Where would neither walked nor drove you ...

Overall gathered for a Roshino usually we go there through May Day, so just shorter. But the road there in the last 3 years has become neproedznoy, pit to pit, so we decided to go through Tsvelodubovo-Lebyazhie.

Starting from Scandinavia there are now completely removed the old asphalt, about 7-8km so, then there is already the fresh asphalt to the base "Raivola." On the way back, because when went there not particularly noticed because thought it was another monument to victims of road accidents in the area n. Lebyazhie, right beside the road, across the wooden bridge over the curb and on the edge of the drainage ditch, almost in the forest saw just such a commemorative plate (on the opposite side of the road is very well seen!).





1. Information about this network is not much, but that's what was given to find: 70 years ago, June 9, 1944, began Vyborg offensive Leningrad Front. This operation was the final stage of the battle for Leningrad. Nowadays events Vyborg operation that unfolded on the Karelian Isthmus, oblivion.

Before the start of the offensive June 9, 1944 was made artillery preparation, which lasted several hours, after which 11 parts of the front part of the 23 army forces conducted a reconnaissance in force, resulting in two places (at Mertuti and in the Dunes) 2 was cut lip front line and created breakthroughs in width and a depth of half a kilometer. On the other directions there was little progress.

June 10, 1944, after another artillery barrage that lasted 2 hours and 20 minutes, the general offensive began on 21 th Army. The greatest success has reached 30 Guards Rifle Corps (45, 63, 64 gvsd) under the command of General Simonyak broke Finnish first line of defense, and moving to a depth of about 12 kilometers along the Vyborg highway. Confront him Finnish 1st Infantry Regiment lost 10 PD 400 people remaining were demoralized and retreating forests, so that before the end of the fighting regiment in hostilities did not accept.

11 June 30 gvsk forces continue to advance along the Vyborg highway towards settlement Kivennapa (May Day), but met with resistance - Finns began to counter two Jaeger Battalion, hastily thrown out of Vyborg. A Soviet tanks along the highway, using the complex nature of the terrain, waiting in ambush antitank battalion - 75mm German anti-tank guns (PaK40).

12 June to 4 am 109 ck force, advancing along the railway to Vyborg, went to the line BT (line Vammelsuu-Taipale). 72 and 286 DM made an attempt to break through the move towards Kuuterselkya (Lebyazhie), but the attempt was repulsed by the defending forces there 53 Infantry Regiment 3 PD - defense line was good enough podgtovlena to withstand shock infantry, supported by only a small number of tanks and artillery. 30 gvsk force, breaking the strip assumption occupy Kivennapa village and go to the BT line passing on the northern outskirts of the village. After three days of the break through the advancing line of defense, which the Finns built three years!

2. Yuri Leibowitz Haritonsky allegedly placed in the same tank as Nicholas Fateev - if the second was the commander of the machine, the first - its driver. As stated in the report, Haritonsky burned in the tank T-60 in the 800 m. South-east d. Kuuterselkya June 12, 1944. Information about the fighter until the very little: from documents that Sergeant Yuri Haritonsky Leibowitz, a native of the city of Vinnytsia region Borislavl republic Ukraine, was called RVC Krasnogorsk Moscow. In the capital, he left a wife - Natalia Haritonskaya. Further in the report begins abracadabra, quote in full: On (k? P?) Ovsky Glebova NKPS Central Hospital, 146 barracks 7 rooms. 7. Math. №8 from 06/14/44. (UPD: understood, meant Pokrovoskoe-Glebovo in Moscow, the Central Hospital of the People Komissarita of Railways).
A little later, in Moscow there were relatives of George Leibowitz Haritonskogo, tankers, who died June 12, 1944 in Kuuterselkya. Along with Nikolai Fadeev they were in one of three burnt T-60 tanks. In Moscow, Yuri Leibowitz left a wife and two children. Contact tankman succeeded with his grandson. He said that a few years ago went with his family to Lebyazhinsky memorial - but then learn something about the fate of his grandfather they failed. All this time they followed the epic with the restoration of the epitaph Nicholas Fateev, but not even thought that their grandfather was in the same tank. In June this year, Yuri Haritonskogo relatives are going to come to us on the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Kuuterselkya.

Grandson tankman Yuri Leibowitz Haritonskogo sent a summary of his grandfather. Let me remind you, Yuri and Nikolai Haritonsky Fateev clashed with the Finns and died in the T-60 in the early morning of June 12, 1944 on the outskirts of the line VT near Kuuterselkya.

Yuri Haritonsky Leibowitz was born in 1917 in the Ukrainian city of Bratslav. In the early 30s, the family moved to Moscow, and Yuri Leibowitz found work on the construction of the hospital. This hospital was called-TSKB№1 NKPS. After its commissioning in August 1937 Haritonsky continued to work there among the attendants. Immediately after the outbreak of war in the hospital was deployed base hospital. As a true member of the Komsomol, Yuri Leibowitz tried several times to leave volunteer at the front, but it was not released - all employees of the hospital was your conscription. Get into the army was only in August 1942 - Haritonskogo still enlisted.
