I am convinced that only the truth can be a worthy monument to the fallen and to the time when it was so difficult to defend not only the life of the country, the dignity of the people, but also the right to one’s own life, in general, just beginning then, and, of course, the opportunity to see now , after more than forty years, this excited tenderness of young foliage, the hidden expectation of a re-encounter of this green magic of spring ...
Innokenty Smoktunovsky, Be
I decided a long time ago that this magnificent theater and film actor, a participant in the Great Patriotic War, whose name is hardly associated in my mind with the tragedy of our country in 1941-45. In a series of fellow front-line soldiers, Innokenty Mikhailovich Smoktunovsky is, in my opinion, the most atypical. The mysterious Russian Actor, multifaceted and incomprehensible, with royal graceful manners, great artistic taste ... It seemed that here he is - a man of noble blood, an alien, a star of the first magnitude, what should he do at the front? But the reality turned out to be much more prosaic and harsher. Innokenty Mikhailovich Smoktunovich, a native of the distant Siberian village of Tatyanovka Tomsk region, whose parents were ordinary workers, having seen off his father to the front in 1941, for a year and a half became the support of his mother in large family where he was the second oldest of six children. Kesha combined work in a hospital with studies, first at the medical assistant-obstetric school, and then at projectionist courses. At the same time, he worked as an extra at the Krasnoyarsk Drama Theater. In January 1943, Innokenty was drafted into the army and sent to study at the Kiev Infantry School. But he didn't have time to finish it. He was expelled from the school and sent to the army for the fact that during training time he collected the potatoes remaining in the field. So, as a lanky fellow, unshooted, Smoktunovsky ended up at the front and immediately in hell itself - on the Kursk Bulge. As part of the 212th guards regiment 75th Guards Rifle Division, he also participated in the liberation of Kyiv and the fighting on the Dnieper. Once a regiment headquarters liaison, Private Smoktunovsky, under enemy fire, forded across the Dnieper delivered combat reports to the division headquarters. It was like this: on the Dnieper bridgehead, the Germans with accurate artillery attacks interrupted our connection, stretched along the bottom of the canal. In order to report on the situation on the bridgehead to the higher authorities, located on an island in the middle of the Dnieper, the tallest units were chosen from the units, so that they wade, under fire, now and then plunging headlong into the water, holding only a package with a report over it, they got to the target. Often these attempts ended in the death of soldiers. Here is how Innokenty Mikhailovich himself recalled this episode: This idea was doomed, everyone understood it. My partner, having just entered the water, was wounded and could not stay close to me. I had to leave, try to break through the shelling zone - there was also such an indication, and somewhere in the middle of the channel, choking, barely managing to grab air before going under water again, looking around, I saw how he, strangely spreading his arms , sideways, as if stumbling or drunk, he fell heavily into the water, floundered, got up and again fell on his side. I tried to shout something to him, but I think it was wrong, stupid, and simply useless - the roar of bursts of intensified shelling (the guys at the mortars saw that I was still alive and leaving afloat) drowned out everything around. Having passed the deep part of the channel, looking back on the run, he tried to catch a glance at the crossed section of the ford, but there was no one else: he was either swept away by the current, or he sank. Because of some driftwood, I still tried to inspect everything around ... but the bank and the channel were drearily empty. I delivered that stupid package, in this respect everything was in order, and I was even presented with the medal For Courage, however, they handed it to me 49 years later right on the stage of the Moscow Art Theater after the performance "Molière". This crossing of Smoktunovsky was watched by many, and everyone, those who saw how they beat us on the channel were quite surprised to learn that I didn’t even get scratched: Well, you’re lucky, long one, you’re just lucky, despite being a goner. On December 3, 1943, in the battles near Zhytomyr, Smoktunovsky was captured, for a month he roamed the prisoner-of-war camps in Zhytomyr, Shepetovka, Berdichev, enduring humiliation, bullying and hunger: They fed gruel from the intestines, sometimes the feces of animals also floated there ... An attempt to escape was punishable by immediate execution. There was another way out - those who wished were offered service in the ROA ... But he did not suit me, - Innokenty Mikhailovich admitted in his memoirs. The chance to escape presented itself a month later, when the Germans sent their convoy to Germany: ... I escaped from captivity. We had rampant dysentery in the camp. When we were on the march, we were driven somewhere in a column, my stomach was seized, and I asked under the bridge. I sit and hear footsteps receding upstairs. They forgot about me. I sat under the bridge until dark. Coming out from under the bridge at night, he wandered among forests and swamps, bypassing highways, where he could easily run into the Germans. So, half-conscious, he made his way to the last village hut, knocked on the door and lost consciousness. The soldier, dying of exhaustion, illness and mental trauma, was covered, warmed, washed and left, risking own life and the lives of her children, Ukrainian peasant woman Vasilisa Shevchuk (Baba Vasya, as he called her) from the village of Dmitrovka, Kamenetz-Podolsk (now Khmelnitsky) region. Later, the actor recalled Baba Vasya with great gratitude, remembered and helped not only her, but also her children and grandchildren: How can I forget the Shevchuk family, who sheltered me after escaping from captivity? Baba Vasya died a long time ago, and her daughter Oniska still lives in Shepetovka, and these dear, sincere people who literally saved me come to us, and we always welcome them. Smoktunovsky stayed in Dmitrovka for about a month, and in February 1944, a chance helped him get to the partisans. For several months he fought in the partisan detachment. Lenin Kamenetz-Podolsk connection. In May of the same year, the front line moved sharply to the west, due to which this partisan detachment merged with the regular units of the Red Army. Smoktunovsky recalled: ... the joy of the approaching end of the war bubbled in each of us, and we irresistibly marched west ... In October-December 1944, junior sergeant Smoktunovsky, the commander of the submachine gunners of the Guards Rifle Regiment, participated in the battles for the liberation of Poland and Warsaw. Night battles near the village of Domirau (Dobmrovka) were especially fierce: Nine people survived that night; not hurt, not wounded - and even less, units. I am one of them. However, I didn’t do anything that everyone else wouldn’t do: fall here, crawl away, duck down, stand behind cover, wait a second for an artillery attack, lying at the bottom of a funnel, dive into a ditch from a bomb flying from above - in general, I did everything what everyone did, everyone around is a normal soldier, fighter, person. I did not see, did not know others who acted differently, in two years of uninterrupted front-line life I did not meet a single one. On February 18, 1945, the commander of the submachine gun company, junior sergeant Smoktunovsky, was presented with a medal. For courage behind fighting near the village of Lorzen. Innokenty Mikhailovich ended the war in the German town of Grevesmühlen with the rank of senior sergeant of the guard. Fate clearly took care of Innokenty Mikhailovich: I have never been hurt. Honestly, it’s strange to myself - two years of a real terrible front-line life: I stood under the muzzles of German machine guns, fought surrounded, escaped from captivity ... But he was not wounded. In the fall of 1945, the future actor was demobilized from the army. Even because of a very short stay in captivity, he was forbidden to live in 39 largest cities Soviet Union. Therefore, Innokenty Mikhailovich worked in the theaters of Krasnoyarsk, Norilsk, Makhachkala, Stalingrad. In the mid-fifties he moved to Moscow. He acted in several films. But real fame came to him in Leningrad on the stage of the Bolshoi Theater in the role of Prince Myshkin in the play by Georgy Tovstonogov Idiot. Well, you know about the further fate of the actor as well as I do... Nevertheless, Innokenty Mikhailovich starred in the 1956 film soldiers based on the story by Viktor Nekrasov In the trenches of Stalingrad, where he played the role of a clumsy, stooping, intelligent, bespectacled mathematician, Lieutenant Farber, who fought bravely during Battle of Stalingrad, giving us the opportunity to present the actor as the liberator of Europe... The shooting took place in Stalingrad. It turned out that Smoktunovsky was the only front-line soldier in the film crew, so he unwittingly also became a freelance military consultant for the picture. And then a photo gallery of Soviet actors and directors - participants in the Great Patriotic War. Some of them even before the war took place as actors, played in theaters and theater studios (Anatoly Abramov, Sofia Avericheva, Boris Bityukov, Sergei Bondarchuk, Pyotr Glebov, Zinovy Gerdt, Mikhail Gluzsky, Mikhail Pugovkin, Vladislav Strzhelchik, Adolf Ilyin, Vladimir Etush ) or acted in films (Fyodor Nikitin, Grigory Pluzhnik, Antonina Maksimova). Others comprehended acting skills in theater universities (Nikolai Trofimov, Yuri Ozerov, Ekaterina Verulashvili, Antonina Maksimova, Mikhail Pogorzhelsky, Gleb Romanov) or schools (Yuri Averin, Boris Ivanov, Nikolai Boyarsky, Evgeny Vesnik, Pavel Vinnik, Maxim Grekov, Ivan Lapikov, Alexei Smirnov, Nikolai Slesarev) But most still could not imagine that in the future they would become artists. Among the future front-line actors there were those who forties-fatal served in the army (Nikolai Grinko, Yuri Katin-Yartsev, Mikhail Gluzsky, Nikolai Zasukhin, Yuri Nikulin), were cadets of military schools (Vladimir Gulyaev, Alexei Smirnov, Pyotr Todorovsky, Grigory Chukhrai), underwent military retraining or completed courses for a young fighter (Pyotr Glebov, Boris Ivanov) Since the beginning of the war, many, without waiting for the call to the active army, went to the front as volunteers (Alexander Vokach, Ekaterina Verulashvili, Zoya Vasilkova, Oleg Golubitsky, Zinovy Gerdt, Marinella (Gulya) Koroleva, Fedor Nikitin, Elena Sanko, Lydia Shtykan) Young Evgeny Burenkov, Sergey Gurzo, Vasily Korzun went to fight straight from school; some, in order to quickly get to the front, attributed years to themselves (Vladimir Basov, Alexei Vanin, Nikolai Eremenko Sr., Vladimir Zamansky, Alexei Mironov, Mikhail Pugovkin, Gleb Strizhenov) I had to fight on different fronts, in different units and ranks. In addition to the infantry (Nikolai Slesarev, Vladislav Strzhelchik, Nikolai Boyarsky), different types artillery (Vasily Korzun, Otar Koberidze, Alexei Lyarsky, Leonid Chubarov, Alexei Mironov, Yuri Nikulin, Anatoly Papanov, Fyodor Nikitin), signal troops (Nikolai Pastukhov, Yuri Ozerov, Grigory Pluzhnik) there were also more exotic military specialties. IN air force served Alexander Vokach, Kirill Lavrov; the military navigator was Vladimir Kashpur, the pilots flying on very dangerous missions were Vladimir Gulyaev and Valentin Zubkov. About the latter, mechanic Valery Chkalova said: This guy will never die. Fought in units navy Nikolai Burenkov and Nikolai Trofimov, the paratrooper was Grigory Chukhrai, Marines- Georgy Yumatov and Mikhail Vasiliev. At first, Vladimir Etush was a military translator, then he served in intelligence, like Mikhail Pugovkin and Alexei Smirnov. Nikolai Dupak and Stanislav Rostotsky fought in the cavalry troops, Nikolai Volkov, Viktor Pavlovsky, Vladimir Zamansky fought in the tank troops, Zinovy Gerdt was a sapper. No less difficult and dangerous was the service in the militia (Fyodor Nikitin) and partisan detachments(Pavel Luspekaev, Innokenty Smoktunovsky) Unfortunately, there were those who experienced all the horrors of captivity and concentration camps, from which they tried to escape. Alexander Afanasiev, Nikolai Eremenko, Nikolai Lebedev managed to survive in the Nazi camps and were released Soviet troops. Front-line paths-roads were also different for all participants in the war: someone fought from the first to last days war, like Boris Bityukov, Gleb Romanov, someone less - a year or two or a few months, there were those who died almost in the first days of the war, like Boris Yasen. Some participants in the war did not receive a scratch or were slightly wounded, others (Zinovy Gerdt, Boris Ivanov, Leonid Gaidai, Sergei Gurzo, Pavel Luspekaev, Zamansky, Yuri Nikulin, Mikhail Pogorzhelsky, Mikhail Pugovkin, Stanislav Rostotsky, Vladimir Etush) received heavy injuries and injuries. Many of them were commissioned for health reasons. The soldiers of the Patriotic War fought with dignity. I think each of them could repeat the words of Vladimir Yakovlevich Samoilov: He didn’t perform any feats, but he didn’t show his back to the enemy ... Almost all participants were awarded orders and medals. Many of them ended the war in Europe, Pavel Kormunin, Alexei Mironov, Nikolai Prokopovich, Pavel Vinnik reached Berlin. And Vladimir Gulyaev took part in the Victory Parade on June 24, 1945 in Moscow. The war was not without girls who served not only in medical units, hospitals and ambulance trains (Elina Bystritskaya, Nadezhda Karataeva, Lydia Shtykan). Sofya Avericheva was a scout, Antonina Maksimova was a radio operator, Elena Sanko was a foreman of artillery. And three future artists held various positions in the air defense forces - meteorologist Zoya Vasilkova, anti-aircraft gunner Ekaterina Verulashvili and political instructor Evgenia Kozyreva. And these are non-professional film actors who starred in films as children, and then died on the fronts of World War II. Gulya Koroleva ( Kashtanka, Ryazan women, Daughter of a partisan), Volodya Konstantinov ( New Gulliver), Valentin Litovsky ( Youth of the poet, Sasha Pushkin), Alyosha Lyarsky ( Gorky's childhood And In people in the role of Alyosha Peshkov), Boris Yasen ( Timur and his team, Mishka Kvakin) It is likely that some of them would have continued their artistic careers. I want to say a special word about this charming actress. This is a living legend, the actress of the Yaroslavl Russian State Academic Drama Theater named after Fyodor Volkov Sofya Petrovna Avericheva, who celebrated her 100th anniversary in September last year! She has a truly amazing biography. Before the war, she worked for two years at the Yaroslavl Drama Theatre. Once a colleague who knew how to guess by her hand said to her: Yes, you have a field of Mars! And that means a military career. As soon as the war began, Sophia entered the people's militia. She was prepared for work in the underground, she improved her daily German. Sophia herself asked to go to the front, and it was in intelligence. She knew how to drive a truck and a motorcycle, spoke German and mastered some types of small arms - a machine gun, an assault rifle. She became a fighter of a separate 225th reconnaissance company in the 234th Yaroslavl communist rifle division formed in the city. At first she was a scout fighter, then a submachine gunner. In repeated operations in capture groups on the front line and in the deep rear of the Germans, where she often went, she showed exceptional courage, courage and endurance. With her division, she went through a combat path from Moscow to the Elbe. She was wounded twice, but remained in the ranks. Has 18 awards, including two medals For courage, orders Battle Red Banner, Red Star. The actress dedicated a book to her fellow soldiers Diary of a Scout, the basis of which was her front-line diary. She returned to the theatrical stage at the end of the war, played more than a hundred roles. Happy holiday! It is clear that I could not cover all the actors and directors who fought, if someone has additions, you are welcome. Because my post is called They fought for their country, then finally, a few frames from the film of the same name based on the story of Sholokhov, in which Sergei Bondarchuk shot several front-line actors: Yuri Nikulin, Nikolai Volkov, Alexei Vanin, himself and Innokenty Smoktunovsky.
