Chapter Seven
G E M L I V O G N E

The man is amazing! Yesterday he lay on the ground and trembled, listening to the disgusting screech of mines above his head, begging fate for mercy. He trembled like a defenseless hare, which must be “raised” from the furrow by hunters walking in a chain through the autumn forest.
Then the man jumped up and ran, hoping to escape from the clutches of death. But the mines struck again. He fell again. And again he ran, gasping for breath, because his heart was tearing out of his chest.
And today he has regained his normal appearance, although he is a little ashamed of his weakness yesterday and, at the same time, pleased: he outwitted the slanting one and saved his life.
He has a lot of words prepared for conversation. But words do not come out of his mouth - joy bound all his members: the division emerged from the ring of fire.
Full of sublime feelings, he rode in the back of a car along a dusty country road, occasionally looking at the clear sky, since at any moment a fascist robber could appear over the horizon, and the area was open, there was not a bush anywhere - you couldn’t hide.
At the end of the body, with its sides shot through, empty barrels rattled. He was ordered to fully refuel them and immediately deliver gasoline to the divisional transport stopped en route.
Who he was is now difficult to remember. But it was a tall and thin motorist from the 196th motor battalion. It was probably the backup driver V.E. Popov. from the city of Kopeisk... Or the commander of the auto platoon Blinov B.S. from Chelyabinsk. Or maybe not them at all, but Sidorenko I.K. Ivan Kuzmich together with his future wife Nina Petrovna, a nurse at a field hospital, as well as Blinov B.S. and Popov V.E. walked and rode from Polotsk to Austrian city Graz, and when he returned after the victory, he married and built new town– Novopolotsk.
But this, as they say, came to pass. After all, in war, every hour of life is equal to a year lived! It was not often that we, war veterans, had to dream about future happiness.
I was driving in a car on an errand to Velikiye Luki.
As we drove by, we looked at the sides of the road, littered with broken and mutilated German motorcycles and cars - probably Soviet pilot I worked hard on the enemy column, because in some places there were deep craters in the cobblestones, and they had to be avoided.
And not a single corpse. We managed to remove it. In this regard, the Nazis were distinguished by their accuracy.
At another village, just outside the outskirts, there were white, orderly rows of new German birch crosses. And further, behind the wooden houses, on the crest of a high hill, there stood a strange tall machine with buckets frozen in the air. From the piles of fresh clay along the hill, we guessed its purpose.
But the trenches were empty: the Nazis had fled.
On July 20, Velikiye Luki was occupied by the Germans. But the next day the Germans were driven out of Velikiye Luki by our troops who arrived from the reserve. Headquarters 22 appointed Major General Silkin as head of the city garrison.
Having broken the encirclement ring, our division hurried to his aid.

“This was timely support for the troops of the 22nd Army, which were retreating to the area east of Nevel,” says the researcher. “By July 27, the army gained a foothold on the line of the upper reaches of the Lovat River – Velikiye Luki – Lake Dvinye and held this line until the end of August.”
(History of the Great Patriotic War, vol.2, p.71)

The battle for Velikiye Luki took place in open terrain and was even more fierce than the battle for Polotsk. The events of those days developed so quickly that it was difficult to follow them. The battles for Velikiye Luki were such that for more than a hundred kilometers in circumference the earth was on fire.
Retreating under attacks from reserve troops, the enemy brutally snapped back and used tanks and aircraft. And his air strikes were several times greater than our strikes, which we were again convinced of when we approached the Velikopolye station.
All that was left of the station building was broken bricks and ashes. All around lay a black field plowed by bombs with deep craters, at the bottom of which, in the water that emerged from under the soil, steel wheels from broken carriages and torn apart Soviet people stuck out.
In the first days of the battles for Velikiye Luki, our neighbor, the 214th, had a particularly hard time rifle division. She broke through the encirclement ring like we did near Nevel, lost a lot of equipment and, arriving in the area of ​​Porechye and Staraya Reka, took the battle from the march. The division fought bravely. Its fighters firmly held the line.
Shtarm 22 set another task for the 174th: to gain a foothold on the Kunya River in the Skaltsovo - Podol - Bolshaya Niva strip, which is 25 km southeast of Velikiye Luki.
Our units also arrived here from a difficult march, which lasted all day and all night. And again, chance brought me to meet with the 494th Infantry Regiment and its commander Ivan Trofimovich Kitaev.
Together with the soldiers and commanders, he spent three days without sleep, and he had a headache. Coming out of the semi-truck and shielding his face from the rays of the morning sun, V.T. Kitaev looked around sadly, probably thinking how here, on a bare field without a single bush, one could camouflage equipment and people.
After some thought, he gave the order to hide the vehicles in a ravine behind the Lobkovsky farm, and the soldiers began building dugouts and crevices. For several hours, the infantrymen and artillerymen worked, digging dry Velikiye Luki soil with shovels, covering the vehicles with straw, wormwood and tumbleweed bushes. And when they finished the work, the most attentive eye could not detect anything suspicious in the beam.
Before the evening, as I remember, no less than two enemy regiments, reinforced with tanks and supported by bombers, attacked I.T. Kitaev’s regiment.
We suffered a bomb attack from airplanes. Withstood the attack of tanks. The anti-tank guns of the second division of the 598th artillery regiment provided good support to the infantrymen.
The regiment held the occupied line for four days. Not a single fighter flinched before the enemy. You can’t count the heroes of these days!
On the approaches to Velikiye Luki, as well as near Polotsk, the battles did not subside for an hour. The fighting continued even at night. The Germans were in a hurry. The strategic node was too expensive for them railways. The enemy threw all his forces into capturing it, gaining a foothold in Velikiye Luki, making the city a stronghold and moving further east.
Usually the Nazis attacked the regiments in narrow areas no more than two kilometers wide. After them, the earth smoked, and it seemed that not a soul was left.
But the guns and machine guns came to life, our infantry rose to its height. Hot contractions lasted for several hours. This was the case in Dubovino. This was the case in Bolshaya Niva. This was the case throughout Velikiye Luki.
Severe trials fell on the shoulders of the 22nd Army at the end of August, when the enemy southwest of Velikiye Luki closed an encirclement ring around it.
I remember how hard it was for one of the batteries of the 598th artillery regiment in the battle near the village of Boldino. The gun commanders took care of the shells, hitting only targets visible to the naked eye, for sure. When was it released? last shells, and the enemy was moving to the heights of the guns, battery commander Donetsky and political instructor Safyanov raised everyone who could still move into a counterattack.
In this battle, both heroes were wounded, but they did not leave the ranks of the defenders, defended their firing positions, saved the guns, took them out, and most importantly, helped all of our infantry break away from the enemy in order to take a new line.
In the battles near Velikiye Luki, we once again experienced the inexorability and cruelty of the fascists. In this regard, I would like to cite at least two cases that I had the opportunity to witness.
On August 22 or 23, artillery division commander Linkov covered the retreat of the 508th Infantry Regiment. In the battle, deputy political instructor Ivan Ivakh was seriously wounded. The car with the wounded, in which he was put, got stuck on the road and was surrounded by the Germans. Finding a young commissar with red stars on the sleeves of his tunic, the Nazis doused the car with gasoline and set it on fire.
I remember well how once, at a halt somewhere in the Polotsk region, Ivan Ivakh told his comrades about his native steppes of Ukraine, about the city of Nezhin, where he studied, dreaming of becoming a teacher. A brave political fighter, a young Komsomol member, burned in the fire.
Let Ivan Ivakh be remembered with a kind, gentle word by his fellow countrymen, who will live and build communism!
After the death of Ivan Ivakh, one of the combat strike groups of the 508th Infantry Regiment witnessed the unusual cruelty of the Nazis. Having broken through the encirclement, the fighters occupied the edge of the forest. Somewhere to the right of the forest, in a village whose name, unfortunately, has already been forgotten, a wooden church burst into flames with a huge torch. The Germans fired heavy shells into the streets. The flames spread to the thatched roofs of the houses, and uncut grain began to burn around. Peasants poured out of the village to escape as best they could.
In an instant, the steppe was littered with broken carts, dead horses, and the corpses of men, women and children. Never have we heard such a desperate cry from those dying under shells and fire. Soviet people.
I’ll be honest, in the first months of the war I had to look death in the face more than once and say goodbye to my comrades who fell in battle. But to see so many women, children, babies killed in an open field... No, this will never be forgotten!
The Nazis apparently hoped that their atrocities would make us fear them. But the atrocities caused hatred. Every warrior realized that he had to fight hard until complete victory, as long as his eyes were looking and his hands were able to hold a rifle.
Combat when surrounded is always more difficult and dangerous. It requires a person to have special moral fortitude, a soldier’s devotion to his commander and military duty. Fighting surrounded places special demands on a commander of any rank, on whom the outcome of the fight depends. The commander’s confidence and his personal example help thousands of soldiers overcome the natural fear of death for every person, which especially increases in difficult conditions of retreat.
I remember the horse scout from Shadrinsk, Alexander Petrovich Volozhanin. He arrived at the front in mid-August. The son of a peasant from a poor family, a student of the Komsomol, a border guard fighter with Far East– The Volozhan resident immediately came under brutal bombing at the Velikopolye station. The first days at the front were difficult for him.
It was strange to look at the young soldier when the commander of the cavalry platoon, Petrov, handed him a white horse, as if for a parade, which was clearly visible three kilometers away.
- You won’t be lost with this handsome guy! - fighter Boris Sadovsky joked at Volozhanin, sitting in the saddle on a low but nimble brown mare.
But it was a real combat horse! In the very first battle, Volozhanin and Sadovsky hacked to death with blades two fleeing motorcyclists when their engine failed. More than once the white horse saved its owner both from a bullet and from captivity; he remained faithful to him until his last breath, as the dashing cavalryman himself will tell below.
It was a rare warrior who escaped encirclement. This word was established for a long time, became an apothegm, a byword, although it is not new in the history of all wars. It burned the consciousness like a plague and gave many an unpleasant feeling of doom. Volozhanin A.P. also experienced this feeling, but he did not lose his head, he believed in his star.
You can't get away with a parable on a horse. In the parable, even iron breaks. This is what Russian people said in the old days. And near Velikiye Luki in 1941, it was not iron—steel was melting. The artillery soldiers hit the Germans until the shells ran out. The infantrymen fired machine guns while the water boiled in the casing. And yet they endured, survived, and got out of encirclement again!
The soldiers and commanders of the 508th and 628th rifle regiments, led by Lieutenant Colonel E.G. Ushakov, fought steadfastly and bravely near Velikiye Luki. and P.S. Galayko, promoted to high positions in place of the deceased commanders, Colonels G.V. Pavlyuk and T.P. Miloradov. More than once at critical moments they took the lead and boldly led battalions into battle against the hated enemy.
During the war they became division commanders and ended the war in Germany.
The fearless Komsomol organizer Vasily Chernyshov and his company commander, Lieutenant Konstantin Korotkov, covered themselves with glory in battles while surrounded. They rallied many soldiers and commanders around them and instilled faith in a just cause. More than 100 people were taken out of the encirclement.
Having already finished working on the book, I received a registered parcel from the Urals - A.P. Volozhanin’s handwritten story “Memories and Reflections of a Soldier,” which he dedicated to his four sons and five grandchildren.
“We, soldiers of the forty-first, rejoice at the happiness of the Soviet people,” writes Alexander Petrovich in the dedication. “But we paid dearly for it.” Take care of this happiness! Study and work great! Remember, my children, the struggle in the world is not over. Always be ready to defend your native land!”
Many pages of the story are captivating with frank truth, which is not always found in young writers about the war. Therefore, we decided, with the consent of A.P. Volozhanin, to acquaint readers with his memoirs, and we include them after literary processing in this chapter.

“August 24, 1941
Today I saw our general Alexei Ivanovich Zygin. He spoke at the command post with Major Ushakov, who replaced the regiment commander Suprun, who had gone missing yesterday. The general held binoculars in his hand. Typical open Russian face. Excellent drill bearing. They say that Zygin is strict. But you can follow him through thick and thin!
Our 508th Infantry Regiment has been bombed all day. I can't breathe. Nerves are tense.
In the afternoon, machine gunners broke through to the headquarters vehicles. Boris Sadovsky and I joined the headquarters security company, destroyed some of the fascists, and drove the rest to the village. Our losses: one killed and two wounded.
Cars arrive at the grove all day. Battalions from the neighboring division are also gathered here.
A “corridor” has been left under Velikiye Luki. Everyone is talking about it. At night we must retreat and break out to our own people.
We are preparing for the march: we check the horses' sweatshirts, tighten the girths, shake out unnecessary things from the saddle bags, and fill them with cartridges. The cavalry detachment gathered more than fifty sabers.
Exactly 22 o'clock. Before us is our dear mother steppe. But it's a pity to look at her. There is a glow of fires all around. Villages and villages are burning. My land is burning.
August 25, 1941
Dawn found our column on its way. There are heavy implements and tractors on the road. All the servants around are fast asleep. Will the enemy really get the guns?
We entered the village, there was not a soul in the houses. We crossed the river. Someone in the column discovered a spy. He is dressed in our uniform, and underneath is a German one. The spy ran away, but was killed.
We stopped in the forest. All day long there is a shootout on the edges. The German is afraid to enter the forest and fires mortars at random. Bombs are going off somewhere, probably in the area of ​​the Kunya station. Everyone is looking forward to the night with hope, dreaming that it will be the last one surrounded.
At the end of the day, the headquarters of the two divisions merged and formed a single command. Now we have many vehicles and three generals. But we don’t know who their eldest is.
The generals decided to send one vehicle for ammunition. The choice fell on my fellow countryman, driver Alexei Bryukhanov. Alexey headed towards the car. But Dmitry caught up with him. “Listen, brother, let me go,” he said. Alexey didn't mind. The brothers hugged. Dmitry got behind the wheel, and the semi-truck with five soldiers set off.
We saw from the edge how the Germans set fire to the car. None of them returned. I feel sorry for Dmitry Bryukhanov, he was a good man.
When it got dark, our columns set off again. We walked along field roads and copses. There was a skirmish on the flanks, but we deviated from the battle.
Boris Sadovsky and I took an oath - not to leave each other in battle.
August 26, 1941
My eyes get used to the darkness, but I still can’t see anything under my feet. Our column stood up. They're probably expecting scouts.
Suddenly, rockets rise into the sky ahead. It becomes as bright as day. The command thunders:
- Battalion, to the right! Battalion, left! “And immediately the air was torn apart by fiery streaks running towards us in front and from the sides.
- Forward! – the old voice booms again. And numerous “hurrays” cover the steppe.
The cavalry is being held back, apparently being saved until a more necessary hour. I lead the horse by the bridle to preserve his strength. Bullets whistle above their heads, then at chest level, click against something, and whistle around.
After a few minutes everything goes silent. The Germans seemed to disappear underground.
The columns started moving. Our people have become bolder: they light cigarettes as they walk and talk loudly. Obviously, the guys thought: the path ahead was safe. How careless the Russian people are!
We've been walking for an hour. Somewhere off to the side an airplane is ringing. I noticed. Flying over us, he threw out flares on tiny parachutes. The enemy sees us. And we are blinded. Now not only machine guns, but also mortars are hitting the column.
- Checkers for battle! - the company commander gives the command.
Having spurred our horses, we overtake the chains and break into open space. We rush, seeing nothing in front of us except the night. We drive madly, our hand gets tired from the blade above our head. But who to cut? Where is the German?
The three of us, in the excitement of the race, broke away from our own and stopped only when the last hut of the village was in front of us.
I throw the reins of the horse into Sadovsky’s hands. I go into the house. I light a trophy lighter. Oh, wonder! On the table there is bread, bottles of unfinished wine and a full bowl of boiled chickens, and on the wall near the door are black German raincoats.
For three days we did not see a crumb of bread. Sitting near the hut and refreshing ourselves with unusually tasty food, at the other end of the village we hear the voices of the command in German and the sound of cart wheels. What to do? Don't sit here until morning.
We are back in the saddles. Let's jump to the northeast according to the compass. Boris Sadovsky points his blade at a narrow strip of river. "Their!" – he shouts, standing up in the saddle. But from the other shore they are bawling:
- Rus! Rus! Give up!
Wow! Here are your “owns”. There is wind in my ears again, and bullets behind me. Help me out, my horse!
Suddenly the earth began to hum. Hundreds of fighters are running across us with rifles in their hands.
- Stop! Stop! - we shout, stopping the horses. - There are Germans across the river. Back!
But no one listens to us. The fighters run like lava, nothing can stop them.
The Germans meet the front ones with machine guns. People are rushing about the steppe. We are rushing about on horseback. The horses shy away from the exploding mines and snore.
Where is Sadovsky? Where is my third comrade? I direct my horse in the direction where the stream of people rushed. Hoping to catch up with his comrades. But how cruelly I was mistaken! I rushed around the steppe for a long time, but did not find any friends.
The black bulk of the bridge stood in front of me when I, having overtaken the people, reined in my horse, dismounted and sat down by a tree.
- Screens – to the flank! - someone gives a command.
And - again, red ribbons of tracer bullets burst out from the other bank and disappeared. A stream of people, like ghosts, poured onto the bridge. Not a single scream, only a menacing continuous machine-gun roar.
The bridge's security is down. Now it's all about speed. Delay is like death. A pair of horses gallops along a wide street towards the bridge. I jump out onto the road.
- Well, honey, help me out! – I shout at the top of my lungs to my white giant.
Everything is like in a nightmare. The horse jumps over broken carts. Once, twice, three times...
The bridge is behind. And suddenly before my eyes there is a column of fire, smoke and the roar of an explosion - I seem to be flying into an abyss. But after a minute or two I hear again a loud “ah-ah!” ” and the tramp of human feet rushing past.
I jump up. I feel - whole. Carabiner on the back. I grab the blade with the torn sword belt. I'm frantically looking for the horse's reins. Here he is. And then I realize what happened. The horse's belly is torn open. I see a tear running down from my friend’s right eye.
- Farewell and forgive! - I say through tears and, staggering from side to side, join the living stream...”

After reading the memoirs of A.P. Volozhanin, the reader may think that the breakthrough of our troops in the Velikiye Luki area took place spontaneously. But this is far from true. There are no words, our communication in those days worked disgustingly. But the headquarters of both armies and divisions constantly gave their units specific combat missions. How they were carried out is another question.
Each commander in difficult situations was guided by the logic of the battle and the specific situation. But the situation, as you can see, was not in our favor. And it is not surprising that in a single impulse, individual fighters broke away from their platoons, companies and battalions, created separate combat groups and left the encirclement on their own.
The strength of spirit, perseverance and dedication of soldiers and commanders, coupled with exceptional devotion to the Fatherland, solved the common cause, albeit at the cost of great sacrifices.
The 174th Rifle Division and the 22nd Army as a whole inflicted significant losses on the Nazis during fierce battles. The 22nd Army and one of its best, the 174th division, did not stop fighting, but more on that in the next chapter.
The troops of the 22nd Army fought against the Nazis on Velikiye Luki soil for 33 days. The soldiers of our division, like all other troops, did everything they could to defend Velikiye Luki. Their heroic struggle forced the German command to concentrate significant forces in the Velikiye Luki direction, instead of transferring them to other sectors of the front, in particular to Smolensk direction, where in those days there were decisive battles with the invaders rushing towards Moscow.
These battles hardened the soldiers, commanders and political workers, strengthened their faith in the strength and power of their weapons, and confidence in the final victory over the enemy. The fighters acquired good training and combat hardening during the 33-day battles people's militia to further struggle behind enemy lines.

The 46th Guards Rifle Division traces its history back to the 174th Rifle Division (2nd formation) formed in May 1942 on the basis of the 6th Rifle Brigade as part of the 6th Reserve Army of the Supreme Command Headquarters.

Since July 1942, the 174th Infantry Division, as part of the 6th Army of the Voronezh Front, has been leading fighting with the Nazi troops on the Don. On August 5, the army attacked the troops of the German and Hungarian armies, crossed the Don and captured its right bank Storozhevsky bridgehead, near the city of Korotoyak - southwest of Voronezh. During the period of battles for Petropavlovka And Korotoyak- from July to September, the 174th Infantry Division defeated two - the 75th and 336th German and two - the 4th and 12th Hungarian infantry divisions, the 685th and 686th separate German infantry regiments, two cavalry squadrons and the 337th separate regiment of Hungarians, a number of special units and units assigned to them.

October 10, 1942 174th Infantry Division by Order No. 308 People's Commissar Defense Marshal Soviet Union I.V.

If in your family archive photographs of your relative have been preserved and you will send his biography - this will give us the opportunity to perpetuate the memory of a warrior who took part in the hostilities of the Great Patriotic War of 1941 - 1945, on the territory of the Republic of Latvia.

The feat that the soldiers performed in defense and the liberation of the Republic of Latvia led to Our Victory, and the memory of the people who gave their lives for this will not be forgotten.

I first learned about it a couple of weeks ago, while processing the list of soldiers killed in the Second World War in my village. Of the forty residents who did not return from the war, four were drafted on June 5-7, 1941 into the 308th infantry regiment of the 98th infantry division. Three natives of the village were mentioned in one document, so I decided to dwell on it in more detail. I uploaded the loss list entries from the OBD and made a couple of summary tables in Excel.

Brief history of the division.

I tried to collect data about the division on the Internet, but the information was fragmentary and confusing, and due to lack of knowledge, I probably misunderstood/misinterpreted something. In 1939, in Udmurtia, 98 infantry regiments were created on the basis of 166 rifle regiments. On June 5-7, 1941, it was held partial mobilization and on June 10-15, the division begins loading into echelons for exercises in the Leningrad Military District. Already during the movement, the destination was changed and on June 20-22, the first units of the division were unloaded at the Dretun station in Eastern Belarus. Organizationally, the division was part of the 51st Rifle Corps.

At the end of June - beginning of July, the division occupied positions along the right bank of the Western Dvina from Drissa (Verkhnedvinsk) to Disna and covered the right flank of the Polotsk UR. Actually, in the defense zone of the 98th Infantry Division, on July 3, 1941, the German 19th Infantry Division captured a bridgehead on the right bank. Unable to withstand the massive artillery barrage, the unfired fighters of the 166th infantry regiment of the 98th infantry division abandoned their positions and ran. The commander of the 166th rifle division, Major Zainullin Kalimulla Agliullovich, was shot for leaving positions without an order, and the division commander was removed from his post. Further, the regiments of the 98th Infantry Division, together with the remnants of the 126th Infantry Division, which had recently emerged from encirclement, unsuccessfully try to eliminate the bridgehead on which the Germans are gathering forces. On July 12, the German 57th Motorized Corps (19th Tank and 14th Motorized Divisions) broke through the Soviet defense from this bridgehead, as a result, the entire 51st Motorized Corps was surrounded. Two incomplete rifle divisions were able to hold back the advance of the German corps for more than a week.

Having lost its equipment, the division breaks out of the encirclement; after the first encirclement, consolidated regiments consisting of the 170th infantry regiment were created from the remnants of the 98th and 112th divisions. At the end of August, the remnants of the division were again surrounded in the area of ​​the city of Velikiye Luki. This time they were unable to break through to their own people in an organized manner; they went out in small groups; on September 26, 1941, the division was disbanded.

Disposition of division units during formation:

• headquarters of the 98th rifle division - Izhevsk
• 4th Infantry Regiment - Izhevsk
• 166th Infantry Regiment - Sarapul
• 308th Infantry Regiment - Mozhga
• 153rd Light Artillery Regiment - Glazov
• 155th Howitzer Artillery Regiment - Izhevsk
• 157th separate anti-tank defense division - Glazov
• 285th separate anti-aircraft artillery division - Glazov
• 76th separate reconnaissance battalion - Votkinsk
• 84th separate engineer battalion - Votkinsk
• 108th separate communications battalion - Izhevsk

Estimation of the strength of the 98th Infantry Division on the eve of the war.

1. In his memoirs, the chief of staff of the 51st IC Sazonov K.I. writes that all divisions of the corps in peacetime were maintained at a staff of 4/120 (5864 people)
2. In total, 10,980 people were assigned to the 98th Infantry Division. commanders and privates [CDNI UR, f.350, op. 1a, d.64, l.27]
3. Before the start of the war, a certain number of reservists were called up; Sazonov in his memoirs writes in one place 6,000 people, in another - 50% of reservists. In the compilers' comments there is an amendment to Sazonov's memoirs, he writes that the 112th Infantry Division called up 8,000 reservists, the compilers, with reference to TsAMO, correct him: according to one order, 5,000 reservists were called up, according to another order, an additional 1,000 reservists. Most likely, 50% of the reservists, that is, 5,000 people, were also drafted into the 98th Infantry Division.

The 84th Special Infantry Division in March 1941 was sent to Kaunas to develop a new border, thus, without an engineer battalion, by the beginning of the war the strength of the division, taking into account the mobilized reservists, was approximately 10 thousand people. Moreover, according to the staff of 04/400-416, the division should have had 14,483 people.

In 1939, six twin rifle divisions were formed in the Urals Military District: 98, 112, 153, 170, 174 and 186. I briefly read their history, there is general scheme: a core of career military personnel and assigned reservists, all reservists had previously served in the Red Army, during 1940 they were called up for training and passed extra education at the training grounds. Three of them, when surrounded near Nevel, lost their staff documents.

1. personal list of losses of the 98th Infantry Division (TsAMO f. 58, op. 818883, d. 619) Udmurt Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic - 4738 people
2. personal list of losses of the 112th Infantry Division (TsAMO f.58, op.818883, d.617) Molotov region - 4567 people
3. personal list of losses of the 170th infantry division (TsAMO f. 58, op. 818883, no. 617) Bashkir Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic - 5966 people

So, the personal list of losses of the 98th Infantry Division (TsAMO f. 58, o. 818883, no. 619).

Encircled, the division lost all its headquarters documents, and since during the entire battle the division headquarters never sent data on losses, in July-September 1942, a commission worked in the Udmurt Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic to compile a list of division fighters, which we are considering.

The first page of the case indicates that in total the commission managed to compile lists of 6,109 people:

• There is a notice of death or missing person - 138 people.
• Discharged from the army due to injury or illness (living at home) - 521 people.
• 57 people are being treated in hospitals.
• Fate unknown - 4600 people.
• Relatives were not found - 268 people.
• Located in other parts of the Red Army - 520 people.
• 5 people are in custody.

The nominal list includes only 4,738 people, that is, only those killed and missing, 1,103 living at the time of compiling the list, and 268 people for whom relatives were not found are not included in it.

The document consists of three logical blocks with separate numbering of records:

• missing privates, 4476 entries (by numbering - 4453), 19 entries crossed out or marked alive, numbering in several places is confused
• missing commanders and specialists, 143 entries (by numbering - 147), in two places the numbering is confused
• records of the dead, 138 records (matching numbering)

Total: on the main page it is stated that there are 4738 people on the list, but in fact there are 4757 entries, of which 15 are marked alive and 30 people are listed twice.

Distribution by military registration and enlistment office.

The first thing that catches your eye is the uneven number of conscripts across military registration and enlistment offices:

• the list does not include the Vavozhsky and Kuliginsky RVK, only 1 person is listed for the Sarapulsky RVK
• Only commanders were called up by the Poninsky, Mozhginsky and Yarsky RVCs
• Balezinsky, Glazovsky, Debessky, Karsovaysky and Pudemsky were called up only privates

Actually, the reason for conducting this analysis: I know that one of the residents of my village, Red Army soldier Efim Shustov, served in the 308th rifle regiment, was drafted by the Mozhginsky RVK in June 1941 and was captured near Nevel, but he is not in the report and according to the name list in Mozhga only staff I began to investigate further, on the obd-memorial, according to the reports of the Vavozhsky RVK, among the missing there are those called up on June 5, 1941, in the report of those called up by the Vavozhsky RVK - 0. I found three natives of the Kuliginsky district, whom the military registration and enlistment office sent to the 4th joint venture 98th infantry division on the 20th June, but in the report of those called up by the Kuliginsky RVC - 0.

The list is clearly not complete; information on several military registration and enlistment offices is missing.

Distribution by year of birth.

The conscripts born in 1885-1900 were confused; the majority of 40-45-year-old privates were conscripted by the Grakhovsky, Votkinsk and Malopurginsky RVKs, it seems to me that these are clearly erroneous inclusions.

The bulk of conscripts were born in 1905-1918, i.e. by 1941 they were 23-36 years old. The most numerous age group– Born in 1911, there were 574 of them, 30 years old at the beginning of the war.

The graph shows a very strange drop in the number of conscripts born after 1911; I couldn’t find a reasonable explanation for this; several factors could have influenced the shape of the graph:

• because of the First World War and Civil War there was a significant drop in the birth rate, the generation born in 1915-23 is on average 20-30% less than the pre- and post-war generations, but this does not explain either the peak of 1911 or the drop to the near-zero value of 1919
• between 1925 and 1935, the number of the Red Army was minimal, and the number of trained reservists decreased accordingly; after 1935, the number of the Red Army constantly grew, i.e. on the graph this should be reflected in growth starting in 1915, but this is also not the case
• There are practically no conscripts born in 1919-21 on the list; they have already passed conscript service and accordingly they couldn’t get into the 98th Infantry Division

I selectively tried to search by name and year of birth for entries on the Memory of the People website, usually found:

1. An entry from this list with strange data: went missing no later than November 1942 in the Kalinin or Stalingrad region, but this was a technical error by the compilers of the OBD.
2. Request for search by relatives of a missing soldier.
3. Records of deaths in the 357th Infantry Division are less common; most likely this is a mistake by the compilers of the list, who included those called up in August-October 1941. The 357th Rifle Division was also formed in Udmurtia, but later.
4. Even rarer is information about captivity or service after 1941 in other parts of the Red Army.

In general, the document leaves a feeling of tailoring the solution to the problem to a previously known result. Perhaps the commission knew that approximately 6,000 reservists entered the 98th Rifle Division, so after collecting 6,109 names, the work stopped, and this explains the lack of lists in some areas and the erroneous inclusion of age conscripts in others.

Zaripov Khoziy Zaripovich
I am looking for information about Khadiy Zaripovich Zaripov, born April 5, 1910, was drafted into the army from the Shurminsky district military registration and enlistment office in 1941. Notification received that he went missing in 1941.

Request code: 23828
IN SEPTEMBER 1941, the 174th division fought in the KALININ region = now the Tver region. One fighter GATAULLIN ZINNATULLA fought in the 508th rifle regiment of the 174th infantry regiment (PPS 301) and died of wounds in September in Andreapol.
READ HERE:

(one person reconstructed the combat path of his relative who fought in the 174th Infantry Division)
On October 10, 1941, the Kalinin defensive operation began on the northern flank of the Moscow direction. Soviet troops retreated: on October 7, the Germans captured Andreapol, on October 8 - Nelidovo, on October 11 - Pogoreloe Gorodishche and Zubtsov, on October 12 - Staritsa and Olenino. Caught Between by German troops units of the 29th and 31st armies in the Rzhev area were unable to organize a worthy rebuff to the advancing enemy. On October 10, the 31st Army was operationally subordinated to the Military Council of the 29th Army.
The most important thing for you is to get a response from TsAMO = if they respond with a place, region or name settlement, in which the 174th Infantry Division fought on October 9, 1941, then you will write to that region.
