History 22/03/20 How to actually Brezhnev fought in Malaya Ground
For most of his contemporaries, Leonid Brezhnev, hung with dozens of awards the Secretary General of the CPSU Central Committee, at the end of his political career, has lost control not only over themselves but also over the state. Meanwhile, he was a veteran of the great Patriotic war. The fact that Brezhnev was in the army he served “only” the political leader is far from the truth in his military career.
what he started the war
According to the Russian state archive of contemporary history, Leonid Brezhnev, since the early 1930-ies successfully made a party career in Ukraine (the first serious post – simpledisplayname of Dniprodzerzhynsk city Executive Committee of the Communist party), in March 1941, was elected Secretary of Dnipropetrovsk regional Committee for the defense industry. Brezhnev first 2 years, served in the military in the army, according to RIA “Novosti”, this experienced cadre in the party, was a political Commissar of a tank company in Zabvo from 1935 to 1936.
Political boss
According to the same RIA of “news” (it is confirmed by the data of the Central archive of the Ministry of defense), in fact, all the Great Patriotic war Leonid Brezhnev served as a political officer, and, in high enough positions in the political administration of the southern front (the first two years of the war), then North-Caucasian and 4th Ukrainian fronts.
In 1943, by order dated March 16, Colonel Leonid Brezhnev (then – Deputy head of the political Department of the black sea group of forces North Caucasus front) was awarded the order of the red Star (corresponding to the scanned order on the portal of the “exploit people” of the defense Ministry public). It is noteworthy premium next to him (Brezhnev, according to this order, is one of four knights of this order): head of the ensemble of red army song and dance, artist of the newspaper “Forward to victory” and the assistant to the head of the courses of the Vice mouth for political parts (all four of them belong to black sea group of forces EGFR).
It was the first official war medal of Leonid Brezhnev during the great Patriotic war.
whether it was Concealed from the bullets
Soviet biography of the “Second Lenin” was thoroughly mythologized, and not without his direct involvement. This applies to military history, Leonid Brezhnev, heroes in the “biographical” book “Malaya Zemlya”.
But the documentary evidence of the battles of the 18th landing army, black sea group of forces of SKF, where he served in 1943 Leonid Brezhnev in Novorossiysk (springboard Small earth) talking about the fact that the Colonel of the political administration of SKF was at this time (February – September 1943), on the front line dozens of times, and it happened, manifested itself as a sensible leader. Although received for his part in the liberation of Malaya Zemlya “only” the order of the Patriotic war I degree.
On the website “feat of the people” is a scanned copy of the order on awarding of Leonid Brezhnev with the order (date deed – September 1943, geography – “Myskhako”, “compact”, specifics, details of the feat is missing – everything is generally: “private participation in hostilities, active participation in the formulation and implementation of plans of operations”, “often traveled to battle orders and parts”, “manage to focus the political Department”… the Word “model has met the tasks of command”.
During the war, Leonid Brezhnev in fact received only two awards, a second, less significant status, however, was the most media-significant, since the feat of the future Secretary General during the war, described the newspaper “Pravda” in one of his rooms in 1943. It was a reprint of notes posted by “the banner of the homeland” (newspaper Brezhnev’s 18 th air army of the black sea group of forces EGFR) Sergey Borzenko.
Borzenko wrote that the head of the political Department of the army Brezhnev (first) sorokalete sailed on the beachhead little Land, and once he was wounded (his boat hit a mine; the instructor then lay in hospiThale). Secondly, the future Secretary General, according to the journalist, “physically worked” on one of the machine-gun calculations, consisting of fighters of Deposit, allegedly confused during the attack of the Nazis. According to the article Borzenko, due to the persistent “physical effects” (which it was expressed in historical documents and not reflected, but you can easily imagine what it is like in war), the gunners destroyed the advancing Germans until they retreated.
it is Noteworthy that the journalist Borzenko (as stated in the order – “a writer for the army newspaper”) was a Hero of the Soviet Union even before Leonid Brezhnev – the title was given to him on 17 November 1943 as one of the first paratroopers who landed in the fortified area of the enemy. Judging by the scan order at the “Feat of the people”, officer Borzenko was able not only to write articles and notes, but also to take command of the soldiers in the attack, directly into the attack – when “decline the officers”.
