The weather has been clear, dry and warm for the second week already - warm, of course, as warm as possible in central Russia in the second half of September. When the weakened, lazy autumn sun ceased to warm the earth, slowly sliding down over the jagged wooded horizon, dense, white, like skim milk, crawled out of the damp lowlands. With a silent, slow flood, it flooded the plain, spreading over the riverside meadows and surrounding copses, so that in the morning, at dawn, it would settle with cold dew. In the rays of the low morning sun, the dew flared up with billions of brilliant sparks, but few people noticed this, and those who did not always could appreciate the beauty of the spectacle that opened up to them. The so-called common people, as a rule, do not give a damn about such things - regardless of the country of residence and place of permanent registration, they, the people, have enough other worries - and the people who are not easy in the regional center of Upper Bolotniki have been in short supply for centuries. Even members of the local society of amateur artists and the circle of lovers of poetry, which met twice a week in the city house of culture, as is often the case with representatives of the Russian creative intelligentsia, preferred evening gatherings with port wine to admiring the sunrise. The only exceptions were those cases when the sunrise found them in the bosom of nature, where they fell asleep, unable to reach the house, but even then their cloudy eyes with a hangover remained blind to the discreet charms of the Central Russian landscape. As for the dew, when it was noticed, it was perceived as a cruel mockery of the stepmother-nature over the unlucky child, languishing from excruciating thirst.

But the dew nourished the earth, replacing the autumn rains that got lost somewhere. An incredible number of mushrooms were born this year, and the old-timers, especially the elderly traders in the market, authoritatively asserted that the last time such a phenomenon was observed in the distant forty-first, serving as one of the many signs of great trouble. The ominous subtext of this woman's croaking echoed with the hype raised by the press and television around the end of the world, as if assigned by the Maya Indians for the approaching December.

People of sound mind were skeptical about all this chatter. The sages of the Mayan tribe did not say anything to them personally, and it is difficult to believe what the commercial television channels are talking about, even with very great desire. As for the merchants with their mushroom signs, they are ladies, although very respectable, but still not so ancient as to remember what and how it was in September forty-one.

But few in the city of Upper Bolotniki could think sensibly. There are even fewer people in the world who have this rare gift than those who are able to be touched at the sight of a blossoming flower or a crimson ball of the sun rising above the horizon. Their percentage of the total number of individuals inhabiting a particular locality is approximately the same everywhere - zero whole horseradish tenths with a few zeros after the decimal point. And if at the very least hundreds or even thousands of them are scraped together in megacities, then in provincial towns like Upper Bolotniki, as a rule, the bill goes to units - and well, if not to fractions.

Therefore, all these gloomy rumors - as well as any others - made a very deep impression on the general public of the district center Verkhniye Bolotniki. The majority, traditionally living from bread to vodka, in order not to fall into despair in the face of an impending global catastrophe, resorted to a tried and tested remedy for all sorrows and, waking up in the morning with a sore head, even experienced some disappointment that the end of the world had not come again and it was necessary start all over again. A wealthier minority, with free money, emptied store shelves, sweeping matches, salt, canned food and candles to the top to fill pantries and cellars with this stuff. Survival kits appeared on sale, and a member of the circle of poetry lovers, who works under the pseudonym Yaroslav Morev, wrote:

The last comet will rise

The demons of the seas will rise...

And there, on the verge of darkness and light,

Please love me more!

The poem was published in the local newspaper, and the very next morning, on the gate of the house where the author lived, there appeared an inscription in chalk made by some wit: “The cutlet has already been chewed, the celery is withering on the platter ... I will give you candy, and you give yourself to me soon! » It was not possible to establish the identity of the dirty man who dared to offend the poet: it could be anyone, because in such settlements, like Upper Bolotniki, you can't hide behind a pseudonym, and the real name of piit Yaroslav Morev was known to every dog ​​here.

His name was Alexander Ivanovich Lyalkin. This name, on the whole, quite ordinary, seemed to the versifier not loud enough and euphonious enough to sign with him the verses published in the regional newspaper and lovingly collected in a folder specially allocated for this; for the Upper Bolotnikov, of course, it would have come down, but Alexander Ivanovich aimed much higher and, not without reason, doubted that some Russian pop star would agree to sing songs to the verses of some Sasha Lyalkin. The fact that the numerous proposals of the poet Yaroslav Morev, sent via the Internet, so far remained unanswered, was, of course, not to blame for the quality of the poems, but for the imperfection of the world, in which everything is done under patronage or for big money.

Having neither one nor the other, the poet Morev got his daily bread by teaching the Russian language and literature in high school number two of the city of Upper Bolotniki. He had an unprepossessing appearance, ridiculous incomes, and by the age of forty he had finally taken shape as an inveterate, hopeless bachelor without any prospects for family life. He never enjoyed success with the weaker sex and had long been accustomed to this state of affairs. True, lately he began to catch himself more and more often looking at his students - not high school students, in front of whom he was frankly shy, but those who were younger, years old, so, twelve - fourteen. Their childishly angular forms and touching tubercles that bulged in front of the blouse excited him, drawing his eye. Being a relatively educated person and somewhere even not stupid, Alexander Ivanovich knew the name of this suddenly erupted inclination, but he did not particularly strain about it: further than furtive glances, stealthily thrown at girlish charms that had not yet taken shape, things did not go and could not go because Lyalkin was too timid and shy.

The steam accumulated while spying on the schoolgirls naturally demanded an outlet, and Alexander Ivanovich let it down, secretly visiting the thirty-eight-year-old widow Annushka, who lived in a one-room apartment on the top floor of an old two-story house a couple of blocks from the central square. Annushka was famous throughout the city for her weakness for the male sex; it was clear that in this manner she was trying to arrange her personal life, but the matrimonial encroachments of the cheerful widow did not extend to the teacher Lyalkin: the party that he could make was very unenviable. It was sex without commitment; sometimes Annushka took the trouble to sew a button to his only jacket or to iron his shirt, when even under the jacket one could see how wrinkled it was; Lyalkin, in turn, pampered her with cheap gifts (Annushka did not take money on principle, so as not to be completely and irrevocably branded as a prostitute in the city), and that was all. Once, at the dawn of their sluggish romance, Annushka asked him to hang a shelf in the hallway; after that, the wall had to be re-plastered, Alexander Ivanovich almost lost two fingers on his left hand, and they no longer talked about helping with the housework.

The history of the Great Patriotic War is the history of the people who made our victory truly Great. Today is especially acute, we are aware of what our ancestors had to face, how much sweat and blood they shed so that we could just live, raise children and make plans for the future.

One of these wonderful people was Colonel General, twice Hero of the Soviet Union Arkhipov Vasily Sergeevich. Vasily Sergeevich was born on December 29, 1906 in the village of Tyutnyary, now Argayashsky district Chelyabinsk region in a peasant family. The family was large - lived poorly. Six sons and two daughters - eight half-starved, half-dressed children. Vasya lost his mother in childhood, she died in 1914. The father single-handedly raised eight children. At school, the boy managed to study for only one year. Vasily from the age of 10 began working as a farm laborer in his native village. Before serving in the army, he worked as a laborer at Verkhneklimsky coal furnaces in the Zlatoust region.

In 1928, Vasily Arkhipov was drafted into the ranks of the Red Army. In March 1931 he was sent to study at an infantry school in the city of Odessa, where he studied for about a year, passed the exams and was appointed platoon commander in the 70th rifle regiment 24 rifle division. In April 1932, Vasily Arkhipov was sent to the city of Zhytomyr for retraining courses for command personnel, where he completed tank training courses and was appointed commander of a tank platoon. Vasily learned not only to drive a tank, to shoot accurately from tank cannons and machine guns, but also to command tank units, units and formations.

In 1939-1940. Vasily Arkhipov took part in the war with the Finns. He commanded a tank company of the 112th separate tank battalion of the 35th light tank brigade. He distinguished himself in the capture of the Tala station and in breaking through the fortified enemy line. In these battles, Captain Arkhipov Vasily Sergeevich showed courage and high military skill, personally destroyed 4 tanks. His company destroyed 10 tanks, two artillery batteries, two separate guns and several Finnish fortified points. By decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR of March 21, 1940, Captain Arkhipov Vasily Sergeevich was awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union, with the Order of Lenin and the Gold Star medal.

From December 1941 - Deputy Commander of the 10th Tank Brigade on the Southwestern Front. From June 1942 - Commander of the 109th Tank Brigade of the 16th Tank Corps in the Bryansk direction. At the head of the brigade, he participated in the battle for the Dnieper, Kyiv, Zhytomyr-Berdychiv, Proskurov-Chernivtsi, Lvov-Sandomierz offensive operations on the 1st Ukrainian Front.

In the last of these operations, brigade commander Arkhipov organized a crossing from the course of the Vistula River and skillfully held the exceptionally important Sandomierz bridgehead. In these battles, the brigade first encountered the latest enemy tanks "King Tiger" and destroyed several of them. At the same time, the first tank on the account of the brigade was personally destroyed by the brigade commander, who shot him from the side. He himself was shell-shocked and burned in the tank, after leaving the car he fought in the encirclement along with his crew until reinforcements arrived.

By decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR of September 23, 1944, the commander of the 53rd Guards Tank Brigade of the Guard, Colonel Vasily Sergeevich Arkhipov, was awarded the second Gold Star medal. There were legends about Vasily Sergeevich Arkhipov, his courage and courage on the fronts of the Great Patriotic War. They said that he "does not sink in water and does not burn in fire." And it really was. Perhaps this fame arose because the tank officer actually drowned and burned more than once in a combat vehicle, but he always remained alive and even heavily shell-shocked continued to lead the battle ...

After the war he continued to serve. He commanded a tank division in Germany, armored and mechanized troops of the Turkistan military district, was appointed commander of the 1st Army, which was stationed on the territory of the Democratic Republic of Romania, deputy commander of the Siberian military district.

On July 15, 1971, he was dismissed due to illness with a valid military service in reserve - with the right to wear military uniform clothes.

On June 13, 1985, at the age of seventy-ninth, the heart of the fiery Patriot and the valiant Defender of our Motherland stopped beating. He was buried with special military honors at the Kuntsevsky cemetery of the capital.

In memory of the faithful defender of the Fatherland, on his small homeland in the village of Tyutnyary, now the Argayash district of the Chelyabinsk region, a bronze bust was erected. Streets in the cities of Chelyabinsk, Przemysl, Saratov and in the city of Moscow are named after the twice Hero-General.
