The feat of the partisan. What did Stalin make captain Naumov for generals
9 April 1943, another major general appeared in the USSR. The point, in general, is mediocre for war. Then they quickly grew in ranks, and even the fact that the newly minted Major-General Mikhail Ivanovich Naumov had not turned 35 years old also did not surprise anyone in those years. Much more interesting was the fact that Major General Mikhail Naumov was immediately from ... the captain. Moreover, by personal order of the Supreme Commander Comrade Stalin.
Misha Naumov grew up the most common working lad, of whom there were millions in the Soviet Union. He was born on October 3 1908, before the revolution, in the village of Bolshaya Sosnova (now the Bolshesosovsky District of the Perm Territory) in a peasant family. Like many of his peers, Misha was swept by a wave of urbanization and industrialization. He entered as a pipe fitter at a mine in the city of Kizel, and in 1928, he joined the CPSU (b).
The guy from the workers, the party - the ideal data for that time. In 1929, he became secretary of the Maykor district committee of the Komsomol of the Upper Kama district, then returned to his native Bolshaya Sosnova as deputy district consumer union. But Misha did not hold long positions of authority. In 1930, he was called up for active military service and, not surprisingly with such data, sent to serve in the OGPU troops.
Mikhail Naumov began serving in the 23 rifle regiment of the OGPU troops in the town of Shostka, Sumy region, was the junior commander and secretary of the party's organization of the division. In 1932, Naumov was sent to study at the military-chemical school of the OGPU troops in Gomel, which he graduated in 1933 year and was distributed by the head of the chemical service of the 21 rifle regiment of the OGPU troops, while also being the secretary of the party organization of the regiment. The 21 th Infantry Regiment of the OGPU was deployed in Tula, Tula region, and carried out tasks for the protection of public order.
In 1935, a promising and young commander was sent to study at the Higher Border School in Moscow. after which in the 1937 year, Mikhail Naumov was appointed company commander as part of the 4 regiment in Kiev. From 1939 to July 1941, Naumov served in various command positions in the Ukrainian SSR, including being an assistant to the head of the educational department of the district school of junior commanders of the border troops of the NKVD of the Ukrainian SSR.
By the time Hitler Germany attacked the Soviet Union, Senior Lieutenant Mikhail Naumov served in the 94 frontier detachment. Literally before the war, he was promoted to captain.
In July, 1941, in battles for crossing the Dniester in the city of Galich, Naumov was wounded, with a part of the border detachment cut off from the rest of his comrades and was forced to independently make his way east with a group of subordinates. In the lists of the NKVD of the USSR, the head of the 2 division of the 94 border detachment, Captain Mikhail Naumov, was reported missing.
But Naumov did not fall into German captivity, did not die, and by the end of 1941, he was able to get in touch with Sumy partisans and join as an ordinary soldier in the Chervony partisan detachment. Soon, Naumov, taking into account his age and command experience, became the commander of the combat group of the partisan detachment, and at the beginning of 1942, he was elected chief of staff of the partisan detachments of the Khinelsky forests. In the submission of Naumov was his partisan detachment.
In October 1942, the Ukrainian headquarters of the partisan movement appointed Mikhail Naumov head of the headquarters of all partisan units in the Sumy region. So Naumov from the usual captain of the border detachment turned out to be a big partisan military leader. In January, 1943, he took command of a huge compound of partisan detachments, which included Chervony, Konotop, Yampolsky, Kharkov, Nedrigaylovsky, Kotovsky, Kirovograd groups. For personal courage, Naumov was awarded the Medal “For Courage”, which was usually awarded to the private and non-commissioned corps of the Red Army.
In February, 1943, Mikhail Naumov launched an unprecedented guerrilla raid on the rear of the Nazi troops. Guerrillas on horses and cart 65 days followed the route from the Kursk region through the Sumy region and the Poltava region to the Kirovograd region and then on to the Odessa, Vinnitsa and Zhytomyr regions and through the Kiev region to the Pinsk region of the Byelorussian SSR.
For two months, Naumov's partisans managed to cover 2379 kilometers. The damage inflicted on the enemy’s rear units, infrastructure, was enormous. Garrisons were destroyed, bridges and railways exploded, warehouses with ammunition and ammunition were burned. In some places, the Naumovites organized new partisan detachments from local anti-fascists and underground fighters.
In the Vinnitsa region, Naumov, without knowing it, moved along the route past Adolf Hitler’s secret wolf’s den. Information about the appearance of partisans in the vicinity of the Fuhrer’s headquarters caused a real panic in Berlin. They were immediately transferred to the area tank parts aviation, however, the Numovites managed to break out of the ring and continue their raid.
At the end of February, 1943, Naumov received a radiogram. The headquarters of the partisan movement reported that its raid aroused great interest of the High Command. 7 March 1943 Mikhail Naumov was awarded the high title of Hero of the Soviet Union. The results of the raid were reported to Joseph Stalin. The Supreme, having heard that the captain, the border guard, commanded the raid, remarked: "Captain ... No, it does not work, the general."
9 April 1943 was awarded the rank of Major General to Mikhail Naumov. 34-year-old Naumov became one of the youngest generals of the Red Army, and the fact that the rank of general was given to the captain, bypassing three stages - a major, lieutenant colonel and colonel, is one of the most unique cases in the military stories.
In July, the 1943 of the year carried out a second raid on the enemy’s rear with a compound of Major General Naumov, and a third raid in the winter - in the spring of 1944. In total, the partisans - Naumovtsy passed more than 10 thousands of kilometers, conducted more than 300 combat operations, causing enormous damage to the enemy with their actions. Interestingly, 15 September 1943, during the next raid, the partisans Naumova sided with weapons in the hands of a whole company of Armenian legionnaires of the Wehrmacht’s security forces numbering over 240. Mikhail Naumov formed a partisan detachment of them from the Armenians. A.I. Mikoyan.
The partisans of Naumov passed through the territory of Western Ukraine - Volyn, Drohobych, Rivne, Lviv, Ternopil regions, and entered the Lublin Voivodeship of Poland. The total number of partisan connections has increased to 2000 people. By the decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Ukrainian SSR on March 30, the formation was awarded the Honorary Red Banner of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Ukrainian SSR, the Council of People's Commissars of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic and the Central Committee of the Communist Party (B) U.
By the middle of 1944, the need for a partisan movement began to subside. Major-General Naumov was sent to study at the Higher Academic Courses at the Higher Military Academy named after KE Voroshilov in Moscow. After completing the course, he was appointed deputy commander of the 26 Guards Rifle Division of the 11 Army in Tilsit, East Prussia.
After the war, Mikhail Naumov, a native of the internal and border troops, did not continue to serve in the Red Army. He returned to the USSR Ministry of Internal Affairs system and in 1946, he was appointed head of the USSR Ministry of Internal Affairs Directorate for Chernivtsi region. Located in western Ukraine, Chernivtsi region was very problematic - it became part of the Soviet Union shortly before the outbreak of the war, anti-Soviet sentiments were very strong, especially among the wealthy German and Romanian people. There was a struggle with numerous gangs. Nevertheless, in his four years of service in the Chernivtsi region, Major General Naumov coped with his tasks.
In 1951, Naumov was appointed deputy head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the city of Leningrad and the Leningrad Region. In this position, the general was until 1953, after which he was appointed Acting Minister of the Interior of the Ukrainian SSR. According to the recollections of Mikhail Ivanovich’s daughter, he was offered the choice of the post of head of the Moscow Criminal Investigation Department or Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of the Ukrainian SSR. And Mikhail Ivanovich, in love with Ukraine since the beginning of his service in the Sumy region, of course, chose the latter.
But there is another version - Nikita Khrushchev, with whom Mikhail Naumov had good relations, in that very difficult and dangerous 1953 year he needed his own man in the leadership of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Ukrainian SSR, which in case of something could become a counterweight to the “Berievites”. In any case, Mikhail Naumov returned to Ukraine, where he settled until the end of his life. Since March 1953, General Mikhail Naumov served as the head of the Directorate of the Interior Forces of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Ukrainian SSR.
The partisan past made Mikhail Ivanovich Naumov a tough and principled man who knew how much and what was worth.
- recalled in an interview the daughter of General Naumova Galina Mikhailovna.
Speaking of personal life. With his wife, Nadezhda Trofimovna, who was four years younger, Mikhail Naumov met a very young junior commander when he began his service in Shostka in the 23 rifle regiment of the OGPU. In the 1937 year, Michael and Nadezhda had a son, Vladislav, in 1941, the daughter Galina, in the 1947 year, the daughter Valeria. During the war, for obvious reasons, the Naumov family was evacuated deep into the Soviet Union.
Daughters remembered their father as a strong-willed and strong man. According to his wife, he was made tough by his everyday life — before the war, young Mikhail Naumov was significantly softer. Sometimes Mikhail Ivanovich liked to emphasize that he was the youngest general after Vasily Stalin.
In 1960, the celebrated guerrilla commander, and then the responsible senior executive of the Ministry of the Interior system, retired. He lived in Kiev, was a deputy of the Supreme Soviet of the Ukrainian SSR of the 4th and 5th convocations, a delegate to the 16th and 21st congresses of the Communist Party of Ukraine. Until the end of his life, Mikhail Naumov continued to communicate with his comrades — partisans; he was friends with Petr Petrovich Vershigora, another famous partisan commander, and took part in meetings of veterans of the partisan movement.
February 8, 1974, at the 66th year of life, Mikhail Ivanovich Naumov died. He was buried in Kiev at the Baykovsky cemetery. In honor of Mikhail Naumov, streets were named in Perm, Kiev, the village of Stavishche, Kiev region, the village of Bolshaya Sosnova, Perm Territory. The school in Big Sosnov bears his name, and a Pacific patrol boat was named in honor of Mikhail Naumov fleet.
The children of Mikhail Ivanovich became worthy people: his son Vladislav worked as an engineer, his daughter Galina worked as a general practitioner, managed a polyclinic, and Valeria Mikhailovna worked as a defectologist, worked in a special school for difficult children.

My father did not feel much reverence before those in power. He had good business relations with Nikita Sergeevich Khrushchev, whom his father had known since the war. In general, he did not like the elite. Often he called party and state leaders snobs, fenced off from the people blue fences. The last sentence he once threw from the podium of the session of the Supreme Soviet of the Ukrainian SSR, of which he was a deputy. All Kondrashka not enough,
