Creating the Komsomol organizations at groups, rooms of commissioners were at the same time picked up for Komsomol in all guerrilla groups for September 1, 1943...

With arrival on the territory of the Brest Region in May, 1943 an initial task was the question of the accounting of Komsomol members and creation of the Komsomol organizations at ten groups which were located in districts of the Brest Region, at the same time to direct them to the organization and increase of fighting affairs in fight against the enemy. It should be noted that in the available ten guerrilla groups for May, 1943 the Komsomol organizations in two groups were created: in group of Shchors and in Soviet Belarus group, in other eight groups and groups of the Komsomol organizations was not and Komsomol work any it was not conducted in spite of the fact that in them there were remarkable Komsomol members. In May the Komsomol organizations at all available guerrilla groups of area are created...

Following instructions of the Central Committee of KP(b)B on creation of guerrilla groups in each area on the occupied enemy of the territory authorized by the Central Committee of KP(b)B and a staff of the guerrilla movement about the Brest Region by Sergey was carried out an otpochkovaniye: from group of Shchors — 3 groups, from Soviet Belarus group — 1 group, from group of Chkalov — 1 group. When determining the best Komsomol members from groups were selected and sent to these groups, the Komsomol organizations are created in them. Having gone to areas where there were no guerrilla groups, the Komsomol organizations gave big help to command of these groups in growth them and practical fight against the enemy. On the basis of these groups young guerrilla groups grew and got stronger in fights with the enemy: of Suvorov, to them. Kotovsk, of Budenny, of Pozharsky, of Frunze, of Zhukov, of Kalinin.

All small independent guerrilla groups which were in districts of the Brest Region are attached to guerrilla groups. From separate groups independent guerrilla groups, in Kobrin district — group of Chapayev were created, in Antopolskom and Berezovsky areas groups of vol. of Poplavsky, Novikov and Slavnov with a task to grow up guerrilla groups on their base are left.

In May — June by means of party heads Komsomol meetings in all guerrilla groups of area with questions were held: 1. creation of the Komsomol organization at group; 2. analysis put about belonging to Komsomol of the companions who destroyed Komsomol tickets; 3. distribution of Komsomol instructions; 4. a task of the Komsomol organizations of guerrilla groups in the back of the enemy according to the solution V of plenum of the Central Committee of KP(b)B.

After carrying out Komsomol meetings work of the Komsomol organizations was based according to plan, was generally directed to strengthening of discipline, a raising of moral and political spirit of guerrillas and guerrillas and strengthening of daily organized fight against the enemy. Room of commissioners of groups on Komsomol of group of Molotov comrade Kaspirovich, group to them. Kotovsk comrade. Queens, group of Kirov of comrade. Jackets and others skillfully organized the work. Komsomol members of their organizations set a personal example in fights with the enemy.

The best examples shown in fight against the enemy by Komsomol members for the purpose of promoting of experiment on fight against the enemy are discussed at Komsomol meetings... It they gave big help to command of group in adjustment of model military discipline in groups. Not bad organized work of the Komsomol organizations of room of commissioners on Komsomol of groups: of Dimitrov, of Suvorov and of Frunze. Honestly carry out the main objective — fight against the enemy. But being at war, pay attention to political-education work among Komsomol members and youth thanks to what the organization of group of Dimitrov grew in two months by 14 people at the expense of the best young guerrillas; the organization of group of Suvorov grew by 13 people at the expense of the young guerrillas who proved in fight against the enemy.

For June, July and August the otryadny Komsomol organizations of area grew by 243 people, from them — 42 people again admitted to Komsomol and 201 people who came to guerrilla groups from local youth and prisoners of war. Total the Komsomol organization of area totals 646 Komsomol members for September 1, 1943...

For carrying out political and mass work in groups and among the population of the areas controlled by guerrilla groups are created in 16 groups of group of propagandists from among politically correct Komsomol members. Total number of propagandists in 16 agitgruppa — 192 people, all of them are distributed on certain sites. Secretaries of district committees of Komsomol direct these agitgruppa of room of commissioners on Komsomol also. The commissioner of a guerrilla staff of the Brest Region and party heads carried out individual instructing with heads agitgroup on their work. Heads agitgroup instruct on work with the propagandists...

In July, having received a signal of plans of the German political leaders at a general commissariat of Belarus on creation in Belarus of the fascist youth organization ("SBM"), all Komsomol organizations of guerrilla groups and the underground organizations were immediately warned. Among youth of the areas controlled by guerrilla groups the corresponding work is carried out. To areas where there are no partizaneky groups, the leaflets exposing plans of new Hitlerite provocation are sent. While there are no signals of creation of the SBM organization, leaflets of Hitlerite promotion to youth any did not meet, except for an appeal to youth about departure for work to Germany (it is published in mountains. Brest gebitskomissary).

It should be noted that the separate Komsomol organizations of groups of Chernak, of Chapayev, of Pozharsky are engaged in political mass and educational work in group insufficiently and among rural youth, are engaged on ideological and political and moral education of Komsomol members and youth a little...

We did not organize the differentiated work with various layers of youth yet, did not think over work methods among the Polish, religious youth, and also petty-bourgeois layers of youth, etc.

In the area the regional newspaper "Zarya" in Russian, 8 numbers a month on 250 — 300 copies in one release is issued. The leaflets exposing false Hitlerite promotion are issued, reports of Sovinformburo are printed. Printing houses there are two, one brought by us, second acquired on the place which in the majority the anti-fascist committee uses (lets out leaflets and reports of Sovinformburo)...

In all guerrilla groups in May and June editorial boards are chosen. In separate groups not bad they organized release of the wall newspaper and fighting leaves. So, in group of Dimitrov in two months 6 issues of the otryadny newspaper "Za Rodinu" are issued. In group of Kirov — 7 numbers "Voices of Guerrillas", in group to them. Kotovsk, of Budenny, of Kalinin the editorial board also not bad works.

In many groups there are radio receivers and typewriters. In these groups reports of Sovinformburo systematically are accepted, print, write them by hand and through intelligence agents, coherent of settlements, and from the cities, villages where there are garrisons of the opponent, through the underground Komsomol organizations are systematically transferred for the population.

To the certain cities and places where there are garrisons of the opponent, it is heavy to transfer our newspapers and reports, however various forms and in the ways our Komsomol members and propagandists transfer...

In total Komsomol organizations to areas 124, the number of Komsomol members in them — 464 people, 75 Komsomol members work one by one. Singles work in mountains. Brest and in those areas where LKSMB district committees are not created.

... The Komsomol organizations of Antopolsky district of the village of M.4 and Ruble 5 organized the help the youth to diversionary group of group to them. Kotovsk in dismantling. - of a cloth, 48 people of youth participated, sorted and blew up 86 rails... The Komsomol organizations of this area prepared and removed in guerrillas 49 people of youth, carry widely out political and mass work among youth therefore in 1943 they did not give to the German of any guy and the girl for work to Germany, also not a distance gram of bread from a harvest of 1943.

... Komsomol organizations of Kobrin district... destroyed cable telecommunication, 8 thousand m.

... It is possible to give numerous examples of work of the underground Komsomol organizations, and, above all — the fact that the underground Komsomol organizations of groups in many districts of the area did not give in 1943 youth on slavery to Germany and bread to Germans.

In 6 areas loner Komsomol members work, for the present could not create the Komsomol organization there, but these singles carry out political and mass work among youth, distribute reports, leaflets and conduct work on creation of the underground organization. The Komsomol underground organizations prepared big guerrilla reserves from youth which are ready to take up arms. But as we cannot provide with the weapon at the expense of the enemy of all, they give every possible help to guerrillas.

Pinsk, Pinsky, Zhabchitsky, Ivanovo, Drogichinsky, Kamen-Kashirsky, partially Lyubeshovsky districts, and also to the organization of the Brest connection partially Antopolsky and Kobrin districts...

As a result of the carried-out work achieved strengthening of discipline among communists and Komsomol members, achieved that the crew performed a number of successful operations. So, from April 20 to October 15, 1943 the crew derailed 64 echelons... 80 engines are damaged... 8930 m are destroyed. - of a cloth. All crew under command of the brigade commander Gerasimov broke the regional center of the Volynsk Region Lyubeshov; the round-up of nationalists who were beaten out from 15 settlements is carried out, the narrow-gage railroad and telephone and telegraphic communication between mountains is put out of action. Ivanovo and Lyubeshov throughout 45 km, is destroyed and spread out 6 police posterunok, a number of the plants working for Germans, etc. is destroyed.

Achieved that in the majority communists are front lines in fighting work of groups, an example for fighters. So, Bukrab's communist with group of fighters rushed into the room of a police station in Zakozelye and fire from the automatic machine killed all asset, having taken at the same time a machine gun and other arms. Seized a site without loss... Comrade. Balls orders diversionary group. Its group derailed since April, (1943) 18 echelons. From crew 190 communists and Komsomol members are recommended for government awards. Communist commanders of vol. Bondarenko, Shubitidze, Istomin, Samarkin are the best commanders of crew. In total 69 communists work at command positions. Communists take active part in arms of groups. So, under the leadership of comrade Bondarenko 4 machine guns, 28 rifles, 21 grenades, 2270 cartridges, 7 guns were brought to group. Including the candidate of party comrade Glinsky delivered 2 machine guns, 2500 cartridges, 7 rifles, coherent — the candidate of party Strabko Ivan Petrovich delivered 2 machine guns, 3 rifles, 1 revolver. Party member of comrade. 3 machine guns, etc. are delivered Gorbachev.

The propagandists allocated with the party and Komsomol organizations lead discussions with fighters on all offices and platoons. Daily reports about situation on fronts become engrossed in reading. A number of reports and conversations on subjects is carried out: "World situation", "A domestic situation of the USSR", "About the fortress of the Soviet hinterland", "Orders of comrade Stalin", "About increase of discipline", "About the relation to the population", "Solutions V of plenum of the Central Committee of KP(b)B", "About the Ukrainian nationalists", "About the relation to the Polish population", the book of comrade Stalin "About the Great Patriotic War of the Soviet Union" is studied, the letter of Belarusians to soldiers of Red Army, etc. is widely developed.

In group amateur performances of fighters were not bad put. 12 statements of amateur performances were made, systematic release of fighting leaves and wall newspapers in groups is adjusted. Meetings with command and political structure, party organizers and Komsomol organizers are held on improvement of political and mass work in groups and with the population...

As a result of all carried-out work misconduct among fighters sharply decreased, all guerrilla groups so grew that according to the decision of Ivanovskoye RK KP (b) B of July 30, 1943 and a staff of crew made disaggregation of groups: from group of Suvorov the group of Ordzhonikidze, from group of Lazo — group of Stalin, from group of Shish — group of Kalinin is allocated. On June 28, 1943 the new guerrilla group of Nemytov was organized, the group of Chapayev was created on July 10, the new Polish group of Kosciusko is organized on August 1. Thus, the following groups were a part of crew of Molotov: of the Manhole, of Suvorov, of Shish, of Kalinin, of Kutuzov, of Ordzhonikidze, of Nemytov, of Kosciusko. By August 30, 1943 the crew contained 1335 persons.

The crew carried out big political and mass work with the population therefore 73 villages are completely developed by guerrillas. In many villages the people elected representatives of the Soviet power. There will be a year as Germans in this territory soon" never were. In these villages discussions and reports with the population are regularly led. About 25 departures to settlements with statements of amateur performances of guerrillas, and also a number of departures with installations of the radio receiver in villages for hearing of the Soviet transfers were made. All doctors of crew regularly did departures to settlements. Only for the third quarter doctors of crew served 1133 people of the civilian population. All this created among the population huge authority to crew and in general the guerrilla movement.

Very much attention is paid to work in the villages which are closer to the German garrisons and in settlements where there are German garrisons. Political workers of crew get there illegally, and carry out all work through coherent and the asset organized there. The crew throws the main propaganda material in these villages and settlements.

Before acquisition of printing house, i.e. till July 5, all material (daily reports, leaflets, addresses) was printed on typewriters and dispatched. Such material only since May on

August 22 590 copies, besides, of ready newspapers and leaflets of 850 copies in the Russian, Belarusian and Polish languages were printed and widespread.

A lot of literature in Polish is printed and widespread, Wanda Vasilevskaya and Andrey Marek's articles from the Volna Polska newspaper, materials of congress of the union of the Polish patriots are widespread, wrote and translated addresses and leaflets to Poles into Polish. In total it is written articles and leaflets in Polish of 965 pieces. In all Polish settlements discussions and reports on subjects on world situation are led, about what has to be Poland, about severance of diplomatic relations with Sikorsky's government, about activity of the Polish guerrillas, etc. The organization of guerrilla Polish group of Kosciusko and the fact that the Polish population on our party and helps us much is result of the carried-out work. Guerrillas received several thousands of cartridges, 5 machine guns of "Maxims", over 30 rifles from the Polish population.

The crew should conduct big fight against the Ukrainian nationalists, mainly with Banderovites who have influence on a number of villages of the Volynsk Region, and also try to get also on the territory of the Pinsky Region. Their influence is shown in the following villages and places of the Pinsky Region: Dry, Ivanovo, Snitovo, New and Old Strelnya. In this regard in a number of villages discussions and reports on a subject who such Ukrainian nationalists, is written a number of addresses to the population with an explanation of essence of nationalism were led... On propaganda work especially a lot of work was carried out by the promotion instructor Mikushko (Vishnevskaya) who carried out personally over 90 conversations with fighters and the population and who prepared production of all propaganda material, Antonov is an editor of the regional newspaper who carried personally out about 70 conversations and reports among fighters and the population. Well the commissioner of group of Kalinin of comrade Milyushin put political and mass work.

From propagandists it is necessary to mark out the Komsomol member comrade Dainieko who extended a large amount of propaganda material in enemy garrisons and delivered a lot of paper, the candidate of party of comrade Katusov and a row other. It is necessary to mark out the typist — the member of the Komsomol Tarasenko Anna who in 3 months printed on the machine over 17 thousand copies of reports, leaflets and addresses, the typist — the candidate of party Timoshuk Ekaterina who during the winter printed on the machine more than 22 thousand copies, etc. Big help in all political and mass work is given by Komsomol members who often are the first distributors of propaganda literature and besedchik.
