… It sat down on a bed
Let memory knows no limit also times,
Let the song won’t cease
About feats right!
B. Serman
… It sat down on a bed. Memoirs as one hundred wild cats seized soul and didn’t release. Revived in memory, all of them were still fresh and tragic. In this room everything was familiar: in a corner a set of medical tools, a stretcher, "zadubevshy" from the blood of the wounded fighters spilled on them, and a record player, Claudia Shulzhenko’s informing voice. The singer suggests to light on one and to forget, though for few minutes, about sorrows of war. Here Dilyarochka Bikbayev, the second lieutenant of a health service, smiles from the photo. Timidly taking then the first steps in military medicine, it in November, 1941 heroically was lost, rescuing wounded from the sinking Armenia motor ship. Many such here little girls whom called desperate, took out on the fragile shoulders not one hundred wounded, often at the cost of the life.
– Matvei Ivanovich, is time to begin … – a voice of the young artist writing a picture for a museum of fighting glory of 51 armies, the former hospital No. 170, pulled out colonel Salkov from sharp-clawed paws memoirs.
… In days of defense of the Crimea, in the territory of the village of Klepinino, in a building of the former rural school, the reception and sorting office and a hospital No. 170 drugstore settled down. The personnel of hospital was created from teachers and students of older years of the Crimean medical institute by the order of the chief of medicosanitary service of 51 armies of the colonel of a health service of Matvei Ivanovicha Salkov, the former director of institute. Reception and sorting office the captain of a health service Evgenia Sipko directed. The head a muzeyaviktor Isaakovich Ponomarenko found for Evgenia Vasilyevnubessmenny later some tens years after the termination vojnyv Stavropol. It arrived to Klepinino, and in common they issued one of museum halls in the form of hospital chamber.
At stands all exhibits original – the Komsomol ticket of the pharmacy manager of Sokolova, a front overcoat of colonel M.A.Titov, front shoulder straps of colonel Salkov and, certainly, a picture the Colonel M. Salkov in one of hospital chambers.
In the second room constantly there are fresh flowers in gratitude that who in practice helped Victor Ponomarenko to make so that ardent heart of a museum fought.
The big help to a museum was rendered by the former soldier of the 51st army taking direct part in liberation of the Crimea, the gentleman of the Award of Alexander Nevsky, later the Minister of Agriculture of USSR M.V.Khorunzhy.
Outstanding voyenonachalnik – marshals of the Soviet Union of A.M.Vasilevsky, P.K.Kosheva, generals P.I.Batov, A.T.Altunin, G.F.Zakharov, admiral G. I.Levchenko were chiefs of a museum.
In a museum five exposition halls. In them unique materials about a fighting way of 51 armies which in 1941 defended are collected, and in the spring 1944 released the Crimea from fascists. In them memory of that war, its pain, its force is collected. Memory is carefully stored in weapon fragments with which died, in photos live and lost, in the turned yellow front letters by all means beginning … mother, I am live, healthy, I will return soon.
The hall No. 1 is devoted to formation of 51 armies and participation of her fighters in defense of the Crimea by autumn of 1941. These days on the Crimean front there was war reporter Konstantin Simonov. Having passed through itself all horror and pain of losses, it publishes article in the newspaper Crimean star Death for death. It was the material first in the central press about fights in the Crimea. The keeper of a museum, Victor Isaakovich, is very proud of that strong was on friendly terms in due time with the writer and that, as a sign of support presented to a museum the book From Lopatin’s notes with the autograph. And later sent the photos certified by own signature on which scenes from the performance put on this book are embodied.
The ninetieth years became critical not only in the history of our country, but also a klepininsky museum. All began that strange "walkers" who demanded from it not excursions, and … a building of the museum began to visit Victor Ponomarenko. And here then his true keeper applies to accept his "child" on balance of the Ukrainian academy of agrarian sciences. And the museum of fighting glory of 51 armies joins a friendly family of the Crimean institute of agroindustrial production of UAAN. Here and to this day it preserve in a family way, as the younger brother. And the present director of institute Vladimir Stepanovich Pashtetsky helps a museum to develop, that sacred memory of a fighting feat of our people wasn’t forgotten. With its direct support on May 9 this year in Klepinino’s village solemn opening of a monument to the fellow countrymen heroes who were lost at liberation of the Crimea will take place.
Heroes of the Great Patriotic War well know that any victory begins with a feat! The victory over fascism was put at the very beginning of war – dying in the last ditch frontier posts, Brest! The tragedy of the last years is that lessons of the past remained unclaimed and the past of very few people interests. There are no the heroes contemporaries which feat would unite people, forced them to feel the people, instead of faceless "consumer society".
But while live and such people as Victor Isaakovich Ponomarenko involving in good business of preservation of heroic memory of the people a tribe young work, society of consumers to us not to become. Important that excursions in a museum are carried out by pupils of Klepininsky comprehensive school of a name of the 51st army. Under the sensitive guide of the keeper of a museum they correspond, help to make out materials and, the most important, well know history of the Homeland, honor names of the heroes who were lost for its release. So the thread connecting generations, won’t break and new generations of people learn about the heroic past of the country.
Inevitably leave, are dissolved in eternity and the people involved in Great war – generation of winners. It would be desirable to express the admiration of this beautiful, become example for all to the people, capable a power of love to the Homeland and self-sacrifice to bear monstrous burden of war and post-war revival. Thanks to their efforts and victims we live on our earth. Their firmness, will and thirst of life strikes us and now! The veterans who have passed the flaring hell of battles, the inconsolable widows who have grown up in the half-starved country of children, being exhausted at plants and fields devotees of the back, we will always remember you!
