Biography of Paul Zibert

When the biography of the intelligence officer Nikolai Kuznetsov is cut off nearby. Legendary scouts - 2 "Nikolai Kuznetsov was a real intelligence genius. There will be no second one. The title of the hero was assigned to him posthumously in November. No less, but perhaps even more valuable strategic information he has obtained.

From the thickets of the Rivne forests, Kuznetsov was the first of the Soviet intelligence to announced the preparation of attempts on a “big three” - Stalin, Roosevelt, Churchill. I handed over to the center of Hitler’s bets in the Werewolf in the Vinnitsa area. But so far many pages of his biography are classified. Once I read: Kuznetsov’s business is Tomov!

If! But grains of worthy truth over the years are still opening. And before us is a new Kuznetsov, and his heroism sometimes acquires a tragic shade. Many disputes are being conducted when Kuznetsov was involved in work in intelligence. Perhaps this happened already in M, when he was expelled from the Komsomol, they did not allow the technical school to finish. They accused of “hiding of kulak origin”, then adding the White Guard.

All this is a lie! Kuznetsov’s father was a typical middle peasant, in the army really served, but in Red, near Tukhachevsky. And suddenly, after such accusations, Kuznetsov was restored both in the technical school and in Komsomol. It can be assumed that the Chekists noticed a smart guy. And he agreed to cooperate. And not because he was chopped - he was one of those who were called ideological.

On the advice of new friends, Kuznetsov went to the wilderness. In the forests-drowning in the forests of the Komi-Permyatsky district, the young appraiser exposed their bosses engaged in postscripts in the field of forest arrangement. Gratitude: repeated - already forever - an exception from the Komsomol, a year of correctional labor with deductions from a meager salary. Since June 10, Nicholas by this time he was able to change his name, he did not like the name of Nikanor since childhood of Kuznetsov - a special agent of the district department of the OGPU, the operational pseudonym "Kulik".

In M in Sverdlovsk, he became a “scientist”, in m - “colonist”. The characteristic noted: “Nacked and smart. It has a good memory. " In the prewar years in Moscow, he was actually in an illegal position, impersoning the aircraft engineer of German origin Rudolf Schmidt. Although in G. what did you take? He failed to complete the task. He brought himself up and bosses. It was not accepted to intercede for those arrested during the Blood Terror.

Nevertheless, several Chekists swore with their heads that Kuznetsov was not a traitor, not a spy, but an honest small one, who, in his youth and inexperience, made a mistake. They asked to revise the matter. Oddly enough, revised. And freed. After all, Kuznetsov did not fulfill the task - to commit an act of retaliation over the Gauleiter of Ukraine Erich Koch. Although on May 31 G.

Before the Koch sitting at the table is a couple of bodyguards. Another - right behind Paul Zibert - Kuznetsov. On the carpet, between Koch and Kuznetsov, two black dogs. All bodyguards followed Kuznetsov's hands. The scout could not reach his pocket, remove the gun and shoot. Upon returning to the detachment, he was immediately arrested by the personal order of Medvedev.

Death wandered somewhere nearby. The commander was indignant: cowardice! Then, a little bit, he sent a detailed radiogram to the center, direct chief Pavel Sudoplatov. Kobulov answered quickly: “To shoot. Your Kuznetsov drinks vodka with girls, showed himself a traitor and a traitor. ” He suggested that everything calmly figure it out. He needed Kuznetsov. Pavel Anatolyevich did not have a better scout.

So the second time the legendary blacksmiths were saved from death. Too bright but why such persecution is? He was too fierce, beautiful with the courageous Slavic beauty. And brilliantly susceptible to languages. And Nikolai adopted the gross Jargon Soldier's Soldier from the time of the First World War II, who remained in the hinterland since the First World War, Franz Fransevich Javurek, a labor teacher.

In Sverdlovsk, the Cheka allowed him to the Germans who worked in Uralmash. Could everyone like that the young man speaks in six German dialects, Ukrainian, Polish, Esperanto, and even on the move of the mastered Komi-Permyatsky? He stood out from the crowd deliberately chic costumes. He drove acquaintances with foreigners, recruiting and stretching secrets.

Seduced women. Before throwing Medvedev, he was already under the guise of German officer Paul Zibert to gain experience in a prisoner of war camp near Krasnogorsk. Kuznetsov and then nominated literally on the first roles: he played the main role in the play, which was put by the prisoners of Fritz. His German pronunciation ally in the camp recognized the pure and classic.

Whoever betrayed the hero of Kuznetsov was killed by Bandera on the night of March 8-9 in December, in December, it was believed to present awards. Holded confidently. In a conversation with the commander of the detachment, discarding the conspiracy, he introduced himself as a real name: Vasily Andreevich Begma, the former first secretary of the Rivne regional committee of the party, and now the head of the underground regional committee, general.

Please note: the acquaintance took place at the end of the th.Before that, no one assumed that a person who committed terrorist acts in the city may be a partisan. Neither Medvedev nor the oversight of Lukin could assume that the high party leader sitting opposite them could be unreliable. However, soon a verbal portrait of a German officer, who was very similar to Lieutenant Zibert, appeared in Rivne.

And a real hunt began. Nikolai Vladimirovich Strutinsky, a friend and ally of the scout, suspected that Kuznetsov had issued their own to the Germans. Suspicion fell on the leaders of the city underground and people close to them. After the war, the Prosecutor General’s Office of the USSR was seriously engaged in the analysis of the statement of a group of partisans, led by Nikolai Strutinsky about the betrayal of the Begma and Novak, his friend, the Partfunciation with a lower rank.

The investigation indirectly, but still unequivocally confirmed: yes, Nikolai Ivanovich issued their own. The traitor is Novak, and Begma in every possible way covered his friend. But how could the investigation results be released at that time? Western Ukraine, Lviv region, smoothly - nationalism and then bloomed there with its sworn yellow color. And thanks to the efforts of many of my voluntary assistants in the process of preparing a book about the intelligence officer, it was possible to establish: Novak is a traitor, and all suspicions regarding Begs have the most serious reason.

Kuznetsov was the intelligence genius. Usually brilliant people are revered by their descendants. Companions, contemporaries do not always love and do not understand why this is all successful, but we do not. Because ... Author: Nikolai Dolgopolov.
