An excerpt characterizing Nuradilov, Khanpasha Nuradilovich
- Attendez, je n "ai pas fini ..." he said to Prince Andrew, grabbing his hand. - Je suppose que l "intervention sera plus forte que la non intervention. Et ... - He paused. - On ne pourra pas imputer a la fin de non recevoir notre Depeche du 28 November. Voila comment tout cela finira. [Wait, I haven't finished. I think that interference will be stronger than non-interference. And ... It is impossible to consider the matter as finished by not accepting our dispatch of November 28th. How will it all end.]And he let go of Bolkonsky's hand, showing that now he had completely finished.
- Demosthenes, je te reconnais au caillou que tu as cache dans ta bouche d "or! [Demosthenes, I recognize you by the stone that you hide in your golden lips!] - said Bilibin, whose cap of hair moved on his head with pleasure ...
They all laughed. Hippolytus laughed the loudest. He was evidently suffering, gasping for breath, but he could not resist the wild laughter stretching his always motionless face.
- Well, here's what, gentlemen, - said Bilibin, - Bolkonsky is my guest in the house and here in Brunn, and I want to treat him, as much as I can, with all the joys of life here. If we were in Brunn it would be easy; but here, dans ce vilain trou morave [in this nasty Moravian hole], it is more difficult, and I ask all of you for help. Il faut lui faire les honneurs de Brunn. [I must show him to Brunn.] You take over the theater, I am society, you, Hippolytus, of course, women.
- We must show him Amelie, lovely! - said one of ours, kissing the tips of his fingers.
“In general, this bloodthirsty soldier,” said Bilibin, “should be turned to more humane views.
“I’ll hardly take advantage of your hospitality, gentlemen, and now I have to go,” Bolkonsky said, glancing at his watch.
- Where?
- To the emperor.
- O! O! O!
- Well, goodbye, Bolkonsky! Goodbye, prince; Come to dinner earlier, ”came the voices. - We take care of you.
“Try to praise the order in the delivery of provisions and routes as much as possible when you talk to the emperor,” said Bilibin, escorting Bolkonsky to the front.
“And I would like to praise, but I cannot, for as long as I know,” answered Bolkonsky, smiling.
- Well, in general, talk as much as possible. His passion is audiences; but he himself does not like to speak and does not know how, as you will see.
At the exit, Emperor Franz only gazed intently into the face of Prince Andrew, who was standing in the appointed place between the Austrian officers, and nodded to him with his long head. But after leaving yesterday's wing, the adjutant courteously conveyed to Bolkonsky the emperor's desire to give him an audience.
Emperor Franz received him, standing in the middle of the room. Before starting the conversation, Prince Andrew was struck by the fact that the emperor seemed to be confused, not knowing what to say, and blushed.
- Tell me, when did the battle begin? He asked hastily.
Prince Andrew answered. This question was followed by other, equally simple questions: “Is Kutuzov healthy? how long ago did he leave Krems? " etc. The Emperor spoke with such an expression as if his whole purpose consisted only in asking a certain number of questions. The answers to these questions, as it was all too obvious, could not interest him.
- At what time did the battle begin? The emperor asked.
`` I can't tell your Majesty at what time the battle began from the front, but in Durenstein, where I was, the army launched an attack at 6 o'clock in the evening, '' said Bolkonsky, becoming animated and in this case assuming that he would be able to present the ready-made in his head a true description of everything that he knew and saw.
But the emperor smiled and interrupted him:
- How many miles?
- Where and to where, Your Majesty?
- From Durenstein to Krems?
“Three and a half miles, your majesty.
- Did the French leave the left bank?
- As the scouts reported, the last ones crossed the rafts at night.
- Is there enough forage in Krems?
- Forage was not delivered in that quantity ...
The emperor interrupted him.
- At what time was General Schmitt killed? ...
- At seven o'clock, I think.
- At 7:00. Very sad! Very sad!
The emperor said he was grateful and bowed. Prince Andrew went out and was immediately surrounded by courtiers from all sides. Affectionate eyes looked at him from all sides and gentle words were heard. Yesterday's outbuilding adjutant reproached him for not staying in the palace, and offered him his house. The Minister of War came up, congratulating him on the Order of Maria Theresa of the 3rd degree, which the emperor had bestowed on him. The Empress's chamberlain invited him to her Majesty. The Archduchess also wanted to see him. He did not know who to answer, and for several seconds collected his thoughts. The Russian envoy took him by the shoulder, took him to the window and began to talk to him.
Contrary to Bilibin's words, the news he brought was received with joy. A thanksgiving service was appointed. Kutuzov was awarded the Grand Cross by Maria Theresa, and the entire army received awards. Bolkonsky received invitations from all sides and had to make visits to the main dignitaries of Austria all morning. Having finished his visits at five o'clock in the evening, mentally composing a letter to his father about the battle and about his trip to Brunn, Prince Andrey returned home to Bilibin. At the porch of the house occupied by Bilibin, there was a chaise half packed with things, and Franz, Bilibin's servant, with difficulty dragging a suitcase, went out the door.
Before going to Bilibin's, Prince Andrey went to the bookstore to stock up on books for the trip and sat in the shop.
- What's happened? Bolkonsky asked.
- Ach, Erlaucht? - said Franz, with difficulty loading the suitcase into the chaise. - Wir ziehen noch weiter. Der Bosewicht ist schon wieder hinter uns her! [Ah, your lordship! We go even further. The villain is on our heels again.]
- What's happened? What? - asked Prince Andrey.
Bilibin went out to meet Bolkonsky. Bilibin's always calm face was worried.
- Non, non, avouez que c "est charmant," he said, "cette histoire du pont de Thabor (bridge in Vienna). Ils l" ont passe sans coup ferir. [No, no, admit it is lovely, this story with the Taborsky bridge. They crossed it without resistance.]
Prince Andrew did not understand anything.
- But where are you from that you do not know what all the coachmen in the city already know?
- I am from the Archduchess. I heard nothing there.
- And did not you see that they fit everywhere?
- I have not seen ... But what's the matter? Prince Andrew asked impatiently.
- What's the matter? The fact is that the French crossed the bridge that protects Auesperg, and the bridge was not blown up, so Murat is now running along the road to Brunn, and tomorrow they will be here.
- Like here? Why didn't they blow up the bridge when it was mined?
- And I'm asking you. Nobody, and Bonaparte himself, knows this.
Bolkonsky shrugged his shoulders.
“But if the bridge is crossed, it means that the army is also lost: it will be cut off,” he said.
“That’s the thing,” Bilibin answered. - Listen. The French are entering Vienna, as I told you. Everything is very good. The next day, that is, yesterday, gentlemen marshals: Murat Lann and Belyard, sit on horseback and go to the bridge. (Note, all three are Gascons.) Gentlemen, says one, you know that the Tabor bridge is mined and countermined, and that in front of it is a formidable tete de pont and fifteen thousand troops, who were ordered to blow up the bridge and not let us in. But our sovereign Emperor Napoleon will be pleased if we take this bridge. Let's pass the three of us and take this bridge. - Let's go, others say; and they go and take the bridge, cross it, and now with the whole army on this side of the Danube are heading towards us, towards you and towards your messages.

Khampasha Nuradilovich Nuradilov was born in 1924 in the village of Minai-Tugai, Khasavyurt District, Dagestan Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, into a poor Chechen family. Having lost his parents early, he was brought up with relatives. He studied at school, in 1938 he became an oil worker. Joined the Komsomol. In 1940, Kh. Nuradilov was drafted into the Soviet Army. In October 1941, Khanpasha destroyed 120 Nazi soldiers with his machine gun and took seven prisoners. In January 1942, he destroyed 50 fascists and suppressed 4 enemy machine guns.

By the decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR on April 8 / according to other sources on April 17/1943, senior sergeant X. Nuradilov was posthumously awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union. Fearless machine gunner On one of the December days of 1940, I was in the 34th cavalry regiment on business, I was interested as an instructor in the political department of the 3rd Red Banner Bessarabian cavalry division named after G.I. The deputy commander of the regiment was a respected by all, an experienced political worker and a wonderful equestrian athlete, battalion commissar Pavel Porfirievich Brickel, the propaganda instructor of the regiment was Sagit Marakhoev. After the exchange of views, we looked into one of the classrooms. A young Red Army soldier was sitting at the armory table. Small in stature, thin, with black eyebrows, sullen gaze, apparently, a native of the Caucasus. On the table were parts of a heavy machine gun. I was interested in this fighter. I asked; - What's your last name? He, poorly pronouncing Russian words, replied: - My names are Nuradilov. - Where did the division come from? - Caucasus, Khasavyurt district. Aul Minai-Tugai. It will be far away. - And who is by nationality? - My akynet. I did not know such a nationality, although many Caucasian Red Army men always served in our division. I asked Marakhoev. He shrugged, too. Nuradilov explained: - Akkynets is a small people, called a Chechen. The clan is such a Chechen. Mountain people. - What are you, comrade Nuradilov, a machine gunner? - Not. My rideable machine gun cart. We want to teach a machine gun. Only the difficult part has names. At this time, the commander of the machine-gun platoon, Lieutenant Oleg Vasilyevich DeWitt, entered the class. He said: - Nuradilov is a diligent fighter. Riding exemplary, loves horses. He really wants to become a machine gunner, but he still has a hard time with the Russian language. At political classes, due to his poor knowledge of the Russian language, he is embarrassed to speak, although it is felt that he knows the material and correctly understands the events that are taking place. I attached to him a junior sergeant of the Komsomol member Kolesnikov to help him, so he teaches him the Russian language. Pavel Porfirevich immediately instructed the secretary of the Komsomol organization of the squadron, Sergeant Gridnev, to take patronage over Nuradilov and other Red Army men who knew little Russian and help them. This is how my first acquaintance with Khanpasha Nuradilov took place. In the winter of 1940, the division's units were summing up the results of the competition to save horse personnel. I also had to participate in one of the commissions. We checked the horse composition of the 34th cavalry regiment. The commander of the regiment was Major Sergei Trofimovich Shmuylo, a competent officer and a lover of sports and horses to match his deputy for political affairs, Brickel. He meticulously let every squadron pass. The commander of the machine-gun squadron, Senior Lieutenant Kalchenko, was also there. “Are they horses,” he said to me, pointing to the horses of the 3rd squadron. - Now you will look at mine. I have a riding Chechen Nuradplov, so he has four - not horses, but lions. The best in the squadron, you'll see for yourself. - What is this Nuradilov? Isn't that the one that wants to become a machine gunner, but is not on good terms with the Russian? I asked. - He is. How do you know him? I told him how I met with Khanpasha. Kalchepko and I went up to the machine gunners. I looked at Nuradilov. He already had a rather gallant appearance, even seemed to have grown up. Khanpasha kept stroking and preening his favorites, whispering something to them in Chechen. When I quietly asked the platoon commander Kuliev what he was whispering to the horses, Kuliev smiled: “He asks them not to let him down. That he will love them even more and take better care of them. At the brood, the Nuradilov quartet received high marks. To which Major General Maleev was stingy with praise, and even then he could not resist and threw out: - Comrade Shmuylo, we need to encourage this driver. He has good horses, you will not say anything. Kalchenko could not stand it and with a wide smile on his high-cheekbone face again approached me: - Well, what did I tell you? Let's take the first place. It's like giving a drink. Heard how Maleev praised my Nuradilov? But you yourself know that you will not soon receive gratitude from him. In the spring of 1941, regimental tactical exercises began. They worked out the issues of oncoming engagement, offensive and defense. We usually held such exercises in the fall, but this year they began in the spring. Part of the units of the 34th Cavalry Regiment defended themselves on high-rise buildings near the village of Draga. The main forces were advancing. During the training, it was necessary to cover the left flank of the attackers. Brickel made a decision: to put forward machine guns (the regiment commander Shmuylo was absent and the regiment was commanded by Pavel Porfirevich) and suppress the firing points of the "enemy". Nuradilov, like other sleds, was just waiting for this order. At full gait, Nuradilova's carriage rushed to the indicated place. He famously, at full gallop, turned the cart 360 degrees, and Kolesnikov was the first to open fire on the "enemy". A few minutes later, the four, controlled by Nuradilov, moved the machine gun to another location. Nuradilova's tachanka maneuvered at great speed, inflicting fire on the "enemy". The work of the machine-gun crew of Kolesnikov was observed by the divisional commander Maleev and the intermediaries. They praised the actions of the machine gunners. During the analysis of the exercise, General Maleev especially emphasized the quick and skillful actions of the crew of Sergeant Kolesnikov and the riding Nuradilov. He expressed gratitude to them. Once, in a conversation with Kalchenko, I asked: - Did Nuradilov learn to shoot from a machine gun? “You know, he turned out to be a capable guy. I studied the machine gun. The castle with closed eyes disassembles and assembles. Shoots well, even better than some machine gunners. As I look, maybe I'll assign it to the second number. We had this conversation on the eve of the warriors. Lieutenant DeWitt, Sergeant Kolesnikov, platoon commander Senior Sergeant Gridnev and his comrades in the machine-gun platoon did a lot in training Nuradilov as a machine gunner. From the beginning of the war he became the commander of the regiment. P. P. Brickel. Our forced withdrawal from the border was accompanied by heavy rearguard battles. The division had to fight the Nazis in different bridges - near Zlochevo, Ternopil, Volochinsky, Kazatin, Kiev, in the Tarashcha region, on the Psel river, near Bogodukhov, Dergachi (in the Kharkov region). At the end of September 1941, the 34th Cavalry Regiment took up defensive positions near the village of Savintsy (on the Psel River west of Poltava). At that time I had to be in the regiment. In the morning, heavy shelling began from the enemy's side. Then the Germans went over to the offensive in large forces, tanks were moving in front. The regiment found itself in a semi-encirclement, suffered serious losses. Brickel ordered the units to withdraw to the eastern bank of the Psel River, across which was the only bridge; from the bombing it caught fire. The Germans were pressing. At this time we saw a machine-gun cart rushing across the bridge. It was difficult to make out who drove the horses - smoke and dust interfered. But the daredevil safely broke through the bridge, which was burning in several places. In the evening, Marakhoev and I were in the machine-gun squadron. Kalchenko said that during the enemy attack, the regiment was cut into two parts. The situation is very dangerous. Minutes decided. Nuradilov helped out. He loaded two machine guns onto the cart, laid down two wounded, and rushed to the bridge in full swing. Miraculously, he jumped up and remained unharmed. When it became known to Brickel, he immediately ordered that Khanpasha be presented for the award. When I returned, I told the senior battalion commissar Magomet Akhmetovich Britaev about this feat in the political department. He listened to me attentively and said: - We need to keep a record of the heroic deeds of the Kotovites, write them down in Nuradilov's notebook. This case should be noted in the political report to the head of the political department of the corps, which I willingly did. In early November, our division was withdrawn from the battle for replenishment and rest. We settled down in the town of Budyonny, Voronezh region. Here I, once talking with the political instructor of the machine-gun squadron Bochkov, asked Nuradilov. The political instructor immediately perked up: - I am thinking to talk to him about admission to the party. A good fighter: humble, hardworking, courageous, and most importantly, stubborn. All the time he strove to become a machine gunner. Painfully loves to tinker with a machine gun. The squadron commander assigned him number two to Kolesnikov. I got my way. I learned to speak Russian well. Satisfied that he was appointed a machine gunner. After a short respite on November 27, the 3rd Cavalry Division moved north - to the area of the Kastornaya station. Here the division was included in the mobile group of the Southwestern Front, headed by Lieutenant General F. Ya. Kostenko. On December 6, 1941, the famous Yelets offensive operation began. Despite the severe cold, our horsemen energetically rushed into battle. The 34th cavalry regiment received the task of driving the Germans out of the village of Zakharovka and continuing the offensive along the western bank of the Olym River in the direction of the village of Navesnoe. The cold drove the Germans into their huts. At night, dismounted squadrons from both sides approached the village. A night fight ensued. In this battle, machine gunners especially distinguished themselves, and in particular Kolesnikov's crew, which included Khanpasha Nuradilov. They cut off the escape route of the Germans to Alekseevka and Turchaninovo with their fire. They inflicted heavy losses on the enemy. In this battle, Kolesnikov died, and Nuradilov was wounded, but he was also wounded, he managed to repel the counterattacking group of the Nazis. The Brickel regiment in the battles for Zakharovna and Alekseevna was defeated up to two battalions of the enemy's 95th infantry division. No less successfully on December 16-17, Nuradilov acted with his crew in the battles for the large village of Shatilovo, where he destroyed up to a hundred fascists and ensured the exit for the regiment's units to the Yelets-Orel railway line. They spoke of him in the regiment as a brave and skillful machine gunner. For successful hostilities in the Yelets operation, our 3rd Cavalry Division was transformed into the 5th Guards Cavalry Division named after G.I.Kotovsky, which was a great honor for us. This was the share of military labor and Khanpasha Nuradilov, who during the operation exterminated up to two hundred Nazis and captured more than a dozen people, for which he was awarded the Order of the Red Star, was appointed commander of the machine-gun department with the assignment of the military rank of guard sergeant. It must be said that awarding a private with the order in 1941 was considered a very high award. While there were few order bearers in the division. For almost the entire winter of 1942, we had to fight in the Oryol and then in the Kursk region. I remember this episode. In February, the Brickel 17th Guards Regiment received the task - together with the units of the 1st Guards Rifle Division of General Russiyanov, to destroy the enemy base in the area of Golovinka station (east of the city of Shchigry). In this operation, Brickel was entrusted with the task of covering the Shchigry-Cheremisinovo highway. At this time, the Germans began to push large forces from Shchigry. A skirmish ensued. The Nazis were pressing. The squadrons backed away. Nuradilov was ordered to remain in place and cover the retreat of the squadrons with fire. And the sergeant with his crew brilliantly coped with the task. When he ran out of ribbons, he left his partner Fedorov at the Maxim, and he himself crawled to the killed Germans and collected the cartridges. Here Nuradplov killed up to 150 fascists. In March 1942, we began fighting on the Northern Donets (northeast of Kharkov). The 17th regiment was advancing on the village of Bayrak. The enemy snapped hard. Nuradilov's machine-gun squad was assigned to the 2nd squadron of senior lieutenant Ryzhkov. When the squadron almost reached the village, an enemy machine gun hit it. He hit from the bunker. Nuradilov well understood that the bunker cannot be suppressed from the "maxim". He sent a soldier with grenades. He did not reach - he died. The second soldier was also killed. Then Khanpasha crawled on his own. He snuck up to the bunker from the back side, choosing the right moment, threw two grenades into the embrasure one after the other. The bunker fell silent. This helped Ryzhkov to break into Bayrak. Soon the enemy infantry headed towards the height where Nuradilov was located. Khanpasha let the Germans in 100 meters and shot them almost completely. For the battles near Kharkov, he was awarded the Order of the Red Banner. He served as assistant platoon commander, and actually commanded a platoon. Machine gunner Nuradilov blocked the enemy's path at Olkhovatka, Valuyki, Kamenka, on the Don. At the end of August 1942, the 5th Guards Cavalry Division, having crossed the Doi near the village of Bukanovskaya, engaged in fierce battles with the Nazis on the distant approaches to Stalingrad. The 17th Guards Cavalry Regiment received the task to capture the heights of 217.4, 220.0, to prevent the Germans from breaking through to Serafimovich and to the Don crossings. The regiment had to face the officer's penal battalion, which firmly held the height of 217.4. He was helped by Nuradplov, who with two machine guns made his way to the rear and suppressed the firing points. At this time, squadrons hit from the front, successfully captured height 217.4, and then 220.0. In early September, exceptionally heavy bonds flared up in this direction. Only on September 1, we had to repel 38 tanks and up to an infantry regiment. On September 12, a strong battle began in the morning. The situation was complicated by the fact that the enemy wedged into the defenses of the 17th and 22nd regiments, threatening with encirclement. At this critical moment, Nuradilov appeared on the slopes of a nameless height with his "maxims". He mowed down hundreds of fascists in well-aimed bursts, forced the Nazis to turn back. At this time, Khanpasha was wounded in the leg, but remained in the ranks. The enemy opened heavy fire before a new attack. I had to change positions. II when the Germans went again, Nuradilov met them with destructive fire. The enemy could not stand the well-aimed bursts and rolled back. A mine exploded near Nuradilov. The shard hit my chest. The wound was fatal. The comrades carefully loaded a hundred on a cart, but on the way to the medical battalion Khanpasha died. So the life of a remarkable patriot of the Motherland, a brave machine gunner, guard sergeant Khanpasha Nuradilov was interrupted. He selflessly fought a hated enemy. On his account, 920 killed Nazis, 12 prisoners, 7 captured machine guns. When the commander of the guard division, General NS Chepurkin, was reported about the death of Nuradilov, he ordered to urgently draw up the material for conferring the title of Hero of the Soviet Union on him. - It's a pity for Nuradilov, he was a good machine gunner, just a talented machine gunner. We must do everything possible so that Nuradilov's feat becomes the property of the entire division, so that Nuradilov becomes an example for everyone of fulfilling his military duty, courage and the ability to beat the enemy, - said the general. We in the division issued a leaflet, though it was typed on a typewriter, which said about the heroic deeds of Nuradilov and the fact that he was nominated for the title of Hero. Later, a leaflet was published by the political department of the corps, dedicated to Khanpasha Nuradilov. On October 21, 1942, the Krasnaya Armiya newspaper published a large article "The Valiant Knight of Our Motherland" by M. Huseynov, and on October 31, the Izvestia newspaper published an article by M. Ruzov "The Son of the Caucasus". We kept these newspapers for a long time, they carried political information on them. On the eve of the Battle of Stalingrad, the Political Administration of the Don Front issued an appeal leaflet, which spoke of Khanpasha Nuradilov as a knight of the Fatherland, a mountain eagle, who destroyed up to 920 fascists from his machine gun. This document was of great importance in educating front soldiers, raising morale, selfless fulfillment of their military duty to the Motherland, to the Soviet people. Nuradilov was buried with military honors in a mass grave in the village of Bukanovskaya, Stalingrad region. The homeland highly appreciated the feats of arms of Khanpasha Nuradilov. By the decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR of April 17, 1943, he was posthumously awarded the high title of Hero of the Soviet Union. The name of the brave machine-gunner Khanpasha Nuradilov is carved on one of the slabs of the monument-ensemble in Volgograd. His life and deeds should always serve as an example for our youth.
