The exhibition presents materials telling about the partisan movement that unfolded on Pskov land from the first days of the occupation.

During the Great Patriotic War, 57 thousand partisans operated behind enemy lines in the Pskov region.

The partisan detachments caused a lot of trouble to the enemy, diverting significant forces of the Nazis, disrupting their communications, destroying manpower and equipment of the invaders, the partisans provided significant assistance to the front.

By the end of July 1944, the partisan struggle in the Pskov region was over. As a result of three years of fierce battles and sabotage, the partisans inflicted enormous damage on the enemy (they destroyed 150 thousand soldiers, 1600 locomotives, 24 thousand carriages, 120 aircraft, and much other military equipment). The country highly appreciated their courage.

The title of Hero (of the Russian Federation, and previously of the Soviet Union) is the highest title awarded for services to the state and people. The Museum of Heroes tells about what feats the highest award is awarded for, where these feats were accomplished, by whom and when.

The Museum of Heroes is a branch of the Borodino Panorama, although it is not connected with this exhibition either by time frame or by methods of displaying exhibits. The creation of the youngest Moscow repository of evidence of heroic deeds and personal belongings of those who distinguished themselves was initiated by veterans' associations. The benefits of such meetings are undoubted for preserving the memory of exploits and the people who performed them. The museum is given a separate building, the façade of which is decorated with metal reliefs of allegorical content.

Inside, the beginning of the exhibition is decorated inventively and solemnly. The army symbol - the red star on the floor seems to increase and is projected onto the ceiling, forming a kind of lamp. The Golden Star mounted on a transparent partition seems to float in the space of the room. The symbols of the highest rank of the Soviet Union and Russia are almost identical.

On the wall are documents on the establishment of honorary titles with images of insignia, distinguished by a ribbon on the block, according to the colors of the state flags. On another wall there is a quote from Suvorov, on the nearest stand there is a colorful image of Alexander Nevsky and an order named after him - one of the highest military awards of both states.

Main stands of the Heroes Museum

By approaching this stand, you can study information about the first recipients. These are seven legendary polar pilots who participated in the unprecedented rescue of the crew of the motor ship Chelyuskin from the icy captivity of the Arctic. Subsequent conferrals of the title of Hero of the Soviet Union are also associated with aviators, these are crew commanders of ultra-long flights, the famous pilots Gromov and Chkalov, members of the Chkalov crew Belyakov and Baidukov.

The first exploits in combat conditions were marked with the stars of Heroes for the defense of the Spanish Republicans, in battles with the Japanese aggressors at Lake Khasan and on the Khalkin-Gol River, in the armed conflict with Finland. Before the great war, more than 600 people were awarded.

It is quite natural that 90% of the Heroes of the Soviet Union received titles for their exploits on the battlefields of the Great Patriotic War. The stars sparkled more than 11 thousand times, unfortunately, over 3 thousand - posthumously. More than a hundred became Heroes twice, the famous fighters of enemy aircraft Pokryshkin and Kozhedub - three times each, and the great commander Zhukov four times.

It should be noted that some who distinguished themselves in the fight against fascist aggressors received awards after the collapse of the USSR, including the title of Hero of Russia. Noted, for example, were the famous submariner Marinesko and the legendary intelligence officer Sorge, who were not awarded USSR stars for various reasons. In total, more than a hundred such awards were given.

After the Great Patriotic War, the most widespread awards with the star of the Hero of the Soviet Union for military merits were made for exploits during the period our troops were in Afghanistan - 85 awards. A separate stand about the heroes of the Afghan company is presented in the Museum of Heroes. For earlier conflicts (North Korea, Hungary, Egypt), 15 people were awarded stars. For polar and deep-sea exploration, testing new types of weapons (mainly aircraft), 250 people became heroes. More than 80 cosmonauts were awarded the title for their space flights.

The colorful image of our greatest military leader and the image of the Order of Suvorov decorate another stand of the Museum of Heroes. The exhibition is dedicated to Russian Heroes who received this title after its establishment in 1992. The number of recipients exceeded a thousand people; slightly less than half were awarded the title posthumously.

Most were awarded for restoring constitutional order in Chechnya and fighting terrorists in the Caucasus and other regions. The rest of those who distinguished themselves are testers of military and special equipment, employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, intelligence officers and others. Those killed in Syria and other regions, the ambassador to Turkey continued the list of those awarded after their death.

A separate exhibition is dedicated to the Heroes who took part in localizing the consequences of the Chernobyl disaster. The Soviet Union named only 6 people worthy of the highest award, four were awarded by Russia.

Such a modest number of recipients, compared with a much larger number of liquidators of the largest disaster in nuclear energy, is explained by the policy of hushing up its scale and consequences. Hundreds of thousands of people who died from radiation exposure during the accident and contamination of a vast area passed away over the decades from the moment of the explosion.

Other exhibits and expositions of the Museum of Heroes

The exhibition dedicated to distinguished employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, mainly fire fighters who relatively recently joined the ministry, looks rather modest. This is quite understandable. Fire is the most dangerous disaster, especially for those who fight them. The illustrations show examples of equipment used by rescuers.

Certificates of honor, service certificates and personal items on the shelves are complemented by the personal uniform of one of the awarded leaders of the rescue unit.

Submariners have always been considered representatives of the most dangerous and important military specialty. Many Heroes of Russia come from their number, rewarding captains and sailors for long voyages, testing new types of weapons and eliminating emergency situations. The photographs show submarines of not the latest modifications due to the secrecy regime of the formidable weapons of the new generation. The everyday uniform of an officer-submariner of a fairly high rank differs little from a sailor's, it is comfortable and practical. It is these qualities that come to the fore on a long-distance underwater voyage.

Situations that require truly heroic actions happen not only on submarines, they also happen on surface ships and boats, in coast guard units and marine units. The glass showcase is dedicated to distinguished sailors; individual and collective photographs of those who distinguished themselves are presented. Here are their personal belongings and ammunition, certificates of honor and state awards. Presented are the ceremonial officer's belt and dagger, and a gas mask, which is mandatory for all personnel of some units.

Glass display cases in one of the corners of the Heroes Museum present very different examples of uniforms. They belong to specific recipients, senior officers of various branches of the military. The parachute tester's jump suit fits like a glove on the dummy, which is necessary when operating a modern device for landing after ejection. The protective helmet is equipped with an on-board intercom connector, which provides communication with ground services and a higher commander.

The jumpsuit of a paratrooper is somewhat more spacious; it should not hinder movement during the period of free fall and gliding with the help of the whole body. A backpack for stowing the landing gear and the parachute itself are presented.

Nearby is part of the uniform of the commander of a tank formation - a leather jacket and a uniform cap, intended rather for staff work. To move inside the tank, officers of any rank have overalls in the traditional black color for tank crews and headsets with intercom connectors required for combat vehicles that provide communication with other armored vehicles.

The Soviet tradition of awarding heroic titles to space flight participants in Russia has been preserved; only the guaranteed star for each flight has disappeared, and information about awards is published less frequently. The training and health requirements for astronauts remain consistently high; in order to meet them, constant flight training is required. Therefore, in the display case there are not only flight suit helmets, but also equipment for aircraft training. Nearby are photographs of officers in various outfits, including pre-flight photographs of the crews. A large portrait of the first cosmonaut is the calling card of the stand’s heroes belonging to a special category – cosmonauts.

The next group of stands are located one after another in the center of the hall. On the first there is an image of the Order of St. George, equated in significance to the Soviet Order of Glory and the Tsar's Order, called as the current one (its full holder - out of 4 degrees was Kutuzov). In the window are photographs of military Heroes of Russia against the backdrop of Caucasian landscapes and military equipment. The inscriptions specify the region where this or that awardee distinguished himself, and personal information is provided. Below are samples of the equipment of a modern soldier, next to it is a display case with typical field uniforms in camouflage colors.

At the next stand you can see a more specific example of ammunition. The GRU special forces soldier's kit is distinguished by the presence of a vest with many pockets used to accommodate bladed weapons and signal equipment. smoke grenades, flashlights, medical supplies and much more.

The personal exhibition of the Hero of Russia - Colonel of the Airborne Forces is quite laconic, except for a portrait with many awards, there are only a few exhibits. This is a holster from the personal pistol of the paratrooper commander and two berets, the traditional blue one of this type of troops and the black one of the Marine Corps. Either the officer managed to serve in both troops, or commanded some joint unit during a joint operation or during an exercise.

Suvorov's saying, which greeted visitors at the entrance to the Museum of Heroes, catches the eye on the way back. The heroes of the museum exhibition fully meet the requirements for role models that the Generalissimo of the Russian Army spoke about.

The younger generation just needs to listen to Suvorov’s advice and not abandon heroic traditions..

Time passes, but we keep the memory of the Great Patriotic War. It doesn’t matter at all what you call it - patriotic education, history lessons or an information hour, but children and youth need to be told about the exploits and glory of their ancestors, about the terrible threat looming over our country, and about the Great Victory, which we have been celebrating for 72 times already.

“And it’s May again...
Gun barrels rattle,
And there are a lot of holiday lights in the sky...
Don't forget on Victory Day, people,
About what happened
what is behind it.” (S. Telkanov)

During the Great Patriotic War, warriors from the Far East covered themselves with unfading glory - riflemen and marines, pilots and tank crews. Nikolaevsk-on-Amur, a port city, a fishing city, sent more than 13,700 of its residents to the front during 4 years of bloody battles. Compatriots - Heroes of the Soviet Union were discussed at the lesson of courage "About those who fought and won...", held on the eve of Victory Day. The listeners, students of the Industrial and Humanitarian College, heard a story about the life, military journey and exploits of the Lower Amur people - Heroes of the Soviet Union. Andrey Stepanovich Alexandrov, Grigory Aleksandrovich Koptilov, Anatoly Alekseevich Leshchev, Vladimir Petrovich Maiborsky, Mikhail Grigorievich Malik, Mikhail Maksimovich Muzykin, Tit Parfenovich Novikov, Ivan Petrovich Orlov, Georgy Evdokimovich Popov, Georgy Arsentievich Skushnikov, Vasily Nikonovich Slastin, Nikolay Ivanovich Stash kov... Their names carved on the memorial sign “Front-line letter” in the city park above the Amur. Two of them were born and raised in Nikolaevsk-on-Amur. This is Grigory Aleksandrovich Koptilov (this year marks the 100th anniversary of his birth) and Mikhail Grigorievich Malik. In memory of them, memorial plaques were installed on the facades of schools No. 2 and No. 4.

The two heroes whose names are on the obelisk, Georgy Evdokimovich Popov and Vladimir Petrovich Maiborsky, repeated the feat of Alexander Matrosov. School No. 5 and a street in our city are named after Popov.

In addition, it was told about heroes whose names are not on the memorial sign, but they lived and worked on the Lower Amur, so we rightfully consider them our fellow countrymen. This is a participant in the war with imperialist Japan, captain Leonid Vladimirovich Smirnykh, in whose honor a street in the city of Aleksandrovsk-Sakhalinsky and two villages on Sakhalin - Smirnykh and Leonidovo - are named, and military sailor Nikolai Nikolaevich Golubkov, who also repeated the feat of Alexander Matrosov, blowing up a Japanese bunker at the cost of own life.

In the park above the Amur there is another monument on which the names of those killed on July 18, 1942 are carved. forty-three sailors from the submarines Shch-118 and Shch-138, which guarded our city and were blown up as a result of an act of sabotage. The eldest of them was 33 years old, and the majority were only 20.

At the end of the meeting with the students, it was emphasized that we, the descendants of soldiers, defenders of the Motherland, are obliged to preserve the sacred memory of the military exploits of veterans and those from the “bloody fields that did not come…”
