Fight Ulus Curt

29 september was seven months from the beginning of that heroic and tragic battle under Ulus Curt: when our countryman Alexander Gardt died. It hurts and bitterly in the soul, when you think that the mistakes of politicians are corrected by our soldiers and officers. Another thought: Which of the command is to blame for the fact that the company paratroopers was forced to join the battle with more than a two-thousandmed grouping of militants? Do I have the right to argue about the actions of our command?

I served in the army into a relatively prosperous 70s. I had to participate, how to express it, in the performance of certain tasks to our military unit. The officers of political and special departments strongly recommended "not talking about it." In general, from its army service, I made a conviction: only those who participated in these events can be judged on the actions of the participants in bloody events. Only those who fought there himself could be judged on the actions of our command in Chechnya. As well as their dear. After all, they gave Russia the most expensive: their sons, brothers, husbands, fathers.

What happened under ulus-kert? On the eve, the federal troops conducted a successful operation, the forces of militants were knocked out of the reference points. Their grouping was dissected for two. Up to a thousand militants went to Komsomolskaya. The federal troops were surrounded there and were defeated after heavy fighting. More than a two thousandth group led by Hattaba moved to Dagestan. According to the testimony of the prisoners, they wanted to capture several hundreds, maybe thousands of hostages and force the Russian government to negotiate. The sixth company of the 104th Guards Parachute Regiment with the attached platoon and two interlocks was put forward to the ulus-kert with the task of blocking one of the exits from the Argun Gorge. The paratroopers occupied the dominant heights of 705.6 and 776. Forward the intelligence was nominated.

This intelligence and discovered militants. Fight battle. Universal Commander Senior Lieutenant Alexey Vorobiev caused reinforcement. However, militants became more and more. While the intelligence officers led the battle, the remaining paratroopers were fixed at altitudes. There were no time for this time. Soon the surviving scouts retreated to the basic powers of the sixth company. The militants began to accumulate for attack. He led the actions of the paratroopers Kombat, Lieutenant Colonel Mark Evtukhin. The militants came to contact with him. These were field commanders Idris and Abawa. They offered paratroopers to miss the militants in Dagestan. The paratroopers refused. Began assault. Against Alexey Vorobyov again. He destroyed the Field commander Idris. For a while, the militants were laugh, then again went to the attack. Walked B. full height. Dozens of militants fell, but they were replaced by new and new ones. In some areas, paratroopers discarded the enemy in hand-to-hand.

A reinforcement was going to the sixth company, but the militants were so much that, while some wagoned with paratroopers, others were tied up with reinforcements. On militants led fire artillery. Aviation was not applied due to hanging fog.

Among the defense paratroopers were Novozybkovac Sasha Gardt. He beat the enemy from his machine gun and fought until the last cartridge in the literal sense of the word. Before the death of Sasha shot his ammunition. The paratroopers were bravely fused, but the forces were too unequal. The militants burst into position and on March 3, when a terrible hand-to-hand fight at altitudes began, Combat Mark Yevtukhin aroused the fire of artillery. It happened at 5 o'clock in the morning, and at 6 o'clock 10 minutes the connection with the paratroopers was interrupted.

84 The paratrooper died at altitudes between the Curt Ulus and the Selmazen. But the militants did not manage to break into Dagestan. More than 500, according to some data, up to 700 militants destroyed the sixth company. The rest persecuted special forces, destroyed aviation and artillery. Of the more than 2000 militants in the forest under CA-Went came about 400. Part of them, throwing beards, felt at home, and the most irreconcilable, crashing into small groups, went further into the mountains.

Without exaggeration, it can be said that the paratroopers prevented by their heroic death of the paratroopers in the Caucasus in the Caucasus, there were thousands of lives of the civilians of Dagestan and Russian soldiers.

Named the name of the hero

Life often puts us in such conditions that you have to choose between true and false, good and evil, life and death. Alexander Gerdt has already done his choice. Shooting the ammunition to the last cartridge, a nineteen-year-old guy did not kneel before the ruthless motley enemy, confirming the valor of the Russian soldier. For his feat, he posthumously awarded the Golden Star of the Hero of Russia.

Last week, at school, a blue well, where Sasha come from, on the initiative of the district council of deputies, the opening of a memorial plaque set in honor of the hero took place. A decision was made, a syncolodetsk school and one of the streets of the village to assign the name Alexander Gerdt.

Do not return the mother's mother, a country of a young healthy person who could a lot to do for the benefit of fraud. All that in the forces of the living is forever to keep the names of the fallen heroes in memory, among them Alexander Gardt.

« Mom, I saw hell ... »

To the village of Mount Route -

Homemade home is once somehow a sin.

Torvalo-eyed heart and broke.

And the Castle Maternal Creek

Ripped the spring day, and as if

Started the old apple orchard.

Only the sky is silently silent,

Yes, somewhere ravens fly.

Spring of the two thousandth only declared himself a pure heavenly azure and awakened droplets. Somewhere very far was the war. On the homeland of Sasha, in the village with a clean calling the blue well, everyone knew that there were no letters from him for a long time. Mother tried not to think about bad and ran every day to the post office. Fortunately, she is near, through the house. Waiting for the postal minibus as God. And so for two months. Though I waited for the news every minute, they got out unexpectedly: called from the military registration and enlistment office - it is necessary to go to Rostov to identify.

Anna Vasilyevna did not know what God to pray so that it was a mistake.

From that first day, when the terrible message flies to a blue well, got sick. Like a black Savan sketched on him.

The fellow countrymen were waiting for the fellow countrymen Sasha, Kononili to the whole world.

Gorky was from the grief, which was satisted by the air and the walls of the house, from the fire of melting candles, from the smell of drugs: the mother did no injections without the end.

"Terepi, cock, Anna," said someone in a low voice. - You even know exactly what is yours.

And peering into the face of a soldier who as if she looked at everyone in a tiny window with a smile frozen on his lips, a sad monologue of the souls of the gathered, regretting and him, and Anna Vasilyevna, and everyone who had suffered such a fate.

Zinc cold
Caught hands
Chest corner
Tel snapped.
Righteous
For what these flour,
Than my son
Did you warm up?

And he seemed to repent that she brought the Mother's Mount and his own, as if he asked for forgiveness for the fact that he had failed to save himself.

Mom, I saw hell,
Mom, I was scared.
A few days in a row
Lasted that fight is terrible.
Mom, I saw death
With my own eyes,
Fire creepy merry
Viciously circled us.
It was not given to us
Choice. And we knew
Justice destroyed
There is hardly avoiding.

In those days, when a message about the heroic death under Ulus-Kertniks of the Pskov Division was opened throughout Russia, terribly was terribly watching.

... There are no summer in spring - that's the sisters at the funeral, which could not find living daisies to finally please the brother with their favorite flowers.

"It happened, there was a rustle of the field of field and carries home, rejoicing like a small," they remembered. - Everything, our race broke out, cut down to the root. There was one son, and it was not ...

Roots

Sasha not only the surname is unusual. Interesting and unusual history of his family, his relatives. Slavic blood was mixed with Mother Ukrainics and relatives along the Father's line, which were Germans.

In the Melitopol district of the Zaporizhia region in Ukraine, his ancestors lived. Praded fought B. Civil, the awards were, owned by a diploma, worked in the village council. When the Great Patriotic was killed, went to the front. Returned without a leg.

Etc ababushka, Tatiana Gerasimovna, worked in the collective farm. In the forty-first, cattle hijacked in the Caucasus, already under the Turkish border. When through the Dnieper passed through the bridge, they were bombed in such a way that miraculously remained alive.

Grandma Sasha Maria Alexandrovna was born from their love. Translated from the ancient Greek Alexander - strong, courageous. And this is not empty comparison quite deservedly applies to the great-grandfather, and to the father, and to the grandchild. Grandfather Vasily, father of Sasha Mother, also fought in the Great Patriotic, but died very early. Anna was only two years old, and the father does not remember at all.

But grandma lived for a long time. She, too, worked all his life on Earth in the collective farm, was not afraid of hard work on the farm. And also loved flowers. In the house, thanks to her, there were always many of them: ficuses, roses, geranium filled out window sills and loose corners. This passion for colors was somehow passed and the grandson. How much does Anna Vasilyevna remember - everyone wore wildflowers to her with oakhaps.

Mum

And even at least one time, when only live: the children grew up (the last daughter Masha ends with school), but nurse grandchildren, but there is no joy from Anna Vasilyevna, who buried the only son.

She gave birth to eight children: four daughters and as many sons. Boys, here Gorushko, died in infancy. Sasha, the only surviving among them was always on a special account. And now, when it is no longer there, she tirelessly cottones, looking for information about him, collects everything that can only be saved.

He studied well at school, dreamed of learned to an accountant, but all her dreams collapsed overnight when Mamu coughed the cow on the farm, and Anya had to replace his mother. When he worked on the mail, he fell into the hands of the newspaper in which young people called for mastering virgin lands.

In the Kustanai region learned on the tractor driver and continued to work on Earth. With a future husband, Alexander met in the school. He was from the Germans. The ancestors also once lived in Ukraine, but at the very beginning of the war all the Germans were evicted to Kazakhstan. There were almost overnight and those who have already been unbounding, who lived in the Republic of Germans in the Volga region. She was the city of Engels.

Alexander's grandfather, Adolf Gardt, subsequently left for Sasha's aunt, and her grandmother died early, her grave remained in Kazakhstan.

Father was a chauffeur and tractor driver. The fact that the Germans people are working hard and in all love order, it is known to everyone. Sasha was only six months old when the father tragically died - crashed by car. Four years later, Anna Vasilyevna will leave Kazakhstan forever along with children, although the children could take to Germany - to the homeland of the ancestors.

In the village, which is not far from Novozybkov, the house will give a large widow, and it will work on the farm. And everyone will take it with respect for hard work. Slowly established life. Found good manwho was not afraid to take care of children of the migrant. Nikolai Mikhailovich Skovorodko kids loved like relatives. And they attached to him and still call no other than dad. Hammer, nails, hardware - all that was from the father, attracted Sanya.

- It happened, food by bike, and he runs towards. I will put and depart ...

Though this was lucky by Anna Vasilyevna - the children of a loving, reliable father found. When the bitter share fell to bury Sasha, Nikolai Mikhailovich suffered this loss very hard.

School

In the first class, the synecologist of the eight-year-olds that year there were only six Pervachkov: five boys and a girl. Studying was easy. He adored "designers", collecting all sorts of model classes, was fond of burning. I did boats, sending them into swimming. He himself dreamed someday go far, far away. In high school, he was fond of radio engineering. He loved books about paratroopers from the "Combat" series. The tall guy played football, volleyball, basketball.
Like many other guys, collected and recorded in the notebook of the songs of favorite rock bands. It is a pity that I didn't know how to play guitar.

Enrolled in the Novozybkovsky Pedago without much difficulty. But, wandering the year, left. I wanted as soon as possible! Until the term of the army approached, was a volunteer - the leader in the children's camp "Novokemp". Then in the public organization "Radmichi - Chernobyl children." For the remaining two years, mastered the computer, which helped well later at the first pores of the service.

Exact to convoy

The agenda came on May 25. Anna Vasilyevna says that this number has become a memorable and even fatal for their family: Sashina Grandma died on May 25, on the same day, on the same day, a few years later, he would call Gerdta-senior to the army, it would return to the 25th. And after many years Alexander will leave. So that it is never to return to your home on the edge of the village, where the huge apple orchard.

On the eve of the wires suitable for the mother and asks it, is it possible to invite a girl with which is friends.

- Of course, this is your day, son, let your friends come - they all have enough space.

She flew to the bus on which Light had to come, but her ... was not. It came upset, but when I saw that Svetlana came along with his sister on the car, it was left of the desire and a trace. A friend in a year together with his mother will go to Pskov, so that with their own eyes to see the places from where Sanya went to the war.
I did not greet the letters. I was glad that I was in the landing troops, everything was interesting for him. After a month and a half accepted the oath, and then transferred to the village of Clahu, next to Pskov. He served at the headquarters, worked on the computer. On October 20, the last letter came, where the Father on his birthday congratulated his father. I was interested in the health of everyone, wrote that she misses potatoes. He remained only a month before he was sent to the war, but he did not give out his concern.

A year after his death, Mother will send a cassette with records about the celebration of the 60th anniversary of the Red Banner Chernihiv 76th Guards Airborne Division. It was the second August 1999. The pilot Salaga looked at the background of experienced paratroopers.

Here he is, Sasha, in the ranks. But with the checkbox in his hand helps the judge at the contest of tugging the rope. Summer, greens, elegant spectators, music, everything like on the selection - the tall, strong ... No one else, no sleep, does not know that someday the footpaths will be for someone the only joy, happiness. Because they are all alive and Credid.

- Here, so he is Sasha! - Anna Vasilyevna wures the film back and peers into his native face. Considered seconds - and it replaces another frame. Paratroopers show hand-to-hand combat techniques, prepare guns. Smoke curtains flare out, and soldiers are cleverly soluble in gray vest.

N. who did not know then that very soon many would have to actually enter into a deadly battle with a non-intended enemy armed to the teeth. The car at number 21-11, on which Sasha and his friends swatched, is ready for shipment. The last soldier is easily jumping into the body, raise the board, someone waves his hand, as if aparting for all forever - the car started.

- Good luck, health, blue sky, mild landing, officers are another ranks, and soldiers - alive and healthy to return home, - wished the commander directly from the screen.

23 february 2000, already in Chechnya, Pskov paratroopers in their own way, the midst of the Defender of the Fatherland was celebrated in the military - passed the parade on the ground, which they had to be released from bandits. The plot was shown on TV. And then the mother also recognized the Son! Less than a week later Sasha died.

In an unequal battance with the gangsters, which were twenty times more, paratroopers stood to death. The militants tried to persuade them to skip for big money. Useless. When only 26 remained and they were all injured, the enemies went to breakthrough. The commander of the department was killed, and his deputy Efreitor Gerdt, already wounded, accepted command. The cartridges ended, it came to hand-to-hand ... and Kombat Evutyuhin called the artogon on himself. In this Ground Adu, when shells rushed, sequels of the tree branches and stones are automatic queues. The bullet fell Sasha in the chest, and, losing consciousness, he managed to leave a grenade into fallen enemies. Nobudi did everything so that it was impossible to identify the body ...

When the television passed the full information about what happened in the Argun Gorge, Anna Vasilyevna sent a daughter to the post office - send a telegram to Pskov to the commander of the Division. I wanted to know where son alive? And the daughter was told in the mail: "Telegram is no longer needed, you are counter ...".

Ech. oh brought from Rostov Captain Remin and two ordinary paratroopers.

Father Vladimir, abbot of the Miracle Mikhailovsky Cathedral, not only a service for a long time, is present here, every time reminds people that each of those living on earth should feel his debt Christian, obliging dividing the bitterness of loss with neighbor, and together with everyone to store holy memory. And he sounds over the monument to the dead soldier of the word, the meaning of which is not necessary to explain: "There is no more than that love, anyone who puts his soul for his other."

I will give you my heart,

Introduces I'm going near you, son.

I have only memory from you

Yes, your grave is near the three roads ...

The sown star of the hero of Russia presented Anna Vasilyevna Commander of the Airborne Forces General Colonel Georgy Shpak. It was in Bryansk at a meeting with mothers, whose sons were killed in "Small Wars" and in the performance of official duties. General as no other understood Anna Vasilyevna: his son, Lieutenant killed in Chechnya.

In the fall of 2000, a memorial memory board of Alexander Gerdt was opened in a syneankolodetsk school. Future warriors will only grow up, but now adult is experiencing the death of their countryman. "In our room, combat glory there is everything except Sasha himself," the 12-year-old boy wrote in the written.

Margarita Balzaraiten,

Novozybkov.

Granite melted, as a commemorative candle ...

And the pain of loss even time will not heal ...

And the height does not pass the winged infantry.

Farewell, Russia, we are your sixth company!

6th company: Four years old

HOW IT WAS

On February 29, 2000, the fight began with surrounded by gangsters of the 6th company of Pskov paratroopers from the 76th airborne division. After a 19-hour battle, they all died. Nobody came to the rescue to them, except for the platoon of the Lieutenant volunteers of Lieutenant Oleg Viktorovich Ermakov, who, together with the 6th Rota, were divided into their tragic fate. In memory of the Bryansk heroes (in the 6th company, there were five of them, all died and four of them were posthumously awarded the title of Hero of Russia). Among them and our countryman Alexander Gardt.

Bryansk was a guards lieutenant Oleg Ermakov. This he, without waiting for the order he led his platoon to the revenue of the fighters of the 6th company in an unequal battle.

- We are grateful to you, Pskov, for what you did for perpetuating the memory of the fallen, - said Lydia Ermakova, Mother Oleg, is not a secret that the truth about the 6th company was not immediately open, in certain circles there was an explicit interest in To hide the truth, dump the whole guilt on the guys themselves. Only thanks to Pskov journalists, this tragedy became known to all Russia.

Vladimir Vorobyev, the former commander of the 104th Guards Regiment, the father of the hero of Russia Alexei Vorobyeva, who died in the same battle, spoke about what happened four years ago at an altitude of 776. He recovered last hours Son's life and his friends.

- The battle lasted 19 hours. - Of the 90 people died 84. When the federal federal troops were jealous of the surroundings of Basayev's troops and Hattaba with a number of about 3,000 militants, the opponent focused his hand in the area of \u200b\u200bUlus-Kurt. There, the militants restored their strengths for two weeks, replaced the stocks of weapons and food, until they could again take part in the battles. They needed to break through to the Argun Gorge, the only way to which was on the right bank of the Abuzgol River. However, when the advanced troops of the militants tried to break through, they came across the resistance of the 6th company. All the attacks taken against the paratroopers choked, because the company had strengthened at that time on the positions occupied, was well equipped and armed. The paratroopers had only a driver-driver was easily wounded.

Further, according to the Father, the company received an order to enter the height of 776, the possession of which gave significant advantages when adjusting artillery and aviation fire. Mountainera paratroopers began movement towards Ulus Curt. I had to bear not only complete ammunition, but also food supply, tents, furnaces for maintaining heat. Since the young Major, who commanded his mouth, could allow mistakes in performing this difficult operation, command accepted Combat Lieutenant Colonel Mark Evutyukhin.

- On February 28, Aleksey Vorobyeva, Alexey Vorobyeva, forced the River, - Vladimir Nikolaevich continues his story, - explicit signs The presence of the enemy was not found. Rota crawled up the slopes. When the 776th height was busy, the scouts went further and discovered observational posts of the enemy. Sobful to remove them failed, the fight began.

Two groups of 20 people each tried to intercom into ticks, going to the left and right. Then the intelligence officers began to retreat, for all the rules of fighting in the mountainous locality, covering the waste of comrades. They moved to the 776th height, where the forces of the 6th company are located.

From this point on, the attack of militants did not stop. Hattab threw 50 to 40 people every 20 minutes, but he could not break through the defense. The fight was dragged up to three nights. Then the militants on horseback dragged mortars and installed them in the next height. Rota fell under a fierce mortar shelling, and the fighters began to die one after others, drop out of battle because of heavy wounds, because paratroopers did not have time to strengthen the height, make trenches and install secure firepoints. And in the meantime, the militants did not weaken the onslaught, went ahead, not believing with any loss.

Power corridors, corridors for militants.

The first who heard messages on the radio of Mark Evyukhin was Guard Lieutenant Oleg Ermakov. He decided to advance with his platoon to height 776. However, the first attempt came across the resistance of the militants. The platoon retreated without lossless, and took the second attempt again failed. Rasteter 6th company continued to broadcast on how a merciless battle continues. Oleg Ermakov with his platoon again went to a breakthrough.

They remember that the soldiers loved him. The mother of one of the soldiers says that when he came to the part to see the son, Oleg invariably found a good word for her, consoled that her son here is good that he is in its place. "And if the freelancer will happen," Lieutenant added, "I'll close it with my breast." Close them all. " In that battle they were together. One of his subordinates, Alexander Gardt, was a regimental writer, according to officers, possessed an exceptionally beautiful calligraphic handwriting. Alexander literally thus stunned the commander to take him with himself on a dangerous task. So the regimental clerk was the hero of Russia. Posthumously.

But then no one was going to die, on the contrary, the exclusive soldiers of the 6th company were perceived by the Spirit, when the platoon of Oleg Ermakova was made to them after the third attempt. Commanders of the militants, seeing that the Russians do not surrender, went to the last desperate step. For ahead, two nominal battalion of suicide bombs - "Basayev" and "Hattab", elitar, well-trained parts of the troops were put forward. Summerly bomb surrounded the height around the perimeter, and went unrestrained avalanche. Each of them Hattab promised $ 5,000 at the end of the battle.

Meanwhile, the paratroopers shared the last stores with weapons, charged the last cartridges. Combat's reports were followed by one after another: the enemies went out to throw grenades, a single line of fire was broken, the battle in some places turned into a hand-to-hand fight. Oleg Ermakov fulfilled the Mother's promise, closing two soldiers with his body from garnet fragments. Finally, Mark Evuteukhin gave the command to the articulate driver captain Romanov, already mortally wounded, but continued to transfer the coordinates of the goals for regimental artillery, cause fire on himself. He demanded closer to the wall of fire for another fifteen meters. Artillerymen perfectly understood the meaning of this order, but could not help the digestive company.

Such is the history of the battle at the 776th height, probably already known to every Pskovich, but because there is no less tragic. In Bryansk, without holding back tears, this story is again? - Listened to parents, sisters, the widow of the dead paratroopers. They remember everything that happened continued - the dead bodies were minted on stretch marks, who had been crazy by the soldier, who saw the battlefield after the battle, the infinite flow of lies from official sources. The country was not before the war, the country was preparing for the upcoming elections and the holiday of the eighth of March.

And colleagues of the guys from the 6th company in a low voice said, to whom all the time it was necessary for this sacrifice, whether the truth about the tragedy at an altitude of 776 would ever be announced. After all, there were still not refuted rumors about the corridors who were sold to waste Chechens . The opinion of military specialists fits that, according to all the laws of the strategy, such a small division in principle could not be abandoned so far from the main forces, without any cover, under the sight of many more superior enemy forces. Here the considerations of great policies for which there were reports on major victories.

- And until now, we do not know who is to blame for the fact that the fighters of the 6th company, leading an unequal battle, did not take reinforcement on time, "said Tatyana Kitoeeva, Chairman of the Pskov Regional Public Organization of Families in Chechnya" Red Carnations " , Mother fallen in that fight Alexander Kitoeva. "We apply to the presidential administration," she says, "and we answered that it was not closed, and therefore we have hope to learn the whole truth about the cause of the death of our sons.

Mourning in a blue well

In the February battles of 2000 in the Argunsky Gorge of Guard, Efreitor Alexander Gerdta had to take command of the department twice. In the first battle on the night of February 18, the commander of the department wounded. The paratroopers then occupied one of the heights, they came the day before and did not have time to fix it. Alexander was not confused, managed to put his task to each fighter, and, having occupied convenient positions, the department met the bandits by sighting fire. Having lost the murdered and injured several of their militants, the gang in a hurry moved away.

In the second, already deadly, Alexander fight, after the death of the commander, commanded the department again. Having lost one of his field commanders of Idris, the militants for a while in confusion were talked, but then they began to be fiercely attack. They went in full growth, fell under the paul of paratroopers, in some places on the line of defense, there were already hand-to-hand fights, after which, without preparing the cold courage of our warriors, the bandits went away.

Alexander commanded the branch, already being wounded. Shooting from the machine gun, he beat enemies to the last cartridge and, wounded secondary in the chest, already losing consciousness, the last effort was able to quit a grenade in the granitative militants.

Alexander Alexandrovich Gerdt was born on February 11, 1981 in Kazakhstan, in the village of Ordzhonikidze Kustanay region. Why Sasha was born in Kazakhstan, it is not difficult to guess. His dad, Alexander Adolfovich, was from the Volga Germans, expelled in the cold Kazakhstan steppes at one time.

There were five children in the family: four girls and one son, probably the most desirable - Sasha. Father worked as a driver in the autocolonna, Mom, Anna Vasilyevna, was engaged in the economy. The birth of Sasha was, most likely, the last joyful event in the family of Gerdt. In August of the same year, the father dies in a car accident, the mother remains with the children alone. The most senior, Tanechka, was 10 years old, and Sasha was fulfilled only six months.

For the family there were difficult times. Mom got a cleaner to school, burst between children and work. Everyone had to feed, regret, climb, and then run to school wash the floors. Especially much attention was required by a small Sasha, a two-year-old Olya and a three-year-old Galya.

In 1984, Gerdta move to the Bryansk region to the Russian village with beautiful title Blue Well, which will be home to Sasha, Bryanshchina - the edge of the forest, and Sasha grows among amazing world Russian nature, walks with the guys on mushrooms, catches fish. After completing the local school, it comes to study in the Novosybovsky Pedagogical School. A year later, however, leaves to study and in 16 years decides to go to work to help mom and sisters ...

When on television passed brief messages The fact that one of the mouth of the Pskov airborne division leads heavy battles, Anna Vasilyevna did not find a place. I sent a daughter to send a telegram to the mail, and there they answered: "This telegram is no longer needed, for you there is a counter." In the counter telegram there was a message about the death of Sasha Gerdta. Sasha buried in the village of Blue Well. On the day of the funeral over his house hung the fastened flag of the Airborne Forces. These days in Bryansk region were buried by four more warriors, as well as Sasha served in the 76th airborne division and those who died at the last height.

In November, a monument to the hero of Russia Sasha Gerdta was opened.

Today, the name of the hero of Russia is assigned to the school, where he studied, and one of the streets of the village of Blue Well, a memorial plaque was opened in his honor.

The commander of the department was mortally wounded, and Gerdt accepted the command on himself. He managed to put a task to each fighter, identified convenient positions.

Svetlana Tretyakova / According to the press center of the Council of People's Deputies // Novozybkovsky news. - 2011. - August 10. - №32. - C.2.

There lived such a guy ...

On the Alley of Glory in Novosybkov, a bronze bust of the hero of Russia Alexander Gerdta was installed; A nineteen-year-old guy from the village of Blue Well died in the Argun Gorge in Chechnya in 2000. That year he would have turned thirty years old.

- Sasha was going to become a teacher. In 1999 after successful delivery Sessions in the Novosybkovskaya NPOK, he suddenly throws to learn. After several months, the work of his brother was called to the army, "recalls the sister of Alexander Gerdta Galina Vdovichenko. I do not accept Alexander decision to leave my studies, would be alive, because after a year the active combat phase of the second Chechen campaign ended.

Large family Gerdt, in which there were four girls and one boy, came to the blue well from Kazakhstan in 1984. The head of the family, Alexander Adolfovich, was from the Volga Germans, expelled in the Kazakh steppes. Mother, Anna Vasilyevna, Ukrainka, met the future spouse in Kazakhstan, where both received education. Life flowed measuringly, although it was necessary to be easy, the children needed to feed, wear and stretch. They demanded attention and care, although they did not give parents of great unrest. Father in the eighties died in a car accident in the village of Mamai, Mother died two years ago. The Gerdt family remained stepfather and four children who have already grown their children. "I and Tatiana in the boy and the girl, Olga had two boys, Masha had one girl while, but I think she would still catch up," Galina argues.

Polite, friendly and very attentive people, the characteristic that everyone is familiar with someone from Gerdt. About Alexandra say that he was infinitely kind and sociable. "He had a sea of \u200b\u200bfriends, so the loss was acutely felt not only we, but everyone who was familiar with him," recalls Galina Vdovichenko.

Alexander was in the seventh heaven from happiness, which was in service in the landing troops. The letters shared their impressions about the first jumps with parachute and other wisdom of army life in the Pskov division. Letters stopped coming in November 2000. At the request sent by the excited relatives, a message came that everything was in order with Alexander. According to the dry official, the response in the family suggested that Sasha was sent to Chechnya. Later it became known that in the hot spot Alexander he was from December, and the battle in the Argun Gorge was far from first.

The book "Step to Immortality" was written about the feat of the Pskov paratroopers, which was published in 2001. The editorial board on the first page of the publication appeals to readers with the words: "Before you a book, the pages of which are written in blood. It is dedicated to the heroes-paratroopers of the 6th company of the 104th parachute shelf of the 76th Guards Airborne Chernihiv Red Banner Division. The fighters stood on the way almost 30 times the superior gang of terrorists who broke through the environment in the Argun Gorge in the North Caucasus. Paratroopers beat to death. At the critical moment, their commander Guard Colonel Mark Evyukhin caused fire on himself. The breakthrough failed. But the landing company almost died. From 90 people alive only six. "

It is known that the initiator of a breakthrough through the Argun Gorge was Hattab. According to the data that outlined in the book "Step to Immortality" by the hero of Russia, Guard Colonel Gevorkyan Isakhanyan, from December 25 to 27, 1999, the paratrooper warriors made a bold and decisive 350-kilometer march on the route Shali - Gudermes - Khasavyurt - Buinaksk - Botlich - Andei - Hairov Pass and blocked from three sides. Enemy even ne it assumed that paratroopers can pass mountain passes at an altitude of 2400 meters in difficult weather conditions. They walked with appliances and artillery. This campaign was akin to the transition of Suvorov through the Alps, in February, the operation in Chechnya entered the mountain phase. The troops entered the Vedeno Gorge, blocked the Serge-Yurt, and the paratrooper warriors began to occupy the dominant heights at the probable outputs from the mountains of trafficking militants who had nothing to lose. In the Argunsky glow gorge there were enough death agony.

The relatives and colleagues more than once were asked about why the guys from the 6th company of the 104th parachute regiment were supported. According to some data, weather conditions were the main interference for the departure of helicopters. A strong fog and poor visibility requested 84 fighters of the winged infantry on death.

In March 2000, having learned from the media about heavy battles in the Argun Gorge, the relatives went to the rural postal department of the village of Blue Well in order to send another request about Alexander. In response, they reported that there is already a notice of the death of Alexander Gerdt and it is simply not we managed to deliver to relatives. What happened later in the Gerdt family is difficult to describe a stranger, and it is more difficult to talk about it with close people.

Soon 11 years old, as Alexander Gardt died. Currently, the Investigation Committee of the city of Grozny has completed the investigation of the criminal case against three people who are members of the bandforms that participated in the battle in the Argun Gorge. The commission of the production of individual investigative actions was also received to the Novosybkovsky Interdistrict Investigation Department of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation. It took the collection of facts and evidence for 20 months, on December 6, the criminal case was aimed at consideration of the court, which the other day relatives were reported.

For us, his sisters and brothers, he is just a boys who was meant such short life. He will forever remain for us a blond kid with blue eyes and a sincere smile. "

Two hearts beat like one

"Oh, my son, what other people's degree will be the heart of your heart on the snow? I will help you with prayer "

"Mommy, Mom," she hears her son's son. He again, as before, calling her and smiles. There he is so close. But together with the dawn, these rare moments of happiness are crumbling with pinking dusting and the feeling of pain will be back. - These nine grams of steel pain, which, overcoming the Caucasian ridges and stitched the body of the hero, forever joined her heart, the heart of the mother, who, despite all the deaths, it is waiting for his son, despite the fact that it will never be afraid of his home.

Her boy, her only son went into the blue blue of ash clouds, leaving mom hundreds of happy moments, which she will scroll into memory and keep deep in the shower until the last second on Earth.

Anna Gardt - Mom Hero of Russia Alexander Gerdt.

It will be later, and then, in the distant 80s, Anna Vasilyevna - Mama-heroine. Family Large: Tanya's daughters, Galya, Olya, Masha and the only son of Sasha, blonde, blue-eyed boy. Sasha, Sasha ... Mine Joy, Mine Hope! Here he is first smiling, makes the first inept chamber! Here goes to the first class and hurry home with the first good marks! But the girls are working together on the utility site - you need to help your mother, and Sasha has their boyish duties - to avoid water, because he should be a strong, real assistant! He was so - light, kind, responsive! Since childhood, brought up in the women's team - Mom, grandmother, sisters - he was independent and very affectionate. He loved to mess with the kids, and they answered him mutual attachment. By March 8, I have tried to surprise - I prepared postcards, a special one - my mother! He loved to cook, easily peck pies. It's from his mother! And which of it turned out to be a wonderful Santa Claus on a children's matinee! His mother brought him up! So he lived - opened towards life, as if all was in a hurry, do not miss any precious minute from released.

But Anna Vasilyevna herself, tired after work, but happy surrounded by his children, with a constant radiant smile! I need to talk to each, advise everyone to listen and understand. But only so, only with good! As always in the house there are many kids, neighbors - a hospitable house is open to everyone! Here the family gathered for festive table - New Year, Easter - all holidays together!

Together with her mother in May, the girls accompanied his brother Sasha in the army. Now photos from the family archive are silent witnesses of mother's happiness! Sasha always wanted to serve. Considered by books about the retired paratrooper.

And when the boy's dream came true and he put on the cherished blue beret, immediately sent a letter to his mother. And Anna Vasilyevna was happy for his son and waited for their native envelopes in which her son told about the army weekdays. He wrote, he often. And suddenly the silence came in December - there were no such long-awaited letters. And from the TV screen, the frightening Nabat sounded from a distant Chechnya, where hundreds of yesterday's boys performed their military duty, swallowing mountain dust and closing those who are destined to replace them left in the mountains of the Caucasus forever.

Why is he silent? Mom wrote anxious letters into a part, hoping to learn about the fate of the Son, and then I looked through the website of the Ministry of Defense for a long time, on which the names of the wounded and killed soldiers were published. And every time internally prayed: "just not to find." And he wrote, I was looking for and waited.

Spring, and Westa was not all. That March night was especially disturbing, in the dream Anna Vasilyevna saw Gypsy - an unkind sign. Somewhere in the depths of the soul. On the Family Council it was solved - give a telegram into part. Sister who came to the mail, the postman said: "For You have a counter telegram. " Anna Vasilyevna chalked heavy premonitions from himself, and the maternal heart was already rushing where the worship of the light in blue eyes Her son. The pain not called knocked in a happy home - the funeral came. Her son, her kid, her Sasha died. Well, how so - after all, he did not live at all, dreamed of a family, about children ...

Mom was awarded a posthumous reward of the Son - the star of the hero of Russia! But the mother's heart refused to understand that the Son turned into the same star, but there, on the distant and such inaccessible sky. Every year, Anna Vasilyevna on the death of his son went to Pskov, to meet with the mothers of the same boys who breathed with her son with one air at that height in the Argunsky gorge and which also mourn their mother. There they shared this endless misfortune at all, and then they returned home again and continued to wait for their boys. Wait and pray for them! Wait for your eternal soldiers, overcoming the unbearable non-chosen pain, expect no matter what, until the very last minute!

Anna Vasilyevna did not become in December 2009. She is buried next to Sasha.

But mom did not leave, she remained a part in each of his girls, in the younger grandchildren, in future great-grandchildren - now they are her continuation!

In the heart forever

In the first battle on the night of February 18, the commander of the department wounded. The paratroopers then occupied one of the heights, they came on the eve and did not have time to fix it. Alexander was not confused, managed to put his task to each fighter, and, having occupied convenient positions, the department met the gangsters by sighting flames. Having lost the murdered and injured several of their militants, the gang in a hurry moved away.

In the second, already fatal battle Alexander, after the death of the commander, commanded the department again.

There were five children in the family: four girls and one son, probably the most desirable - Sasha. Father worked as a driver in the autocolonna, Mom, Anna Vasilyevna, was engaged in the economy. The birth of Sasha was, most likely, the last joyful event in the family of Gerdt. In August of the same year, the father dies in a car accident, the mother remains with the children alone. The most senior, Tanechka, was 10 years old, and Sasha was fulfilled only six months.

For the family there were difficult times. Mom got a cleaner to school, burst between children and work. We had to feed everyone, regret, climb, and then to flee floors to school. Especially much attention was required by a small Sasha, a two-year-old Olya and a three-year-old Galya.

In 1984, Gerdta move to the Bryansk region to the Russian village with a beautiful title Blue Well, which will become home to Sasha. Bryansk - the edge of the forest, and Sasha grows among the amazing world of Russian nature, walks with the guys on the mushrooms, catches fish. After completing the local school, it comes to study in the Novosybkovsky Pedagogical School. A year later, the truth, leaves the student IV 16 years decides to go to work to help mom and sisters ...

When there were brief reports on television that one of the mouth of the Pskov Airborne Division leads heavy battles, Anna Vasilyevna did not find a place. I sent a daughter to send to the mail to the telegram, and there they answered: "This telegram is no longer needed, for you a counter". In the counter telegram there was a message about the death of Sash

Sasha buried in the village of Blue Well. On the day of the funeral over his house hung the fastened flag of the Airborne Forces. These days on Bryansk region were buried by four more warriors, as well as Sasha served in the 76th airborne division and those who died at the last height.

In November, a monument to the hero of Russia Sasha Gerdta was opened.

Today, the name of the hero of Russia is assigned to the school, where he studied, and one of the streets of the Blue Well. In his honor, memorial boards at school and the house where Sasha lived.
