down in history as Pavlov’s house. Next to it was the House of Sovkontrol - the future home of Zabolotny - a mirror copy of Pavlov's house. Between these two houses there was a railway line to Gosmelnitsa No. 4 (Gerhardt-Grudinin mill). Both buildings played a key role in the defense of the square and its approaches. In the area of ​​these buildings, the 42nd Guards Rifle Regiment of Colonel Ivan Yelin was defending, who ordered the commander of the 3rd Rifle Battalion, Captain Alexei Zhukov, to seize these houses, turning them into strong points.

The house of the Regional Potrebsoyuz was a four-story building with four entrances. It was built in the second half of the 1930s according to the design of the architect Sergei Voloshinov, who died on September 27, 1942 along with his wife, who was expecting a child, this happened in their house on Pugachevskaya Street during the next bombing of Stalingrad. The House of the Regional Potrebsoyuz was considered one of the most prestigious in the city, next to it were located other elite residential buildings: the House of NKVD workers, the House of Signalmen, the House of Railway Workers and others. Specialists from industrial enterprises, as well as party workers, lived in Pavlov’s house.

Both houses were very important, Soviet commanders correctly assessed their tactical importance for building defense in this area. The surrounding area was clearly visible from the houses. It was possible to conduct observation and also fire at enemy positions in occupied parts of Stalingrad: to the west up to one kilometer, to the north and south - even more. Also from the houses it was possible to view all the routes of a possible breakthrough of the Nazis to the Volga, which was just a stone's throw away. To seize the houses, two groups were created: the group of Sergeant Pavlov and Lieutenant Zabolotny. Zabolotny's house was subsequently burned down and blown up by the attackers during the fighting. by German troops, it collapsed, burying the Soviet soldiers who defended it under the ruins.

At the end of September 1942, Pavlov’s reconnaissance and assault group also included Corporal V.S. Glushchenko and Red Army soldiers A.P. Aleksandrov and N.Ya. Chernogolovy. Pavlov's group was able to enter the house and capture it, knocking the Germans out of it. A handful of fighters stayed in the house for three days, after which reinforcements arrived: a machine-gun platoon of Lieutenant Ivan Afanasyev (7 soldiers with one heavy machine gun), a group of armor-piercing soldiers of Senior Sergeant Andrei Sobgaida (6 soldiers with three anti-tank rifles), four mortar men with two company mortars under the command of junior lieutenant Alexei Chernyshenko and three machine gunners. Telephone communication was also installed in the house and ammunition was provided. This small garrison stayed in the house for almost two months, preventing the Germans from reaching the Volga in this sector of defense. During the battle, civilians (about 30 people) also hid in the basement of the house, who could not evacuate from it; some of them were seriously wounded as a result of artillery shelling and bombing.

Almost all the time, the Germans fired at this house with artillery and mortars, air strikes were carried out on it (as a result of the attacks, one of its walls was completely destroyed), continuous attacks were carried out, but the Germans were never able to take the house. Soviet soldiers They competently prepared it for all-round defense; during attacks they fired at the enemy from different places in the house through prepared embrasures made in bricked up windows, as well as breaches in the walls. As soon as the Germans approached the building, they were met by dense rifle and machine-gun fire from various firing points on different floors of the building, and grenades were flying towards the Nazis.

At the same time, lieutenants Afanasyev, Chernyshenko (died during the defense) and Sergeant Pavlov were able to establish good fire cooperation with strongholds set up in neighboring buildings - with Zabolotny’s house and the mill building, which housed the command post of the 42nd Infantry Regiment. A significant role in the competent organization of defense was played by the fact that Afanasyev and Pavlov were experienced fighters; Pavlov could be called a career military man, after all, he had been in the army since 1938. The interaction of strong points was significantly simplified by the fact that an observation post was equipped on the third floor of Pavlov’s house, which the Germans were never able to destroy. Later, the commander of the 62nd Army, General Vasily Chuikov, recalled: “A small group of Soviet soldiers, defending one house, destroyed more enemy soldiers than the Nazis lost during the capture of Paris.”

The reserve positions they prepared provided great assistance to the defenders of the house. In front of the house itself there was a cemented fuel warehouse, to which the defenders managed to dig an underground passage. And about 30 meters from the house there was a hatch leading to a water supply tunnel, to which an underground passage was also dug. This is how the defenders of Pavlov’s house could relatively quietly and safely receive the ammunition and food they needed for defense. During artillery shelling, all the defenders of the house, except for the combat guards and observers, went down to shelters. After the shelling stopped, the entire small garrison again took up its positions and met the enemy with fire.

The defense of the house lasted about two months until November 24, 1942, when its defenders abandoned it and the 42nd Regiment, along with other units, launched a counteroffensive. During the heroic defense of Pavlov's house, only three of his defenders died: junior lieutenant Alexey Chernyshenko, sergeant Idel Khait and Red Army soldier Ivan Svirin. At the same time, many defenders of the house were injured. Yakov Pavlov himself was seriously wounded in the leg on November 25, 1942 during an attack on German positions.

After returning from the hospital, Sergeant Pavlov fought with the same dignity as in Stalingrad, but in the artillery. He was the commander of an intelligence department in various artillery units of the 3rd Ukrainian and 2nd Belorussian fronts, as part of which he safely reached Stettin, having gone through the Great Patriotic War from the first to last day. For his military services, he was awarded two Orders of the Red Star, as well as numerous medals. On June 17, 1945, junior lieutenant Yakov Fedotovich Pavlov was awarded the honorary title of Hero of the Soviet Union and presented with a medal Golden Star(No. 6775), by that time he had already joined the Communist Party. He was nominated for the award precisely for the feat accomplished back in Stalingrad in 1942.

After demobilization from the army in 1946, Yakov Pavlov returned to his native land. He worked for a long time in the city of Valdai, Novgorod region, was the third secretary of the district party committee, and graduated from the Higher Party School under the CPSU Central Committee. Three times he was elected as a deputy of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR from the Novgorod region. After the end of the Great Patriotic War, he was also presented with the Order of the October Revolution. In the post-war years, he often came to Stalingrad, where he met with local residents who survived the war and restored the Volga city from ruins. Not only Yakov Pavlov, but also all the other defenders of the house were always the most dear guests of the townspeople. In 1980, Yakov Pavlov was awarded the title “Honorary Citizen of the Hero City of Volgograd.”

Yakov Fedotovich Pavlov died on September 28, 1981 at the age of 63 years. Most likely, his front-line wounds contributed to the relatively early death of the hero. He was buried on the Alley of Heroes of the Western Cemetery of Veliky Novgorod. Currently, a boarding school for orphans and children left without parental care in Veliky Novgorod bears the name of Yakov Pavlov. Streets in Veliky Novgorod, Valdai and Yoshkar-Ola were also named after Yakov Pavlov.
