My favorite actor and a hero!
Many people know and remember the actor Alexei Smirnov Kravchuk (02.28.1920 - 07.05.1979). He gives us the most memorable of comedic roles. One of his "big man" from "Operation Y ..." was worth. He was a great friend of Leonid Bykov and starred in some of his motion pictures on the military theme, such as "scouts" or "go to fight some" old "...
Meanwhile Alex Makarych he passed all the Great Patriotic War and served not anywhere, but in military intelligence. Himself repeatedly went to the rear of the enemy. Holder of two Orders of Glory, Officer of the Order of the Red Star, was awarded the medal "For Courage" and "For Military Merit»
Feats platoon Smirnova
Central Archive of the Ministry of Defence keeps in its bosom red daddy with a personal matter Makarovicha Red Army Alexei Smirnov. He commanded the firing squad of 169 th Mortar Regiment. It has gone from private to lieutenant. Two of the Order of Glory - 2nd and 3rd degree, Order of the Red Star, the medal "For Courage" and "For Military Merit" ... And the next actor brought the war severe concussion, "earned" in the bloody battles of the Oder bridgehead.
Premium list to the order of a third artillery division on September 15, 1944 brief, "accompanies" the first order of Glory Alexei Kravchuk, "June 20, 1944 near the height of the power of the enemy 283 to 40 the Nazis attacked the battery. Comrade Smirnov, inspiring fighters rushed into battle, repulsed the attack of the Nazis. On the battlefield, only 17 Germans, personally captured 7 of the Nazis ... »
One can only imagine the battle. Chetyrehorudiynaya mortar battery hardly has more than a dozen fighters. Yes, and in a counter to go - no artillery bread. And how in the melee can be alone "tie" just seven - are unlikely to explain the current master of martial arts.
The second "glory" he received for the battle near the village of Postashevitse. Mortar, apparently did not cover the infantry, and some cover on the offensive? Again was a German attack, and a close - doling out line in the premium list: "Comrade Smirnov with three fighters rushed to the Germans, and personally killed three of the machine of the Nazis and two captured. January 22, 1945, despite the intense small-arms and artillery and mortar shelling, counting on himself ferried mortar on the left bank of the Oder River, in the battle destroyed two machine-gun and twenty-Nazis. "
In winter, drag yourself to swim the 120-mm barrel with a cast-iron stove and mine - it's like? Oder, among other things, not the narrow creek ...
That's what turns out to be a desperate fighter was our favorite artist Alexei Smirnov. It is a pity that we learned about it recently - it is about the war never spoke.
These films with Smirnov, we will always look:
"Striped flight" (1961)
"Walking the Streets of Moscow" (1963)
"Welcome, or No Trespassing" (1964)
"Operation" Y "and other adventures Shurik" (1965)
"War and Peace" (1965 - 67)
"Aibolit-66" (1966)
"Three Fat Men" (1966)
"Wedding in Malinovka" (1967)
"Go to fight some" old "(1973)
The Order of Glory is, according to experts, the Soviet analogue of the legendary St. George Cross.
The Order has three levels, and awarded them consistently - from third to first. In 2000 in Russia were still alive 350 full gentlemen of the Order of Glory.
On the status of the Order of Glory, they were awarded the rank and file and sergeants of the Red Army (in aviation - and junior lieutenants) who have shown "the glorious feats of bravery, courage and fearlessness." In the list of feats to represent the salvation of the banner, the destruction of up to 50 soldiers and officers, or two enemy tanks, capture the "language", the destruction of a machine gun or mortar behind enemy lines, return after dressing in order, to assist the wounded under fire ...
The basis for rewarding - personal courage.
