Summary School story in Partizan Territory. School in the Partisan Territory

T. Cat. , From the book "Children Heroes",
Following the swamp in the fireball, falling and rising again, we went to our own - to the partisans. The Germans were lying in his native village.
And now the Germans bombed our camp for a whole month. "The partisans were destroyed," they were sent, finally, reporting to their Supreme Command. But the invisible hands were allowed again under the slopes of the train, the warehouses with weapons were exploding, the German garrisons were destroyed.
Summer ended, autumn has already tried its motley, the crimson. It was hard for us to submit September without school.
- I know what letters! - she said somehow eight-year-old Natasha Drozd and brought a chopstick on the sand round "O" and nearby - the uneven gate "P". Her girlfriend painted several digits. Girls played to school, and neither the one nor the other noticed with what sadness and warmth follows them the commander partisan detachment Kovalevsky. In the evening on the Council of Commanders, he said:
- The children need the school ... - and added quietly: - You can not deprive them of childhood.
On the same night, the Komsomol members Fedya Trutko and Sasha Vasilevsky, with them Peter Ilyich Ivanovsky, came to the combat task. They returned in a few days. From the pockets, because of the sinuses, there were pencils, knobs, buckwar, tasks. The world and the house, a great human caring of the adese, among these books, among the swamps, where the deadly fight for life was.
"The bridge is easier to blow up than your books to get," Peter Ilyich's teeth shine cheerfully and pulled out ... Pioneer Horn.
None of the partisans did not say a word about what risk they were subjected. In each house could be an ambush, but no one came to the head of them to abandon the task, return with empty hands. .
Three classes were organized: the first, second and third. School ... Plotted in the ground stakes intertwined by a slotian, cleared area, instead of board and chalk - sand and wand, instead of a party-jn, instead of the roof over your head - disguise from German aircraft. In cloudy weather, we were overwhelmed by mosquitoes, sometimes snakes crawled out, but we did not pay attention to anything.
How we treated the guys with our school school, as every word of the teacher was caught! Textbooks accounted for one, two on the class. For some subjects there were no books at all. Much remembered from the words of the teacher who sometimes came to the lesson directly from the combat job, with a rifle in his hands, stuck with a ribbon with cartridges.
The fighters brought everything that they managed to get to us from the enemy, but the paper was lacking. We took carefully a birch bark from the fallen trees and wrote coal on it. There was no case for someone not fulfilled homework. We passed the classes only those guys who urgently sent to intelligence.
It turned out that we have only nine pioneers, the remaining twenty-eight guys needed to take into pioneers. From the parachute donated to the partisans, we sewed the banner made a pioneer form. The pioneers took partisans, the ties again received told the commander of the detachment. The headquarters of the pioneer squad was immediately elected.
Not stopping classes, we built a new school-dugout to winter. For her insulation it was necessary to have a lot of moss. Hold it in such a way that the fingers were sick, sometimes broke the nails, hurt her hands, but no one complained. No one demanded from us a great study, but this requirement made each of us. And when it came to a hard news that our favorite friend Sasha Vasilevsky killed, all pioneers squadded a solemn oath: learning even better.
At our request, a friend was assigned the name of the deceased friend. On the same night, Molay for Sasha, the partisans blew 14 German cars, they were allowed under the slopes of Echelon. The Germans threw 75 thousand punishers against the guerrilla. Blocade began again. All who knew how to handle the weapons went into battle. Families retreated in the depths of the swamps, and our pioneer squad was moved away. Clothing closed on us, spruce once a day brewed in hot water flour. But, retreating, we captured all our textbooks. In a new place, the classes continued. And the oath, this Sasha Vasilevsky, we kept. In the spring, all the pioneers were answered on the exams without a stick. Strict examiners - the commander of the detachment, commissioner, teachers - were pleased with us.
As a reward, the best disciples received the right to participate in shooting competitions. They shot from the pistol of the commander of the detachment. It was the highest honor for the guys. 3123.

From the first days of occupation german fascist invaders The territories of our republic to combat the enemy in Belarusian forests and the ages were sent by whole villages and families - with old men, women and children. Of course, everyone could not accept all those who wanted to accept the partisan detachments, as they were mainly a nomadic life and had a small farm at bases, a limited amount of food. However, soon the yield was found in the creation of the so-called family camps. They were equipped with the population itself under the guidance and in direct participation folk AvengersAs a rule, in the depths of forest arrays and swamps, between lakes, on the edges of which partisan detachments were usually located. For the protection of these camps, small partisans groups were highlighted.

Children of preschool and school age, which are in family camps, along with adults transferred difficulties and deprivation of hard partisan everyday life. In the eyes of kids and adolescents, many events memorable for the rest of their lives were happening: and guerrilla serve (among which there were close relatives of children) for dangerous combat missions, and bitter scenes farewell to the dead, and suffering wounded in unequal battles with invaders. It was especially difficult for the defector in the winter months, when frosts, snow blizzards were added to all forest life, the lack of proper warm clothing and shoes, forced movements from the consecutive place to another base, also affected due to German areas and persecution.

During the war in many family camps, Belarusian forest partisan schools acted in many family-friendly camps. As recalled prominent organizer partisan traffic In Belarus, Kirill Trofimovich Mazurov in the book "Unforgettable", "Despite the difficulties, the creation of schools in the forests was in full swing. The first picked up the call for the creation of schools for teaching children in partisan zones (in villages and forest camps for the population) Komsomol members of the Porski region. The reasons later spread to the Minsk, Pinsk and other areas. The creation of the enemy of Soviet schools in the rear ... served not only to unite and raise children, but also instilled in the faith of people in the inevitable expulsion of the Nazis. "

Only in the Brest region on May 1, 1944 490 children were studied in such schools. All forest schools were primary, only with the first four learning classes. They, as a rule, were placed in dugouts, various facilities built from the vine and other girlfriends. The partisan asset, teachers, parents themselves participated in their organization. The work of forest schools proceeded in incredibly difficult conditions - there were no textbooks, notebooks, papers, visual benefits, normal adapted facilities for classes. However, he outlived, as always, folk savings and wisdom of partisans. So, in the manufacture of written accessories, the partisans from the bark of oak cut out for first-graders the letters for the alphabet, from the twigs made cool scores, the letters were preparing pieces of birch bark. Folk craftsmen found a way to manufacture ink: they made a decoction from the oak acorns, threw a rusty nail or a piece of iron there. For some time, this mixture defended and ink was obtained. Often tutorials Delivered from the local population, as well as through connected and intelligence in settlements.

There were no cool boards, instead, students wrote as acerd chopsticks on earth and sand. Particularly used cartridge sleeves. Due to the lack of textbooks and notebooks, handles and pencils, children wrote on the fields of newspapers and packaging paper, back side German leaflets, or even just with chopsticks on Bereste or on the sand. The alphabet served letters carved from birch bark, and countable material - bumps and acorns. Partisans equipped the children adapted facilities for classes, made parties and cool boards, provided school notebooks and handles. Due to the lack of textbooks and programs, the partisans teaching children were trained in political literature in the detachments. Often, teachers used in working with children orders of the Supreme Commander, texts from newspapers, brochures or reporters-summary of Sovinformbüro.

In the Belarusian State Museum of History of the Great Patriotic War As one of the most valuable military pore relics is stored a letter of November 22, 1942 by the secretary of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Komsomol of Belarus, M.V. Zimanin about the work of forest schools. Here are the excerpts from it. Due to the lack of written accessories and students, the Komsomol residents of Nikolai Rosov squad went on these issues in different villages and gathered 150 pencils, several textbooks, several dozen notebooks. In Oktyabrsky district, 14.09 held a conference of teachers, 15.09 - parent-teacher meeting. September 16 schools began work. The number of students in them is 271 people. Carpilovskaya school - 47 children, Rudobelskaya - 10, Rudnitskaya - 20, Old-Dubrovskaya - 26, Novo-Dubrovskaya - 52 ".

In some brigades even existed pioneer organizations. From the memories of the former student of school №2 at the partisan detachment named after M.I. Kalinin Brigades named after F.E. Dzerzhinsky because The cat, which after the war began to work as a teacher in schools of the Brest region. "Command of the detachment," she recalled, "pioneering forms from the parachute cannon allowed us. We also made yourself pioneering ties. Especially painstakingly and carefully embroidered with all the team a pioneer banner. Soon, 28 children were taken to pioneers in the solemn atmosphere. After that, I chose the headquarters of the pioneer squad.

The Wall newspapers "Our Study" and "Pioneer" of Pioneer Organizations of Partizan Brigades of the Brest region are kept in Belgosmusion. In them - the life of young pioneers, studies and public work.

In addition to learning children, the letter, reading and account of the teacher was carried out with them a great political and educational work, instilled their labor skills. IN free time The camps masked, carried out work on their improvement, bodied berries, mushrooms, firewood.

According to the preserved memories of former students and teachers, classes often started with Soviet reports, which took partisan radioists. In summary, children wrote dictations, studied geography.

In the poem "Paste's classes", written in January 1944, M.V.Shlyakhtenko, there are uncomplicated lines:

Only the sun rises above the earth
And dump gray fog,
Under curly green
Sosina
Children are learning
Partisan.

Forest schools are the greatest distribution in the Brest and Baranovichi regions. Here, with partisan detachments and connections, about twenty partisan schools worked. It is reliably known that the first forest school on Brestchin was organized in the fall of 1943 with a detachment named after M.I. Kalinin, where 50 children of junior classes were studied in three classes. With the family camp, the name of A.A.zhdanov brigades them. Ya.M. Sverdlova initial training covered 38 children.

One of the detachments in the Brest Forests was commanded by Lieutenant Evgeny Georgievich Makarevich - the initiator of the creation of a forest school, where 98 children were studied. After the death of E.G. Makarevich in June 1943, the detachment of the brigade. Ya.M. Sverdlova was named the commander's name. A report on educational work among the children of the 4th family camp of this detachment for June 1944 is stored in Belgosmusion. The report indicates that "46 children attend a family camp school, of which 1st grade - 24, 2nd - 13th, 3rd - 9 people. The following items are studied in the lessons: Russian, arithmetic, singing. The guys learned by heart the poems "The battle rocket was swayed," "leads the foliaries", "Our glorious land". In an emergency time, conversations were held on the actions of partisans, "on the help of the people of partisans", "On the heroic actions of the partisani tanya." According to physical education in the 2nd and 3rd classes, the themes "Building in Shan and the Column" were studied, "turns in place and in motion", "failure".

In addition, there are classes on short distances, long-term jumps, pulling on the horizontal bar, exercises for grenade launcher, study of the rifle device, workout with small arms layouts.

Proudly organizer educational work Reports in the report that in the forest school systematically worked a circle of artistic amateur, a circle of children's work (the boys cut out of the tree and the bark of toys for feeding, layouts of weapons, girls learned to knit and sew). The guys cared for the school garden, they were engaged in collecting medicinal herbs: for the season collected Lily Sisha flowers - 0.5 kg, fern leaves - 6 kg, chamomile colors - 1 kg, valerian roots - 4 kg, lime color - 1.5 kg.

In the school notebook posted in the "partisan camp" of our museum, the report of the teacher of Polina Yasnovskaya was described in detail about the educational work of the Forest School of the detachment of them. A.A.zhdanova Brigades them. Ya M. Sverdlova from May 12 to July 12, 1944. The detachment acted in the Drogichi district of the Brest region. Here, 58 children were covered by training - 23 boys and 35 girls of younger school age. As can be seen from the report, the school day has been installed here in 4 lessons for 45 minutes each. The changes between the lessons are as follows: Small changes for 10 minutes, a large change of 30 minutes. Classes were conducted at school in 2 shifts. Was compiled syllabus, hard school timetable. By the way, here in addition to those mentioned earlier items were objects of environmental education, needlework.

We read with interest today about the care of teachers about making visual benefits. With the help of partisan-craftsmen, teachers and children themselves are made: a cardboard split alphabet, a multiplication table, the auction for the development of oral and written speech, on the sections of spelling, history, geography.

Students have managed well. In the end school year Final classes and exams were held in the presence of a commander of the partisan detachment, commissioner, secretary of the Komsomol organization and teacher from another detachment. At the end of the school, students were given special evidence. One thing is stored in Belgosmouse. It was issued in 1943/44 of the academic year Danilkovich Elena, 3rd class of the Forest School of the detachment of them. M.I. Kalinina (a photo of the forest school student is stored in the museum). The testimony was signed by the commander of F. Belyaev and the teacher of the school of P. Ivanovskaya.

Classes in forest schools led teachers who lived in the deployment places of folk avengers or invited from others settlements, sometimes they attracted to work with children former students High school students from the partisan. These were selfless people who are infinitely loving their business, who united one thing - to educate a decent shift, real citizens of their native Fatherland who own knowledge, as well as the skills of partisan life and the ability to protect their homeland. These are such teachers like M.S. Martinovich - Teacher of the 123rd partisan brigade of the Porski region, secretary of the Oktyabrsky underground RK LKSMB, Ya.A. Chernyavskaya and V.G.Osipov - teachers of the family camp of the detachment. A.A.zhdanova Brigades them. Ya.m. Sverdlova and others. Often the teacher with a weapon in his hands lagged their camps along with her husbands, senior partisans brothers. In July 1944, M.V.Shlyakhtenko's mentors and L.A. Gritzova - partisans of the detachment. S.M. Kirova of the Brest region - the heroic died in unequal battle With German invaders.

Forest partisan schools raised children in the spirit of hate to enemy, love and devotion to their homeland. In this, their indisputable value and their mortgage contribution to the general great victory.

From the book "Children Heroes", compilers I.K.Goncharenko, N.B.Makhlin
Brave guerrilla.

On the crucible green street of Shepetovka with a deafening cracker, motorcyclists burst in black helmets, with highly buried, as if the butchers, the sleeves of gray from the dust of Franchi; In shorts, as if they were driving not to fight, but sunbathing on the beach. And the avalanche of cars, wagons, soldiers joined them through the city. In a few days, the fascists robbed, retorted native city Vali cat.

... The edge of the sidewalk, now and looking around, the three children were made their ways: Valya Kitty, Kohl Turukhan and Natasha Gorbatyuk.

The guys suddenly stopped, closely clinging to the cold wall of the building, on which she had recently (still seen) was the sign "City Council", and now the fascist flag hung.

The building, creaking the brakes, stopped a long black limousine. From him leisurely, the fascist officer, Shepetsky Gebitskyist Vorbs, was important.

He slipped a contemptuous empty look at the Serulace Rubo-header boy in tornabouts, with bare feet bipoded, in this moment unwittingly removed from the wall. I got a glance and swallowed a wooden soldier gait to the gebitss-writer. But if the fascist for a few moments stopped his gaze on the face of the boy, he would see in his eyes an irreconcilable hatred.

Know the worm, who will soon, will soon be this cotton, then I know that in the hands of this cotton his life, he would be a voice full of malice, would give an order to grab, torture, kill Pioneers.

The worm was so deeply confident that here, in Shepetovka, everyone is capable only to bend the back in front of each fascist that half an hour later did not even believe some Efreitor Otto Schultsu, who had reported that he had stolen a weapon.

You, Schulz, themselves lost their machine somewhere, - worn at him. - Remember where the eggs and fat were requisitioned, and look!

He could not know that at the very time two boys and one girl Kubarem rolled into a funnel from the projectile far from the gebitss-insariat. These were the most guys that half an hour ago rubbed near the gebitstical examination, and in the hands they kept the machine Efreitor Schulz.

Natasha and Kolya, it's still hard breathing from rapid running and experienced unrest, we considered an automatic with a store, for sure the complete cartridges.
- How am I him, eh? "Distributionful eyes, a roller said, remembering all the details of what happened.

This Valya first noticed near one of the gate machine. In the depths of the courtyard, the voice of some Fritz was heard. Natasha and Kolya did not immediately guessed, for which the roller suddenly whispered them hurriedly:
- Rather in the next yard!

Only they jumped through the fence, as a car fell next to them in the grass, the roller jumped after him.
- Bat!
- Where to give him now? - asked Natasha.
"In the" piggy bank ", of course," answered the roller, "I now seek home for the bike and basket."

The beginning of the fact that the guys were called a "piggy bank", was laid on the eve of the morning.

The guys bathed in the river. The roller dived and hit the hand of something metallic.
- Kolka, there is some kind of iron, come here, stretch! He called his comrade.

"Iron" turned out to be a rifle. The roller dived again. The catch was even richer.

Never a roller nor Kole Turukhan had to even dive so much. Their eyes have become red, like rabbits. The ears were sick. But on the shore in the thick thickets of the slot, there was a whole arsenal: rifles, a gun, even a machine gun.

It is a pity, there are no cartridges, "the roller crushed.

And where to be the cartridges? It can be seen, the fighters that have been surrounded here, all the cartridges were released on the enemy, and then they rushed into the water that became unnecessary weapons so that it did not get Germans.

The weapons were so picked up that it was not found anyone. This warehouse and called the guys "piggy bank". Now there is still an automatic cartridges.

For whom they gathered guys weapons? Frankly, the roller then did not know this for sure. He Kolya Turukhan spoke Natasha and Kole:
- We will give it to those who will fight the fascists. And we ourselves are no longer small, right?

... to the tree of the cat, the eleven-year-old Pioneer from Voroshilov Street, have long been looking at the tearful, attentive, invisible eyes of undergrounders.

They like a bold boy, from under the nose of Fritz's taken automaton, discovered and dragged together with friends to himself for a barn disassembled in parts of the rifle and even a machine gun. And all in front of the Germans, in a basket tied to the trunk of the bicycle.

Soon, very soon the pioneer will endure the test, and the undergrounders, as equal, will take it into their family, will tell him:
"We believe you, Pioneer Valya cat, believe that you can fulfill any our task, whatever the dangers threatened!"

Leaflets

A short, frequent beeps rang one of the numerous telephones on the table at the Gebitsky examiner - the device associated with the direct cable of the German General Staff Warsaw - Berlin.

"Is it really already known about this?" - He thought with fear, raising the phone.

So, from Berlin, from the office of the chief of Gestapo himself, requested what measures were taken to punish unknown persons who had yet at night under the slopes of Echelon with selected Hitler's soldiers.

What measures? Worrels did not talk about. Not to report the same thing that soon the day after the crash, and the rescue teams still continue to pull out the corpses of soldiers and officers from under the debris. Now, soon, a day, like a whisper to the east, no echelon can come to the front.

Footprints of the partisans led to the forest and lost there. So I came-corrected the workers sent to the wrapping partisans. They were simply afraid to enjoy into the depths of the forest, they knew: from there not to take their feet.

Soon midnight, and the worm does not leave his office, leafs by the police officers, interrogating traitors-old people. But they can not tell you about the fascist. They, too, like the Nazis, are afraid to launch a nose from the villages.

Among the night, a sick shadow burst into the doors of the gebitsky examination. And while the clock went behind the corner of the house, on the door, next to the ads of the reception hours, another white sheet of paper appeared. The clock did not pay any attention to him.

And the shadow silently slid further, from home to home. And on the walls in one, in another place there was a white rectangle of paper. Because of the clouds, the moon looked, and then it became clear that the fast shadow was a figure of a boy. So he wrapped behind the corner, looked around and, so as not to creak the wicket, shook right through the fence into the courtyard in front of a small house.

Through a tightly hanging window in one place, light pierced light.
"Does not sleep," the boy thought and gently pressed the head of the front door.
In the corridor, he fed, put the remaining sheets of paper into the shoe and then stepped into the room.

Mother waited for her son.
- Where have you been, roller?
- So, walked.

Mother sighed. Walked ... Since the invaders came, the son became somehow secret, he had secrets, secrets from her, mother. Only once, the veil over the sons unknown to it was once awarded.

Valya once brought home several sheets of paper.

The room was sitting the host of Hat Radchuk and Stratkov and Lukashenko, which underground workers provided fake certificates about early liberation from captivity. Both of them now rested, came to themselves after long-month cautious work, hunger strikes.

Radchuk tstenfully grabbed one of the leaves.

What is it?
"And look at the good one," said the roller.

These were leaflets discarded from an airplane and all up to one carefully selected by roller. Valya thought and Radchuk would also be happy to take a news Big landHow Lukashenko and Strakov were delighted, greedily read the leaflet from beginning to end.

And I did not read Radchuk, everything was prettring, where did the leaflets come from, but how many of them, and where hid.

The roller was alerted, Prim. He still painted a caricature on Hitler next to the text, then put the leaflet in his pocket and went to bed.

Didn't the Valya suggest that Radchuk Radchuk will run to the police to report about leaflets, what does he report that Valya drew a caricature on Hitler?

But it can be seen, the roller has already begun to produce a real underground flair. Early in the morning, the sun rose a little when Rudchuk was not yet woken up, he left home and hid in a secluded place a solid pack of leaflets.

And at noon, the policemen were granted. They turned over in the apartment all upside down, led to the interrogation. Until the evening they were tormented there, but then they released. But Vasya Lukashenko failed to escape from the police. He was arrested and sent to Katorov to Germany.

Since then, the roller has closed even more in himself. And no matter how hard Radchuk tried to lift something about his affairs, to proceed with Pioneer and his mother, he could not know anything.

Leaflets continued to appear on the walls of Shepetovka houses. And the mother of the roller, Anna Nikitichna, had to guess that this case was not going without the participation of her son.

Unknown, gluing leaflets, worked more and more bold. Nutro in the gebitrary examination of the scandal. All Shepetovka laughed at unlucky invaders, which even the doors of their own office could not protect from leaflets. Where to deal with the guerrillas that were powered by Achelons.

And the roller, putting his hands in his pockets, looked around the opposite side of the street and gladly watched the police, who received the rotosaism to catch up from the worm, like a dozen kids dagger scraped a firmly glued leaflet.

Police hurriedly run past the vortex truss boy. They were not up to him. They could not come to mind that the brave, stressed leaflets on the doors of the Gebit Commissariat, the brave, in search of which they came down from the legs, so he walks nearby.

Valya needs partisans

Some Stepan Didenko settled the cats, ahead of time. I did not like at first the roller new tenants.

First, he tried to live with all in peace and harmony, even with police officers, in whose huts at night, the roller and his friends beat the glass. Secondly, he went to main Street cities. But there now and the cinema was only for the Germans, and the cafe is only for them. No self-respecting man would walk in the evening to walk on the main street of the city, sometime such a beautiful, cozy. And Didnko dressed in a beautiful suit, walked and returned home late.

Didenko clearly interfered with the shaft. What if he is the same as Rudchuk, and is waiting for the opportunity to grind about leaflets that were kept at a roller in shoes?

One day, when the roller already slept, Stepan, as always, came late. Looking at the Stopan Boots of the roller, I decided to fix them. He took the dust, the hammer, cloves, adjusted the shoe on the corner of the table and then felt something from his shoe to him on his knees.

These were leaflets.

Didenko said nothing Anna Nikitichna. He repaired the shoes, put again under the insoles of the leaflet, put them near the roller bed.

In the morning, Didenko, as always, left for some kind of his business.

And roller? As he promoted, seeing his renovated shoes! After all, if Didenko proves to those who he accepted him, not to power him a dust. Yes, that his mother and brother will fall into the dungeons ...

Didenko actually told about the leaflets to his friends. His friends were underground sheepings. Until today, the roller really did not need to know about it.

Finally, he found, "Didenko said," who pokes the leaflets at night. " We thought that the underground group was unknown to us, and this is a Valya cat.

And then there was a serious, long conversation between Valku and Stepan, after which Didenko told Anna Nikitichna:
- Anna Nikitichna, your son needs us ...

To whom "us", the mother of the roller did not ask. Anna Nikitichna knew that Didenko was partisans. After all, he was recommended for a residence for her communist Gorbatyuk. Through Anna Nikitichna, Gorbatyuk repeatedly transferred Didno information received by him from loyal friends. Didno often came to her, Uncle Vanya Nushenko, an externally harmless, elderly, a sutured man with a wand. But it is only outwardly. At night, he was transformed. Hanging at Uncle Vanya became lightweight, elastic. He could be long hours, not moving, lying at the railway canvase, watching the movement of the echelons, so that later by the radio, it was not afraid that the fascists could shut down, transmit encrypted reports to the partisan headquarters.

Yes, Anna Nikitichna realized very well what the words meaning "Your Son need us." This meant for rolling, and for all her small family The beginning of another life, complete dangers. But she just told Stepan:
- Okay. Once it need you, the partisans, it means that you need a homeland. Only ... take care of him, Stepan. Small he is still hot ...

And I became Valya Kotich's connected Shepet's underground workers.

Weapons that were so carefully collected and hid guys, on the centers with a hay mocked in the forest, in the partisan detachment.

But automata, rifles, explosives needed more and more because all more people It came to the partisans, they all widerly unfolded their struggle with the occupiers. Shepet's underground workers helped groups of prisoners of war from the barbed wire camps. And liberated fighters and commanders walked into the forest, to the partisans to take revenge on the enemies, help their native Soviet army.

Hunting for weapons led curses sometimes in the most unexpected places.

Somehow in Shepetovka arrived from Germany an ensemble "Funef Cylinder".

"Only for the Germans!" - Passed posters.

But the roller succeeded imperceptibly to penetrate the former cinema, where dripping troupe gave her idea. The hall was filled. Soldiers ended with five girls in short skirts, black stockings and brilliant cylinders on lush hairstyles. Screaming: "bis, bravo!" And they drown out from delight.

But the roller was not at all interested in what was happening on the stage. Casting for the curtain, he cautiously inspired around.

No, after him, it seems, no one watched.

The Germans standing closely from him in the aisle was not enough of the poor place - from the unbuttoned holster there was a revolver handle ... The Germans, enthusiastically noticed, did not notice how the boy was separated from the porters, as the revolver flies out of the holster in his pocket.

After half an hour, Stepan Didenko weighed a weapon on the palm:
- Good "gun"! Has Sacred Luca just no weapon suitable. Give him a revolver to him. I agree?

Of course, Valya agreed. He was very pleased that the revolver immediately fell into the hands of one of the most brave sheepy underfooters.

Shepherds

Anna Nikitichna began to notice that for some pursust, Valentine was addicted to the mouth of a cow.

But he chased her not to the forest, where he grew up a juicy grass, but to a wasteland - the German food warehouses, which supplied the front.

Guys - Valya, Natasha, Kolya - Shalily, jumped near the cow. The sentries are so accustomed to the drain that they did not even distil them from the wire surrounding the warehouses. Only when they approached too close, the clock threateningly raised the machine, and the guys instantly flew to a decent distance.

The harmless company ... And Stepan Didenko and Gorbatyuk, every day accumulated more and more information about the location of the posts, the time of changing the guard, the number of cars drove and left the warehouse. All this was passed the guys, vigorously followed by each movement of the Germans.

And once in the evening, the truck rolled up to the warehouse. The guard has just changed, and the Germans sat quietly in the duty. Some were played on lip harmonics, others played cards.

A silent German officer jumped out of the truck cockpit and headed for Karaulu. The Germans sitting there jumped up to welcome the officer, and so remained standing with their hands raised up. They looked at the darkness of the machine.

On the purest german language The partisans in the officerial form reported the guard that if any of them would try to move, the automaton will speak, and then it is unlikely that someone from the guards will be able to go to the Fathereland.

Following the officer, a disguised partisans took place on the warehouse. They brought the bidones with kerosene into cardboard boxes. Among the partisans, the guards were surprised to see those boys that grazed a cow near the warehouses. The boys led the guerrilla as if they lived all their lives in this warehouse, showed:

Here is food, here is uniforms ...

A few minutes later, the car was heavy, the car rope away from the warehouse covered by the flame. And the guard continued to sit in the guard, because the sign was hanging on the door: "mined". Valya hung this sign in front of the care.

After this operation, Stepa and Kolya went into a detachment. Valya still remained in Shepetovka.

Flaw on huge warehouses located in a hundred meters from gendarmerie, guarded by tens of clocks, not a joke alarmed the Germans.

But soon they were waiting for another surprise.

Again, masking under the shepherd, roller walks. But now for whispered, in a small fishing line. The cow is grazing, and the Valya is in one, in another place a small spermnaya spatula roets the pockets.

The partisans knew that through Shepetovka somewhere far to the west, in Berlin, there is a link. But how to detect a carefully disguised cable in the ground? Several intelligence groups were ordered to look for it. I was looking for a cable and roller.

Little Lockers, where Valya Pip Cow, he knew along and across. Once before the war, the guys were collected here, in the fall of the mushrooms ... The roller felt that something changed in the fishing line. But what? Trees have become more, thicker? No, on the contrary, the fishing lines cut through Loskka. Previously, it was not. This promotion so changed the forest. But for what they laid her heads? Maybe…

Valya looked around and, making sure that there was no one here, began to dig the land. Soon the shovel came across a brick. How to be here in the forest, in the ground bricks? Valya sewn ruined the Earth. Not one, but a number of bricks left somewhere underground from the east west along the perishes. Valya raised brick. In the stone bed somewhere stretched a gray snake of a thick-width cable. The sharp end of the Valya blades became that there are strength to beat on the lead snake.

At this time, the Gebitsky examiner kept the tube near the ear of the telephone, which was connected to this cable. He was preparing to inform his chief that they had a brilliant plan for the destruction of partisans, which for the fulfillment of this plan he would personally go to Slavuta revenge on the day ...

But it was not possible to talk: a crash rang out in the tube, and the excited voice of the telephonist said:
- Damage on the line.

And Valya, overriving the cable, put a brick in place, carefully littered the earth, laid the place where he dug, green turf.

Let him try, looking for a break place! And the fascists accounted for more than a week to look for a cable break. More than a week there was no connection with Warsaw and Berlin.

Grenade reached the goal

No, the GebitskyistSar could no longer postpone the punitive expedition against the partisans. He had to go to Slavuta to quickly defeat them and report, finally, the chief at least about one victory over invisible, elusive, formidable partisans.

And the partisans became known that the gebitstical examination was going to Slavutut.

Stepan Didenko gave the task of the roller:
- The capture of the gebitussomar.

With the roller, his friend Step Kischi went to the task. Valya took the anti-tank grenade, and Stepa is a trophy machine.

The guys lay in the line at the turn of the road.
An armored car, full soldier, and open black limousine of the gebitsky examiner appeared in the distance.

And then, from roadside bushes, a vorticultural serunous cotton rose to the whole growth. His eyes were dark from anger, hatred for the fascist, the perpetrator of so many deaths of innocent people. In the hands of the boy - grenade.

Worrels leaned into the angle of cars. Oh, now he would have recognized this boy among thousands of others! But at that moment the explosion spread into pieces and car, and the gebitssist.

In Shepetovka began the clouds for the region. The Germans from the skin climbed to find the perpetrators of the bold attacks.

The underground workers began to thicken clouds. In Slavuta, the provocator issued Dr. Mikhailov, one of the leaders of the underground. The tentacles of the German Guard got to Gorbatyuk. He died of torture in the office of the head of the criminal police of the traitor to Nimanan, but did not give out anyone.

Natasha and mother had to go into the forest. The Germans, of course, would not leave the freedom of his wife and daughter of the Communist.

But the reprisals did not help. Trains on railway Increasingly flew under the slope.

Somehow Saturday night in the roller window there was a conditional knock. Didenko came. Now he was increasingly changing conspiracy apartments.

Going, "he said," your arrest is appointed on Monday.

Anna Nikitichna, roller and older brother Victor left on time. An hour after their departure to the apartment came the police ...

Partisan scout

Before we build several people who again arrived in the squad. On the left flank the smallest - Valya cat. He is also armed. In his hands, he has a machine, one of the few dozen German automata produced by him.

Following Commissioner, Valya pronounces the words of the partisan oath:
- I swear that I would soon die in a cruel battle with enemies than I give myself, our relatives and the entire Soviet people in slavery bloody fascism ...
- Klya! Kley! - repeat all partisans. So began for the Vali Catics Life in Partizan
Charian detachment Soviet Union Anton Zakharovich Oduhi. The currencies were determined by the scout in the detachment of LoguTenko.

Six echelons on the account of Pioneer Vali Citics. Six echelons with ammunition, equipment, the living force of the enemy let down the pioneer.

And how many courage and excerpt it was that during the intelligence to calmly pass past the German watch in Slavuta and in Izaslav, in Polon and Maidan-Vile, wherever the partisans had appeared, everywhere where large German garrisons were stood, military warehouses; To quietly go past the fascists when you are in the lining of the jacket sewn leaflets or reports to the partisan "center", the underground committee!

The connected was obliged to act quickly and clearly. And in the case of failure to be silent, silent to the end. Such is a guerrilla law. And the roller fearlessly walked towards countless dangers. The roller and his friends in the partisan compound were called Kurchagin. And this is a high rank, unknown who invented, filled the pride of the pioneer's heart. After all, his favorite book - "How Steel" Nikolai Ostrovsky was tempered. With her, the roller was not parted even in the partisan detachment. When he studied at school, he dreamed at least a little like her beloved hero. And the word "Korchagin" said that the comrades on the detachment very highly appreciate his merit.

How many times did the Valya risen his life, how much did he commit wonderful affairs? It is difficult to answer this question, because the pioneer risked his life every day, because the most wonderful things were considered the partisans with the most common combat work. So I counted and Valya. And by completing the task, he briefly reported about this commander, and then everything did not tell anyone more about it. And the time erased memories of many pioneer exploits.

... Valya received a new task: to go into the explosion to the village of Bolotin, check whether there are Germans there.

The boy gently rode on horseback through the forest thicket. Here and the swamp. The forest is suitable for the hassle. But what is this noise in the village, kajacking chickens, screaming pigs?

Valya left the horse in the bushes and sneaked at all close to the only street that crossed the village. And here I almost looked around.

There were two fasteners on the street. And in the courtyards, spreading their hands, chasing the chickens and the pigs almost whole platoon Fascists.

Now you will have such jugs! - the roller whispered and two grenades threw it one after another.

In a few jumps, he was already in the bushes, at the horse. And the fascists, deciding that they attack them a whole squad, drew from the village.

... Once a group of LoguTenko, which was Valya, were commissioned to divide with the German garrison of one of the villages of the district. For several hours in a row, the partisans were guerrillas.

The halt, - finally, commanded the commander.

The detachment stopped, exposing around the Secrets. He became a post and roller.

Jorkously peered in the forest thicket. It seemed that everything was calm around. But suddenly someone is heavy, rough brought a boy under himself, turned his hands, took the machine. These were punishers who went to the trails of the squad.

Long! - ordered a roller through the translator. The Germans tried to achieve from him where he gave him a weapon where his combat comrades. But the roller just showed his finger into the sky. Threw, they say; With a parachute of the EGO one. Leaving near him two hours, the punishers carefully began to move deep into the forest, toward the detachment.

The roller lay on Earth and feverishly thought how to inform the partisans about the deadly threat, who hung over them. He moved, something round, the ribbed rushed to his foot.

Grenade! The fascists forgot to take a grenade in his confusion! He gently pulled his hand, put her in his pocket, removed the ring, jumped up and, thumping a grenade under his legs sitting on a hemp clocks, jumped aside.

Partisans heard an explosion. The fascists failed to catch them surprise.
And Valya?
Pomegranates wounded by fragments, he is somewhat kilometers in the forest and, finally, the exhausted fell in the loan hut.

The forester was a guerrilla assistant, he picked up a pioneer and took him into a deaf village to Feldeshru, and then told the partisans about it.

After two weeks, Valya returned to the detachment. There was still a bandage on the head, he never cleared the deadline, did not wait until his wounds were chuck.

And here it stands in the rank festively dressed, tightened by partisans. The Commander of the Connection Oduha reads the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet Council of the USSR on the award of the guerrillas of the joint medals.
- "For the courage and resourcefulness, manifested when performing the tasks of the command in the rear of the enemy, awarded the partisan Valentina Catics medal" Partizan of the Great Patriotic War. "
Serving the Soviet Union! - Caulded the roller.

... Forty fourth year. February. Soon the shaft will be fourteen.

Total fourteen?! - The partisans are surprised. Everyone got used to consider him eldest. In the partisan detachment Valya grew up, matured. His gray eyes look with a nonsense seriousness. Yes, early the fascists selected his childhood. It was they forced the boy instead of books, a notebook, toy to take a weapon to the toys.
- Total fourteen! - Surprise comrades who saw how he rushes on horseback, as he shoots the machine, as he explodes the echelons.
"Already fourteen," the roller frowns. He wants to seem adult.

He has been offered to fly on a large land on the plane for a plane, in the rear to learn at school there. He was told: "You are still small."

How many tricks, perseverance had to attach Pionera to stay in the detachment! No, he could not leave the squad until the fascists trampled his native land.

The Germans retreated under the blows of the Soviet army. The front was closer to Shepetovka. Partisan connection He received an order from the command of the Soviet Army to take the storm the city of Izyaslav, through which the fascists sent all their echelons to the rear. Before starting the operation, the commander called the boy to himself:

In this battle you will stay at the disposal of the headquarters.
- Stop in the attack! This is probably our last attack!
"No," Mysalev answered firmly. "You heard: yesterday they took a whisper. Soon there will be a school. You must be alive and healthy to return, that yes. I do not want in this last battle something happened to you.

Place on Izyaslav was a complete surprise for the Germans. After a short combat, the city was taken. But the partisans knew: the fascists would soon approach and try to discourage the city again. He meant too much for them. And Valya watched from the part of the partisan battalions.

But now he finally got a task - guard the warehouse of ammunition abandoned by the Germans. Roller dropped at the warehouse. Now he does not stop the step!

From the West, the tanks stumbled. The Germans threw the city "Tigers". And the guerrilla is not a single anti-tank gun! It's closer to the warehouse began to rush shells, mines. Fascists slowly touched the partisan parts. Here are the Germans very close to the warehouse, which is instructed to guard the shaft of the cat. He rushed to the ground and began to send a cartridge over the enemies.

And suddenly the Thunder "Hurray" came out. This is to help partisans walked troops of the Soviet Army. Valya has survived, threw a grenade into the retreats of the fascists and immediately collapsed to the ground, the fascist bullet.

Pioneer Hero

Quietly rustle in the city park of century old trees. Under their canopy, next to the graves of the fighters of the Soviet army who died for the release of Shepetovka, there is a monument to the shaft of the cat, Pioneer-partisan. Near the monument always flowers. The guys keep the memory of the hero. His name is listed in the Book of Honor of All-Union pioneer organization named after V. I. Lenin. The school where he studied, carries the name of the Vali cat. At the desk on which he was sitting, now the best students of the school are sitting. The name of the Ukrainian pioneer-hero became known far beyond the limits of the Soviet Union. By the seas and oceans under the Soviet flag floats the ocean ship "Valya Kitty".
Posthumously Valya Citic awarded the Order Patriotic War I degree, and on June 27, 1958 he was awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union.
