Steel grip. Sergei Kirov's daughter commanded a tank company! War has no woman's face

Evgenia Sergeevna Kostrikova was only thirteen when on December 1, 1934, a shot rang out in Leningrad in the Smolny corridor, which ended the life of her father, Sergei Mironovich Kirov ( real name- Kostrikov), First Secretary of the Leningrad Regional Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks.

Zhenya Kostrikova devoted her entire subsequent life to ardent service to the country, which was built by her father Sergei Kirov. The biography of the daughter of a high party leader was similar to the biographies of many of her peers. She made an amazing military career, becoming one of the three Soviet women-tankers, graduates of tank schools.

An orphan with a living father

The younger generation was eager to join the active army - to defend the Land of the Soviets. Many of the then girls and boys dreamed of wearing military uniform and participate in battles. Zhenya Kostrikova was no exception.

The girl's mother died when Zhenya was still very young. Five years later, Kirov was transferred to Leningrad to the post of secretary of the provincial committee of the CPSU (b). How did Sergei Mironovich treat his daughter? There is no reliable information about this. We only know that Kirov was extremely busy. He had no time to raise a girl. In 1926 he married Maria Lvovna Markus. In his new life, he did not find a place for his daughter. Why? Perhaps Maria Lvovna, who turned thirty-one in 1926, still hoped to give birth own child from Kirov, who was a year younger than her. Be that as it may, Zhenya was brought up in a boarding school.

Kirov and his wife never had their own children. By the early 1930s, Maria Lvovna had turned into a seriously ill woman. But such a "state" family life did not change the decision of the spouses to entrust the care of Zhenya to the state. This is all the more strange, because Sergei Mironovich himself was an orphan. About the difficult childhood of the future leader of the proletariat, the writer A.G. Golubeva even created a touching story "The Boy from Urzhum". And in 1934 Kirov was killed by Leonid Nikolaev.

In 1938, Zhenya entered the Moscow Higher technical school them. Bauman. She was definitely a person humanitarian warehouse. But she did not show any intention to become a scientist or engineer, Kostrikova was eager for war. The end of the Spanish Civil War in 1939 was a personal tragedy for her.

Finnish war 1940 also passed by Zhenya Kostrikova: having learned that the Sergey Mironovich Kirov tank went to battle with the Finns, the girl wanted to fight the enemies on it.

From Moscow to Kursk

But Evgenia still had a chance to fight. And with a vengeance. In fact, from the beginning to the end of the Great Patriotic War she was at the forefront.

At the beginning of the war, she completed nursing courses and went to the front as a volunteer. In those years, even the children of high-ranking party members were eager to join the army. Nurse Evgenia Kostrikova was sent to the medical platoon of a separate tank battalion. She bandaged and pulled out the wounded under heavy enemy fire. And not sometime, but in the days of the battle for Moscow. Zhenya, despite her excellent successes as a nurse (for which she was awarded the medal "For Courage", valued and respected by front-line soldiers), dreamed of tanks. Her desires for the time being seemed absurd. It is no coincidence that women are not taken as tankers - after all, for example, in order to squeeze the main clutch pedal of the T-34, an effort of twenty-five kilograms was required.

In October 1942, the battalion in which she served allocated part of the personnel, including almost the entire medical staff, to staff the 79th separate tank regiment. Having unfinished higher education and the qualifications of a nurse, Evgenia Kostrikova became a military paramedic of the regiment.

In December 1942, the 79th Tank Regiment, as part of the Southern Front, took part in Battle of Stalingrad. Soon it was renamed the 54th Guards Tank Regiment of the 5th Guards Zimovnikovsky Mechanized Corps of the 2nd guards army. For the hard battles of 1942, Evgenia Kostrikova was awarded the Order of the Red Star.

And then there was the greatest tank battle near Kursk in the summer of 1943.

There, during one of the battles, Evgenia saved the lives of twenty-seven tankers. Zhenya pulled the wounded out of the burning tanks until she was badly wounded by a shell fragment. For this feat, the nurse was awarded the Order of the Great Patriotic War of the 2nd degree, and a little later, after being wounded, the Order of the Red Banner of War.

But this blonde, with a scar on her cheek now, still rushed into line. They took pity on Zhenya: they found a job for her at the headquarters. But what is there ... She now stubbornly sought a direction to study at the Kazan Tank School and received refusal after refusal. Only the personal intervention of her old acquaintance, Marshal Kliment Efremovich Voroshilov, forced the school leadership to enroll Senior Lieutenant Evgenia Kostrikov as a cadet.

During the Great Patriotic War, about two dozen women became tankmen. All of them, with great perseverance, sought a direction for training in the handling of military vehicles ...

After an accelerated course at the Kazan Tank School, Kostrikova returned to the front. She became one of three Soviet women who were educated in this field.

Finish in Prague

Evgenia Kostrikova became not just a tanker. She, so to speak, made a career in tank troops. There were no similar precedents in the Red Army at that time.

After graduating from college, Senior Lieutenant Kostrikova became the commander of a tank platoon in her native 5th Guards Mechanized Corps. She fought in Ukraine, and in January 1945, when the corps was included in the 1st Ukrainian front, took part in the Vistula-Oder offensive operation.

Then there were the battles for Berlin. By that time, Evgenia Sergeevna was already a captain and commander of a tank company. The brave tanker Kostrikova was written about more than once in the Krasnaya Zvezda newspaper.

And in early May 1945, the “thirty-fours” of the 5th Guards Mechanized Corps made an unprecedented breakthrough through the Ore Mountains to help the insurgent Prague. There, Captain Kostrikova ended the war. For participation in the Berlin and Prague operations, Evgenia Sergeevna was awarded the Order of the Patriotic War, 1st degree.

Life didn't work out

After the war, Evgenia Kostrikova was demobilized. She became a housewife and died, forgotten by everyone, in 1975. Only one of her brother-soldiers came to her funeral - a military doctor.

The personal life of Kirov's daughter did not work out. This was prevented, paradoxically, by her high Soviet origin. During the war, she was in a civil marriage with one colonel, a staff worker. But it turned out that he used his wife's name in order to make a career. Taking advantage of his wife's connections, he was able to quite easily get the rank of general - who would refuse the husband of Kirov's daughter? And after 1945, he calmly returned to his legitimate family, about which he prudently kept silent.

Evgenia Sergeevna experienced this blow very hard. Honest and Strong woman could not endure such meanness on the part of a man who swore eternal love to her. She did not allow more men into her life. She had no children. So she lived alone.

They buried the daughter of Kirov, guard captain Evgenia Sergeevna Kostrikova at the Vagankovsky cemetery of the capital.

During the war years, women fought shoulder to shoulder with men. At the same time, they did not just serve cartridges or make dressings. Some representatives of the weaker sex picked up a machine gun or got into a tank. They held high positions in the Red Army. One of these strong in spirit women was Evgenia Sergeevna Kostrikova.

An orphan without a mother, but with a father

Evgenia was born in 1921 in a family of active politician Sergei Kirov. Being the daughter of her father, she was eager to defend her own country in the active Red Army. Many of her peers, one by one, tried on military uniforms and participated in rather bloody battles. Zhenya followed suit. She didn't have a mother. Shortly after giving birth, she became seriously ill and died. 5 years after the death of his wife, Kirov was invited to take up a post in Leningrad. He, along with his little daughter, moved to an unfamiliar city, where he became secretary of the provincial committee of the CPSU (b). There is no reliable data on exactly how the Soviet revolutionary treated his own daughter. All that is known is that the father was very busy and he simply did not have enough time for a relationship with his daughter. The girl was left to herself.

In 1926 Kirov married again. Maria Lvovna Markus became her chosen one. She was a year older than him and hoped to give her husband an heir. There was no place for the girl in the newly formed family. She was sent to be educated at a boarding school. No matter how hard the couple tried, they failed to have a baby. Moreover, by the 30s, a woman has turned into a person suffering from diseases. But even the absence of her children did not prompt the woman to show at least a drop of concern for Zhenya. Moreover, the father also entrusted the education of his daughter to the state, which is surprising, because he was an orphan. In 1934, Kirov died. He was killed by Leonid Nikolaev.

4 years after the death of her father, the girl entered the Higher Technical School. Bauman in Moscow. She was a person of action and did not possess the mind of hematuria. She showed absolutely no intention of becoming an engineer or a worker in science. She constantly wanted to get to the front. Even the end of the civil confrontation in Spain was a real blow to her. The Finnish war in 1940 also passed her by. And having learned that a tank with the name “S.M. Kirov," she almost fell into despair. After all, she wanted to fight with enemies Soviet people right on it.

Military experience

After the Great Patriotic War began, the girl instantly enrolled in nursing courses. In their composition, she went to the front. There she was assigned to the medical and sanitary platoon of the tank battalion. Together with them, she took part in the battles on Western front Moscow battle. In October 1942, a part of the battalion was detached from the battalion, including almost the entire medical staff. They wanted to equip the 79th tank regiment with these people. Evgenia Kostrikova, who could boast of an incomplete higher education, turned into a military paramedic of the regiment. This was equivalent to the rank of lieutenant of an army unit.

In December 1942, the new 79th Tank Regiment was sent to take part in the Battle of Stalin. A month later, the regiment was renamed. He became the 59th Guards of the 5th Zimovnikovsky Mechanized Corps of the 2nd Guards Army. After the Battle of Stalingrad, the regiment was sent to the Kursk salient, where it joined the Steppe and Voronezh fronts. During this same period, Leonid Yuzefovich Girsh served with Evgenia. He was one of the participants in the battle of Prokhorovka. After the war, he became a writer and poet and spoke quite interestingly about Kostrikova. For the first time he saw a fragile girl at the moment when the enemy bullet did not hit. Evgenia, being a military paramedic, provided him medical care. Only then from the captain medical service he learned that this paramedic was Kirov's daughter herself. Hirsch returned to see and thank Evgenia, but did not find her. As it turned out, she was wounded by a shell fragment. By car, the wounded paramedic was sent to the hospital.

The exploits of Kostrikova

During the fighting on Kursk Bulge Evgenia Kostrikova managed to save 27 tankers. For this she was awarded the Order of the Red Star. After she was wounded in 1943, she was assigned to the Fifth Operations Division of the Mechanized Guards Corps. There she expressed herself not just as a medical worker, but also as a real soldier. The head of the operational department, Colonel Ryazansky, decided to support the young girl in her aspirations. He filed a petition to enroll her in the Kazan Tank School. Initially bosses educational institution categorically did not want to take the girl. However, here Marshal of the country of the Soviets K. Voroshilov helped her. He gave such recommendations, after which simply no one could refuse.

Those who studied a few years older then recalled how Major General Vladimir Zhivlyuk reacted. He was at that time the head of the school and was extremely surprised that a girl showed up for classes. The military was against such an outcome of events, even though the girl held the rank of senior lieutenant. Although he was a tanker, he expressed himself like a real sailor, “A woman on a ship is in trouble.” But this was not his last surprise. Some time later, this fragile girl was spoiled with the medal "For the Defense of Stalingrad."

A miniature girl, just like men, absorbed knowledge related to combat. military equipment. She attended lessons in shooting, driving a tank, studied Morse code. IN classrooms she was one of the best students who thoroughly knew about the nuances of military equipment, her tactical and technical characteristics. She honed her driving skills, both at the training ground, and in simulators and parks. Evgenia with dignity endured all the critical physical exercise. After all, she knew that a very large force was required to control the tank. So, squeezing one clutch lever required the use of a force of 15 kg. And the main clutch pedal requires - 25 kg. In her studies, she was greatly helped by the experience that she received as a field nurse and paramedic. She pulled out more than one mortally wounded soldier on her fragile back.

Kostrikova received her diploma with honors and immediately returned to her native 5th Guards Corps. There she took the position of commander of the T-34 tank. Over time, she rose to the rank of commander of a tank platoon. At the end of the war, she already had the rank of captain and commanded a company. Under her command tank corps crossed the Oder and Neisse. On April 30, 1945, she arrived in Berlin on her tank and with her faithful comrades. On May 5, she was suspended from participation in the Berlin battle, because Prague urgently needed help. In Austria, the girl met the long-awaited victory.

Yevgenia Sergeevna Kostrikova died in 1975 with the rank of guard captain of tank troops. Today she rests at the Moscow Vagankovsky cemetery.
