1982 – 1993

The transition as a result of the scientific and technological revolution to a qualitatively new level of weapons development, the introduction of the latest technologies, and serious changes in the strategy and tactics of armed struggle have entailed stricter requirements for stability, efficiency and security of control at all levels and in control and communications subsystems. Marshal of Signal Corps A.I. Belov writes: “Communications are the heart of the command and control system. We were faced with the task of creating a comprehensive automated control system for all types of strategic weapons. The communications system determines the face of any army. Real superiority over the enemy can only be achieved by improving the control system and, first of all, ", its foundations are communication systems and automated control. At the end of the 70s, the organizational and technical principles of constructing and operating the data exchange system of the automated control system of the Armed Forces were practically implemented on new principles of message switching, interfacing it with other automated systems." Therefore, it was necessary to train specialists for the communications troops who were able to effectively use computer technology in their professional activities and competently operate the complexes of automated troop control systems, automated means and communications complexes that were coming into service.
The Chief of Communications of the Armed Forces of the USSR - Deputy Chief of the General Staff - Marshal of Signal Corps A.I. Belov decided to create departments of "Automated Troop Control and Communications Systems" in all command communications schools, including RVVKUS. In terms of control over the implementation of this order on the basis of the school under the leadership of Marshal of the Signal Corps A.I. Belov held training sessions for the leadership of troops and higher educational institutions of communications. He repeatedly came to the school, where he not only got acquainted with the organization of the educational process, but also participated in special tactical exercises conducted at the Seletsk training center. During inspections, Marshal A.I. Belov delved deeply into the problems of improving the training of signal officers. The marshal emphasized that scientific and technological progress determines the acceleration of equipping signal troops with the latest technology. At the RVVKUS departments, he became acquainted with how teachers instill in cadets the skills to master modern communications technology. During the State exams, Marshal I.O. Belov meticulously and at the same time kindly checked how the knowledge and skills of the graduates met the requirements for a communications officer. On the solemn day of graduation, Marshal of the Signal Corps A.I. Belov personally presented diplomas and gave kind words to the young lieutenants. He emphasized: “A commander in the army is responsible for his subordinates and their actions. The mistakes and shortcomings of a subordinate are your mistakes and shortcomings. This approach lies at the basis of army discipline and the officer’s code of honor.” College graduate, reserve lieutenant colonel E.I. Smolin, remembers his meeting with Marshal of the Signal Corps A.I. Belov: “I was introduced to him as the youngest “Honorary Radio Operator.” The marshal was distinguished by a sharp mind and a desire to understand the essence of problems. He was interested in literally everything , and especially the specifics and organization of communications in the airborne troops.
The fulfillment of the tasks set by time to train a new generation of signal officers was entrusted to Major General A.A. Aseev, who commanded the school from 1982 to 1986. He went through all levels of the military ranks. Provided communications for Marshal G.K. Zhukov, Marshal V.G. Kulikov, worked for many years together with Marshal A.I. Belov. Even as a lieutenant, when fate brought him together in Hungary in 1956 with G.K. Zhukov, he firmly internalized the latter’s words: “Never say “there is no connection.” There should always be a connection.”
The new head of the school paid special attention to organizing the work of selecting candidates. He wrote: “If earlier the emphasis was placed on the youth who were selected for us in units and military commissariats, now we are looking for and finding worthy people ourselves. The main work of searching, studying and selecting candidates has been transferred directly to the school, and is carried out it's constant all year long."
Print, radio, and television were used for military professional orientation of young people. The school command organized Open Days, and patronage work was actively carried out in schools and vocational schools. Representatives of RVVKUS traveled to other cities, military units, and military registration and enlistment offices. Locally, the main focus was not on promoting the school, but on studying young people, searching for those who had the necessary data for successful studies. The propaganda work carried out by the cadets during their internship in the army had a significant effect. The quality of the selection of candidates was evidenced by the fact that for a number of years not a single cadet was expelled from the school.
One of the best cadets was A. Kulakov, who, while still at school, decided to become an officer and entered the school. He achieved significant success in his studies, became an excellent student, and helped his comrades master the subjects they studied. Soon he was entrusted with command of the department, which he successfully coped with. A student of the 14th secondary school, Yu. Frolov, dreamed of entering RVVKUS and worked hard to prepare for the entrance exams. After admission, he became an excellent student and enjoyed well-deserved authority among his comrades and officers. For success in studies and military service, Yu. Frolov was awarded the rank of sergeant and appointed deputy platoon commander. His platoon became one of the best in the school, which was largely due to Sergeant Yu. Frolov. A conscientious attitude to study and a thorough study of military communications equipment allowed R. Burnashev and S. Gonchar to become excellent students. They prepared in advance for the examination sessions. For complex issues, additional literature was selected.
Tactical and special classes contributed to the successful passing of specialty exams. Future officers, working out the standards for the deployment of communications equipment, fully performed the duties of shift supervisors and communications centers, and consolidated the theoretical knowledge acquired during the semester in practice. RVVKUS graduate cadets participated in tactical exercises, which took place in conditions as close as possible to combat ones. With their skillful actions, they ensured uninterrupted and stable communication. Senior Sergeant Pryadko and Sergeants Khripunov, Ryzhkov, Sviridov especially distinguished themselves when practicing complex combat training tasks.
In 1983, thanks to the efforts of the head of the school, Major General A.A. Aseev, and the heads of departments, Colonels I.K. Prosoedov. and Satdarova A.M., RVVKUS initiated the integration of tactical-special classes and exercises with schools of other profiles. In Ryazan, RVVKUS conducted such exercises with the airborne school. Central television made a film about them in 1985, which was then shown in the “Podvig” program. Such special exercises allowed signal cadets to understand the importance of ensuring high-quality communications and to be convinced of the capabilities of the equipment being studied.
In 1984, two departments were merged: “Radio Communications Engineering” and “Work on Communications and SES” into one department of “Radio Communications”. Its main objectives were to improve the quality of training and education of cadets, improve the methodological skills of teachers, and train scientific and pedagogical personnel. The department was distinguished by fruitful scientific activity. Colonels Sukhinin I.M. and Mansurov V.M. for the military-scientific works “Radiotelegraphist”, “Experience in training radiotelegraphists in a shortened time”, they earned high praise from specialists at a competition at the Military Academy of Communications. For the period from 1969-1989. The department’s staff was the lead executor of 20 research projects, which were determined by the plans of the Chief of Signal Corps. “During training at the department,” wrote reserve colonel, candidate of technical sciences, associate professor L.N. Kotov, “the cadets received deep theoretical knowledge of military radio communications equipment and good practical work skills. All cadets had cool specialties: class I - 20%, II - 30%, III class - all the rest."
In 1985, the department of “Automated Troop Control and Communications Systems” was organized at the school, headed by Candidate of Technical Sciences, Associate Professor, Colonel R.K. Okhapkin. The main objectives of the department were to develop cadets’ knowledge of the principles of construction, operation of computer technology and control automation systems, the basics of modeling, algorithmization and programming. Teachers of the department are colonels, candidates of technical sciences Salamatin V.G., Trapeznikov I.V., lieutenant Zinoviev B.N. - laboratory engineers paid serious attention to increasing the applied focus of training, developing strong skills in cadets to independently work on computer equipment and control automation systems.
In the early 80s, the Department of Social Sciences became the initiator at the school of strengthening the individual approach to training and developing the creative abilities of future officers. For this purpose, curricula and programs were changed, and the number of hours allocated to practical classes was increased. For school officers, demonstration classes were held on methods of organizing independent work under the guidance of a teacher. The experience of such teachers of the department as Belozertseva V.K., Masyagina L.V., Sharzhukova I.P., Kiseleva A.A. was especially valued.
Veterans of the department, front-line soldiers L.D. made a huge contribution to the training and education of cadets. Usyskin, N.A. Kireev, V.V. Kozhurenko, M.A. Kudinov. They took part in thematic evenings held in cadet groups, spoke on local radio with stories about their youth at the front, about the courage and bravery of signalmen. All teachers of the Department of Social Sciences instilled in the cadets an interest in research work and contributed to expanding their political horizons. Six works of cadets were awarded diplomas in 1985, and the works of cadets G. Batrakov, S. Pastukhov, R. Bolshakov were submitted to the republican and all-Union competitions of scientific student works. Teachers of the Department of Social Sciences L.V. have proven themselves to be skillful propagandists and activists of the city and regional “Knowledge” societies. Masyagin, N.A. Volkov, I.M. Chaly, A.F. Agarev, A.P. Prokofiev. Veterans of the Great Patriotic War L.D. Usyskin, N.A. Kireev, M.A. took an active part in lecture propaganda among Komsomol members and youth. Kudinov. The participation of teachers in lecture work contributed to the growth of their professional skills and the intensification of military-patriotic work among young people.
During this period, the leadership of RVVKUS attached serious importance to inventive and rationalization work. The head of the school, Major General of the Signal Corps A.A. Aseev, noted: “The cadets’ VNO, which is headed by a candidate of technical sciences, Lieutenant Colonel V. Shedin, is actively working. The cadet design bureau (KKB) under the leadership of Lieutenant Colonel S. Zelenkov is building its work in an interesting way. At its meetings, its members find new technical solutions, conduct experiments and experiments. Cadets organize scientific and practical conferences, meet with scientists from Ryazan universities, inventors and innovators. KKB has developed close ties with the Ryazan radio plant.
At the conference on rationalization and invention of the Moscow Military District, the school presented 10 educational exhibits, and then 5 at VDNKh. Among them is a simulator for training cadets, which was developed by a group of inventors under the leadership of the head of the department, candidate of technical sciences, associate professor Colonel L. Kotov. The simulator was then recommended for industrial production. The most actively engaged in rationalization work are Major A. Gotsulyak, warrant officers V. Galkin, Yu. Mashonkin, employees V. Vasilevsky, A. Melekhin, cadets A. Dolgikh, S. Vorobyov, S. Vazhnik.”
The officer is entrusted with weapons, military equipment, and most importantly, people who need to be trained and educated. Associate Professor of the Department of Humanitarian and Socio-Economic Disciplines, retired colonel V.V. Shuvalov writes in his memoirs: “The political department drew up a comprehensive work plan for all the years of study of the cadets, which provided for various forms of organizational, party-political and educational activities. The purpose of this plan was to train high-quality officers for the signal troops and at the same time educators with a high moral culture. We planned and conducted seminars with various categories of actives, at which we considered theoretical and practical issues of educational work. The cadets were addressed by party and Soviet workers of the region, scientists and culture, labor leaders.Activists, in turn, shared their experience of working at the airborne school, with young people from enterprises and educational institutions in Ryazan.
A unified political day was regularly held at RVVKUS, during which the heads of the school and departments spent the entire day, from wake-up until bedtime, with the personnel, resolving current issues, talking with cadets on current political topics. This form of work, as well as holding “question and answer evenings,” contributed to the rapprochement of the school cadets with the command.
Ways and means of increasing the effectiveness of military education of cadets and instilling in them educational work skills were considered at RVVKUS at scientific and methodological conferences. At one of them in 1984, the head of the school, Major General A.A. Aseev. In the report of Colonel F.V. Zavalov, the talk was about increasing the effectiveness of military education of future signal officers. The deputy head of the school for educational work, Colonel A.V. Bolshakov, revealed the problems of improving the quality and efficiency of the educational process. Colonels V.A. shared their experience of moral education of cadets and instilling in them educational work skills. Kukushko, A.A. Kiselev, V.K. Belozertsev, Lieutenant Colonels V.S. Nektorov, captain Yu.G. Delezha, senior lieutenant V.N. Litvin." A frank exchange of opinions, a business-like and substantive conversation on educational issues had a profound impact on improving the training of signal officers.
Retired colonel F.V. Zavalov devoted eighteen years of service, from 1969 to 1984, to the education of signal officers. In his memoirs, he emphasizes that “we were seriously engaged in the education of personnel in the spirit of patriotism, friendship of peoples, loyalty to our oath and duty to the Motherland. Forms and methods of work changed and improved, but the main ones were scientific and practical conferences and seminars, meetings with graduates , veterans of the school and noble people of Ryazan. Cultural and educational work was distinguished by its diversity and was perceived with interest. There were patronage connections with the drama theatre, philharmonic society, circus, museums. Every year on May 9, Victory Day, they took part in the holiday of the soldier's song. Reader's conferences were held regularly, meetings with poets, writers, artists. An event in the life of the school was the amateur art shows of the units."
Close military friendship bound the signal cadets and paratroopers. It was tempered and strengthened during joint exercises, sports competitions and thematic meetings. At one of them, cadet N. Akhramenko, master of sports in radio sports, champion of the Moscow Military District in all-around radio operators, spoke to the future paratroopers. He told them about the history of the formation and development of radio sports in the country, about the achievements of signal cadets. Nominal scholarship holder A. Kosarev demonstrated work with “fox hunting” equipment and quickly found the transmitters hidden in the hall. The meeting ended with a joint concert of amateur performances.
The political department, the department of social sciences, together with the library, held theme evenings, reading conferences, and meetings with writers and poets for officers and cadets. The head of the library, A.I. Sokolova, and her staff strived to ensure that the events held were not only educational, but also interesting for listeners. The reading room featured colorfully decorated book exhibitions on various topics. Literary reviews, exhibitions of new acquisitions, prepared by bibliographer T.Ya. Kiseleva, librarians A.N. Rodina and T.I. Derba always aroused interest and were popular at the school. Library workers provided enormous assistance to the command, teaching staff and unit commanders in the moral education of cadets.
In 1984, reading conferences were held on the books of Hero of the Soviet Union V.V. Karpov, Alexander Bek, about the poetic heritage of the hero of the Patriotic War of 1812 Denis Davydov. The library staff took part in meetings between cadets and school veterans, participants in the Great Patriotic War I.A. Laptiev, V.S. Ringev. They talked about their youth at the front, their combat friends who heroically fought the enemy during the terrible war years. A graduate of the school in 1980, order bearer, senior lieutenant V. Gusev, who served with the Soviet troops in Afghanistan, spoke about the continuity of generations of signal officers.
Members of the literary association "Efir" provided assistance to the library staff in conducting conversations and evenings. Dozens of cadets and officers studied in the poetry and prose sections. They were led by school teachers who gave review lectures on the latest in fiction. Members of the association often visited departments where they performed their works and talked about new publications. They met with professional writers and discussed their own writings with them. Secretary of the Ryazan Regional Writers' Organization, member of the Union of Writers of the USSR V.A. Zolotov read his stories and poems, and also took part in the discussion of new works by the “on-air” people. The writer noted the poem “The Ballad of Mother and Son” by cadet A. Shcherbakov, the story “Wild” by cadet O. Ershov, and the cycle of poems by officer Yu. Vishnevsky. Subsequently, the school printing house published several collections of poems by members of the Efir association, which were in demand among cadets and officers.
Just five years from 1983 to 1988. worked at the school as the head of the political department, retired colonel V.K. Vishnevetsky, but his experience in educational work is worthy of serious study even today. In his memoirs, he draws attention to the following points: “I developed a good relationship with the head of the school, Major General of the Signal Corps A.A. Aseev. He could always find an approach to a cadet, officer, employee. He was accessible to everyone. On his initiative and with the active participation of the wives of officers and warrant officers, the "Young Family Club" was created and worked fruitfully. Many cadets, especially 3rd and 4th year students, got married. It is clear that they had no life experience. And let's be honest: many young wives We didn’t know how to cook delicious food, so we decided, using the “Young Family Club,” to give at least some knowledge in this difficult area of ​​​​life.
Officers with worldly experience and their wives spoke to the young families. Doctors were invited. They organized culinary exhibitions with mandatory “tasting” of dishes, baked goods, etc. At the same time, next to each dish there were recipes for its preparation. These traditions continued under the new head of the school, Colonel Mazhorov M.B. Every year in September on the eve of S.A.’s birthday. Yesenin’s command organized a boat excursion for first-year cadets to the poet’s homeland in the village of Konstantinovo. It was during these years, on the initiative of the head of the department of physical culture and sports, Lieutenant Colonel A.E. Sukhorukov began to hold the school’s Spartakiad in summer and winter sports.
With great gratitude I remember the joint work with deputy battalion commanders for political affairs Delezha Yu.G., Novokreshchenov V.A., Biryukov A.T., Skobtsov Yu.A. I would especially like to note the work of unit commanders V.I. Polyakov, G.A. Tatarinov, Yu.K. Ivanov, A.P. Tsehmistro, A.P. Eringis. The support battalion was commanded by E.S. Dementyev. Competing with each other in a good way, they, at the same time, helped with advice and action to everyone who needed help.
The best cadet platoon commanders, in my opinion, were V. Bodunov, A. Shashkin, A. Polulyashchenko, V. Korneev. For example, the study group of Captain A. Polulyashchenko achieved excellent results for several semesters. Due to what? Firstly, the platoon commander managed to select non-commissioned officers who really enjoyed authority among their colleagues. Secondly, I constantly worked with the asset, taught him the practice of working with people, and instilled in him a sense of responsibility for the assigned work. Thirdly, he was strict, but fair with his subordinates, and did not overlook a single offense. Fourthly, he constantly kept in touch with teachers, attracting them to work with cadets. Well, he himself set an example for his subordinates. Apparently, these components in the platoon commander’s work helped him solve issues of improving the quality of cadets’ studies. In general, educational work had the task of giving each person a purpose in life, a guideline, and conviction in the rightness of his cause. And this is what we gave."
Signal officers needed physical skills, dexterity, and health, which they acquired by engaging in physical education and sports at school. In the school gym until late in the evening, training in sections and sports competitions took place, in which almost every cadet could take part. At their service were strength training equipment, sports corners in the departments, where at any free minute they could improve their physical training and sportsmanship. Excellent conditions were created in the training center: the stadium, various sports grounds served as a good help to the cadets in their desire to comprehensively prepare themselves for future activities.
The school's traditional Spartakiads were a real holiday for the cadets. Throughout the year there were intense fights on the treadmills, jumping sectors, and wrestling mats, but the most exciting competitions were in team sports. The best sports results were achieved by units headed by majors A.I. Trofimov and V.N. Bodunov. Each cadet was a category athlete.
Among the permanent staff of the school, competitions were held in six sports. The victory in 1985 was won by the department headed by Colonel S.P. Rybalchenko. The head of the department was a good fighter himself, loved volleyball and managed to create a close-knit team of sports enthusiasts. The leadership of the school is Major General A.A. Aseev, Colonels V.K. Vishnevetsky and A.A. Korneev not only provided concrete assistance in the development of mass sports, but also actively participated in sports competitions. During this period, in RVVKUS, 95% of the personnel were VSK badge holders, 98% were discharge athletes, 11 masters of sports. Everyone at the school knew well the names of three-time world champion among juniors in skiing, international master of sports G. Lazutin, national champion among juniors in classical wrestling A. Baskakov, candidates for master of sports cadets I. Kogan, O. Laktyukhin, E. Chernukha .
The head of the department, Lieutenant Colonel A.E., made a great contribution to improving the teaching of physical education. Sukhorukov. The following remain in the memory of many generations of cadets: reserve lieutenant colonel S.A. Proshchalykin - master of sports in skiing, repeated national champion among veterans, reserve lieutenant colonel Bondarenko I.P. - Master of Sports, multiple champion of the Armed Forces in officer triathlon. Reserve Lieutenant Colonel V.S. Nektorov, who joined from 1969 to 1993, remains a living legend of the department. to the physical culture of cadets of many generations.
On the basis of RVVKUS, events were regularly held through the sports committee of the Ministry of Defense. Thus, in May 1984, an international scientific and practical conference of the sports committee of the Friendly Armies on the development of military-technical and applied sports was held, in which representatives of 20 countries of the world took part. It was held under the leadership of twice Hero of the Soviet Union, pilot-cosmonaut V.V. Gorbatko. The conference participants got acquainted with the educational and material base of the school in military-applied sports, and watched demonstration performances by radio athletes. They were shown a film about the psychological training of signal officers. The head of the RVVKUS, Major General of the Signal Corps A.A. Aseev, spoke about the positive impact of radio sports on improving the combat skills of future officers, and that the school has trained 14 masters of sports.
The conference participants were delighted with the actions of cadet N.A. Akhramenko, who received an alphabetic radiogram at a speed of 200 characters per minute. In transmitting radiograms, cadets V. Smirnyagin and N. Kuskov showed good results.
Colonel of the Czechoslovak Army Vladimir Chernykh emphasized: “We saw a lot of interesting, instructive things and we will try to apply this experience in the training of athletes of our army.” “When we return home, we will definitely engage in the development of technical and military sports, because we see how useful they are for warriors,” said Captain Adil Abdul Rahman from Yemen.
The school has repeatedly hosted championships of the Moscow Military District and the Armed Forces in radio sports. The honor of the MVO junior team was successfully defended in 1983 by RVVKUS cadet V. Smirnyagin, who achieved the maximum result in the competition for receiving telegrams and scored 100 points. Cadet N. Akhramenko fulfilled the standard of a master of sports in the competition on receiving and writing text on a typewriter.
The effectiveness of the entire system of educational work was shown by the results of military training for cadets. It was carried out in units centrally subordinate to the Chief of Signal Corps, as well as in the Moscow, Leningrad, Carpathian, North Caucasus, Odessa and Kiev districts. Future officers acquired good skills in performing official duties in their respective command positions. In 1985, 89.2% of cadets received an excellent grade for their internship, 10.3% received a good grade, and 0.5% received a satisfactory grade. In addition, many cadets were rewarded by commanders of military units for their diligence in service.
The success of the graduate internship largely depended on the organizational and practical work carried out by teachers and unit commanders appointed as its leaders. Colonels A.P. brought excellent reviews of their activities from the troops. Tsekhmistro, Yu.A. Saulesleya, I.M. Chaly, Lieutenant Colonels A.M. Khoroshavin, S.A. Smirnov, majors A.I. Trofimov, V.M. Egorov. The commanders of many military units turned to the command of the school with a request to send to them for service those cadets who had undergone internship with them. Such requests were evidence that the RVVKUS trained competent officers with excellent people skills and the ability to maintain complex equipment and weapons.
Traditionally, the ceremony of graduating young lieutenants was solemnly held at the school. To the sounds of a march, the School Banner, its military shrine, was carried in front of the frozen formation of signal officers. The graduates of 1984 were greeted by the Chief of Communications of the Armed Forces, Marshal of the Signal Corps A.I. Belov, who read out the order of the Minister of Defense on awarding the graduates of the school the first officer rank - lieutenant. Four of them graduated from the school with a gold medal, many received diplomas with honors. “The military profession has been my dream since childhood. When I entered the school, I immediately realized that it is necessary and possible to study well here. After all, officer service requires deep knowledge. Without this, it is impossible to educate subordinates,” said scholarship recipient R. Burnashev. Marshal of Signal Corps A.I. Belov read out a greeting from the Minister of Defense, Marshal of the USSR D.F. Ustinov and emphasized the importance of communications in the life of the army. He wished the graduates success in strengthening the Armed Forces of the Soviet Union.
“Each of today’s graduates is a skilled young officer, a person devoted to the Motherland and the people, who has deeply studied advanced methods of training and education of personnel, skillfully operating modern military equipment and property,” noted the head of the school, Major General of the Signal Corps A.A. Aseev. Lieutenant R. Burnashev spoke on behalf of the young officers, who expressed gratitude to the command and the school teachers for the knowledge, understanding and care they received. He assured that the graduates will bear the rank of officer with dignity.
It was Gennady Pushkin, a 1985 graduate, who was forever included in the RVVKUS lists for his heroic feat in an unequal battle with dushmans in Afghanistan. He was posthumously awarded the Order of the Red Star. More than 330 students of the school passed the tests in Afghanistan; 52 of them were awarded the Order of the Red Star, and 130 were awarded the Order “For Service to the Motherland in the Armed Forces of the USSR.” Signal officers - graduates of the school - fulfilled their duty with dignity for the security and defense of the Soviet state.
Ryazan Higher Military Command School of Communications in 1986-1988. Colonel Mazhorov Mikhail Borisovich commanded. In his memoirs about that period, he wrote: “In the very diverse activities of the head of the school, the organization of the educational process is certainly a priority. Constant management of it involves an analysis of the existing state of affairs and its effectiveness.
In the eighties, in the training programs for officers at military communications schools, what prevailed, in my opinion, was not the best trend of training signal officers of the so-called “broad profile.” At the same time, any specialization of graduates was excluded, which had a very negative impact on the development of young officers and on their mastery of their initial positions. The cadet studied at the school for four years, and the list of communications equipment in the troops numbered in the dozens, which entailed many specialties.
As the commander of signal units, the head of the army signal troops, I used to personally meet with every college graduate arriving to staff the signal troops. This made it possible to get an idea of ​​the lieutenant and take it into account when appointing him to a position. Then, throughout the year, and especially carefully in the first months, observe the officer’s growth, providing him with the necessary assistance. Such work with young officers made it possible to see all his strengths and weaknesses. The majority of young officers experienced significant difficulties in matters of arranging communications equipment, organizing its operation, personal work on it and, as a result, had problems working with personnel. There was no way to count on the help of sergeants, and the staffing of field communications centers with warrant officers was negligible. Thus, the platoon commander became the main training figure. This problem needed to be solved! The cadet training programs at the schools had a certain “immunity” and great inertia. Nevertheless, it was necessary to introduce “specialization” into the training of school graduates, since life and military practice urgently required a solution to this problem.
I briefly outlined my thoughts and specific proposals to the officers of the school. In the process of understanding ways to solve the problem, the idea increasingly acquired specific ways of implementation. One of the first to accept this idea and warmly support it was the deputy head of the school for academic work, Colonel L.I. Votinov, and then the battalion commanders, Colonels V.I. Polyakov and A.G. Mostovshchikov, and soon all the officers.
The idea and ways of its implementation boiled down to the following. By the beginning of the fourth year, each cadet had to know what position he would be certified for upon graduation. This position was determined taking into account the opinions of departments, unit commanders and the desires of cadets. In order to determine the optimal ratio of the need for troops of signal officers, the ratio of positions in the army communications regiment was taken as a basis. Next, the cadets were informed of the preliminary decision of the head of the school regarding their final certification and their targeted training was organized. Thus, the cadet was given a list of questions that needed to be worked out in preparation for the upcoming position throughout the graduation course. While undergoing military training, the cadet practiced in the upcoming position.
The heads of the district signal troops were directed by the head of the school that when appointing Ryazan graduates to positions, the final certification should be taken into account as much as possible. Undoubtedly, even such a small extracurricular orientation of a college graduate gave him great help in mastering his initial position."
The training and education of the future officer began with the solemn ritual of taking the military oath, which took place on Victory Square. It was symbolic that the freshmen had to continue the glorious military traditions of their fathers and grandfathers, who defended the freedom and independence of the Motherland during the Great Patriotic War. But for this they needed to study hard and master combat skills. NCOs and platoon commanders paid serious attention to studying the personal qualities of cadets and sought to create strong military teams on this basis. In the unit of Captain V. Shashkin, painstaking individual work was carried out by the commanders with the young cadet. The sergeants were given classes on the practice of educational work with subordinates. Captains V. Gusev, V. Chesnokov, senior lieutenant A. Sigov skillfully used various forms of encouragement and sought to ensure that they did not turn into a formality. Rewards were announced before the formation or at the meeting. Letters to parents about exemplary performance of military duty were especially valued among cadets.
In the battalion of Lieutenant Colonel V.I. Polyakov, a sergeant lecture hall was created, where experienced methodological officers and command staff of the school spoke to junior commanders on the most pressing problems of military and moral education. The experience of the commanders of cadet units showed that in those military teams where constant attention was paid to the issue of education and strengthening of discipline, there was success in studies, in the formation of high moral and business qualities in future officers.
One of the forms that stimulated the study and military service of cadets was the participation of the command and political staff of the school in meetings of personnel at which the results of the educational process were summed up. The best cadets and units were noted in the orders of the head of the school, in the historical register, and on museum stands. The cadets followed the example of scholarship recipients B. Gudzenko, S. Yakovlev, V. Karpov. They showed with their knowledge that the course taken at the school to combine high theoretical knowledge with practical training would help them become qualified signal officers.
The best results in training and education of cadets were systematically achieved by the most experienced military teachers, Colonels L.N. Kotov, L.V. Masyagin, V.I. Seredavkin, L.I. Votinov, associate professor V.P. Malakhov, teachers Colonels I.I. Tyminsky, I.M. Roan. The staff of the Department of Social Sciences paid the most serious attention to the further methodological and scientific-pedagogical growth of teaching staff. The improvement of teaching methods at the department followed the path of introducing the method of problem-based learning, which required constant mobilization of thought, deep knowledge, and courage in judgment. The lectures and seminars conducted by teachers I.P. were recognized as the best in this regard. Sharzhukov, I.M. Chaly, N.F. Boyko, N.A. Volkov, L.D. Usyskin. All this contributed to instilling in the cadets propaganda skills, the ability to independently prepare and speak on current issues in the life of the country.
The use of automation and electronic devices in classes has become a common occurrence at the school. Auditoriums, laboratories and classrooms were equipped with the latest equipment. Many of the technical means were made by the hands of officers, warrant officers and cadets. The department, headed by Candidate of Technical Sciences, Associate Professor, Colonel L.N. Kotov, achieved the greatest success here. The Department of Radio Communications enjoyed well-deserved prestige in the school and took first place in rationalization and inventive work.
The Cadet Design Bureau (KKB) made a significant contribution to improving the educational and material base. Cadets - members of the bureau, under the guidance of teaching officers, acquired an interest in independent technical creativity, in science and technology, in their future military specialty. The command of the school provided the KKB with a large auditorium, in which cadets and teachers equipped a room for a permanent exhibition of exhibits, as well as an assembly hall where electrical installation work was carried out. A mechanical workshop, a shielded chamber, a chemical section, and an office for processing documentation were created for the members of the KKB.
All this contributed to the growth of cadets’ activity in rationalization and inventive work. Members of the KKB participated in the All-Union Review of Scientific and Technical Creativity of Youth. The device for electrical equipment developed by cadets A. Zubkov and Yu. Belyaev under the leadership of Major S. Zelenkov received a high rating. The competition jury noted the rationalization works of cadets L. Dolgikh, A. Kolbyshev, S. Vorobyov, A. Zubrilin. Cadets - members of the bureau produced a training device "Radiotelegraphist", an original model of an oscilloscope, a radio station simulator and much more. All members of the KKB studied "good" and "excellent" and served as an example in military service and discipline.
One of the military traditions of the RVVKUS remained the inextricable unity of training and education. Close patronage relationships connected the school with the teams of the radio plant, RRTA, RGPI, technical colleges and schools. Military-patriotic circles and sections created in a number of educational institutions were led by officers and cadets of the school. The Young Signalman School operated for over 20 years. RVVKUS cadets and officers took an active part in the work of the University of the Future Warrior. Over the course of a number of years, activist cadets, political officers, and teachers of the Department of Social Sciences conducted ski campaigns to places of military glory of the Soviet Army in the Mikhailovsky district. They told local residents about the military traditions of the Armed Forces and performed amateur concerts. At the origins of the campaign runs were lieutenant colonels V.N. Litvin, V.A. Novokreshchenov, senior warrant officer V.A. Gubin, senior lieutenant S.P. Mokshanov.
For first-year cadets, the command organized trips on a ship to Konstantinovo, during which they got acquainted with the past of the Ryazan land. The most indelible impression on future officers was made by their acquaintance with the poetic work of S.A. Yesenina. The best cadet units were encouraged to travel to Moscow. All this helped future signal officers expand their horizons and better know the history of their native land and their homeland.
The play "Fashionable Color - Green" based on the play by Moscow playwright K. Abramtsev, staged on the RVVKUS stage, aroused great interest in the Ryazan garrison. The cadets S. Pyatachenko, E. Morozov, S. Zakharyev, M. Bokelavadze, Yu. Krivosheev, and warrant officer M. Medvedev successfully played their roles. The performance was directed by Colonel S. Drygin and Major E. Rassudimov.
The artists actually played themselves, showing their characters, individual traits and at the same time talking about the everyday life of the army, about the relationships among those entrusted with protecting the peaceful life of the country.
Every year, the school hosted amateur art shows of the units. In 1987, an interesting and informative program was shown to the audience by company cadets under the command of Major E. Kushchev. One of the best programs was prepared by senior students, whose artistic director was cadet S. Seleznev. The audience especially liked the folk dance ensemble led by cadets S. Michurin and A. Pogorelov. The second-year cadets of Major Yu. Maksimov's company pleasantly surprised the audience with their program. The jury members awarded the highest scores to the performances of junior sergeants I. Rozum and V. Kovalchuk, cadets S. Agafonov and E. Muravyov. The show of amateur performances was liked and remembered for a long time by all those present.
Under the leadership of the political department of the school, the Women's Council, which was headed by the wives of officers L.G. Zayats, worked actively. and Aralova N.P. They organized visits to museums, theaters, philharmonic halls, and cinemas for school personnel. We held officer evenings, children's matinees and New Year's parties, and also took under our patronage a kindergarten and a pioneer camp.
Here is what the newspaper "Red Warrior" wrote about the activities of the Women's Council of the RVVKUS: "The wives of officers of the military communications school organized a themed evening, 'There is such a profession - to defend the Motherland.'" The host of the evening, Major A. Arslanov, noted that hundreds of graduates of the school for selfless courage and bravery in battles with the Nazis were awarded orders and medals. The guests of the evening were war veterans Major General Yu.M. Babkov, Lieutenant Colonels N.A. Kireev and M.F. Biloshnichenko, Colonels N.I. Andreev and L.D. Usyskin. comrades are worthily continued by graduate cadets S. Melnikov, P. Vertutin, junior sergeant V. Karpov.Officers who served in Afghanistan, captains N. Tyutvin, A. Petrovichev, senior lieutenant A. Luzhkov, Major I. Zykin, rise to the stage. The audience listened with excitement to stories about how they served in Afghanistan, for which they were awarded orders and medals.The audience held a minute of silence in memory of the fallen RVVKUS graduates Lieutenant G. Pushkin, Lieutenant V. Klimanov, Senior Lieutenant N. Grishin. For war veterans and internationalist soldiers, works by famous poets, as well as poems of their own composition, were performed by L. Zayats, Lieutenant Colonel Yu. Vishnevsky, and Captain N. Tyutvin.
For the school personnel, the command organized collective screenings of feature films at the Oka cinema, meetings with famous film actors E. Matveev, A. Kuznetsov and others. The most striking events from the life of the school were reflected in the local and central media. Educational work had a positive impact on the school staff. At RVVKUS, gross violations of military discipline were eliminated, and in the orders of the Minister of Defense, the school was noted as one of the best among military universities.
Head of the school Colonel M.B. Mazhorov said this about his students: “Our graduates have received good training. They are able and ready to perform all tasks in the troops for the training and education of personnel, use modern communications technology. All graduates understand the burden of responsibility they take on their young shoulders. All signalmen remember that only a perfectly functioning connection can make a commander out of a general.” Graduates said goodbye to the school's Banner - its military relic. The first to receive this honor were gold medalists K. Burovsky, I. Kamensky, V. Karpov, V. Pogashev, Yu. Oleksienko. They were personally congratulated on the successful completion of their studies by the head of the RVVKUS, Colonel M.B. Mazhorov.
Based on reviews of graduates from military units, the school command saw that most of them were aware of their duty to the Motherland and successfully cope with their official duties. Commanders of communications units wrote about lieutenants R. Burnashev, V. Anashkin, A. Bakin, A. Matveev, V. Yushkin, who had proven themselves well in the school, that they were demanding of themselves and their subordinates, hardworking commanders, well-trained educators of personnel. Such reviews testified to the well-thought-out training system for signal officers at RVVKUS and the enormous work of the entire school staff.
In 1987, the Minister of Defense of the Armed Forces of the USSR, Marshal D.T. Yazov, got acquainted with the progress of the educational process in military educational institutions of the Ryazan garrison. When visiting RVVKUS, he heard reports from the head of the school, Colonel Mazhorov M.B. and the head of the political department, Colonel Vishnevetsky V.K. on the training and education of future communications officers. The Minister of Defense of the USSR visited the location of the cadets of the 10th company, where he talked with the battalion commander, Lieutenant Colonel Mostovshchikov A.G. and the company commander, Major A.I. Trofimov. . After familiarizing himself with the educational and material base of the school’s departments, the Minister of Defense briefly summed up the activities of the command and teaching staff and set tasks for improving the training of officer personnel.
In 1991, the Ryazan Higher Military Command School of Communications named after Marshal of the Soviet Union M.V. Zakharov turned 50 years old. During those holidays, the head of the school, Major General Alexander Vladimirovich Rogov, heard the phrase more than once: “We have something to be proud of!” and his words were true. The command of the Signal Corps considered our school one of the best higher military educational institutions. First Deputy Chief of Communications of the Russian Armed Forces, Lieutenant General A.A. Ivanov stated that “it was decided to make the school a basic one, all experiments to reform the educational process will take place here.
During this period, meetings of the leadership of the signal troops and scientific and technical conferences on the problems of reforming military education were repeatedly held on the basis of RVVKUS. In April 1990, under the leadership of the First Deputy Chief of Communications of the Armed Forces, Lieutenant General O.S. Lisovsky organized a conference of higher educational institutions of communications. In the course of its work, the problems of improving the structures and content of new curricula, and the qualitative development of the educational and material base were considered. But special attention was paid to the development of the system of continuous education of signal officers in the system of military schools and higher academic courses.
The problems of reforming military education were analyzed by teachers of military educational institutions of communications, the high command of the communications troops at a meeting in the RVVKUS in 1990. At it, ways of practical implementation of the main directions of the reform of military education were discussed. The RVVKUS command reported on the results of the experiment being carried out at the school to combine the departments of technical communication and communication and the creation of the department of Communications Organizations on their basis.
The problem of moral education of future officers based on the military traditions of the Russian army was acute. “The task is to bring to every cadet the understanding that he serves the people, the Fatherland, and not the party or some group of people. We must raise a smart, intelligent officer, like the gentlemen officers were in Russia, so that our cadet was the bearer of the best traditions of the Russian officer corps,” emphasized the head of the RVVKUS, Major General A.V. Rogov. The meeting participants were familiarized with the educational and material base of the school, which received the highest rating from them. In special classes, teachers demonstrated to the guests the capabilities of training equipment and methods of training future officers to master modern communications technology.
At one of the conferences of the leadership of the Armed Forces, held at RVVKUS, a training base for automotive training was demonstrated. Teachers of the Department of Electricity Supply G.A. Likhachev, S.A. Konin, N.N. Slepenky, A.A. Mironov, warrant officers V.V. Galkin, L.Ya. Klyuchnik, V.V. Trofimenko improved the educational and material base and, on its basis, intensified the learning process. As a result, the teacher “commanded” the operating components and assemblies of the training vehicles from his desk and, by pressing a button, commented on what was said on the screen with a training film.
Gatherings of army physical culture specialists from higher military educational institutions were repeatedly held at RVVKUS on the basis of the Department of Physical Training and Sports. Demonstration classes were held for the guests in various sections of physical training, methods of effectively organizing training sessions, physical exercises and sports activities were demonstrated. At one of the conferences, it was decided to introduce the new “Manual on Physical Training” in educational institutions and in the troops. The fact that scientific and practical conferences and meetings of the leadership of signal troops were held within the walls of the RVVKUS testified to the recognition of the school’s merits in the training of signal officers.
The school was proud, and rightfully so, of its success in rationalization and inventive work. In 1990, the school developed 75 rationalization proposals, received 3 copyright certificates, and submitted 4 invention applications. Every year, RVVKUS scientists published up to 30 scientific publications, which found practical application in military educational institutions and signal troops. For this work, the school staff was awarded a Certificate of Honor from the Chief of Communications of the Armed Forces. A freelance research laboratory was created at RVVKUS, working under economic contracts with various enterprises and institutions. The author of this innovation was the chairman of the educational section of the VOIR, candidate of technical sciences, associate professor, colonel A.F. Gotsulyak. The developments of our inventors have received copyright certificates. Not only military specialists became interested in them, but also enterprises that entered into contracts to carry out scientific research. Ultimately, the school also benefited, since developments were carried out in parallel aimed at improving the quality of the educational process. The funds earned by the laboratory were used to purchase the latest equipment and computers. Subsequently, Colonel A.F. Gotsulyak initiated the creation of school television, known as STS-35 channel.
About 300 cadets were involved in the system of military scientific work annually. Future officers took part in the development of scientific problems and spoke at scientific and practical conferences. Thus, at one of them, the report and development of cadet A. Machula were awarded a diploma from the State Committee for Higher Education. The inventions of cadet A. Naumov were exhibited at VDNH and were awarded three silver medals. The active participation of cadets in rationalization work helped them study successfully and better master complex military communications equipment.
To improve the quality of cadet training, a local digital network based on the Partner 01-01 computer was developed in 1989. Its authors were Colonel Shevkoplyas G.B., Lieutenant Colonel Pravkin V.V., Major Kolokolenkov S.S., who were encouraged by letters of the Ministry of Defense. In 1991, teachers of the Department of Electrical Circuits conducted a pedagogical experiment to introduce a system of qualification tasks into the educational process. Its results were highly appreciated and were recommended for implementation in all communications schools. Lieutenant Colonels Kolokolenkov S.S. and Saprykin V.I. engaged in the development of problems of phonemic analysis of speech and their articles were published in scientific journals. The experimental setup they created was demonstrated in 1993 at the international symposium on computer technology.
In 1990, on the initiative of the head of the department, candidate of technical sciences, Colonel Salamatin V.G. with the support of the head of the school, Major General A.V. Rogov. a training stationary-field automated communication system was created. Its basis was an automated data exchange system, elements of which were deployed at all military-technical departments. Then, message switching centers and subscriber points equipped with data transmission and computing facilities were installed in the department's classrooms.
In order to improve the individual approach to training cadets, the “Historical Club” was formed in 1988, organized by the senior lecturer of the Department of Social Sciences V.M. Zaitsev. . The club's activities were based on the principles of democracy in a scientific association. They implied complete voluntariness in the work, mutual interest of its participants, and competitive selection of those wishing to deepen their knowledge of history. The active work of the “History Club,” as cadet A. Brockmiller wrote, “is facilitated by a creative atmosphere in which all discussions are interesting and with maximum benefit for the cadets.” Cadets - members of the club O. Novikov, Yu. Suglobov, A. Barkovsky, V. Konakov carried out propaganda work, speaking in educational institutions of the city and region. During the preparation for the 50th anniversary of the RVVKUS, cadets V. Zakharov, Yu. Lisovsky, A. Kovalchuk, A. Skomorokhov, D. Kulik took an active part in collecting materials for the newly created museum of the school. They met with veterans of the school and worked in the Moscow military archives . Cadets A. Tikhomirov, K. Kozak, V. Pavlovsky spoke to their comrades on topical problems of public life, and once they, together with the head of the club, were entrusted with conducting a lesson on command training with school officers on the topic “Experience of carrying out military reforms in Russia.” Future officers, as part of the “History Club,” learned to understand current issues in the history of their native country, which undoubtedly helped them improve their professional level.
The school's cadets took an active part in the work and provided communications during environmental expeditions in the Ryazan region. Their organizer and inspirer was doctor M.G. Malakhov, later a participant in Arctic expeditions, Hero of the Russian Federation.
During this period, educational work was further developed, carried out by the command, the political department and the departments of the school. Every week the cadets listened to radio newspapers prepared by T.Ya. Kiseleva. Reunions of excellent students were regularly held throughout the school. Major General A.V. Rogov personally presented each excellent student with an honorary ribbon, a gift and a photograph with the RVVKUS command. Birthdays were regularly celebrated at the Cadet Youth Center (CYC), who were congratulated by the school management. Tables were set for them, pastries were baked, a samovar was set, and the best artists of the school performed their favorite songs. The initiator of this event was Senior Lieutenant S.P. Yakovlev. “Combat Commonwealth” evenings were held in the garrison House of Officers, in which cadets of military schools and the Higher School of the Ministry of Internal Affairs took part. During these events, various competitions, exhibitions, and amateur art concerts were organized. Under Major General A.V. Officers' balls began to be held in Rogov for the first time.
The political department, together with the department of social sciences, developed a ritual for the ceremonial farewell of school officers to the reserve. Associate Professor V.V. Shuvalov describes this ceremony as follows: “Personally, I remember seeing off Colonels F.V. Zavalov, S.P. Rybalchenko, L.N. Kotov, M.Ya. Fateev. The music is solemnly playing in the school club. Major General A.V. Rogov reads out the order on transfer to the reserve and presents a Certificate of Honor from the Minister of Defense of the USSR and gifts from the school staff. At the request of the veterans, their favorite songs are performed.

Excerpt characterizing Rogov, Alexander Semenovich

- Come here. That's important!
They broke the firewood, pressed it, blew it with their mouths and overcoat skirts, and the flames hissed and crackled. The soldiers moved closer and lit their pipes. The young, handsome soldier who had brought the firewood leaned his hands on his hips and began to quickly and deftly stamp his chilled feet in place.
“Ah, mamma, the cold dew is good, and like a musketeer...” he chanted, as if hiccupping on every syllable of the song.
- Hey, the soles will fly off! – the red-haired man shouted, noticing that the dancer’s sole was dangling. - What poison to dance!
The dancer stopped, tore off the dangling skin and threw it into the fire.
“And that, brother,” he said; and, sitting down, took a piece of French blue cloth from his knapsack and began to wrap it around his leg. “We’ve had a couple of hours,” he added, stretching his legs towards the fire.
- New ones will be released soon. They say, we'll beat you to the last ounce, then everyone will get double goods.
“And you see, son of a bitch Petrov, he’s fallen behind,” said the sergeant major.
“I’ve noticed him for a long time,” said another.
- Yes, little soldier...
“And in the third company, they said, nine people were missing yesterday.”
- Yes, judge how your feet ache, where will you go?
- Eh, this is empty talk! - said the sergeant major.
“Ali, do you want the same thing?” - said the old soldier, reproachfully turning to the one who said that his legs were chilling.
– What do you think? - suddenly rising from behind the fire, a sharp-nosed soldier, who was called a crow, spoke in a squeaky and trembling voice. - He who is smooth will lose weight, but the skinny will die. At least I would. “I have no urine,” he suddenly said decisively, turning to the sergeant major, “they told me to send him to the hospital, the pain has overcome me; otherwise you will still fall behind...
“Well, yes, yes,” the sergeant major said calmly. The soldier fell silent and the conversation continued.
“Today you never know how many of these Frenchmen they took; and, to put it bluntly, none of them are wearing real boots, just a name,” one of the soldiers began a new conversation.
- All the Cossacks struck. They cleaned the hut for the colonel and took them out. It’s a pity to watch, guys,” said the dancer. - They tore them apart: so the living one, believe it, babbles something in his own way.
“They’re pure people, guys,” said the first. - White, just like a birch is white, and there are brave ones, say, noble ones.
- How do you think? He has recruited from all ranks.
“But they don’t know anything our way,” the dancer said with a smile of bewilderment. “I say to him: “Whose crown?”, and he babbles his own. Wonderful people!
“It’s strange, my brothers,” continued the one who was amazed at their whiteness, “the men near Mozhaisk said how they began to remove the beaten, where the guards were, so after all, he says, theirs lay dead for almost a month.” Well, he says, it lies there, he says, theirs is how the paper is white, clean, and doesn’t smell of gunpowder.
- Well, from the cold, or what? - one asked.
- You're so smart! By cold! It was hot. If only for the cold, ours wouldn’t have gone rotten either. Otherwise, he says, when you come up to ours, he’s all rotten with worms, he says. So, he says, we’ll tie ourselves with scarves, and, turning our muzzle away, we’ll drag him; no urine. And theirs, he says, is as white as paper; There is no smell of gunpowder.
Everyone was silent.
“It must be from the food,” said the sergeant major, “they ate the master’s food.”
Nobody objected.
“This man said, near Mozhaisk, where there was a guard, they were driven away from ten villages, they carried them twenty days, they didn’t bring them all, they were dead. What are these wolves, he says...
“That guard was real,” said the old soldier. - There was only something to remember; and then everything after that... So, it’s just torment for the people.
- And that, uncle. The day before yesterday we came running, so where they won’t let us get to them. They quickly abandoned the guns. On your knees. Sorry, he says. So, just one example. They said that Platov took Polion himself twice. Doesn't know the words. He’ll take it: he’ll pretend to be a bird in his hands, fly away, and fly away. And there is no provision for killing either.
“It’s okay to lie, Kiselev, I’ll look at you.”
- What a lie, the truth is true.
“If it were my custom, I would have caught him and buried him in the ground.” Yes, with an aspen stake. And what he ruined for the people.
“We’ll do it all, he won’t walk,” said the old soldier, yawning.
The conversation fell silent, the soldiers began to pack up.
- See, the stars, passion, are burning! “Tell me, the women have laid out the canvases,” said the soldier, admiring the Milky Way.

3 ROGOV Alexander Semenovich 215 After the encirclement and defeat of the army, on June 25, 1942, at the head of a group of army headquarters workers, he was one of the last to emerge from the encirclement. The commander of the front troops, Marshal of the Soviet Union K. A. Meretskov, recalled: “I will return to those who, in the most difficult conditions, retained the constant feelings of a Soviet citizen, warrior and soldier until their last breath. Many of them managed to escape from the enemy ring in those difficult days. Among those who came out was the head of the army’s intelligence department, A. S. Rogov. He said that he set out later and was moving along the route of the Military Council. Having encountered enemy mortar and artillery barrage fire, he was forced to stop. No one from the Military Council group was in the area anymore. In June, the fire began to weaken and move towards the narrow-gauge railway. Assuming that a breakthrough had formed there, Colonel Rogov hurried there. And indeed, everyone moving in the direction of the narrow-gauge railway escaped the encirclement, although losses from mortar and machine-gun fire were generally large. In total, 16 thousand people escaped the encirclement. In the battles then, 6 thousand people from the 2nd Shock Army died, and 8 thousand went missing. Thus ended the tragedy of this army.” 1 From October 1942 to October 1943, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Front for Intelligence, Chief of the RO Headquarters of the Southwestern Front. Participated in the planning, preparation and conduct of the counter-offensive at Stalingrad, the Middle Don (December 1942), the Ostrogozh-Rossoshan operation (January 1943), the Donbass strategic operation (August September 1943), the Zaporozhye operation (October 1943).

During the preparatory period, he provided the command with complete knowledge of the enemy, his defense, combat 1 Meretskov K. A. In the service of the people. M.: Higher School, S. 293

During the period of battles and the course of operations, he ensured the receipt of data about the enemy, revealing the enemy’s intentions, which made it possible to better and more defeat the enemy.” (from the award list, January 1943) “Well organized and carried out work on studying the enemy troops, their condition, and accurately and timely gave conclusions, both before the operation of the Southwestern Front from July to September 1943, and during it progress. He skillfully used and applied all types of intelligence and clearly supervised the intelligence department of the front headquarters and monitored the implementation of intelligence tasks at lower headquarters.” (from the award list, September 1943) Army General S.P. Ivanov in his memoirs, recalling the battle for Stalingrad, wrote: “Immediately upon arrival, Grigory Davidovich [Stelmakh, chief of staff of the front] inquired whether Colonel A.S. had arrived. Rogov to the position of head of the intelligence department. Having learned that Alexander Semenovich was not yet there, he said in his hearts: It was necessary to ensure that he, too, was taken on the plane. All their attention, naturally, was focused on finding a convenient crossing across the Don. The army and frontline intelligence officers were mistaken. General A.S. Rogov, who headed this service before the start of the operation, a great expert on China, somehow slowly became aware of the events near the Don. At the same time, Colonel V.G. Romanov found himself relegated to the background, which did not allow this excellent intelligence officer to fully demonstrate his enviable initiative. A.S. Rogov became interested in interrogating Romanian prisoners of war, of whom there were plenty. He compiled a detailed document that deeply analyzed the then state of the 3rd Romanian Army, but since in the future it was necessary to act against the Romanians only sporadically, this material could only have military-historical significance, and nothing else was collected in abundance.” 1 Army General M.I. Kazakov recalled: “The major successes of the troops of the Voronezh and Southwestern Fronts in the January and February days promised a lot. 1 Ivanov S.P. Army headquarters, front-line headquarters.

6 218 CHIEF OF THE RO FRONT In daily intelligence reports from the Southwestern Front, as well as in its final report for February, it was stated that the enemy allegedly intends to leave the territory of Donbass and is withdrawing his troops beyond the Dnieper. Such conclusions were based on an incorrect assessment of the movement of enemy tank columns from the defensive line on the Mius River. Moving almost in parallel with the troops of the right wing of the Southwestern Front to the western regions of Donbass, the enemy’s 1st and 4th tank armies were preparing to launch a counteroffensive from there. And the headquarters of the Southwestern Front mistakenly assessed these movements as a forced retreat beyond the Dnieper.” 1 After the renaming of the Southwestern Front into the 3rd Ukrainian Front, from October 1943 until the end of the war, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Front for Intelligence, Chief of the RO Headquarters of the 3rd Ukrainian Front. Participated in the planning, preparation and conduct of the battle for the Dnieper (October November 1943), Nikopol-Krivoy Rog (January February 1944), Bereznegovato-Snigirevskaya (March 1944), Odessa (March April 1944) operations, Yassko -Chisinau (August 1944), Belgrade (September October 1944), Budapest (October 1944 February 1945) strategic operations, Balaton operation (March 1945), Vienna strategic operation (March April 1945). ).

7 ROGOV Alexander Semenovich 219 “Major General Rogov, during the preparation and conduct of the operation to defeat the 6th German Army, with his tireless work, timely and with sufficient completeness revealed the forces and composition of the enemy operating in front of the front, as well as his regrouping and intentions. He skillfully analyzed the collected data about the enemy and promptly reported his conclusions and proposals to the front command, which contributed to the successful course of the operation.” (from the award list, March 1944) Colonel I.F. Yurkov, head of the corps intelligence during the war, recalled: “On March 26, the head of front intelligence, General A.S. Rogov, flew to army headquarters. He was a man of high military erudition with extensive combat experience as an intelligence officer. He was aware of all events. We did not know what issues he resolved at the headquarters of the 8th Guards Army. We were just guessing.” 1 Marshal of the Soviet Union S.S. Biryuzov, assessing the role of front intelligence in the preparation of the Iasi-Kishinev operation, recalled: “First of all, it was necessary to clarify and supplement the intelligence data about the enemy. In the dead of night, scouts crawled under the very nose of the enemy; probing every piece of land, they looked for minefields, wire fences and other obstacles, and determined how to neutralize them before the attack. Instrumental artillery reconnaissance detected enemy batteries. Aviation conducted surveillance from the air day and night. I must say that our reconnaissance was excellent. On the eve of the Iasi-Kishinev operation, we had such complete information about the enemy that a German general, who was later captured, looked at our reconnaissance map and exclaimed: You copied the location of German and Romanian troops from the map of the headquarters of “Southern Ukraine”! The prisoner was wrong. But when the map of the 6th German Army actually fell into our hands, we ourselves were surprised at its striking similarity with ours. The scouts pleased me with good news: they, it turns out, have special companies of divers ready for action, capable of passing along the bottom of the Dniester and suddenly appear at the location of enemy troops. These companies served us well in the future. The intelligence chief also had one more surprise for me: photographs of enemy positions taken from an Il-2 aircraft. This was a novelty on our front at that time. We all waited patiently to see how effective the ingenuity of the pilots would be 1 Yurkov I.F. Ahead of the attacking squadrons. Odessa: Mayak, S. 133

8 220 CHIEF OF THE RO FRONT And now the pictures have been received. Excellent photos! Even enemy soldiers are visible, running into the trenches from the “winged death”. Both false and real artillery firing positions are clearly visible. What better could you ask for? Our front was famous for its scouts, who often operated deep behind enemy lines. Among them were women. I still remember some of these fearless patriots Maria Fortus, Lina Abramson, Maria Korennaya, Natalya Bystrova. How much valuable information they obtained about the enemy, how they helped us when planning the operation!” 1 Colonel O. A. Grigoriev, during the war years an officer of the RO headquarters of the 3rd Ukrainian Front, recalled: “Major General A. S. Rogov, when the newly appointed officers to the front intelligence department entered his office, shook hands with everyone . He was about forty years old, of average height, a stocky man with a handsome face and a charming smile, calm and balanced. According to Yakobson, Alexander Semenovich was an extremely highly educated and cultured person who knew many languages ​​and was well versed in matters of literature and art. Everyone who had to work with him was amazed at his insight, his ability to foresee the course of events, summarize a lot of facts and draw from them the only correct conclusion in a given situation. “Chief of front intelligence and concurrently chief of staff of the 6th German Army,” this is how Army General R. Ya. Malinovsky, smiling, usually introduced Alexander Semenovich to someone from the high authorities. Rogov's ability to think for the enemy was extraordinary. He taught this to RO officers as well. Constant training taught them to think “threshold-like.” And it is natural that many of Alexander Semenovich’s students went to the positions of chiefs of intelligence of corps, armies, fronts, and in the post-war period headed intelligence of military districts and groups of forces. An interesting statement was made by Army General S.P. Ivanov, at that time the chief of staff of the 3rd Ukrainian Front. “Preparing for the Vienna operation,” he recalled, we closely monitored the enemy. Since mid-February, intelligence officers began to provide data on the concentration of a large enemy tank group in the area of ​​Lake Balaton. When this was reported to the General Staff, they initially reacted with distrust to this message. Army General A.I. Antonov, talking on HF with Marshal Tolbukhin, asked in bewilderment: “Who is 1 Biryuzov S.S. Soviet soldier in the Balkans. M.: Voenizdat, S. 35, 42, 59, 84

9 ROGOV Alexander Semenovich 221 can you believe that Hitler withdrew the 6th SS Panzer Army from the west and sent it against the 3rd Ukrainian Front, and not near Berlin, where the last operation to defeat the fascist troops is being prepared? It was really like that. It was, of course, not easy to fully reveal the enemy’s grouping, to unravel his intentions, and the location of the main attack. But that was precisely the talent of the head of the RO headquarters of the front! He managed to think through and organize all the actions of the scouts in such a way that not a single enemy formation was left out of control."
