Time will pass, but fierce hatred of war will never fade away. They won and remained not to live for the sake of destruction, but in the name of creating a new life. It is such winners that should be glorified on Victory Day. But now each nation has its winners and state television, they are famous for them, though they carry completely different ideas. It remains to hope for ordinary people who will finally cease to be deceived by a wrapper and will help others to realize what kind of filling is offered to them. Happy Victory Day! For those who fought and died for the freedom and happiness of people.
- I am being called into the army. Mom in tears, my father immediately went and ordered me boots. So I had an advantage over the other girls who had to put on the Kirsovs. They gave a week to the fees. Mom dried the crackers ...
My combat path began from the walls of Stalingrad. I got into the battalion of the air warning of the 62nd Army. We had to detect and identify the enemy plane in time, inform the Zenitchiki.
... I remember on August 23, 1942 - the earth, the sky, the Volga burned ... And the bombs all poured and poured ... Pieces of metal, wheels, and empty iron barrels flew above. The city was embraced by a flame. The earth became slippery with blood.
It was scary to look at binoculars, I could not imagine what people felt there in Stalingrad ...
No matter how many years - seventy -five, one hundred, one hundred and fifty, no matter how many events occur, generations have not changed, nothing will cross out from the memory of Stalingrad. His horrors, his pain. And his joy is such a great victory that broke the course of the Great Patriotic War.
Stalingrad in the memoirs of participants in the Battle of Stalingrad:
Alexandra Georgievna Selivanova, private, telephone operator of the anti-aircraft battery, was awarded the Order of the Patriotic War of the II degree, the medal "For the Defense of Stalingrad" and others.

War of 1941-1945 ”, anniversary medals.
It was then the defender for 18 years. The school call only responded.
... But we quickly matured, ”recalls Alexandra Georgievna. - There was such a time. Many girls how I rushed to the front. But first they sent us to prepare in Dubovka. We comprehended military wisdom along with men. There were no concessions on the floor or age. Yes, we did not ask. The discipline was military. Rise on command, construction. And my braid is long, I did not have time to braid. Once I received an outfit out of turn, the second, third ... I had to part with the scythe. They did not grumble that the overcoats dangled on thin girlish figures and the boots were not in size and the corns were filled from this. They sought to finish training rather to go to the front.
Alexandra Georgievna Selivanova is a member of the Great Intermitive War. In 1942, near Stalingrad, her military path began as part of the legendary 62 army. Front roads reached Poland. She was awarded the medal "For the Defense of Stalingrad" (the first combat award), the Order of the Great Patriotic War of the 2nd degree. The 62nd Army (62 A) is the operational association of the Red Army, which took part in the Great Patriotic War. It existed from July 10, 1942 to April 16, 1943. The army was especially distinguished by the heroic defense of Stalingrad.
Alexander Georgievna fell into the anti-aircraft battery of separate air observation of the 62nd Army. Her task, as an observer, was to fix the flying German aircraft. Data - the type of aircraft, at what height it flies, in which direction - transmitted to the telephone operator, and it is already to the front line. They defended the sky over the Volga, Stalingrad. Observation led to binoculars. Soon they already learned to determine whose, which and how many planes fly to Stalingrad by the Truit. It was especially helpful in inclement weather when the visibility was bad.
Their posts were located on the hills, and Stalingrad - below, like in the palm of your hand. We saw the glowing streets, destroyed houses, burning the Volga ... Ah, how a heart is a nickel ... "And we, clutching binoculars in our hands, peered at the sky,” recalls Alexandra Georgievna.
Thanks to these girls, not all enemy aircraft reached Stalingrad.
A difficult task faced a separate air surveillance battalion of the legendary 62nd Army, which defended Stalingrad. Recalls Alexander Georgievna Selivanova. She protected the sky over the Volga.
- I was called up in April 1942 by the Tomosinovsky district military enlistment office of the Surovikinsky district, where I come from. Yesterday's graduate of the school, I dreamed of a career as a teacher, but I had to comprehend military science. Then everyone had a single impulse: to save their native land. They didn’t even think about anything else.
They brought us, the senteners, to Dubovka.
For three months they taught to shoot from a rifle, walk in construction, distinguish domestic equipment from enemy, strictly observe military discipline.
Meanwhile, the enemy approached the city. Fascist pilots daily subjected him to bombing. To intimidate the inhabitants, along with the bombs, the wheels of railway cars, empty barrels of fuel were dumped. All this turned out, roared, rumbled. More and more new enemy forces were pulled to Stalingrad.
Our group was sent for the village of Erzovka.
We changed men at air surveillance posts. The observer, armed with binoculars, occupied the highest point on the ground. His task is to recognize: the enemy or his plane will plow heavenly space. The increase in the binoculars is so powerful that the pilot’s face could be seen. And you know, it was immediately guessed, German or Russian: the Germans had a face of some alien, arrogant. The observation was carried out around the clock. At night, the planes distinguished the sound. The terrible rumble of German aircraft is still in the ears. They continuously bombed and fired at the city and the Volga. The telephone operator located next to the observer transmitted all the information to the anti -aircraft artillery control center: at what rate the plane flies, at what height, etc. Having received the coordinates, anti -aircraft guns, and among them there were also many girls, direct fire fired at the enemy.
When surrounded by Paulus, our detachment was in the Kachalino area.
An order was given: to move west. They reached Belarus on a freight train, and there I had to move on foot, as the Germans destroyed the railway. What is the road, the earth was burned to the ground! The victory was met on the border with Poland, where they served along with the border guards. ..
The medals "For the defense of Stalingrad" and "For the victory over Germany" are the most expensive in the "collection" of the awards of Alexandra Georgievna Selivanova. After the howl, the former front -line soldier returned to her homeland, received the profession of a teacher and taught Russian language and literature. Got married. Life flowed its turn - until the trouble happened - your beloved spouse died tragically. Since 1967, Alexandra Georgievna has been living in Frolovo. She worked as a restraint of the extended day group at school No. 3, then a laboratory assistant in Angu.
"I always want to live!" - admits Alexander Georgievna. The only time tears came to her eyes when, with trembling in her voice during an interview, she read her favorite poems “Barbarism” and “Avengers” by Musa Jalil. The lines taking the soul for her are not an empty phrase. Too much experienced by this simple woman.
Memory of Selivanova Alexandra Georgievna (06/06/1927 - 01/18/2020)
<...> Oh, how many tears, hot and fuel!
My earth, tell me what's wrong with you?
You often saw the woe,
You bloomed for us for millions of years,
But did you experience at least once
Such a shame and barbarism?
My country, enemies threaten you,
But raise the banner of the great truth higher,
Wash his lands with bloody tears,
And let him pierce his rays,
Let them destroy mercilessly
Those barbarians, those savages,
That the blood of children swallow eagerly,
The blood of our mothers ...
