Biography Dyakonov Nikolai

Article 28 of April 28, a forgotten hero of someone else's war to keep the memory of those whose life was laid on the altar of the fight against fascism - our sacred duty. But at the hands of the dictators of the inhuman regime and those who served them, our fellow citizens died not only during the Great Patriotic War. Nikolai Dyakonov. One of the first brave heroes who opposed fascism and sacrificed themselves to this struggle was a native of the city of Kozlov-Michurinsk Nikolai Dyakonov, whose name, unfortunately, is now forgotten.

About what work to restore the facts from the life of Nikolai Alekseevich did those who were not indifferent to the past citizens and will be discussed. The mystery of a broken board about a year ago by the author of these lines, a local resident Natalia Mishkin, who was carried away by the history of her hometown, sent a photo of a house located on a linear street 22 working village and a memorial plaque on it, which was significantly damaged on it.

Here is the incomplete information: “Logic street helped restore only a few fragments:“ The street was named after our fellow countryman Komsomol member, the first thing and Natalia and I suggested the most obvious - the fighter participated in the Great Patriotic War. Sortering all possible options for the name and surname and introducing them into the search query along with the keywords of Michurinsk, we did not find anything specific on the Internet.

Then we decided to try to find out the information of interest to us from the inhabitants of the line of linear. And at the same time, a message was published in one of the groups of social networks dedicated to the history of the city, with a request for help in restoring the name and surname of the war participant. Responsive Michurinians sent the author of these lines a variety of versions with references to the site “Memory of the people”, among which, as it turned out later, there was one only correct one.

But everything is in order. Once on the linear street, we asked the few passers-by about the name and surname on the memorial plaque, about what this street had previously called, but the locals have long forgotten their hero, however, two of them still responded to our interest and introduced their neighbors. Representatives of the older generation, at least, those whom we found at home also did not remember either the previous name of the street or the name of the hero.

But one middle -aged woman, without even straining memory, immediately said that Nikolai Alekseevich Dyakonov was written on the memorial plaque. It seemed to the author of these lines that a miracle had happened. It was thought that the data obtained is enough to return the name of the forgotten hero out of non -being. In search of facts, at first, luck accompanied us, and Natalya Mishkina and I found short information on the Internet about Nikolai Dyanov on the same day.

Nikolai Alekseevich was born in the city of Kozlov in the year, a member of the CPSU B, was drafted into the ranks of the Red Army from a year, after graduating from the Aviation School of pilots he was awarded the title of Lieutenant later - the title of senior lieutenant. The young aircraft served in the Belarusian military district, commanded the link of the fighter aviation squadron of the fighter aviation brigade.

Nicholas ran into the Nazis not at all during the years of World War II, as thought at the beginning of our investigation, but much earlier - in Spain, where he went along with other Soviet volunteers who responded to the Council of Republicans to help them in the fight against the dictatorial regime of Caudillo Francisco Franco. Since June 14, Nikolai Dyakonov has become a member of the national revolutionary war of the people, who gave the world the writer Cervantes, playwright Lope de Vega and the outstanding poet Federico Garcia Lorca, who was shot by the phalangists a year earlier.

The stay in Spain of the Soviet aviator who was born in Michurinsk turned out to be short-lived-not even a month passed, as on July 7, Nikolai Alekseevich, having received fatal wounds, died in an air battle in the area of ​​Cas-de-Kamo, under Madrid. Attacking the Italian Fiat fighter from the Yu Exus Fighter Group, the plane and senior lieutenant Dyakonov was shot down.

By order of October 28, Nikolai Alekseevich was posthumously awarded the Order of the Red Banner. The Soviet ASA was buried in Madrid at the city cemetery. We also found a photograph of the memorial to the Soviet volunteers who died in Spain in the Civil War in the years installed in the Fuarnarral cemetery in Madrid. Among other names on the marble slab, golden letters in Latin is knocked out - Diakonov N.

There is no doubt that Nikolai Alekseevich Dyakonov, a native of the city of Kozlov, is mentioned. It was even possible to find the photographic commercial of the pilot himself, on which he is captured in the helmophone. There is, at least, another picture that recorded Dikonov during the years of his service, but this will be discussed later. The minimum amount of information was assembled, it remained to find out what day Nikolai Alekseevich was born, in which place of Kozlov lived, who his parents were, where he studied, why the street named after him was renamed the linear one.And did she wear the name Dyakonov?

According to the study of the local historian Oleg Sazonov, this city toponymic object arose only at the end of the 10ths, forming in a working village as a result of the construction of two -story apartment buildings of the Michurinsky steam locomotion plant. Perhaps, in honor of Dyakonov, another street was named in general, and the memorial plaque was simply outweighed.

For answers, we went to the Michurinsky Museum of Local Lore to Oleg Valerievich, who, having listened carefully, our story, unfortunately, could not help then then. They did not give positive results and appeals to the city archive and military commissariat. Then Natalia Mishkin and I sent a letter to the researcher of the Civil War in Spain, a hereditary Cossack, retired officer living in the Krasnodar Territory, Nikolai Mrinsky.

In response, he informed us all the information about Dyakonov, which he had. After a short time, we turned to the head of the tourism department of the city of Michurinsk Natalia Innutova. The young, ambitious leader was seized by the idea of ​​solving Dyakonov’s secret to the end. Natalia Yuryevna is constantly in touch with us, informs about the situation. More recently, she received a response to a request from Spain, in which there were no fundamentally new facts, but along with the letter, another photograph of Nikolai Alekseevich came.

Finding answers to the main questions still remains to be. This year, since the birth of Nikolai Alekseevich Dyakonov, it has been years old, and the next year a new anniversary- 85 years since the beginning of the Civil War in Spain, it would be good for these two dates to answer the remaining questions, restore, and it is better even to make a new, with more detailed information, a memorial plaque and install it on a linear street, an updated monument to warriors was opened in Michurinsk Internationalists and participants in local battles.

But Nikolai Alekseevich is a warrior-internationalist, perhaps even the first in our city. And his portrait, of course, should be placed there. An extraordinary hero to understand the uniqueness of the feat and biography of Nikolai Alekseevich, just turn to statistics. In total, the Soviet aviator participated in the air battles in Spain. Thirty -six of them were awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union, some posthumously.

Most of the pilots who returned from Spanish became generals - 22 out of 28 people. As the heroes of the Aviators who have passed the school of air battles, they enjoyed great authority in the ranks of the Red Army, especially during the Great Patriotic War, when the experience they gained could not be overestimated. But such popularity for many was deadly and, first of all, not in battles - seven of them, that is, every third, were repressed shortly after returning from Spain.

Who knows how the fate of Nikolai Dyakonov would have developed, come out alive from that bloody massacre to guess on the coffee grounds it is pointless, and the story itself does not tolerate the subjunctive mood. But one thing is clear - the fate of the fearless native of our city would be extraordinary, like many volunteers who returned from Spain. But despite the short life, the biography of our fellow countryman, the fearless aviator, already turned out to be outstanding.

One of the few warriors-internationalists of those years died, heroically fighting in a battle with the Nazis; In honor of him, a street was named in his hometown, then, perhaps, it was renamed, and his name gradually began to be forgotten, but the names of real heroes were not forgotten! We believe that the memory of Nikolai Dyakonov, like a bird of Phoenix, will be revived from the ashes of oblivion, and in our city it will be immortalized again.
