Biography of Nedorubov

Knowing how the celebration was carefully fought for this, it is just right to be surprised: the biography of Konstantin Nedorubov gave a formal reason not to even put him in the front line of the winners, not to mention the solemn feast with the leaders of the state. It was clearly authorized by a tribute to a person of an amazing fate, unbending will and courage.

Four George and the star of the hero in Russian history are six of them only, in the First World War of the complete gentlemen of the St. George Cross, and for the exploits in the Great Patriotic War of the Hero of the Soviet Union. The biography of the latter is full of unexpected turns and sometimes it seems unrealistic if it were not for confirming the documents and memories of eyewitnesses.

Nedorubova ... He was born in the year on the Farm of the Rubezhny Danilovsky district now in the Volgograd region in the family of the Don Cossack. Education was limited to elementary school, and since the year Konstantin Nedorubov served in the army - in the Donskoy regiment. The service was in the hunt, which was noted: he met the First World War with the rank of officer a modern analogy - a sergeant.

Not even a month has passed since the beginning of the hostilities, and Nedorubov was one of the first at the front awarded the 4th degree soldier's St. George Cross. In August, he was summoned to the commander of the 2nd Army General from Cavalry Alexander Samsonov. He himself commanded Cossack troops for many years, he decided to set the difficult task to the Cossacks: to remove the German artillery battery from the route of the upcoming offensive.

The officer of the Nedorubov was appointed senior and did not disappoint the general: together with his colleagues, penetrated the location of the battery, blew up a warehouse with ammunition and brought several prisoners of Nedorubov fifty for one! The next order-the 3rd degree-received a desperate officer six months later for a unique operation, which he "turned" alone.

On the February morning, his group of scouts came to ambush in Galicia and was destroyed. Nedorubov, the only one with difficulty fought off the enemy, but was left without a horse.

Having reached some kind of farm, he heard German speech-the Austrians were located in the house. Without thinking twice, the Cossack opened the door and threw the grenade. The survivors ran out, and under the muzzle of a carbine of Nedorubov ordered to build and led towards the front line. In the Russian trenches, they were amused: the Donskoy officer captured 52 people!

George of the 2nd degree of Nedorubov, who commanded the fifty hundred, deserved in June for a desperate hand-to-hand fight during the Brusilovsky breakthrough. With his subordinates, he managed to break through the triple series of wire fences and find the enemy in trenches by surprise. His fifty was captured by 8 Austrian officers and almost other ranks. The next sortie, after which the subjunction of Nedorubov became the full St.

George Cavalier, was distinguished by the same swift and insolence. Cossacks under his command raided the headquarters of the infantry division. He was so unexpected for the enemy that almost without loss managed to capture important documents and captured several senior German officers. Division commander General Karl Fabarius managed to shoot himself. Nedorubova both for the White and the Reds ...

For the three years of the First World War, the subjunar Konstantin Nedorubov was seriously injured three times, for several months he was treated in hospitals. After the last wound, he returned to his homeland in October. But the hopes for a peaceful life were not justified: not even a year has passed, as his experienced and respected by the Cossacks of the Cossacks, they called General Peter Krasnov into the ranks of the White Don Army.

He stored for only a month: in July, he was captured and immediately found himself in the ranks of the Red Army. The agitation moment affected: if the full St. George Cavalier advocates for Soviet power, then what is there to think of the rest of the Cossacks! Although the reward - a named weapon - the squadron commander of Nedorubov received well deservedly: his Cossacks distinguished themselves near Tsaritsyn.

In the winter of the year, the wounded, he was captured again - now to the white. He did not last long, in June he moved to the Reds, where he took a squadron in the famous first horse army of Semyon Budyonny. He reached the Crimea, where, having distinguished himself in the battles with the Wrangelians, he earned the main award at that time - the Order of the Red Banner.

He returned from the hospital in his native farm in the year. The wounds healed, the economy of the house was established, he did not speak out against the unfolding collectivization, but, on the contrary, was chosen in the year as chairman of the collective farm. But in M ​​became an “enemy of the people”: a denunciation received a denunciation to Nedorubov that, they say, he allowed grain loss when harvesting.

At that time, they did not particularly understand: a short investigation and ordinary sentence - 10 years in prison. The deadline was serving on the construction of the Moscow channel. Hunger, the most difficult working conditions and everyday life, but the Ned -Rudov did not give up. Moreover, an innocently condemned he, out of habit, worked with full dedication, for which he was ahead of schedule after three years later.

Returning to his native lands, he began with a storekeeper, and before the Great Patriotic War he worked as a foreman on the collective farm. Nedorubov, the famous Kushchevskaya did not take him to the front: not a draft age, 52 years old.When in the fall of the year he tried to sign up for the Cossack division that was formed in Uryupinsk, he received a tough refusal: he fought against the Red Army in the civil war, again a criminal record.

After the petition of the district authorities and respected old Cossacks, he still went to meet him - Nedorubov was called up and appointed the squadron commander. To his beginning, he took the summer son of Nicholas. Among the most significant battles of the Guards Cavalry Regiment, which included the squadron of Lieutenant Konstantin Nedorubov, was the Kushchevskaya attack in the summer of the year.

The village of Kushchevskaya lay in the way of the enemy, blocking the path deep into the Kuban. The Germans were preparing to increase further offensive. For them, the Cavalry attack of the Cossacks without artillery preparation from the standpoint, which they came out completely imperceptibly for reconnaissance, was a complete surprise. The squadron of Nedorubov destroyed the more Nazis.

Hand -to -hand contractions are the advantage of the Cossacks, who almost from childhood mastered the nuances of near -battle and perfectly owned cold weapons. The Germans tried in every possible way to avoid such clashes. Later, restraining the enemy in the Kushchevskaya area, the Cossacks fearlessly counterattacked him in foot. In one of the episodes of arrears with his son, they kept the defense for three hours: the losses of the attackers amounted to 72 people - this is an infantry company!

After the defeat near Kushchevskaya, Hitler sent the Army Group “A” in the North Caucasus General-Field Marshal Wilhelm sheet a radiogram of unequivocal content: “Another Kushchevka will be repeated, do not study, walk in a penal company through the Caucasus Mountains.” The sheet, of course, did not become a penaltyman, but was removed from his post and remained in the Wehrmacht reserve until the end of the war.

For successful battles in the Kuban of the guard, Captain Konstantin Nedorubov in October was awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union. Nedorubova with crosses in the front row at the end of the year after the next severe wound for all there were 11 of them! What was his surprise when, after a year and a half, he received an invitation to take part in the Victory Parade. In Red Square, he marched with the star of the hero, Soviet awards and four St.

George Crosses on the uniform. Nedorubova died a front -line soldier in a year, not having lived a few months before his flying. On one of them, in front of the memorial and historical museum, he was displayed at the end of the First World War in Cossack form with all four St. George Crosses. The name of Konstantin Nedorubov is worn by three schools and the Volgograd Cadet Cossack Corps, a street in Moscow is named in honor of the hero.

She was laid down with other veterans of the Great Patriotic War by Konstantin Nedorubov with the order: to read on the day of the Flight of the Great Victory. The front -line soldiers then expressed confidence: their descendants will be worthy of the memory of the glorious defenders of the Fatherland!
