And the cars will go, and the infantry will go,

And dashing carts rush

Many women, having small children in their arms to take care of, worked in factories and factories. Children and old people, standing at the machines for days and nights, made weapons for the soldiers, constantly malnourished, in the cold and overcoming the most difficult conditions. They did everything in their power to help survive the war and defeat the invaders. Many soldiers and officers were awarded orders and medals, many received the title of Hero of the Soviet Union. We must remember the names of the heroes who gave their lives in the struggle for liberation: Alexander Matrosov, Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya, Nikolai Gastello and many others.


Already in the first days of the war, a pupil of the musical platoon, 14-year-old Petya Klypa, distinguished himself in the defense of the Brest Fortress. Many pioneers participated in partisan detachments, where they were often used as scouts and saboteurs, as well as during underground activities; of the young partisans, Marat Kazei, Volodya Dubinin, Lenya Golikov and Valya Kotik are especially famous (all of them died in battle, except for Volodya Dubinin, who was blown up by a mine; and all of them, except for the older Lenya Golikov, were 13-14 years old at the time of death) .

For military merits, tens of thousands of children and pioneers were awarded orders and medals.


Leni Golikova

In the Pskov region, in the village of Lukino, there lived a boy, Lenya Golikov. He studied at school, helped his parents with the housework, was friends with the guys. But the Great Patriotic War suddenly began, and everything that he so dreamed of in civilian life suddenly broke off. When the war began, he was only 15 years old.

After the Nazis captured his village, Leni had a lot of military affairs, the young partisan Leni Golikov had. But one thing was special.

In August 1942, Lenya was in ambush near the road. Suddenly he saw that a luxurious German car was driving along the road. He knew that very important fascists were transported on such cars, and decided to stop this car at all costs. First, he looked to see if there were guards, let the car come closer, and then threw a grenade at it. A grenade exploded next to the car, and immediately two hefty Fritz jumped out of it and ran to Lena. But he was not afraid and began to shoot at them with a machine gun. He immediately laid down one, and the second began to run away into the forest, but Lenin's bullet caught up with him as well. One of the Nazis turned out to be General Richard Witz. They found important documents with him and immediately sent them to Moscow. Soon from the General Staff partisan movement an order was received to present all participants in the daring operation to the title of Hero of the Soviet Union. And there was only one participant... Young Lenya Golikov! It turns out that Lenya obtained valuable information - drawings and descriptions of new samples of German mines, inspection reports to higher command, minefield maps and other important military papers. He was awarded a medal, but did not have time to receive it, because a traitor appeared in his village, who told the Nazis that everyone fell asleep and the Nazis shot everyone, including Lenya!
