Who killed the legendary Chapai?

81
Vasily Ivanovich Chapaev is one of the most tragic and mysterious figures of the Civil War in Russia. This is due to the mysterious death of the famous red commander. So far, the discussion about the circumstances of the murder of the legendary starter does not abate. The official Soviet version of Vasily Chapayev’s death states that the division commander, who, by the way, was only 32, was killed in the Urals by white Cossacks from the consolidated unit of 2 division of Colonel Sladkov and 6 of colonel Borodin. The famous Soviet writer Dmitry Furmanov, who once served as political commissar of the “Chapayev” 25 Infantry Division, in his most famous book “Chapayev” told that the divisional division died allegedly in the waves of the Urals.





First, about the official version of the death of Chapaev. He died 5 September 1919 of the year on the Ural front. Shortly before Chapayev’s death, the 25 Infantry Division, under his command, received an order from the commander of the Turkestan Front, Mikhail Frunze, about active actions on the left bank of the Urals in order to prevent active interaction between the Ural Cossacks and the armed formations of the Kazakh Alash Orda. The headquarters of the Chapayev division was at that time in the county town of Lbishchensk. There were also controls, including the Tribunal and the Revolutionary Committee. The city was protected by 600 people from the division school, and unarmed and untrained mobilized peasants were in the city. Under these conditions, the Ural Cossacks decided to abandon a frontal attack on the positions of the Reds and make a raid on Lbishchensk instead, in order to immediately defeat the division headquarters. The combined group of the Ural Cossacks, aimed at defeating the Chapayev headquarters and destroying Vasily Chapaev personally, was led by Colonel Nikolai Nikolayevich Borodin, commander of the 6 Division of the Ural Separate Army.

The Cossacks of Borodino were able to approach Lbishchensk, remaining unnoticed by the red. They succeeded due to timely shelter in the reeds in the natural boundary Kuzda-Gora. At 3 in the morning of September 5, the division launched an offensive against Lbishchensk from the west and north. The 2 Division of Colonel Timofey Ippolitovich Sladkov moved from the south to Lbishchensk. For the Reds, the situation was complicated by the fact that both divisions of the Ural Army were manned in the bulk by the Cossacks - Lbishchensk natives, who were well oriented on the terrain and could successfully operate in the vicinity of the town. The surprise attack also played into the hands of the Ural Cossacks. The Red Army soldiers immediately began to surrender, only some units tried to resist, but without success.



Local residents - the Ural Cossacks and Cossacks - also actively helped their fellow countrymen from the “Borodino” division. For example, the Cossacks were given a commissioner of the 25 Division, Baturin, who was trying to hide in a furnace. About where he climbed, said the hostess, where he lodged. Cossacks from the division of Borodin staged a massacre of prisoners of the Red Army. At least 1500 Red Army men were killed, 800 Red Army men remained in captivity. To capture the commander of the 25 division of Vasily Chapaev, Colonel Borodin formed a special platoon of the best-trained Cossacks, who were commanded by a subordinate Belonozhkin. The people of Belonozhkin calculated the house where Chapaev lodged and attacked him. However, the chief managed to jump out the window and run to the river. Along the way, he collected the remnants of the Red Army - about a hundred people. The squad had a machine gun and Chapaev organized the defense.

The official version states that it was during this retreat that Chapaev died. None of the Cossacks, however, could find his body, despite the reward promised for “Chapai’s head”. What happened to the beginning? According to one version, he drowned in the Ural River. According to another - the wounded Chapaev was placed by two Hungarians - Red Army men on a raft and transported across the river. However, during the crossing, Chapaev died from blood loss. Hungarian Red Army men buried him in the sand and showered the grave with reeds.

By the way, Colonel Nikolai Borodin himself also died in Lbishchensk, and on that very day, as Vasily Chapaev. When the colonel was driving down the street in a car, Red Army soldier Volkov, who was hiding in a haystack, served in the protection of the 30 squadron, killed a commander of the 6 division in the back. The body of the colonel was taken to the village of Kalyany of the Ural region, where he was buried with military honors. Posthumously, Nikolai Borodin was given the rank of Major General, therefore in many publications he passes as “General Borodin”, although during the assault Lbishchensk was still a colonel.

In fact, the death of a military commander during the Civil War was not something extraordinary. However, in Soviet times, a kind of cult of Vasily Chapaev was created, which was recalled and revered much more than many other prominent red commanders. Who, for example, besides professional historians stories The civil war today says something about the name of Vladimir Azin - the commander of the 28 Infantry Division, who was captured by white and brutally murdered (according to some sources, even torn alive, being tied to two trees or, according to another version, to two horses)? But during the years of the Civil War, Vladimir Azin was no less famous and successful commander than Chapaev.

First of all, we recall that during the Civil War or immediately after it ended, a whole series of red commanders died, and the most charismatic and talented, who enjoyed great popularity "among the people", but were very skeptical of the party leadership. Not only Chapaev, but also Vasily Kikvidze, Nikolay Shchors, Nestor Kalandarishvili and some other red warlords died under very strange circumstances. This gave rise to a fairly widespread version that the Bolsheviks themselves were behind their deaths, who were dissatisfied with the “departure from the party line” of the listed commanders. Both Chapaev, Kikvidze, Kalandarishvili, Shchors, and Kotovsky were from the Social Revolutionary and anarchist circles, which the Bolsheviks then perceived as dangerous rivals in the struggle to lead the revolution. The Bolshevik leadership did not trust such popular commanders with a “wrong” past. They were associated by party leaders with “partisan” and “anarchy”, were perceived as people who were unable to obey and very dangerous. For example, Nestor Makhno also once was a red commander, but then again spoke out against the Bolsheviks and turned into one of the most dangerous opponents of the Reds in New Russia and Little Russia.

Who killed the legendary Chapai? It is known that Chapaev had repeated conflicts with the commissioners. Actually, due to the conflicts, Dmitry Furmanov and 25 left the division, by the way, he is a former anarchist. The reasons for the conflict between the commander and the commissioner lay not only in the “managerial” plane, but also in the sphere of intimate relations. Chapaev began to show too persistent signs of attention to Anna Furmanov’s wife, who complained to her husband, who openly expressed his dissatisfaction with Chapaev and quarreled with the commander. An open conflict began, which led to Furmanov leaving the post of division commissar. In that situation, the command decided that Chapaev — a more valuable cadre as division commander than Furmanov — as commissar.

Interestingly, after the death of Chapaev, it was Furmanov who wrote a book about the beginning of the book, in many ways laying the foundation for the subsequent popularization of Chapaev as a hero of the Civil War. Quarrels with the chief did not prevent his former commissioner from maintaining respect for the figure of his commander. The book "Chapaev" was really successful work of Furmanov as a writer. She drew the attention of the entire young Soviet Union to the figure of the red commander, especially since in 1923, the memories of the Civil War were very fresh. It is possible that if it were not for the work of Furmanov, then Chapaev’s name would have suffered the fate of the names of other famous red commanders of the Civil War - only professional historians and residents of their native places would have remembered him.

Chapaev has three children left - daughter Claudius (1912-1999), sons Arkady (1914-1939) and Alexander (1910-1985). After the death of his father, they remained with his grandfather, Vasily Ivanovich's father, but he soon died. The children came to shelters. They were remembered only after the book by Dmitry Furmanov was published in 1923. After this event, the former commander of the Turkestan Front, Mikhail Frunze, became interested in Chapaev’s children. Alexander Vasilievich Chapaev graduated from a technical school and worked as an agronomist in the Orenburg region, but after military service he entered a military school. By the beginning of the Second World War, he served as a captain in the Podolsk Artillery School, went to the front, after the war, served in artillery in command positions and rose to the rank of major general, deputy artillery commander of the Moscow Military District. Arkady Chapaev became a military pilot, commanded the aviazven, but died in 1939 year as a result of a plane crash. Klavdiya Vasilyevna graduated from the Moscow Food Institute, then worked on party work.

Meanwhile, there appeared another version that contradicted the official one, about the circumstances of Vasily Chapayev’s death, more precisely, about the motives for issuing the location of the red commander. She was sounded in 1999 by the correspondent of “Arguments and Facts” daughter of Vasily Ivanovich - 87-year-old Klavdia Vasilyevna still alive at that time. She believed that the stepmother of the second wife of Vasily Ivanovich Pelageya Kameshkertsev was the culprit of the death of her father, the famous superintendent. Allegedly, she betrayed Vasily Ivanovich with the artillery warehouse chief Georgy Zhivolozhinov, but was exposed by Chapaev. The commanders arranged a tough showdown for his wife, and Pelagia, in retaliation, brought the whites into the house, where the red commander was hiding. At the same time she acted from the momentary emotions, not counting the consequences of her act and even, most likely, simply without thinking with her head.

Of course, such a version during the Soviet era could not be announced. After all, she would question the image of the hero created, showing that in his family not alien to "mere mortals" passions like adultery and subsequent female revenge took place. At the same time, Klavdiya Vasilievna did not question the version that Chapaev had been transported through the Urals by the Red Army men who had buried his body in the sand. This version, by the way, in no way contradicts the fact that Pelageya could get out of Chapaev’s house and “surrender” his whereabouts to white. By the way, Pelagia Kameshkertseva herself was already placed in a psychiatric hospital in Soviet times, and therefore even if her fault in Chapaev’s death was found out, they wouldn’t bring her to justice. The fate of George Zhivolozhinova also developed tragically - he was placed in the camp for agitating the kulaks against the Soviet power.

Meanwhile, the version of his wife - a traitor to many seems unlikely. First of all, it is unlikely that whites would begin to talk to the wife of the red nazdiva, and the more they would believe her. Secondly, Pelageya herself would hardly have ventured to go to the whites, since she could fear reprisals. It is another matter if it was a “link” in the chain of treachery of the chief, which could be organized by its haters from the party apparatus. At that time, there was a rather tough confrontation between the “commissar” part of the Red Army, focused on Lev Trotsky, and the “commander” part, to which the whole glorious pleiad of red commanders who had emerged from the people belonged. And it was precisely the supporters of Trotsky who could, if not directly kill Chapaev with a shot in the back during a crossing over the Urals, so “substitute” him for the Cossacks' bullets.

The saddest thing is that Vasily Ivanovich Chapaev, really a combat and honored commander, no matter how you feel about him, in the late Soviet and post-Soviet times completely undeservedly became a character in completely stupid jokes, humorous stories and even TV shows. Their authors mocked the tragic death of this man, the circumstances of his life. Chapaev was portrayed as a narrow-minded man, although it was unlikely that such a character as the hero of anecdotes could not only lead the division of the Red Army, but even in tsarist times to advance to Feldwebel title. Although the sergeant-major was not an officer, only the best of the soldiers who could command were the most intelligent, and the bravest in wartime. By the way, Vasily Chapaev received the title of junior non-commissioned officer, and senior non-commissioned officer, and sergeant major in the First World War. In addition, he was wounded more than once - under Tsumany his arm tendon was smashed, then, returning to the ranks, he was wounded again - with shrapnel in his left leg.

The nobility of Chapaev as a person is fully demonstrated by the story of his life with Pelageya Kameshkertseva. When during the First World War, Chapaev’s friend Peter Kameshkertsev was killed in battle, Chapaev gave the word to take care of his children. He came to the widow of Peter Pelagia and informed her that she alone would not be able to take care of Peter's daughters, so he would take them to the house of his father, Ivan Chapaev. But Pelageya decided to come together with Vasily Ivanovich herself so as not to part with the children.

George Knight completed field sergeant Major Vasily Ivanovich Chapaev World War I, surviving in battles with the Germans. And the Civil War brought him death - at the hands of his countrymen, and maybe those whom he considered to be his comrades.

      father studied at Yves Energy Inst and "lived, 3 students in an apartment in 52-55 years, on the Worker Village", it is nearby. "The owner of the house was Konnik-Chapaevite, came with Furmanov, Ivanovo weavers"
      There were 2 rooms in the house, in one of the owners (I remember by association that Gorky’s grandfather and grandmother are small. Puny (?) As it should be for a jockey rider — it’s easier for a horse, a grandmother is a large, tall, high-born), 2 sons grew up and lived separately already, their room was rented out. in 55 g, dormitories were built on the Paris Commune, and resettled there.

    "Cossacks from the Borodin division staged a massacre of captured Red Army soldiers. At least 1500 Red Army soldiers were killed."

    White terror? Not. Have not heard about this.

    According to Azin.
    "In February 1920, the 28th division crossed the Manych River. On February 17, V. M. Azin, with the division commissar Stelmakh and a group of scouts, rode on horseback to the forward positions to determine the situation (reconnaissance). During the survey, they encountered a group of White Cossacks. from the chase, Azin fired back from a revolver, but when jumping through a small ravine, the horse's girth burst, Azin fell and was taken prisoner.
    The Red Army command offered the exchange of a divisional commander for several captive generals. The commander of the 10th Army A.V. Pavlov broadcast a warning on the radio: “If anything happens to Azin, appropriate repressions will be applied to the first ten officers held captive by him with the rank of colonel or higher.” He was offered the rank of General of the Volunteer Army. He refused, as he refused and signed an appeal to the Red Army. [2]. However, after his captivity over printed units of the Red Army on the Don and Kuban, scattered copies of the allegedly written appeal to the Red Army with an appeal to end the Civil War and make peace with the Cossacks were scattered from the airplanes (the contents of this appeal are set out in the book of G. N. Rakovsky “In the camp of the whites” )
    The time, place and circumstances of the death of V. M. Azin have not been reliably established. According to the official version [3], division commander Azin was tortured and executed (according to one version, he was tied to two horses and torn apart, according to the other, he was tied to two bent trees and then torn apart, according to the third, he was hanged, and according to the fourth, he was shot) and was buried at the local cemetery in the village of Tikhoretskaya (now Fastovetskaya). "

      The truth is somewhere nearby ... Cossacks (both white and red) were still scumbags - so if he got caught by white Cossacks - they could break both horses and tie them to two trees. But - right after the capture, not offering any alternative! But if he, as a valuable prisoner, was handed over "where necessary" - they could offer the rank of General of the Volunteer Army, but after the refusal - most likely, they shot him (they could hang him only if he was involved in special atrocities).

And then there were many versions of Kotovsky’s murder, which were voiced “privately” by his employees. There was even a version that Frunze planned to appoint him as his deputy. True, Frunze himself survived Kotovsky for a couple of months. Maybe Voroshilov "cleared" his way?

        But I’m wondering, Slashchev, who fought on South and Crimea under the command of Denikin and Wrangel, what does he have to do with the death of Chapaev in the Urals?

        Timofey Ippolitovich SladDkov - Colonel, Ural Cossack. He did not study in any academies of the Reds, managed to get to Persia with a small detachment in 1920 and then lived his whole life in emigration, he died almost 40 years later, at 1956 in Paris. Strange phrases, dear, "that the author will weave." First you need to figure out who they are. Moreover, Sladkov is not so rare a surname that only one member of the Civil War can wear it.

      He was a very intelligent commander. His division was unusually "mechanized": it had armored cars, cars, and even reconnaissance aircraft.

        voyaka uh. Totally agree with you. Not for boasting, my grandfather served under the command of Chapaev. The film "Chapaev" he did not like, said that nonsense. He said that Chapaev had a Ford-T with a machine gun. And he said that there was a betrayal. And that when the whites attacked, they jumped out in only their underpants. He said that an intelligent man was Chapaev.

    Who killed Chapaev, I knew from school. Classmate told :)
    Like ... schoolchildren are asked to invite their grandfathers to the dedication holiday in October. Well, the old people are welcomed, applause, squeals, clangs ... and asked to talk about their memories in the fighting of the revolution. A handsome grandfather Semyon enters the stage and tells:
    “Kolka and I are sitting on the shore, the machine gun is loaded, guarding our positions ... Suddenly Kolka sees - the enemy is in the river - and shouts in my ear“ Ruby, Semyon, the red bastard !!! ” a couple of days later they told me that it was Chapaev. "

    1. Unfortunately, many of our military leaders from the people often neglected their safety, and together with their headquarters broke away from the troops. So Parkhomenko, Chapaev, Kalandarashvili, and many other heroes died.
    2. Gossip about the death of Chapaev can not be counted. I believe that if Furmanov’s version were incorrect, then when he wrote his novel, and when the Vasiliev brothers made a film about Chapaev, there were still living witnesses of his death from both the red and white sides, they would certainly have protested this version and voiced how it was.
    3. But the anecdotes about Chapaev were not invented by the Soviet people, they were developed abroad, it was one of the components of the ideological sabotage of world imperialism against the USSR, whole institutions worked for it.

        You laugh in vain, you better think about it, before the start of perestroika there was a huge amount of political jokes. And after the start of perestroika, their number suddenly began to decrease sharply, and immediately after 1991 they practically disappeared.

        The question is, why? The reason is simple. Dozens of institutes worked against the USSR in the USA and other countries, which composed jokes about Brezhnev, Chapaev, etc.
        Among them:
        The Keston Institute, founded in 1969 in the UK as the Center for the Study of Religion and Communism, collected and disseminated data on the religious situation in the USSR and the countries of the socialist camp.
        Munich Institute for the Study of the History and Culture of the USSR - Worked in Munich in 1950-1972 against the USSR, founded by the second wave of Russian emigration.
        Massachusetts Institute (one of the leading universities in the USA, and the whole world), etc.
        Immediately after the task of destroying the geopolitical adversary was successfully completed. The USSR was completely defeated, so the need for writing jokes disappeared, because all this requires enormous funding.

          Have you heard such a saying, "Forbidden fruit is sweet"? Under the USSR, all the heroes of jokes were idols of ideology, pure and sinless. Then perestroika, glasnost and heroes turn out to be the same people as everyone, with all the advantages and disadvantages. That’s the whole explanation. For example, at least take jokes about khrushch and the absence of them about humpbacks and Yeltsin. And about Lieutenant Rzhevsky who composed jokes? Did we have similar institutes? I doubt it.

    Somewhere on the same site there was another article about Chapaev. There it was said in more detail that the Reds had air reconnaissance, but she "did not notice" the whites in the reeds (an assumption based on the subsequent transition of these aviators to white). Well, plus, do not forget that the Reds are not only Bolsheviks, but also Trotskyists. It was with their hands that they killed including, after the civil war, many good commanders.
