In fight conducted their youth

At defense of the Brest fortress in June-July, 1941 died the lieutenant Alexey Naganov, the foreman Vyacheslav Meer, the sergeant-frontier guard Petrinchik, the pupil of a musical platoon Pyotr Vasilyev, Ekaterina Tarasyuk and her husband is a lieutenant - Tarasyuk and many other defenders of fortress. The street is called by the name of Alexey Naganov in Brest and on it the monument is established.

The wife of the commander is the member of the Komsomol Katya Tarasyuk - was a rural teacher. Before the war arrived to the husband to fortress to spend with him the holidays. But it was prevented by the begun war. In its first hours the lieutenant Tarasyuk with group of the fighters protected one of fortress sites. When its group suffered losses in fight, he laid down for a machine gun and reflected attacks of the German submachine gunners. All earth was a vzryta explosions of shells and min. around. Weigh covered with wounds, Tarasyuk continued to shoot until the enemy bullet struck it. Having learned about death of the husband, Ekaterina Tarasyuk got out of the cellar (where waited shelling with other women and children) and crept up to a machine gun about which her died husband and one of fighters lay. She laid down for a machine gun and continued to beat off attacks of Germans until she was killed by a splinter of an enemy shell. So in the first day of war this Komsomol family died.

When performing a fighting task in April, 1944 the radio operator intelligence agent of the 1st Belarusian front, the member of the Komsomol, the sergeant Lidiya Andreevna Bazanova died in Brest. For intelligence activities in Brest from December, 1943 to April, 1944 it was awarded the order Patriotic war, but did not manage to receive an award. The award was handed on eternal storage of her mother in 1966 in the city of Kalinin (nowadays Tver) on a meeting of fighting friends of Lida Bazanova. In Brest the street is called a name of L. A. Bazanova.

On the house No. 17 down the street of Karl Liebknecht (on Grayevka) the memorial board with the text is established: "Here from December, 1943 to April 1944.goda in the house of the Soviet patriot Grigoruk S. S. the brave intelligence agent Bazanova Lidiya Andreevna ("Swallow") worked. Grigoruk Spiridon Sergeyevich is tortured by Hitlerites in April, 1944, his wife Nadezhda Vasilyevna and the daughter Nina are shot by fascists".

Streets in Tver, in the settlement of Redkino of Konakovsky district of the Tver region are called a name of L. A. Bazanova.

In February, 1945 the native of the village of Rataychitsa of the Brest district, the Komsomol member Sergey Virko who repeated Alexander Matrosov's feat caused a stir in fights in East Prussia. The battalion in which the sergeant Virko served received a task to seize a site of the highway, approach to which fascists blocked machine-gun fire from the cellar of an ancient castle. Virko crept up to the lock and when grenades could not destroy a machine gun, closed an embrasure the breast. Posthumously he was awarded the order Patriotic war of the I degree.

In the Drogichinsky Region of Brest region the 20-year-old Komsomol member, the lieutenant Evgeny Makarevich, the native of the village of Homsk was an initiator of creation of guerrilla group. He ordered this group more than two years. Evgeny Georgiyevich Makarevich was killed in battle. His name was appropriated to group. In detail about E. G. Makarevich it is possible to read in S. Arzumanyan's book "The earth flared", in the head "There was Zhenka the commander".

In guerrilla group B. Z. A cake layer, created in Pinsk in June, 1941, Ivan Chuklay, pinchanin was the secretary of the Komsomol organization. Already on June 28, 1941 a linking of grenades on the highway Pinsk - Logishin lined with Chuklay together with the commander of office Solokhin the tank and, having jumped on it, captivated two tankmen, took a tank machine gun and a handheld transceiver. Many Ivan had other fighting feats on the account. It is brave the guerrilla died in August, 1942. Posthumously the Komsomol member Chuklay is awarded by the Order of Lenin. Memory of it is immortalized in Pinsk.

The 16-year-old guerrilla, the Komsomol member Nikolay Goyshik is a demolition man from crew of a name F. E. Dzerzhinsky, undermined itself together with the military echelon of Germans following to the front. The engine and 10 cars rolled down under a slope. 15 hours Hitlerites cleared away a way, taking from under fragments of cars of the killed and wounded soldiers. Posthumously Nikolay Goyshik is awarded the order Patriotic war of the I degree. The award was stored it by mother in Kolya Goyshik's house museum in Ivatsevichakh. On the place of death of the hero the monument is established.

Nikolay Goyshik's feat was repeated by the guerrilla of group of Kalinin of the same guerrilla crew pioneer Sasha Vasilevsky who died when blasting an enemy echelon on a site Brest - Baranovichi.

The young guerrilla Ivan Lipsky from group of S. Lazo acting in Pinshchina before fight submitted the application with a request to admit it to ranks of All-Union Leninist Young Communist League. He was killed in battle. His application was considered. In the protocol of meeting of Komsomol members of group it is written down: "Listened to the statement of the dead in fight against enemies of the socialist Homeland Lipsky. Decided: Lipsky Ivan Emelyanovich in view of the fact that he went to fight the Komsomol member, to consider as the member of All-Union Leninist Young Communist League from the moment of submission of the statement by it, i.e. since October 6, 1943".

In the ranks of the Brest anti-fascist party and Komsomol underground struggled with the enemy and Galina Arzhanova, Vera Kravtsova, Antonina Kasatkina, Dima Krasovsky, Nina Grigoruk, Nikolay Kirilyuk, Boris Anoshkin, Vera of Gorbachev, Boris Pikus and other Komsomol members died; Patriotic war of the I degree Galina Arzhanova was awarded posthumously the order. The street in Brest is called by her name. The street in her hometown of Rtishchevo of the Saratov region is called by the name of Vera Gorbacheva. Vera Kravtsova was posthumously awarded by the medal "For Courage".

In Kobrinskom of the area the secretary of the underground Komsomol organization of the village Turnaya Vladimir Yukhimuk and the member of this organization Evgeny Marchuk died in fight against the German invaders. They were noticed by Germans while put explosive on the highway Brest - Moscow in eight kilometers from Kobrin. Children accepted battle and died. Members of this underground organization totaling 18 people differed in special impudence in fight against invaders: on the highway at the village Lutsevichi blew up the bridge three times, repeatedly broke cable telecommunication of Germans in different places, mined the highway, made ambushes on Germans.

Told about all this in the book "Youth in Fights Reached Manhood" of F.D. Romm, the former secretary of the Brest underground regional committee of Komsomol.

In Kobrin the martyrdom from the enemy was accepted by the Komsomol member Pavel Getman. It worked in the German garage. On the instructions of guerrillas Pavel enclosed a mine in a trunk of the car of a gebitskomissar of Kobrin. But explosion was low power, and the enemy survived. Gestapo men seized Pavel Getman when he was going to run to guerrillas. He was cruelly tortured. Without having achieved any recognitions from the Komsomol member, Hitlerites in a prison-yard lowered on it nekormlenny sheep-dogs. In Maloritsky district Hitlerites shot the leader of youth Velikorita Olya Abramuk.

In Berezovsky the area members of the underground organization of the village Bluden (nowadays May Day) Komsomol members Vasily Borushko and Nikolay Hvedchenya died in fight against the enemy. S. Rutich in the book "Forever Young" in detail told about activity of this underground organization. In Pruzhanshchina Ivan Susanin's feat was repeated by young Tikhon Barend.
