Before the war, these were the most ordinary boys and girls. We studied, helped elders, played, ran and jumped, broke our noses and knees. Only their relatives, classmates and friends knew their names.
THE HOUR HAS COME - THEY SHOWED HOW HUGE A SMALL CHILDREN'S HEART CAN BECOME WHEN A SACRED LOVE FOR THE MOTHERLAND AND HATE FOR ITS ENEMIES FLASHES IN IT.
The war found the Leningrad pioneer Zina Portnova in the village of Zuya, where she came for vacation, not far from the Obol station in the Vitebsk region.
An underground Komsomol-youth organization “Young Avengers” was created in Obol, and Zina was elected a member of its committee. She took part in daring operations against the enemy, in sabotage, distributed leaflets, and conducted reconnaissance on instructions from a partisan detachment.

Young underground fighters planned to exterminate the Nazis. Zina Portnova was given a job in the officers' mess.
The Germans took a liking to the Russian girl with pigtails. One day she replaced a sick dishwasher. This made it easier for her to access food. Seizing the moment, Zina managed to pour powder into the cauldron...
Two days later, more than a hundred officers who had lunch that day in the canteen were buried in the military cemetery.

...It was December 1943. Zina was returning from a mission. In the village of Mostishche she was betrayed by a traitor. The Nazis captured the young partisan and tortured her. The answer to the enemy was Zina’s silence, her contempt and hatred, her determination to fight to the end. During one of the interrogations, choosing the moment, Zina Portnova grabbed the investigator’s pistol and instantly shot him. Two Nazis came running to these shots, whom the girl also shot. Then she ran out of the building and rushed to the river in the hope of swimming to safety, but did not have time to reach the water. The pistol is out of ammunition.

The Germans wounded Zina, captured her and sent her to Vitebsk prison. They no longer had any doubts about the pioneer’s involvement in the underground, so they did not interrogate her, but simply methodically tortured her. The torture lasted more than a month, but Zina did not betray anyone. On the morning of January 13, 1944, the Nazis led a crippled, gray-haired and blind girl to execution. She walked, stumbling with her bare feet in the snow. She was shot in a ravine next to the railway, her body was left unburied.

On July 1, 1958, by decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, Zina Portnova was posthumously awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union. The name of the brave partisan was carved on the obelisk; it was carried by a warship.
Their matured childhood was filled with such trials that, even if a very talented writer had invented them, it would have been difficult to believe. But it was.

To be remembered! Zina Portnova

The day of February 8 is dedicated to the memory of young boys and girls of all countries, those who fought and died for freedom, equality and happiness of people. Many of them died in the struggle. Many survived and met the Victorious Spring of 1945. Their names are different, but their fates are similar - everything they did, they did for the sake of liberating their country from the fascist invaders.

When the Great Patriotic War began, not only adult men and women joined the battle line. Thousands of boys and girls, your peers, rose to defend Russia. In those harsh first war days, the favorite writer of the Soviet children, A.P. Gaidar, addressed them with the words: “The country has always taken care of you, it raised you, taught you, caressed you... The time has come for you - not in words, but in deeds to show how you appreciate it, take care of it and love it.” Putting aside unread books and school textbooks, young patriots worked tirelessly in the factory shops and on collective farm fields, inspired by one thought: “Everything is for the front, everything is for victory!” Many fled to the front and joined the partisans. Zina Portnova was among them.

This year Zinaida Martynovna Portnova would have turned 90 years old. But her life was cut short when she was 17. At the age of 17, she, a small, fragile girl, destroyed about 100 Krauts. Before the war, Zina lived and studied in Leningrad. After finishing 7th grade, her mother sent her and her sister Galya on vacation to their grandmother in the Belarusian village of Zui. This happened 10 days before the war. The mother will never see her daughter alive again. At the age of 15, Zina joined the Young Avengers squad. Children derailed trains, destroyed bridges, and distributed anti-fascist leaflets. While working in the canteen, Zina added poison to the soup, and a day later the Germans buried about 100 soldiers. Zina was suspected and interrogated. To divert suspicion from herself, Zina ate several spoons of poisoned food in front of the Fritzes. The girl was miraculously saved in a partisan detachment, where she went with her sister Galya. The partisans instructed Zina to find out the reasons for the failure of the Young Avengers detachment. They suspected that the Germans had introduced a provocateur into the detachment. Zina Portnova will not return from this task

In the village, Zina was identified and cruel, painful interrogations with torture began. During one of the interrogations, Zina grabbed the pistol from the hands of Officer Krause and shot him. Jumping out the window, Zina rushed to run to the river, but the Krauts overtook her. At 17, after a month of inhuman torture, the girl turned gray. The day before the execution, fascist monsters gouged out Zina’s eyes, but she did not become a traitor. Incredible, not girlish courage, which is difficult for us living today to imagine.

Zina Portnova was posthumously awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union. A street in her native Leningrad is named after her, one of the ships is named after this legendary girl. And we, distant descendants who do not know what war is, need to remember and know at what cost peace was won on our native land.

Zina's sister Galya survived a terrible war and lives in St. Petersburg. In the apartment, Galina Martynovna made a corner in memory of her sister.

Without sparing themselves in the fire of war, Sparing no effort in the name of the Motherland, The children of the heroic country were real heroes! (R. Rozhdestvensky) ETERNAL MEMORY TO THOSE WHO DIED FOR THE HOMELAND!

Our pilots, who were ordered to bomb the enemy airfield, were eternally grateful to this boy with such an expressive name. The airfield was located in the Leningrad region, near Tosno, and was carefully guarded by the Nazis. But Marx Krotov managed to get close to the airfield unnoticed and give our pilots a light signal. Focusing on this signal, the bombers accurately attacked targets and destroyed dozens of enemy aircraft. And before that, Marx collected food for the partisan detachment and handed it over to the forest fighters. Marx Krotov was captured by a Nazi patrol when he, together with other schoolchildren, was once again aiming our bombers at the target. The boy was executed on the shores of Lake Belye in February 1942. Marx Krotov

The girl was distinguished by fearlessness, ingenuity and never lost heart. One day she was arrested. The enemies had no direct evidence that she was a partisan. Perhaps everything would have worked out if Portnova had not been identified by the traitor. She was tortured for a long time and cruelly. During one of the interrogations, Zina grabbed a pistol from the investigator and shot him and two other guards. She tried to escape, but the girl, exhausted from torture, did not have enough strength. She was captured and soon executed.

He made his way into enemy garrisons, looked out for where German posts, headquarters, and ammunition depots were located. The information he delivered to the detachment helped the partisans inflict heavy losses on the enemy. Like Golikov, Marat blew up bridges and derailed enemy trains. In May 1944, when the Soviet Army was already very close and the partisans were about to unite with it, Marat was ambushed. The teenager shot back until the last bullet. When Marat had only one grenade left, he let the enemies get closer and pulled the pin... Marat Kazei posthumously became a Hero of the Soviet Union.

At the age of 12, Valya, then a fifth-grader at the Shepetovskaya school, became a scout in a partisan detachment. He fearlessly made his way to the location of enemy troops, obtaining valuable information for the partisans about security posts of railway stations, military warehouses, and the deployment of enemy units. He did not hide his joy when adults took him with them to a combat operation. Valya Kotik has six enemy trains blown up and many successful ambushes. He died at the age of 14 in an unequal battle with the Nazis. By that time, Valya Kotik already wore on his chest the Order of Lenin and the Order of the Patriotic War, 1st degree, and the medal “Partisan of the Patriotic War,” 2nd degree. Such awards would honor even the commander of a partisan unit. And here is a boy, a teenager. Valentin Kotik
