"Give Kiev!". Kiev will be liberated! (Part 1)
Lead clouds overhead ... cold Dnepr ... hundreds of thousands of dead.
Today I want to show you photographs taken on Sunday at the reconstruction of the Battle of Kiev on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the event. November 6, 1943 is the day of the liberation of Kiev. I first visited the militaryhistorical reconstruction and say that I liked it - to say nothing. Reconstruction is not a movie and this is not a game of war, it is an opportunity to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of that time, visualize and feel the details.
"Give Kiev!" - This is a reconstruction of the battles that took place in these places, and realistically reflects that tragic time.
During the battle, a large number of heavy weapons, auto, motorcycle and armored vehicles, artillery, aviation and cavalry.
The participants vividly demonstrated the actions of the various units of the opposing armies.
In 2013, 10 marks the “Give Kyiv!” Festival, in honor of which the festival organizing committee decided to hold an event with the reconstruction of forcing a water barrier and subsequent capture and expansion of the springboard.
The venue of the “Give Kyiv!” Festival in 2013 was the Sitnyaki tract in the Desnyansky district of the city of Kiev (near the Troeshchyna railway station).
The script of the festival "Give Kiev!" provided for the reconstruction of the combat operations of the consolidated detachment under the command of the deputy commander of the 71 Infantry Division of Colonel S. Slivin 4-6 in November 1943, which operated in isolation from the main forces of the 38 army leading to the offensive from the Lutezh springboard. Fighting squad was one of the most important elements of an offensive to liberate Kiev in order to create a barrier to enemy reserves, the transfer of which by the Bukrin bridgehead began immediately after the attack of the Soviet troops from the Lutezhsky bridgehead of 3 in November 1943.
From the memoirs of Kirill Semenovich Moskalenko "In the South-West direction, 1943-1945, Memoirs of the Commander"
I have already noted that the 38 th Army, concentrated on the Lutezhsky Platform, at the same time had a consolidated detachment on the left bank of the Dnieper. He defended the line from the mouth of the Desna to the junction with 40-th army in the area of the settlement of Kaylov. The combined detachment in the 126 and 367 rifle regiments of the 71 rifle division, the 127 th and 128 th of the Armenian commanding detachments and the training battalion was led by a detachment of the detainee, a disciple of the 17 To him, I put 2 November on such a task:
"I. Forces, at your disposal, prepare a strike from the disciplines of the group of children’s disciplines in the area of Vit Lithuanian, Pirogovo and shortly cut the road going from the south through Pirogovo to Kiev and not allow the movement to withdraw the movement. city by special order.
2. From the morning of 3.11.43 (time-in addition) with all the parts that are in your submission and to the members of the race, to your children, to your children, to the 237 sd and young lieutenants, to use fire, to use smoke and rockets to hold down the enemy and his marry Dnieper, for which to prepare boats and steam.
3. To work on the personal instructions of the wake. Army commander Batiun. Plan to submit a statement to 20 2.11.43 clock. "{99}
This order reflected one of the most important elements of the plan of the forthcoming attack operation north of Kiev. It was intended to create a gass on the way of enemy reserves, the transfer of which from the side of the Bukrin Platform to the German-fascist command, as we understood, had to start immediately after our bang. And the detachment of Colonel Slivina brilliantly escaped with this task.
On the day of the transfer of the army to the attack, he bound the enemy with fire and demonstrated the forcing of the Dnieper. And on the night of 4 in November, he crossed the river in the area of Kazachiy Island and captured the platform on the means at hand.
In the festival "Give Kiev!" Military history clubs not only from Ukraine, but also from Russia, Belarus, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, the Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Israel, Germany, France, the USA, and Poland took part. There are more than 1400 participants.
