On June 22, 1941, the war began, which would later be called the Great Patriotic War. It will last 1,418 days and kill tens of millions of people.

What is more valuable to any nation? Any mother? War in cruel blindness unites the incompatible: children and death. How suddenly the war burst into their childhood and youth.

I want to introduce you to the book “The Tale of Zoya and Shura.” The author of this wonderful book is L.T. Kosmodemyanskaya. The book was published in 1949, translated into many languages.

Lyubov Timofeevna Kosmodemyanskaya was born in the village of Chernavka, Kirsanovsky district, Tambov province, and soon, together with her parents, moved to the village of Osinovye Gai. There she studied at the zemstvo school, and then at the women's gymnasium in the city of Kirsanov. Education over time allowed Lyubov Timofeevna to become a teacher herself; she worked in an elementary school in the village of Solovyanka and in Osinovye Gai. There, in the homeland of her father and mother, in 1922 Lyuba met Anatoly Petrovich Kosmodemyansky. On September 13, 1923, the couple had a daughter. Zoya, and July 27, 1925 - son Alexander.

Lyubov Timofeevna She devoted herself entirely to children and work at school. She raised her children in a patriotic spirit, and when the Great Patriotic War began, both went to the labor front.

This seemed not enough to 18-year-old Zoya, and she persistently asked the military registration and enlistment office to be enrolled in a reconnaissance and sabotage unit. The Germans were approaching Moscow, and the fragile girl, who was ill, went with a group of saboteurs into the frosty November forest. The end of autumn 1941 was unusually cold, the fighters of the sabotage group spent the night in the snow, and their main task was to use any means to prevent the Nazis from approaching the capital. Zoya received an order to enter the village of Petrishchevo and burn down the houses in which the Germans lived. On November 28, 1941, her way of the cross began...

The names of heroes are immortal, people honor their memory by naming streets and schools after them, dedicating poems to them, and making films.

Stills from the film “Zoya”

She's eighteen: slim and modest

Tenth grade completed

Afraid of mice. Alone at night

Sometimes he won't leave the house.

Knot of thoughts, untie!..

I will not open America at all,

Let me remind you that the name Zoya

Translated it means “Life”.

Defend your native government while walking

In a terrible time of trial,

You are in the partisan detachment Tanya

It was no coincidence, apparently, that she gave her name.

We walked through the snowdrifts barefoot,

Burnt out, tortured with fire,

They mocked, swaggered, beat

With your forged boot.

And the young lips froze...

The tight twist has dragged on...

Tremble, evil tormentors,

Before her vengeful shadow!

Raisa Usenko

People rush to bow to you on holiday,

With the hope that there will be no war,

And you have a modest and discreet beauty

It remained in the stone like a slender birch tree.

The breeze no longer flutters the scarf,

You don't feel any cold. no pain

Laughing, she loved to play pranks, she sang loudly,

And suddenly she became petrified among the villagers.

A girl's figure is made of stone, there is a lump in her heart,

I walked barefoot through the snow for the truth,

And flowers are scattered at your feet,

You will forever inhale their aroma.

After reading this book, you can find yourself in wartime, a time of loss and bitterness.

Realizing what these 16-18 year old children were capable of does makes you think about yourself too: would I be capable of the same feat in a similar situation...

Zoya! Zoya! The noose has no power over life - you live! In memory - eternal, like this Earth, you live. You live in the moist eyes of grown-up children. You live in every breath of people, in every step of people. You live on an airplane in the swinging blue. An old resident - in Chelny, a new resident - you live in Moscow. You live in the causeless laughter of happy friends. And in the hands hugging the solar circle, you live! You live in the blazing fireworks and the Eternal Flame. You live in yesterday, today, tomorrow! You live in musical notes, in granite, on a sensitive canvas. You live in the glory of our Fatherland and in our dream! R. Rozhdestvensky.

Zoya Anatolyevna Kosmodemyanskaya was born on September 13, 1923 in the village of Osino-Gai, Gavrilovsky district, Tambov region, into a family of teachers. At school, Zoya studied well, was especially interested in history and literature, and dreamed of entering the Literary Institute. In October 1938, Zoya joined the ranks of the Lenin Komsomol. However, relations with classmates did not always develop in the best way - in 1938 she was elected as a Komsomol group organizer, but then was not re-elected. As a result, Zoya developed a “nervous disease.” In 1940, she suffered from acute meningitis, after which she underwent rehabilitation (in the winter of 1940) in a sanatorium for nervous diseases in Sokolniki, where she became friends with the writer Arkady Gaidar, who was also lying there. In the same year, she graduated from the 9th grade of secondary school No. 201, despite a large number of missed classes due to illness.

On October 31, 1941, Zoya, among 2,000 Komsomol volunteers, came to the gathering place at the Colosseum cinema and from there was taken to the sabotage school, becoming a fighter in the reconnaissance and sabotage unit, officially called the “partisan unit 9903 of the headquarters of the Western Front.” After a short training, Zoya as part of the group was transferred to the Volokolamsk area on November 4, where the group successfully completed the task (mining a road). On November 17, the Supreme High Command Order No. 428 was issued, ordering to deprive the “German army of the opportunity to be located in villages and cities, drive the German invaders out of all populated areas into the cold fields, smoke them out of all premises and warm shelters and force them to freeze in the open air,” with which the goal is “to destroy and burn to the ground all populated areas in the rear of German troops at a distance of 40-60 km in depth from the front line and 20-30 km to the right and left of the roads.” In pursuance of this order, on November 18 (according to other sources - 20) the commanders of sabotage groups of unit No. 9903 P. S. Provorov (Zoya was included in his group) and B. S. Krainov were ordered to burn 10 settlements within 5-7 days , including the village of Petrishchevo (Vereysky district) (now Ruzsky district of the Moscow region). Having gone out on a mission together, both groups (10 people each) came under fire near the village of Golovkovo (10 km from Petrishchevo), suffered heavy losses and were partially scattered; their remnants united under the command of Boris Krainov. On November 27 at 2 a.m., Boris Krainov, Vasily Klubkov and Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya set fire to three houses in Petrishchevo (residents of Karelova, Solntsev and Smirnov); At the same time, the Germans lost 20 horses. What is known about the future is that Krainov did not wait for Zoya and Klubkov at the agreed upon meeting place and left, safely returning to his own people; Klubkov was captured by the Germans; Zoya, having missed her comrades and being left alone, decided to return to Petrishchevo and continue the arson. However, the Germans were already on their guard and gathered a meeting of local residents, at which they were ordered to guard their houses.

With the onset of the evening of November 28, while trying to set fire to the barn of S. A. Sviridov (one of the guards appointed by the Germans), Kosmodemyanskaya was noticed by the owner. The Germans who were called by the latter seized the girl (at about 7 o'clock in the evening). Sviridov was awarded a bottle of vodka for this (later sentenced by the court to death). During interrogation, she identified herself as Tanya and did not say anything definite. Having stripped her naked, she was flogged with belts, then the guard assigned to her for 4 hours led her barefoot, in only her underwear, along the street in the cold. Local residents Solina and Smirnova (fire victims) also tried to join in the torture of Kosmodemyanskaya, throwing a pot of slop into Kosmodemyanskaya (Solina and Smirnova were subsequently sentenced to death). Zoya’s fighting friend Klavdiya Miloradova recalls that during the identification of the corpse, there was dried blood on Zoya’s hands and there were no nails. A dead body does not bleed, which means Zoya’s nails were also torn out during torture. At 10:30 the next morning, Kosmodemyanskaya was taken to the street where a gallows had already been erected; a sign was hung on her chest that read “House Arsonist.” When Kosmodemyanskaya was brought to the gallows, Smirnova hit her legs with a stick and shouted, “Who did you harm? She burned my house, but did nothing to the Germans..."

One of the witnesses describes the execution itself as follows: They led her by the arms to the gallows. She walked straight, with her head raised, silently, proudly. They brought him to the gallows. There were many Germans and civilians around the gallows. They brought her to the gallows, ordered her to expand the circle around the gallows and began to photograph her... She had a bag with bottles with her. She shouted: “Citizens! Don't stand there, don't look, but we need to help fight! This death of mine is my achievement.” After that, one officer swung his arms, and others shouted at her. Then she said: “Comrades, victory will be ours. German soldiers, before it’s too late, surrender.” The officer shouted angrily: “Rus!” “The Soviet Union is invincible and will not be defeated,” she said all this at the moment when she was photographed... Then they framed the box. She stood on the box herself without any command. A German came up and began to put on the noose. At that time she shouted: “No matter how much you hang us, you won’t hang us all, there are 170 million of us. But our comrades will avenge you for me.” She said this with a noose around her neck. She wanted to say something else, but at that moment the box was removed from under her feet, and she hung. She grabbed the rope with her hand, but the German hit her hands. After that everyone dispersed.

Zoya’s fate became widely known from the article “Tanya” by Pyotr Lidov, published in the newspaper Pravda on January 27, 1942. The author accidentally heard about the execution in Petrishchevo from a witness - an elderly peasant who was shocked by the courage of an unknown girl: “They hanged her, and she spoke a speech. They hanged her, and she kept threatening them...” Lidov went to Petrishchevo, questioned the residents in detail and, based on their questions, published an article. Her identity was soon established, as reported by Pravda in Lidov’s February 18 article “Who Was Tanya”; even earlier, on February 16, a decree was signed awarding her the title of Hero of the Soviet Union (posthumously).

A gentle mouth and high eyebrows - Eighteen girl years. In the partisan forests of the Moscow region, your trace will never disappear. A fawn with big eyes, dark cheeks, a half-childish oval... The commander sent him on a mission - It turned out that he sent him to Immortality. You fell into the clutches of the Gestapo, into the merciless pincers of trouble, and the executioner brought you a red-hot lamp instead of water. And they trampled you with their boots: - Where are the other bandits, answer! The name of? Where are you from? - Im Tanya.. . - Where are the others? - They are preparing death for you... And with bare feet in the snow, tightly squeezing her bloody mouth, as if on a throne, the Russian partisan ascended to the creaking scaffold. She looked around: “Why are you crying, people?” They will avenge you and me! ...The autumn wind chills my tears. Are you really sixty? No, you remain young, do you hear? The years have no power over you. In the sky of Eternity our Komsomol star rises higher and higher! Yulia Drunina. At the monument to Zoya Cold marble and wreaths - A world of eternal peace. But, as if in defiance of death, Zoya looks from the tombstone. The living come here to see her, To remember Zoya’s feat: A gray-haired warrior approaches, And now a girl stands here. Throwing away the curl from her forehead, She places the scribbled piece of paper on the smooth stone - It was torn out of the notebook. Places the words of the oath. On checkered paper The words are naive and simple: “I will be brave too! I, too, Zoechka, like you, will do everything for the Motherland!” Agniya Barto

Born on September 13, 1923 in the Tambov region, village. Aspen Guys. Zoya's mother, Lyubov Timofeevna, was a teacher. Father - Anatoly Petrovich, a former participant in the civil war, was in charge of the library. However, for a long time the fact was hidden that the girl’s paternal ancestors were clergy. Zoya’s grandfather, Pyotr Ivanovich Kosmodemyansky, a graduate of the Tambov Theological Seminary, was the rector of the Znamenskaya Church in the village of Osinovye Gai, from a family of hereditary clergy. His brother, Vasily Ivanovich, was also a priest. In 1918, her grandfather was brutally tortured and drowned in a pond by the Bolsheviks. The Kosmodemyansky family spent some time in Siberia, as the girl’s parents feared arrest, but soon returned and settled in the capital. My father worked at the Timiryazev Academy, took shorthand courses and was intensively preparing to enter a correspondence technical institute - this was his long-time dream. Maybe this life at the limit of possibilities undermined his strength. Or perhaps the consequences of serving in the Red Army during the Civil War had an impact. Without having time to fulfill his dream, Anatoly Petrovich became seriously ill and, despite the successful operation, died in 1933. The death of his father was a heavy blow for the whole family. The father was loved and respected. Zoya had to grow up quickly and get used to life without her father. She always helped her parents around the house, and now taking care of her younger brother fell on her shoulders.

After returning from Siberia, she studied at school No. 201 in Moscow and was especially interested in humanitarian subjects. The girl’s dream was to enter the Literary Institute, but she was destined for a completely different fate. In 1940, Zoya suffered a severe form of meningitis and underwent a rehabilitation course at a specialized sanatorium in Sokolniki, where she met Arkady Gaidar. When in 1941 a recruitment of volunteers was announced to staff the partisan unit 9903, Kosmodemyanskaya was one of the first to go for an interview and successfully passed it. After this, she and about 2,000 other Komsomol members were sent to special courses, and then transferred to the Volokolamsk region

The feat of Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya. On November 18, the commanders of two sabotage groups HF No. 9903, P. Provorov and B. Krainov, received orders to destroy 10 settlements located behind enemy lines within a week. As part of the first of them, Red Army soldier Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya went on a mission. The groups were fired upon by the Germans near the village of Golovkovo, and due to heavy losses they had to unite under the command of Krainov. Thus, the feat of Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya was accomplished in the late autumn of 1941. More precisely, the girl went on her last mission to the village of Petrishchevo on the night of November 27 along with the group commander and fighter Vasily Klubkov. They set fire to three residential buildings along with stables, destroying 20 horses of the invaders. In addition, witnesses subsequently spoke about another feat of Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya. It turns out that the girl managed to disable the communications center, making it impossible for some German units occupying positions near Moscow to interact.

Captivity. An investigation into the events that occurred in Petrishchev at the end of November 1941 showed that Krainov did not wait for Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya and Vasily Klubkov and returned to his own. The girl herself, not finding her comrades at the appointed place, decided to continue carrying out the order on her own and went to the village again on the evening of November 28. This time she failed to carry out the arson, as she was captured by the peasant S. Sviridov and handed over to the Germans. The Nazis, enraged by the constant sabotage, began to torture the girl, trying to find out from her how many other partisans were operating in the Petrishchevo area. Investigators and historians, whose subject of study was the immortal feat of Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya, also established that two local residents took part in her beating, whose houses she set on fire the day before she was captured.

Execution. On the morning of November 29, 1941, Kosmodemyanskaya was led to the place where the gallows were built. There was a sign hanging around her neck with an inscription in German and Russian, which said that the girl was a house arsonist. On the way, Zoya was attacked by one of the peasant women who had been left without a home due to her fault, and hit her in the legs with a stick. Then several German soldiers began to photograph the girl. Subsequently, the peasants, who were brought in to see the execution of the saboteur, told the investigators about another feat of Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya. Before they put a noose around her neck, the fearless patriot made a short speech in which she called for fighting the fascists, and ended it with words about the invincibility of the Soviet Union. “You’ll hang me now, but I’m not alone! There are two hundred million of us. You will be avenged for me. Soldiers! Before it’s too late, surrender: victory will still be ours!” The girl's body was on the gallows for about a month and was buried by local residents only on the eve of the New Year. Recognition of the feat. Immediately after Petrishchevo was liberated, a special commission arrived there. The purpose of her visit was to identify the corpse and interrogate those who saw with their own eyes the feat of Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya. Briefly, all the testimony was recorded on paper and sent to Moscow for further investigation. After studying these and other materials, the girl was personally posthumously awarded the high title of Hero of the Soviet Union by Stalin.

Slide text: Having dispersed throughout the village, the partisans carried out their plans. But frightened by the unexpected attack of the saboteurs, the Nazis managed to run out of the burning houses. It is known about the further development of events that Krainev did not wait for Zoya and Klubkov at the agreed meeting place and, having left, safely returned to his people. Klubkov was captured by the Germans, and Zoya, having missed her comrades and being left alone, decided to return to Petrishchevo and continue the arson. However, both the Germans and local residents were already on their guard, and the Nazis posted a guard of several Petrishchevsky men.

Slide text: “When I approached the buildings that I was supposed to set on fire, I saw that sections of Kosmodemyanskaya and Krainova had caught fire. Approaching the house, I broke the Molotov cocktail and threw it, but it did not catch fire. At this time, I saw two German sentries not far from me and decided to run away into the forest, located 300 meters from the village.

Zoya Anatolyevna Kosmodemyanskaya is a Red Army soldier of the sabotage and reconnaissance group of the headquarters of the Western Front. The first woman to be awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union (posthumously) during the war. It became a symbol of the heroism of the Soviet people in the Great Patriotic War. Her image is reflected in fiction, journalism, cinema, painting, monumental art, and museum exhibitions.

Slide 4

Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya was a Red Army soldier in a sabotage brigade led by the legendary Arthur Karlovich Sprogis. In June 1941, he formed a special military unit No. 9903 to carry out sabotage operations behind enemy lines. Its core consisted of volunteers from Komsomol organizations in Moscow and the Moscow region, and the command staff was recruited from students of the Frunze Military Academy. During the Battle of Moscow, 50 combat groups and detachments were trained in this military unit of the intelligence department of the Western Front. In total, from September 1941 to February 1942, they made 89 penetrations behind enemy lines, destroyed 3,500 German soldiers and officers, eliminated 36 traitors, blew up 13 fuel tanks, 14 tanks

Slide 5

On the night of November 27-28, group commander Boris Krainov, Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya and Komsomol organizer of the reconnaissance school Vasily Klubkov reached the village of Petrishchevo, where, in addition to other military installations of the Nazis, they were to destroy a field radio and electronic reconnaissance point carefully disguised as a stable. Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya successfully completed a combat mission - she destroyed two houses and an enemy car with KS bottles. However, when returning back to the forest, when she was already far from the site of sabotage, she was noticed by the local elder Sviridov. He called the fascists. And Zoya was arrested. The grateful occupiers poured a glass of vodka for Sviridov.

Slide 6

Zoya was tortured for a long time and brutally, but she did not give out any information about the brigade or where her comrades should wait. She also hid her name, calling herself Tanya. However, the Nazis soon captured Vasily Klubkov. He showed cowardice and told everything he knew. Boris Krainov miraculously managed to escape into the forest. Subsequently, fascist intelligence officers recruited Klubkov and sent him back to the Sprogis brigade with a “legend” about his escape from captivity. But he was quickly exposed. During interrogation, Klubkov spoke about Zoya’s feat.

Slide 7

From the interrogation protocol of March 11 - 12, 1942 by V. Klubkov: - Were you present during the interrogation of Kosmodemyanskaya? Yes, I was present. The officer asked her how she set the village on fire. She replied that she did not set the village on fire. After this, the officer began beating Zoya and demanded testimony, but she categorically refused to give one. Seeing that Zoya was silent, several officers stripped her naked and severely beat her with rubber truncheons for 2-3 hours, extracting her testimony. Kosmodemyanskaya told the officers: “Kill me, I won’t tell you anything.” After which she was taken away, and I never saw her again.”

Slide 8

And the Nazis continued to torture the girl. Even some German officers could not stand it and lost consciousness while witnessing the torture. The guard assigned to her for 4 hours led her barefoot, in only her underwear, in the cold along the street.

Slide 9

The next morning the execution took place. The Nazis built a gallows for Zoya, and they hung a sign on the girl’s chest that said “Arsonist” and began taking photographs. Before the massacre, Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya shouted: “Citizens! Don't stand there, don't look, but we need to help the army fight! My death for my Motherland is my achievement in life.” She said all this while she was being photographed.

The German officer swung, but Zoya continued: “Comrades, victory will be ours. German soldiers, before it’s too late, surrender. The Soviet Union is invincible and will not be defeated... No matter how much you hang us, you won’t outweigh them all - there are 170 million of us. Our comrades will avenge you for me,” said the Komsomol member with a noose around her neck.

Her body hung there for about a month, repeatedly being abused by German soldiers passing through the village. Drunken German soldiers stabbed him with bayonets... Zoya had one of her breasts cut off... On New Year's Day 1942, drunken Germans tore off the hanged clothes and once again violated the body, stabbing it with knives. The next day, the Germans gave the order to remove the gallows, and Zoya was buried by local residents outside the village.

After the war, Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya was posthumously awarded the Star of the Hero of the Soviet Union and solemnly reburied at the Novodevichy Cemetery in Moscow. Zoya’s fate became widely known from the article “Tanya” by Pyotr Lidov, published in the newspaper Pravda on January 27, 1942. The author accidentally heard about the execution in Petrishchevo from a witness - an elderly peasant who was shocked by the courage of an unknown girl: “They hanged her, and she spoke a speech. They hanged her, and she kept threatening them...”.
