Mikheev Anatoly Nikolaevich - life, like a moment!

6
Time does not turn back. However, who can say what would have happened if the trouble had happened again, and the enemy had invaded the territory of our state? Can we hope for similar behavior of compatriots? Most likely, yes. Men and women from cities and villages of an immense but united country would again go to the front. They would not go for honors and awards, and not in anticipation of lifetime glory, such behavior is typical of the Russian people. Our souls belong to Russia forever and, no matter how indignant we are about the internal problems and the device, they are always ready to stand up for the defense of freedom and independence. The heroes of the Great Patriotic War died for their homeland and did not think about orders, but when they returned with victory, they gained something more valuable - people's love and gratitude.

Mikheev Anatoly Nikolaevich - life, like a moment!


The more time goes from that terrible time, the more difficult it is to imagine what the victory cost. Even more difficult to properly assess the greatness of the people's feat. But to perpetuate the names of those who fell on the battlefield in our power.

In the first days of the war, our army was weaker than the armed forces of the enemy and retreated, leading heavy defensive battles. The enemy found the armed forces of the USSR in the process of transformation and rearmament. The training of new officers was not completed, intelligence was also rebuilt and could not give accurate information about the plans of the enemy. Events developed rapidly, the enemy occupied one territory after another, parts of the Red Army retreated, losing people and equipment.

June 27 issued a directive on the creation of barrier units, whose task was:
• detain all suspicious people caught on the front line;
• prevent retreats and arrest all retreats, as well as demoralizing personnel;
• conduct in-house investigations and transfer detainees to court.

Despite the measures taken, the front in the Veliko-Luki direction was broken through by German troops, accompanied by military aviation. The soldiers of the Red Army retreated in panic, one at a time or in separate groups. By the forces of the rifle companies of the barrage detachments, more than 6000 people were returned to their positions. The retreat of the 22nd army was regarded by the command as cowardice. On July 17, the USSR State Defense Committee adopted a decree on measures to influence the special departments of the NKVD in the fight against running soldiers, spies and saboteurs.

Special operational units were created from the best personnel of the command and commanding personnel of the border troops. All special divisions of connections. The highest authority was granted the right to traitors and deserters to be shot without trial. On each of the fronts, special departments were formed from proven personnel of the NKVD. Responsible for the South-Western Front were Colonel Rogatin, Chief of Security of the Front Front, and Commissar G / B 3, rank A. Mikheev, Head of the Public Organization Front

Mikheev's request to send him to the front in the first days of the war was satisfied by Stalin. However, having arrived at the front line, the commissioner did not remain at headquarters, but went to the front line and took part in hostilities, where the qualities of not only the commander and counterintelligence officer, but also as a simple person capable of self-sacrifice, were fully revealed.

Anatoly Nikolaevich Mikheev was born in 1911 year in the Arkhangelsk region in the small city of Kem. His father worked as a guard in the repair team on the railway. Already in the 16 years, Anatoly received a Komsomol ticket, and in 21 he joined the Communists. After graduating from school 2 degree in 1927 g, he went to work at a sawmill as a laborer. For three years he studied at the Military Engineering School of the Leningrad Military District, after which in 1931. already commanded a platoon of 30 people.

Career young military developed rapidly, thanks to valuable personal qualities. Mikheev had a strong character, firmness in convictions, outstanding leadership qualities, as well as amazing courage and honesty. In 1932 Anatoly Nikolayevich was appointed the company commander of a separate demining battalion of the 7 rifle corps. A year later he received an appointment as a course commander of the sapper division. In 1935 became the commander of the buildings for the defense of the 4 border school of the OGPU-NKVD in Saratov.

At the end of 1935, Mikheev entered the Kuybyshev Military Academy, and already in his fourth year with the rank of captain of the GB, he was appointed head of the Special Department of the State Department of the State Security of the NKVD in the Oryol district. Six months later, Anatoly Nikolayevich with the rank of Major GB was transferred to the Kievsky district, where he fights with the Ukrainian nationalists. For special success in this area 26 April young commander was awarded the Order of the Red Star.

The post of head of the 4 department of the NKVD Mikheev received 1940 in August, and in February 1941. he was promoted to divisional commissioner and appointed head of the NNO’s 3 department. During the war, his career continued to develop and 19 July Mikheev received a new title of commissar of the GB 3 rank and head of the special department of the NKVD on the South-Western Front.

At night on September 19th, German Tanks and the infantry took the headquarters of the front of the South-West Army, some units and the headquarters of the 5th Army in tight encirclement. For almost a day, the enemy conducted fierce shelling of our positions from mortars. Eight hundred Soviet soldiers were in a tight ring under the command of Colonel General MP Kirponos, the situation seemed hopeless. However, Commissioner Mikheev was able to entrust people from the environment. The soldiers were divided into several separate groups to try to break out of the enemy line. At this moment, a mine explosion killed the front commander, Kirponos M.P., in addition, the divisional commissar E.P. Rykov also died under heavy fire. In this situation, the command took over, wounded in the leg, A. Mikheev

Anatoly Nikolaevich decided to break through from the ring of the enemy in two directions at once. One group was brought to the north by the Chief of Staff, Major-General V.I. Tupikov, another was led by A.N. Mikheyev himself. The second detachment of soldiers was heading for the village of Zhdana. In the group Mikheev A.N. was a staff column: senior major GB Yakunchikov, divisional commissar Nikishev, major GB Belotserkovsky, senior lieutenant GB Storozhenko A.A. and three fighters. Only in the morning of September 23 by incredible efforts, the troops were able to get out of the encirclement and to meet each other a few kilometers from the village. After joint condemnation, Mikheev decided to wait out the daylight in haystacks with fresh hay, located in an open area, and only by evening move further.

However, German tanks overtook the Zhdans of exhausted and bleeding soldiers. Mikheev was twice wounded, but continued to shoot back to the last bullet. After killing the German invaders in this terrible 8 battle, he was literally torn to pieces with the surviving fighters. To save the life of the unfortunate did not have enough strength to reach the nearest ravine. Senior Major Yakunchikov and Commissioner Nikishev died heroically in this battle.

A memorial complex was erected at the site of the death of soldiers in the Shumeykovo Tract, but there is no memorial plaque with the name of Mikheyev, because all the insignia and military awards were removed from the murdered commissioner for transfer to the authorities. This was done so that the fascists could not recognize the commander. After the bloody battle, the inhabitants of the nearby neighborhoods conducted a mass burial of all those who died in a mass grave.

Anatoly Nikolaevich's life was short, clean and without any stains in his biography, he died in 30 years, leaving a bright memory of himself. Only four letters from the front were received by Alexander’s spouse, who remained with her son Edward in Sverdlovsk. In 2011, a documentary entitled “I Will Return After Victory” was released, telling about this strong man and his fate. However, even in the film, very little has been said about him, since, until now, Mikheev's personal file is in the archives of the FSB of Russia under the “secret” stamp. Photos of this person, fortunately, are well preserved. Thanks to them, we can see this beautiful and young man who gave his life for the salvation of the Motherland. In Arkhangelsk, at the end of 2000, a memorial plaque to Anatoly Mikheyev was installed on the building of the FSB department in the Arkhangelsk region.

The feat of soldiers is immortal, and our duty to keep it in our memory forever.
I'll be back after the victory! Feat Anatoly Mikheev

Starting the preparation of the next blitzkrieg, the German special services sought to find out everything about the future theater of military operations and its main opponent - the Red Army. Protect her secrets was to military counterintelligence. The fight with the Abwehr, they began long before the war. At this difficult moment, the head of the army Chekists was a man whose name even today is familiar to a very narrow circle of people. He could not survive the first year of the war and became one of the three Commissars of State Security of the 3 rank who died in the Great Patriotic War. Anatoly Nikolaevich Mikheev. About his death is known as little as about the entire rich, but short life. He was only 30 years old.

    The trouble at the headquarters of the SWF in the initial period of the Second World War is obvious. The Kiev district became the SW front on June 19, but mob events were generally sabotaged, like Pavlov’s. They speak of the directives NO and General Staff No. 1,2,3 as unresponsive. But they forget that the operators of the General Staff, who developed them, 1,5 months were in a barracks position. Their essence is to be ready for an attack, repel an attack, having received evidence of great aggression, and not provocation. And only after that put a powerful counterattack. What forces and where? - 26 A, etc. fl. 6 A - the first echelon; 8 and 4 MK - a mobile front group, 15 MK to the right of the ud group can contribute to it, and work directly according to Kleist. All buildings are almost fully equipped, in one transition from the state. boundaries. The second echelon - 12 A and 16 A. M. Lukin advancing. The main warehouses of the South-Western Fleet of the city of Sknilov, Lviv Region.Start from the Lviv ledge to the 17 A Shtyulpnagel infantry divisions extended in line (0 tanks) in the direction of Lublin. That is, into a space that has already been cleared of troops, but filled with airfields, warehouses, gas storages, workshops .. Success - start a war with fuel trucks and bury 1 Kleist TG, failure - force Kleist to withdraw AP from the battle in parts and transfer them to a new direction in 300 km., Win 3-4 weeks of diamond summer time. What was in reality: Phantom appearance of 2 tanks on the Kovel direction in pieces documents. SWF (not explained by historians). Order 1 artillery brigade PTO (370 trunks, K.S.enko) to leave subordination 5 A (M. Potapov) from the direction of the main strike of the enemy into the void. Potapov and Enko did not comply with the order; they did not bear responsibility. How the 4th artillery brigade of the VET fought is not clear. 15 MK are extended in a line of 60 km. 8 MK Ryabysheva made 500 km of march in different directions. 4 MK A.A. Vlasova backed away avoiding the fight. The letter of the artillery lieutenant Inozemtsev, who entered the first battle only on July 7, is known. 12 And she entered into serious battles at the same time near Vinnitsa. Sknilov warehouses were abandoned. I advise those who are interested to read the June pages of Baghramyan's memoirs "This is how the war began", Popel "In a difficult time", D. Ryabyshev, add them. We are talking about the fate of the FWM SWZF N.N. Vashugin. He had a keen conversation with the command of 8 MK Ryabyshev and Popel. In the presence of the front prosecutor, the tribunal and the firing squad, Vashugin accused them of treason and received in response that treason should be sought in the orders of the headquarters of the SWF. It all ended strangely. Popel with the advance detachment 8 MK went into the environment near Dubno, for some reason the corps did not come there. N, N. Vashugin returned to headquarters, didn’t (and is obliged to) write about the interesting conversations about treason about the treason against the Red Army of the Red Army, he didn’t start the audit, he was quietly worried about the fate of the advance detachment and was SHOT. As Baghramyan writes from an excess of feelings. The SWF was unlucky, local successes did not turn into general success. Uman's entourage, generals Ponedelin and Kirillov surrender to the Germans, sentenced to death in absentia. Gene. A.A. Vlasov, commander of 4 MK, teams. 37 A, surrenders at 42. kamand. ROA. There were complaints against Purkayev (and in Berlin. and by war). Stalin suspected Baghramyan for a long time, Tymoshenko vouched for him.

    But Kiev catastrophe happened

    Well, yes, and specifically Mikheev was to blame for it.
    In general, read less Mukhin at night, more will be of benefit

      Is Anatoly Nikolaevich Mikheev guilty? The head of counterintelligence of the largest strategic association, more than 700 soldiers, who lost 000 guns and mortars in the Kiev operation, perishes in a ravine, firing from personal weapons. So, should I ask this question? The documentary video clearly states that the Germans hunted for the headquarters of the SWF, having complete information about it. All clear.
