+ | People had to face a lot of thins during the war time and they had even more things to do. The combat report of Iosif Lucskevish that was given by command of Ukraine partisan movement headquarters says that he took part in 35 battles against fascists and Ukrainian nationalist. He took part in 19 explosions that were performed to derail enemy echelons. He mined railways itself for 12 times. He controlled 4 explosions being a commander of raiding party. He learnt that the war had broken out in Chuguev in Harkov region. | ||
+ | As soon as he had reached his people he joined Saburovo partisan detachment. He had his partisan baptism of fire during the defeat of Narovlyani garrison. They moved combating from here to Jitomir region through Elsk and Lelchicsi. | ||
+ | In Ukraine he took part in warfare as a member of Rovensky partisan unit. Soon it was detached into Suvorov unit where Lucskevich and others had to perform a special assignment within the territory of Poland. | ||
+ | Under Warsaw the partisan unit joined units of army that was sent to Lvov for reorganization. Lucsevisch was sent to the 1st Ukrainian front from here. He got demobilized as Companion of the Order of the Red Flag, the Great Patriotic War 1st and 2nd classes. He was also awarded by Partisan of the Great Patriotic War 1st and 2nd classes medals just in 1946. | ||
+ | Here goes a combat report of Anastasia Gorchanko. Being an 18-year-old girl she helped wounded soldiers on battlefields under threat of being killed or wounded at best. | ||
+ | The front nurse of the field engineer battalion of the 60th guard division of Belarussain front as well as all front nurses had only one idea on their minds – save as many soldiers as possible to put them into service again. | ||
+ | Those who struggled against occupants had such a high spirit so they did not spared their lives and were not ashamed to talk about it. | ||
+ | This is what a Red Army soldier E.I.Barinov wrote from the front lines to his wife who was evacuated: | ||
+ | Yuravichi people had to learn different roads during the years of distemper. I.A. Telesh wrote “ From Moscow to Berlin. Telesh I.A.” on the walls of defeated Reichstag. The bearer of the Order of Lenin colonel Ivan Telesh defended Moscow in 1941 and crushed enemy in its den in 1945. | ||
+ | About ten dwellers of Yuravichi took part in the battle of Stalingrad. Those were P.L. Ptashka, Y.P. Telesh, P.P. Telesh, M.I. Kasyan, G.M.Lapusta and others. Among people from Yuravichi were those who liberated Belarus and Ukraine, Eastern Europe, assaulted Berlin. They proved again that Yuravichi’s land gave the world true heroes and people of spirit. Here goes another evidence of it. This is the letter from command that were sent from front to the liberated town. | ||

+ | Military unit commander assistant Halsky. | ||
+ | |||
+ | When Sofya Ivanovna read the first lines of this letter in 1944 she nearly fainted because she realized it was a “killed in action” note. But Ivan Dubrovsky was given a chance stay alive. He was wounded twice: in November 1944 and in April 1945 but enemy bullet could stop him on his way to victory. He got to front in December 1943 straight after the village liberation where he worked as a bookkeeping clerk at shoe cooperative. Recruits were taught military science for 3 months and their baptism of fire took place not far from Yuravichi – at Merlinskie farmsteads in Elsk district. Then he performed a heat which was awarded with the order of the Red Star with his fellow-villager Leonid Patashek who was his second string. | ||
+ | He came back from the war being disabled person of group II. He tried to close up the wounds but then he decided to help family without regard to endless pain. | ||
+ | First he worked as a warder. Then in 1950 when “Udarnik” and “Krasniy Flag, “imeni Kuibisheva” and “Pervogo Maya” kolkhozes were merged into “imeni Lenina” he became an assistant of chief accountant there. In 1952 Ivan was promoted to chief accountant. It should be mentioned that he leant the trade willfully. In 1968 he graduated from Gomel agricultural technical school by correspondence. He always got high marks because he was used to do his best whether he fight, worked or studied. | ||
+ | He was taking up the post for more than 30 years. He was personally invited for great projects and posts but he had never left Yuravichi, his homeland. | ||
+ | Yuravichi’s dweller Aleksand Gorchanko committed a heroic act during the war with Japan. After he had graduated from secondary medical school he was drafted to navy. He took part in battles at Hasan Halhin-Gol lakes. He saw the war through at west baselines protecting motherland from possible Japan attacks. He did not hear about his relatives all that time. Only after Yuravichi liberation he learnt that his parents and sisters are alive. But he failed to meet them. It happened in September 1945. His marine battalion took part in combat of the liberation of town Seisin from Japan militarists. A company of submachine gunners occupied the high ground and kept guard. Enemy performed counterattacks several times. As they failed they resorted to a trick: 200 samurais disguised themselves as civilians, cut behind the enemy and opened fire. Our soldiers died one after another. Gorchanko supplied soldiers with ammunition and appeared where enemies attacked cruelly. His submachine gun fanned samurais and his aim was certain. | ||
+ | Group-captains Fedor and Andrei Telesh laid down their lives during battles with enemy. | ||

+ | ====== Liberation (Вызваленне) ====== | ||
+ | |||
+ | On the 27th of November the 2nd Kalinkovichi partisan unit swept out Nazis from Ogorodniki on the order of command of the 61st army and joined with Soviet forces active unit. On the 28/29 of November people from Boici, Vadovichi, Chornavshchina, | ||
+ | The 11th rifle regiment of the 55th division headed by major Cholidze was the first one that forced its way to Yuravichi. At that time German and Hungarian units passed Pripyat over the bridge that was detonated right away. Enemy also headed to Prudka but the 111th regiment chief of staff major Yarovoi told that Soviet soldiers had met with resistance. | ||
+ | The command of regiment sent the battalion of lieutenant Trohin to save the town while major units attacked fascists at the front. The cosmoliners of the 84th regiment came to help the infantrymen. The gunners of sergeant A.M.Gascsuhin transported a gun through swamp in their hands to open covering fire in time. Hero of the Soviet Union I.O.Semyanchenko, | ||
+ | Fascists did not sustain a double-attack and scarpered. They left 50 wounded and captive people. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Major Smyalkin headed the 107th regiment on the left bank at the front at that time. | ||
+ | The group ruled by Alexander Dima traced 3 earth-and-timber emplacements and a dug-out at the southern of Yuravichi. They sneaked up to the enemy weapon emplacements, | ||
+ | |||
+ | At 6 am on the 29th of November Soviet soldiers tired of the night fight appeared in Yuravichi streets. Horses hauled guns, soldiers carried machine-guns and mortars on their shoulders. Town dwellers came out from their shelters and met the liberators with tears of joy in their eyes. | ||
+ | Grigory Potashko’s wife took out a portrait of Lenin. The portrait was painted with oils on a 2-meter-high veneer by an inmate of an orphanage E.Shihamn. Before the war it the portrait lied at the center in kolkhoz club. When fascists approached the town Grigory Potashko suddenly remembered that the portrait had been left in the club. He was there in a few minutes. He picked it off, wrapped with bagging, and hid it at attic. On the same day in the evening fascists stayed at his place. The new hosts and policemen turned Yuravichi upside-down trying to find the portrait but they failed. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | Yuravichi looked painfully after the liberation. Many houses were burnt up or ransacked by fascists to build dug-outs and defenses. Burnt and destroyed German materiel was everywhere. Windows in houses were smashed out, fences were burnt. Smoke and ashes smothered the town. | ||
+ | On the next day after the liberation fascists tried to take the village. But they were attacked by the 111th regiment. Drunk submachine gunners faced “Tigers”(German tanks). A severe fight started. | ||
+ | |||
+ | German tanks approached the positions taken by the battalion of senior lieutenant Trohin. Soldiers lied in trenches, let the tanks pass and then started to attack German infantry. When the tanks got away the commander of battalion with the head of staff and soldiers a bayonet attack that made enemy go back. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The tanks that were not supported by infantry could not do much. Missiles and bullets that hit some of the tanks made them stop forever. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Two soldiers stood out during that this fight. One of them was sergeant Ivan Kisilev. The other’s name was not defined. They put an enemy tank out of action with an ominous cross on its side while it was moving towards them with the intention to squash them. | ||
+ | Sergeant Kiselev let the tank approach for a few meters, tossed a grenade and fell to the ground. The explosion banged. A left track was destroyed and the tank moved by inertia. His fellow-fighter was killed. The tank rolled on its right track, covered fainted Kiselev with turf and stopped. | ||
+ | The fight calmed down. Silence fell on the field where it had been a fight just now. Night was falling. | ||
+ | German tankers got out the tanks and began to fix repair them. They walked on the turf that covered Kiselev. It helped to regain his consciousness. He shook his arms and legs. “I should be alive” – he thought to himself. But he could not touch his head with his arm because he was pressed much by the turf. And he could not turn over because Germans were close. He heard them fix tracks. The sergeant was gasping but his sufferings did not last long. Germans started engines. “This is the end”, – he thought. His heart burst and body broke out in a cold sweat. | ||
+ | The ground shook and pushed him off. The tank fetched the way with clanking tracks. | ||
+ | “I’m lying hear alive while enemy escapes” – he said to himself. He forced himself, got out the ground and followed the tank. He tumbled over and reached the tank with his last strength to toss two antitank grenades under the tank. | ||
+ | The blast wave threw him aside and he fainted again. But the tank stopped forever. His fellow-fighters picked him and captured the tankers. | ||
+ | Unfortunately the bearcat did not see the victory. After a few days in Mozyr liberation fight he died a hero’s death. He was buried in a common grave in Astrajanka village in Mozyr district. | ||
+ | The whole 3rd battalion of the 519th regiment died in the fight for village Gryada. Only two soldiers survived. Germans fought for each territory. | ||
+ | Armies needed fresh forces. More than 100 rookies from liberated Yuravichi were drafted to the army. M.A. Hrashkov remembers about those days: “We were drafted in Berezovcsi recruitment center and later sent to the 111th regiment though I had a white ticket. In a week I was lying in a trench with a machine-gun and looked through a hollow at burnt Gryada. There were four trench lines in front of the village. Germans held their positions at graveyards. Five guys from Yuravichi were with me but they died soon”. | ||
+ | Yuravichi land paid too dear for liberty and independence: | ||
