"Shield and sword" of the Soviet intelligence. Alexander Svyatogorov

152

One of the partisan detachments during the Great Patriotic War

Many citizens who were born in the USSR, and those who were born after the collapse of the Land of the Soviets, watched the feature film "Shield and Sword". The four-part feature film was shot in 1968 and played very well at the box office. More than 135 million people watched the picture. Then none of the audience of the film knew that the prototype of the intelligence officer Alexander Belov was Alexander Panteleimonovich Svyatogorov, one of the outstanding Soviet intelligence officers during the Great Patriotic War and the first post-war years.

How a Zaporizhstal employee became a Chekist


Alexander Svyatogorov was born on December 15, 1913 in an ordinary working-class family in the city of Kharkov. In his hometown, the future intelligence officer first graduated from school, and then from a technical school, after which he worked for a long time at the Zaporizhstal plant. Since 1932, Alexander Svyatogorov worked at the enterprise, first as a foreman, then as a shift supervisor and at the end as a shop manager, having managed to build a rather successful working career. According to the recollections of his son, during the years of work he was both a leader in production and a Stakhanovite, and even came up with one technical innovation that allowed him to optimize the work process: one person could do the work of four workers on the conveyor.



The son also recalled that Alexander Svyatogorov was fond of sports, although he never differed in his heroic physique, height - 175 cm, shoe size - 42. At the same time, Svyatogorov had an excellent reaction and a good sense of humor. A civilian with a technical education who built a good career in manufacturing, he never studied the art of intelligence, but ended up in the ranks of the NKVD. It happened in the late 1930s.

At the same time, Alexander Svyatogorov himself recalled that he witnessed the repressions unfolding during these years, when every now and then not only the heads of the shops, but also ordinary workers disappeared from the plant. They summoned Svyatogorov to the NKVD and asked him to testify against a worker from Zaporizhstal named Melnichuk, who, under torture, confessed that he was a Japanese spy. In turn, Alexander Svyatogorov knew him exclusively as a decent and honest person, an ordinary hard worker from the countryside. During interrogation as a witness, Svyatogorov refused to slander an innocent person and recognize him as an enemy of the people. As a result, Melnichuk was still released, and Svyatogorov, most likely, was remembered as a person who did not shy away and did not testify against an innocent person.


Perhaps this story also played a role when Svyatogorov was invited to work in the state security agencies in 1939. The NKVD needed new cadres, competent and well-educated specialists. By that time, the organs themselves had been cleansed. Yezhov and many of the employees who took part in the great terror were shot, it was necessary to renew the staff. So Svyatogorov, quite unexpectedly for himself, became a Chekist. Among other things, he was engaged in the consideration of cases of previously arrested people, prepared his conclusions on various cases. Thanks to this, some of the arrested were released. At the same time, Svyatogorov studied foreign languages ​​and studied the basics of operational work, all these skills will be useful to him already during the Great Patriotic War.

Liquidation of the chief of the Kharkiv garrison


Alexander Panteleimonovich met the beginning of the war in Zaporozhye, where he continued to work almost until the surrender of the city. At this time, NKVD officers were involved in operations to search for German saboteurs and paratroopers, restore order in the rear of the Red Army troops, mine and prepare for the explosion of important urban industrial and infrastructure facilities. In addition to saboteurs, the Chekists had to fight with looters. Once they managed to detain the head of the savings bank, who was trying to escape with the bags full of money that he took from work.

After mining strategic objects in Zaporozhye, Svyatogorov left at the disposal of the captain of state security Leonov, who took over as head of the 1st Directorate (intelligence) of the NKVD of the Ukrainian SSR. This department was responsible for the creation of an agent network on the territory occupied by the Germans, and also oversaw the preparation of reconnaissance and sabotage groups and their transfer over the front line to the rear of the enemy. The administration was especially active in the regions of Kharkov and Voroshilovgrad (Lugansk). Only on the territory of the Zaporozhye region, with the participation of the 1st Directorate of the NKVD of the Ukrainian SSR, 59 partisan detachments were created with a total number of more than 2600 people. All of them were transferred to the rear of the enemy and were active in the occupied territory.

It is believed that with the participation of Alexander Svyatogorov, an agent network was organized in Kharkov, as well as mining of important objects: bridges, factories and individual buildings was carried out. Among other things, the Khrushchev House was also mined. A solid brick mansion in which Nikita Khrushchev, First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party (Bolsheviks) of Ukraine, lived in the pre-war years. The building was mined by saboteurs under the leadership of the well-known mine explosives expert Ilya Starinov. The calculation of the Soviet side fully justified itself; the high German authorities chose the mansion for their accommodation. The headquarters of the commander of the 68th Infantry Division of the Wehrmacht, Major General Georg Braun, was located in the building.

Taught by the bitter experience of Kiev, the Germans examined all the buildings that were going to occupy. But in the mansion they found only the bait left by the Soviet miners, a powerful land mine in the basement. At the same time, a real radio-controlled mine was located deeper, its German sappers safely overlooked. The agents left in the city followed the movement of Brown, who was the head of the Kharkov garrison. When the general drove into the mansion and arranged a reception, information about this became known to Svyatogorov, who passed it on to Starinov, who activated an explosive device with a capacity of at least 350 kg in TNT equivalent. The activation was carried out using a radio signal, which was transmitted to the city from Voronezh. As a result of a terrible explosion, the mansion was destroyed, General Georg Brown himself, two officers of the division headquarters, as well as 10 privates and non-commissioned officers of the headquarters (almost all clerks) were killed under the rubble. There were also seriously wounded, among them the chief of the reconnaissance department of the 68th Infantry Division.

In February 1942, when Leonov died, his adjutant Svyatogorov actually continued the work he had begun. He himself studied hard and was engaged in the further preparation of saboteurs for throwing into the German rear. Alexander Svyatogorov was engaged in this work until the liberation of Kiev by Soviet troops in November 1943. After that, he himself was appointed commander of a reconnaissance and sabotage group, which was transferred to Poland in the Lublin Voivodeship.

Liquidation of the Lublin intelligence school of the Abwehr


In the Lublin Voivodeship, Svyatogorov's sabotage and reconnaissance group got used to it quickly enough, choosing one of the partisan detachments operating on the territory as its base. On the territory of Poland, the group trained intelligence officers, invented various legends for them and supplied them with German documents, which were prepared by a separate specialist. Svyatogorov sent trained agents to various enemy services, where they obtained intelligence, sabotaged and killed high-ranking German officials.

From 1944 to 1945 he took part in reconnaissance and sabotage activities in Poland and Slovakia. The scouts' success was the defeat of the 14th SS Grenadier Division "Galicia", which was recruited from Ukrainian volunteers. The division was not so much noted in the battles at the front as it stained itself in numerous war crimes against civilians in various European countries. In battles with the Red Army, it was defeated in July 1944 near Brody. The remnants of the division, including numerous deserters, fled west. Some of these fighters reached the partisan detachment, which included Svyatogorov.

Some of them managed to be recruited and introduced into the Lublin Intelligence School, thanks to which Soviet intelligence received a lot of useful information. Including personal photos of saboteurs trained at the school. At the same time, Svyatogorov himself appeared several times in Lublin in the form of a German officer, but was not at the school itself, carrying out general management and coordination of operations. When the scout learned that the head of the Lublin Gestapo, Akkardt, was attending the school, he decided to conduct a raid, which was successful. The intelligence school was defeated, and Akkardt was killed. At the same time, the scouts got valuable documents that were transferred to Moscow and helped to neutralize some of the saboteurs already transported across the front line. Around the same time, Svyatogorov began to act under the pseudonym Major Zorich, which he retained during operations in Slovakia. The pseudonym was taken in honor of the deceased Serbian friend Svyatogorov, who saved his life.


Alexander Svyatogorov

Another famous operation organized by Svyatogorov was the capture of Walter Feilengauer, assistant chief of the Abwehr, personal representative of Admiral Canaris. Hauptmann Feilengauer was taken to Lublin, where he arrived with his mistress and personal secretary, Sofia Sontag. At this time, a scout from Svyatogorov's detachment, Pole Stanislav Rokich, who was fluent in German, was already operating in the city. He was in the city as the Hauptmann of the German army with documents in the name of Friedrich Krause. In Lublin, he met the German translator and typist Taisia ​​Brook, who turned out to be Sontag's longtime friend. When this became known, Alexander Svyatogorov decided to implement a daring plan. In a short time, Krause's wedding with Brook was played out, to which Sontag was invited.

Knowing that Feilengauer was jealous, the scouts hoped that he would also come to the solemn event, and so it happened. As a result, Canaris' personal representative was taken alive at a rigged wedding, on which Soviet intelligence officers spent several thousand zlotys. But the event paid off completely, since the information received from Feilengauer was invaluable.

Later, Alexander Svyatogorov carried out sabotage and intelligence activities on the territory of Slovakia, was engaged in the release of Czechoslovak communists from prison, and participated in the organization of the Slovak national uprising. He acted in the area of ​​Banská Bystrica, where he landed as part of a sabotage detachment of 12 people on October 16, 1944. The detachment joined with the partisans of Alexei Yegorov and acted under the name "Foreign". Alexander Svyatogorov celebrated Victory Day in Slovakia, in Bratislava.

Post-war service of Alexander Svyatogorov


After the war, as a person who knew the Slovak language well, Svyatogorov, after an internship, ended up in Bratislava as vice consul of the USSR Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which was only a legal cover for intelligence work. From 1948 he worked in Berlin. Here he acted under the legend of the "defector", supervising operational activities. Svyatogorov carried out general management of the local station until 1961, after which he was recalled to Moscow. This was largely due to the fact that the KGB agent, the direct executor of the murder of Stepan Bandera, Bogdan Stashinsky, fled to West Berlin.

This was a serious blunder for Soviet intelligence, which affected the fate of many security officers working in the GDR. So Svyatogorov actually ended his career. He even managed to sit in Lefortovo, but was acquitted and released. At the same time, the head of the KGB of Ukraine found a position for Alexander Panteleimonovich at the Institute of Cybernetics of the National Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR, where Svyatogorov worked for a long time, overseeing the creation of codes and ciphers, as well as carrying out counterintelligence support for these activities. The famous Soviet intelligence officer died on June 22, 2008, six months before his 95th birthday. He was buried in Kiev at the memorial Baikovo cemetery.

    An extraordinary and courageous person: to operate successfully on the territory of Poland, where not only Hitlerites, but also, in many ways, Poles, not everyone would have succeeded.

      If you look closely, then: Two Orders of the Red Star, Two Medals, or For Courage or For Military Merit. That's all for the war. The badge of the Honorary State Security Officer - since 1957, the second - the jubilee badge of 50 or 60 years of the Cheka - KGB. I agree that an award-winning person is not spoiled.

          Vera, by the way, during the SS war, the black uniform was no longer worn. All were dressed in "fieldgrau". Rings on caps and stripes differed, of course. Camouflage was widely used.
          An interesting fact: the 12th SS division "Hitler Youth" after 1943 sported in Italian camouflage - from the captured warehouses of the Italian army. There is such a camouflage - Figure # 2.

                Heinrich, who was the Gestapo-Müller, in the uniform of a Gruppenführer, in black uniform did not find a single photo either.

                  They say that the Schellenberg family really liked Tabakov who played him. I can't vouch for the truth, from the wiki: Relatives, in particular Schellenberg's beloved niece, after watching the film even sent a letter to Tabakov expressing the highest satisfaction from his work. They also used the Soviet film as a visual aid, so that the younger members of the family also remember and know their “genius” relative: “Thank you for being kind, like Uncle Walter, and for giving you the opportunity to look at him again!”. Actor and bard Yuri Vizbor, who played the role of Martin Bormann in the film, liked to tell the story of this letter at his creative evenings (audio recordings of the story have been preserved).

                    Well, I'm not sure about the letter from the "niece", I suppose this is just another acting story. A couple of times I attended Visbor's "creative evenings" in KSPeshnie clubs and he never stuttered about it there, apparently everything depended on the amount taken by the collar. wink
                    As for Tabakov, with his puffy "woman's face", in the role of a refined Master of Arts and Bachelor of Laws, he somehow did not pull it at least outwardly. In my opinion, at least.
                    And about the film I remembered the anecdote of those times:

                    Phone call from Müller - Stirlitz:

                    - Buddy Stirlitz, how much will be twice or two?

                    Disturbing music and Kopelyan's voice-over:

                    "Stirlitz did not know how many would be twice or two, but he also did not know if Mueller knew about it ..."

                    In short, the whole plot of the film is in this phrase. laughing But, all the same, I watched with pleasure, a talented fairy tale. drinks

                        On weekends, we went to Pskov, and there, on the border of the Leningrad and Pskov regions, there is the village of Andromer. And I remember that the Germans carried out a massacre there, and someone else published an article about this on VO at the time. I also remember that eight scoundrels in the uniform of the color "fieldgrau" were then hanged in Leningrad in 1946.
                        Here, from the court, about the last of them:
                        Ore-freighter Skotki Erwin - participated in the execution of 150 people in Luga, burned 50 houses there. He participated in the burning of the villages of Bukino, Borki, Troshkino, Novoselye, Podborovye, Milyutino. He personally burned 200 houses. He took part in the liquidation of the villages of Rostkovo, Moromerka, and the Andromer state farm.
                        What a talking surname - "cattle". Eight German reptiles were convicted and hanged for these crimes.
                        and here is the interrogation of the animal in court:

      By the decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR from 28 May 1943 city for diplomatic workers of the People's Commissariat of Foreign Affairs personal diplomatic ranks were established: Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, Ambassadors Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of 1 and 2 classes, advisers of 1 and 2 classes, first secretaries of 1 and 2 classes, second secretaries of 1 and 2 classes, third secretaries and attachés ... IN On the same day, by the Decree of the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR, ceremonial and everyday uniforms were introduced for diplomatic employees of the People's Commissariat, as well as for diplomatic employees of embassies and missions abroad.

      Black dress and gray casual uniforms included a coat, uniform or jacket, trousers, shirt, tie, vest, boots, gloves, and a cap. The dress uniform, which was made of more expensive materials with gold embroidery, was accompanied by a dagger “in a black leather sheath with gilded metal trim”. On the front side of the scabbard of the diplomatic dagger, the image of the Coat of Arms of the USSR was given, and on the back side there was an emblem, a traditional symbol of peaceful intentions: two palm branches of gilded metal crossed and tied with a ribbon.

    They summoned Svyatogorov to the NKVD and asked him to testify against a worker from Zaporizhstal by the last name Melnichuk, who, under torture, confessed to being a Japanese spy. In turn, Alexander Svyatogorov knew him exclusively as a decent and honest person, an ordinary hard worker from the countryside. Under interrogation as a witness Svyatogorov refused to slander an innocent person and recognize him as an enemy of the people. As a result, Melnichuk was still released, and Svyatogorov, most likely, was remembered as a person who did not shy away and did not begin to testify against an innocent person.(C)
    Question: why did they not beat Svyatogorov on the kidneys and knock out testimony, which prevented the "bloody NKVDeshniks" from treating Svyatogorov as with Melnichuk? After all, two exposed enemies are more than one! the author does not grow together in the issue of repression.

    The famous Soviet intelligence officer died on June 22, 2008, six months before his 95th birthday. He was buried in Kiev at the memorial Baikovo cemetery.

    God saved us to live until 2014. For such a person to live in the country of victorious Nazism and see with his own eyes all this nightmare, against which he fought, not sparing himself ... It would be scary.

      No connection. Towards the end of the series, Weiss-Lyubshin, in his free time from working for the Wehrmacht, attacks a German concentration camp (on the territory of Germany!) And frees the actress V. Titova. Stirlitz saved his radio operator more plausibly, but also in a fabulous way.

        Valentina Titova - played another heroine, in the Abwehr school she was according to legend - the daughter of a repressed general, and Weiss allegedly recruited her by order of his superiors, then she helped him in intelligence. He freed another heroine from the camp, a gymnast who worked with Zubov and who came to him to contact the Center, I do not remember the artist's surname.

          I also remember the episode, but I don’t remember the artists, except for Lyubshin. It will be necessary to revise, as well as the film “The Way to Saturn” and the sequel, when it ended up in the “department of Gehlen,” remember? In my opinion, he is more suited to Svyatogorov. Perhaps the author confused the firms?

            In the beginning, the WAY TO SATURN, some real story of Soviet intelligence and the hero Krylov has a real prototype, but I just don't know what happened to him after the war.

              I agree with this, in general the films about "Saturn" are much more realistic than "Shield and Sword".

          Anyway, let him save the one whom the scriptwriter ordered. I mean, at the beginning the film is quite real, but then, towards the end, fantasy begins. Only the beginning of the film approaches our real illegal. Moreover, before the film, Rudolph Abel (William Fischer) speaks for a couple of minutes.

    "Svyatogorov, most likely, he remembered as a person who did not shy away and did not begin to testify against the innocent" author, here it is completely different: "methods of physical pressure" were used against Melnichuk, but simply bludgeoned, Svyatogorov was not touched and then released Most likely Yezhov was dismissed, and the regional leadership did not "drive the horses" fig knows him suddenly LP Beria does not need a plan for executions?
    "the organs themselves were purged" that is, which "remembered" themselves turned out to be "enemies of the people." Svyatogorov ended up in the NKVD through a "partner recruitment". Then the NKVD recruited people with a "good profile" and at least a little cultured. They realized that "class flair" will not replace education. And Svyatogorov graduated from high school and technical school for the 30s, but very well.

    If not mistaken, then "Svyatogorov in the first years of service" senior sergeant of state security is an analogue of senior lieutenant.
    Recently I watched the film "Green Chains" where the major of state security has insignia that do not correspond to his rank. 2 "sleepers" - senior lieutenant or rather captain

        colleagues, enlighten me on "cubes"! drinks
        If you remember the series "The Master and Margarita", a representative of the NKVD has four cubes in his buttonholes. At first I thought it was a mistake of filmmakers, but there is information that such a form really was. hi
        A series of orders of the GPU-OGPU of the period 1924-1934. The categories of positions for state security officers were introduced: in the twenties there were 17, in the early thirties - 13. In fact, it was a hidden transition to personal special ranks.
        VI Assistant to the duty commandant of the OGPU - 4 dice

        Interestingly, the military also had four cubes until 1935.
        4 squares - Commander of a separate company, commander of a training company, commander of a tank company, assistant commander of a battalion and their peers.

    Perhaps this is my perception, but the film "Shield and Sword" is inferior in all respects: "Seventeen Moments of Spring".
    I heard the song ahead: "Where does the Motherland begin" (they taught at school) I saw the poster and really wanted to see it (then YouTube was not there), when I saw it I was disappointed: a good movie, but ... I expected more.
    Around that period, I watched: "Calling fire on ourselves", then I specifically looked to read about Anya Morozova, "Five from the sky" and he somehow got lost among them.
    I adore Lioznova's series and watch it in black and white, and my son loved the color version. And my "baby" loves more: "Adjutant of His Excellency" and "Sacred Relic" (often revises on YouTube)
