Explanatory note

According to the Russian Committee of War Veterans, more than half a million soldiers and officers of the Great Patriotic War are still considered missing. To establish the names and fates of these soldiers, to restore social justice to the forgotten defenders of the Motherland, but in fact to show concern for the social protection of family members of military personnel is the duty of the state. This state task is solved by young people - members: search teams, local history circles and just teenagers who are not indifferent to the fate of the soldier and their small homeland.

The most important goal of modern domestic education and one of the priority tasks of society and the state is education, social and pedagogical support for the formation and development of a highly moral, responsible, creative, initiative, competent citizen of Russia.

In the nomination “Methodology for organizing and conducting search work, work to perpetuate the memory of the fallen defenders of the Fatherland”, I present the work on the topic “Methodology of work to perpetuate the memory of the dead fellow villagers. Book of Memory.

Relevance. June 22, 1941 is one of the most tragic dates in the history of our people. It was on this day that the Great Patriotic War of the Soviet people against Nazi Germany began. In the Alekseevsky district of the Kuibyshev region, active mobilization was carried out in the first days of the war - from June 23 to July 6, 1941. A total of 3557 people went to the front, more than two thousand did not return from the battlefields. In every village, town there are families that were affected by this war. People with love and respect keep letters from the front, personal belongings of those killed on the fronts and those who died after the war.

Many years have passed since the victory in the Great Patriotic

war. During this time, several generations of Russians were born and raised. They know almost nothing about the war.In the family, one can hear less and less talk about those terrible years in the history of our country.At home, in most cases, parents simply do not know what to tell. The veterans who fought at the front are over 80 years old. They are getting smaller every day. There is a threat of losing the historical memory of the great feat of our Motherland, of the people who forged the victory...

Main part

For several years, I was the leader of the "Young Local History" circle, currently I teach history and am the class teacher of the 7th grade. In the patriotic education of students in the lessons of history and local history, I use different forms and methods of work, in which I assign a large role to the author's program "Native Land".

At class hours, we raise questions about the civil, patriotic, legal education of young people, about the problems of the country, city, family, and the younger generation. The school hosts many events dedicated to the memorable events of Russian history. For several years I have been holding the "Memory Watch", the Day of Sorrow in the day camp, at the school there are reviews of formation and bearing, patriotic song contests, etc. Every year, rallies are held at the obelisks dedicated to Victory Day with the participation of veterans of the Second World War, residents of settlements. Themed weeks and the campaigns “They need our help”, “A bouquet for a veteran”, “My gift to a veteran”, “A veteran lives nearby” have become traditional. Every year, rallies dedicated to Victory Day are held at the obelisks with the participation of veterans of the Great Patriotic War, labor veterans, residents of settlements, and representatives of labor collectives. But of all the events held, the events related to the events of the Great Patriotic War and the conflicts in Afghanistan have the strongest emotional coloring and educational power. Of great importance are meetings with eyewitnesses of those events. But in our villages Ilyichevsk, Leningradsky, the village of Kalashinovka, not a single participant in the hostilities in the Great Patriotic War remained alive. But there are veterans living next to us who were 10-11 years old during the war years, they can tell teenagers about everyday work during the difficult war years.

In 2009 - 10 academic years. At a meeting of the “Young local historian” circle, it was decided to collect information about our fellow countrymen - participants in the Great Patriotic War and capture this information in the form of their own book, the name of which is “The Book of Memory. Live and remember ... ".

In 1994, the Samara Book of Memory was published, and there, most of the list of soldiers are missing, we had to bring this entire array into our introductory lists in order to work on them. We do not have specialized publications on the missing.

In search work, everything is passed through one's own hands and souls. This is how the study and preservation bit by bit of national history takes place - this is real, effective patriotism, in contrast to pseudo-patriotic speeches from various stands. Each fate of a fallen warrior saved by the search engines complements the national history, makes the past era visible through the study of its specificfacts and details.

We began our work on searching for data on fellow countrymen from studying the materials of the “Book of Memory” of the Samara Region of the Alekseevsky District, published in 1994, V.7. They chose the names of fellow countrymen who fell on the battlefields during the Great Patriotic War, compared them with the list on the obelisks to the fallen soldiers in the village of Kalashinovka, the village of Leningradsky and the village of Ilyichevsky. As a result of the comparison, it was revealed that there are names of soldiers from the village of Ilyichevsky that were not published in the “Book of Memory” - these are Bochkarev N.I., Lobin A.G., and Koval Sergey Ivanovich from the village of Leningradsky. We also found that there are warriors recorded in the Book of Memory, but not listed on the obelisk: natives of the village of Goryainovka Zarechin Mikhail Gerasimovich, Tyukalov Petr Ivanovich.

From the Book of Memory it is known that Yurin Yakov Ilyich died in 1941 and was buried in the village of Yablonevo, Tula region. On the Internet, we found information that he was reburied in a mass grave in the village of Zaoksky, Tula Region. It is suggestive that Yurin Ya.I. listed in the lists of the dead on the monuments in the village of Ilyichevsky and the village of Kalashinovka.

In the Samara Book of Memory Zhdanov Pavel Elizarovich is listed as dead in 1942, only two lines. But we received documents containing the following information: on July 13, 1942, the soldier received a through shrapnel wound. Due to the severity of the wound, he died on August 11, 1942 in the 2nd Clinical Hospital. Pavel Elizarovich was buried in Moscow at the Preobrazhensky cemetery in a mass grave, plot No. 48, grave No. 55. Now we have documentary evidence about our fellow countryman.

“Cherepkov Pavel Sergeevich, born in 1926 Private. He died in 1945" - just one line written in the Book of Memory. But on site"People's feat"we found the following information: “Drawn to the army in October 1944, served on the 3rd Ukrainian Front…

In offensive battles on April 9-10, 1945, he personally acted bravely, overcoming a two-kilometer water barrier, brought cartridges to a machine gun, and ensured uninterrupted firing at the enemy. Personally, participating in the attack of the enemy, he was the first to break into his location and destroyed the enemy’s light machine gun with grenades. In this battle Comrade. Cherepkov was killed. For personal courage and courage in battle ... Comrade. Cherepkov is worthy of being awarded the Order of the Patriotic War II degree posthumously.

We read the following mean entry: “Kharin Petr Romanovich, born in 1919, Private. Killed in 1943." We would never know what our countryman was like, since relatives from the village left long ago, and we don’t know where to look for them. And from the award list dated March 22, 1942, we learn about Pyotr Romanovich that he was an excellent, disciplined soldier. “Working as a tractor driver for the evacuation of military vehicles, in a short period, despite severe frosts and snowstorms, he towed 8 T-60 and T-34 tanks to the loading station, making marches from 60 to 100 km. His tractor is always ready to perform combat missions ... The medal "For Courage" is worthy of the government award.

Paramonov Pavel Nikonorovich's grandson lives in the village of Ilyichevsky, who remembers that his grandfather had awards, but for what, and by whom he served during the war, is unknown. We found award sheets in which we read: “Paramonov P.N., senior sergeant, riding battery of 76-mm cannons of the 392nd rifle regiment of the 73rd rifle Novozybkov Order of Lenin of the Red Banner Order of Suvorov Division. At the front since December 1941. He had two wounds - in 1942 and 19444. He was awarded the medal "For Military Merit" on 12/17/1943 and the Order of the Red Star on May 25, 1945.

During the Patriotic War Comrade. Paramonov accurately and accurately carried out all the combat missions of the command. During the offensive battles in the winter and spring of 1945, he was often in combat formations, carrying out instructions for the preparation of party documents and conducting combat conversations with the fighters as a grassroots agitator. In battles under heavy enemy fire, he inspired the fighters with his soldier's word and call for a heroic struggle. On March 24, 1945, east of the village of Gruinsberg, going on the offensive with the soldiers, comrade. Paramonov destroyed several German soldiers…” Relatives were glad that we found information, now we have something to tell our great-grandchildren about the heroic ancestor.

We have updated information about some participants in the Great Patriotic War. Kurov Aleksey Nikitovich, a native of the village of Letnikovo in the village of Ilyichevsky, is known and remembered not only by the older generation, but also by young people. A veteran of the Great Patriotic War, Labor was a frequent guest at ceremonial events at the school. He spoke little about himself, about the military time. It is known that he was called to the front in 1943, had the rank of sergeant, was the commander of the rifle squad of the 26th rifle division, 312th regiment. Fought on the Second Baltic Front. He was awarded the Order of Glory III degree, the medal "For Courage", etc. For us, local historians, an archival document is of great importance - the award list of Sergeant Kurov A.N. dated June 2, 1944. In it we read: “... He was a participant in the battles on March 26-27, 1944, when crossing the Velikaya River and breaking through the enemy’s defenses. At the head of his squad, he participated in repulsing the enemy counterattack on March 31, 1944. With an example of personal courage and courage, he carried the fighters to military exploits. In a grenade battle and fire from a machine gun, he destroyed 3 Nazis in this battle. Worthy of the government award of the Order of Glory III degree. There is also an order to award the medal “For Courage” dated June 22, 1944: “... the fearless junior commander proved himself in repeated offensive battles with the German invaders. Being on the defensive, he was the first to open a record of the extermination of the German occupiers. With a well-aimed shot from a rifle, he destroyed a German soldier.

The younger brother of Katyshev Nikolai Mikhailovich lives in the village of Ilyichevsky,during the war years, who was 11 years old. Grigory Mikhailovich remembers from his brother's story that he was awarded the medals "For Courage" and "For Military Merit" and no more details. Now we can say with confidence for what merits Nikolai Mikhailovich was awarded government awards. Katyshev N.M., born in 1922, corporal, reconnaissance officer of the 433rd Fighter Anti-Tank Division of the 318th Infantry Novorossiysk Division. He had two minor wounds - in September 1943 and in May 1944. “Being a scout for a year in the division, I spotted 10 firing points on the front line of the enemy. During the battles for Novorossiysk, simultaneously acting as a messenger and telephone operator, three times under heavy enemy artillery fire he eliminated gusts ... On September 18, 1943, delivering a combat order under heavy enemy fire, comrade. Katyshev was wounded ... ". We also learned that Nikolai Mikhailovich took part in the battles for Sevastopol, where he showed his best qualities. According to his tips, 4 enemy firing points were destroyed. Grandchildren and great-grandchildren can be proud of their great-grandfather.

We believe that we have collected a large and important material about our countrymen, participants in the Great Patriotic War. All information is systematized and framed in the “Book of Memory. Live and remember…”, which contains materials about veterans: photographs, copies of certificates, a military ID, books of a Red Army soldier. Photocopies of medals and orders of war veterans, archival documents - award lists, award orders are presented.

We also created a small stand - an exposition, which has three sections: "They defended the Motherland", "Battle for Leningrad", "Children to the front".

The exposition gives us an idea of the heroic labor and combat path of our countrymen during the war years. We, the younger generation, should never forget the price at which we got a happy and cloudless childhood. We must live and remember the people who gave us peace on earth.

In the future, we plan to create a museum of local history at the school, where the material we have collected about fellow countrymen participating in the Great Patriotic War will be presented.

The theoretical and practical significance of the study lies in the fact that as a result of the work done,systematized and summarized data on 65 of our countrymen, participants in the Great Patriotic War. We are working on the compilation of Books of Memory about the soldiers of three settlements: the village of Ilyichevsk, the village of Leningradsky, the village of Kalashinovka. Our material can be used by both students and teachers in their work, as well as in class hours and school-wide events.

Our research is not over yet, we continue to collect information, and will supplement our Memory Books.

The memory of a people is its history. It is she who unites us all. A person without memory is nothing. A people without history is inconceivable. Genuine patriotism is based on a deep understanding of the past, because in the past we draw the experience necessary to build the future. It is the national history that instills in a person such a necessary sense of patriotism and national pride. A real citizen-patriot must know the history of his Motherland. We need knowledge of the past in order to learn from it and build our present correctly. Patriotism becomes the most important motive for the socially significant activity of a young person and in subsequent years of his self-realization - throughout his life.

“I ask one thing to those who will survive this time:

do not forget! Don't forget the good or the bad.

Patiently gather testimonies of those

who fell for himself and for you.

The day will come when the present will become the past,

When they talk about the great time

And nameless heroes who made history.

I would like everyone to know

that there were no nameless heroes,

that there were people who had their own name, their own appearance,

their aspirations and hopes, and therefore the torment

the most inconspicuous of them were no less

than the agony of one whose name will go down in history.

May these people always be close to you,

like friends, like family, like yourself.”

Julius Fucik "Reporting with a noose around his neck"

For educators involved in the work of perpetuating memory

Fallen defenders of the Fatherland

1. Acceptance of the application.

To start the search, it is necessary to obtain as much information as possible about the missing soldier from relatives. You can prepare a questionnaire - an application that includes several main fields: last name, first name, patronymic, year and place of birth, year and place of conscription, type of troops, position, rank, unit number, field mail, fate known to relatives. At the same time, information about the unit number and field mail must be confirmed by copies of surviving letters and documents. Such a confirmation application is required because data reported from memory by relatives often required viewing a large number of files in the archive and did not give a result.

2. Entering into the database.

All applications are assigned an incoming number, and they are entered into the database. Today, almost every teacher knows ICT, so it will not be a big difficulty to create an electronic database, it will allow you to avoid repeating work with the fate of military personnel.

3. Search workpopulation survey method.

Due to the existing inaccuracies and the lack of records in the All-Russian Book of Memory about the place of death and burial of the defenders of the Fatherland, replenishment and clarification of the unified computer data bank on the dead (missing), a targeted event is being conducted on a door-to-door (door-to-door survey). Students are involved in the survey as part of programs to study the history of their native land. The poll establishes:

FULL NAME. participant of the Great Patriotic Wars;

Returned from the front, died or went missing;

A separate item specifies whether the name of a participant in the Great Patriotic War is included in the All-Russian Book of Memory;

The biography, information about military awards is being specified.

The information received is rechecked in TsAMO, in the editorial offices of the All-Union Communist Party at the place of residence and the death of a serviceman, and is entered into a single computer data bank on the fallen defenders of the Fatherland.

4. Checking the Books of Memory.

If possible, all applications are checked against the Books of Memory of the area from which the soldier was called up. Such a check allows you to establish additional information about him, as well as find out whether he is immortalized.

5. Check by United Database "Memorial".

Literally a year ago, a unique project appeared on the Internet, thanks to which the search for military personnel was greatly simplified and accelerated. By accessing the Internet at the link www.obd-memorial.ru, you can find out how wanted is listed in the Central Archive of the Ministry of Defense. For a successful search in this database, you must keep in mind the following:

This project is under development, therefore it is updated periodically, and the information contained there is incomplete. Those. it happens that once you type a person, you can not find him, but after a while, he appears there.

The last name, first name and patronymic should be typed very carefully. If there is an option for another reading of the desired surname, then you must also try it, because. documents during the Great Patriotic War were mainly filled out by ear and by hand, and this allows you to write and read in different ways.

When you find the right person, you need to print two sheets. The first one shows the full name and other data typed on the computer, as well as the fund, inventory, case from which the information was taken. On the second sheet there is directly a scan of the document, where the soldier is mentioned. There can be several documents per person. Everything must be printed.

It should be borne in mind that in our large country there were many namesakes. Therefore, it is better to check as much additional information as possible: year of birth, place, names of relatives and their address.

Particular attention should be paid to information from the military registration and enlistment offices. As a rule, this information includes only the last name, first name and patronymic, sometimes even the year of birth. This is not always enough to identify the person you are looking for.

6. In 2011, another wonderful project appeared on the Internet - a public electronic document bank"The Feat of the People in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945"

The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation presents a unique information resource of open access, filled with all the documents available in the military archives on the progress and results of the main military operations, exploits and awards of all the soldiers of the Great Patriotic War.

The main goals of the project are to perpetuate the memory of all the heroes of the Victory, regardless of the rank, the scale of the feat, the status of the award, the military-patriotic education of young people on the example of the military exploits of their fathers, as well as the creation of a factual basis for countering attempts to falsify the history of the War.

The creation of the most complete electronic bank of documents on a key period in the modern history of civilization has no analogues in terms of volume, historical and social significance, and is an eternal monument to the great Feat of the People.

How to work with the site: step by step instructions

It should be noted that this site is constantly updated. If March 13, 2013 in Alekseevsky RVC, Kuibyshev region. there were 8 pages, then on March 22 - already 81. I think that many will find on the site the names of their relatives or their fellow countrymen that are of interest to them.

7. I want to recommend another site where you can find information about Soviet prisoners of war - this isDocumentation Center (CD) is a research institution underUnited Saxon memorials in memory of the victims of political terror , Dresden.

The database of Soviet prisoners of war contains information about Soviet prisoners of war during World War II, who were either in prisoner of war camps or in labor battalions, mainly located on the territory of the Reich. If you are lucky, you will be able to find not only brief information about the wanted person, but also an individual card with records: about the transfer from one camp to another, illness, death of a soldier, as well as a photo on the document (although rare, but there are).

I will give a specific example: in the book of Memory of the Samara Region of the Alekseevsky District, Pavel Egorovich Sinichkin is listed as dead in 1942. We found information that he was captured in May 1942 in the Crimea and was in a camp in Baden until 1944 d. The further fate is still unknown, now we are writing a request to Germany in order to issue us a certificate on our soldier.

7. Analysis of the collected information.

If the database indicates the place of burial of a serviceman in the documents of TsAMO and the military registration and enlistment office, then we can say that the search is completed, it remains to inform the relatives. But this rarely happens. There is an option that only the time and place of death are indicated. Then such applications are postponed in order to make a request to the military registration and enlistment office. These two options are among the small number of successful finds when the wording is "died".

A completely different situation is when the documents say "missing." If it is possible to find the exact time and place of the disappearance in the documents of the unit on the base, then you can find information about the military operations of the unit on the specified day. Due to the lack of a clearly developed law on the procedure for perpetuating the memory of soldiers, writing to the military registration and enlistment office of the area where the person went missing makes little sense. It is also possible to establish the approximate area of the death of military personnel if the number of the unit in which he served is known. The search for most applications ends with finding information in the archive that their relative went missing at about such and such a time. It is almost impossible to search for any information about a person without knowing the number of the military unit.

8. Work in archives. Search work in archives, first of all, consists in studying the primary sources of archival documents in order to obtain information for organizing field work, about irretrievable losses, and processing information obtained during search work. The main place for research work is the Central Archive of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation (Podolsk) with a fund for storing documents of units and subunits from June 2, 1941 to the present day, the Russian State Military Archive (RGVA), the Archive of Military Medical Documents of the Military Medical Museum of the Ministry of Defense Russian Federation St. Petersburg.

9. Perpetuation of the memory of the dead and missing servicemen.

When establishing the exact place of death of a soldier, it is necessary to send a request to the military registration and enlistment office of the district or region in which the soldier died, whether he is listed with them, and also write that if he is not listed, then ask to be immortalized. Be sure to attach copies of documents from which it is clear where you got the idea that the fighter died in a particular area. Typically, military registration and enlistment offices respond to such letters within a month or two. They report exactly where the serviceman is buried. If they do not have such a fighter, then they perpetuate him on the basis of your documents sent and inform you about it.

10. Reply to relatives.

All the information collected must be collected together, a response to relatives must be made, answers from the archive and data from the Internet must be attached. If there is interesting information about the fate of a serviceman, then the results of your work can be presented at solemn events.

I will highlight the important requirements for this process:

- when working with relatives or close people of a found warrior, it is necessary to rely only on documents certified by the archive and in no case add a "gag" in relation to the events of those years

If possible, provide information to relatives personally, having previously prepared them morally, since most of them are elderly people, for whom even good news can be a serious blow to health.

Wishes to teachers involved in search work: it must be borne in mind that as a result of the study there are pluses and minuses:

Firstly, it is the joy of finding information about the deceased or the military path of a soldier;

Secondly, it is necessary to warn pupils against the inevitable in many cases disappointment associated with numerous inaccuracies and errors in military documents and texts of nominal articles, in volumes of the Books of Memory.

Leaders need to weigh the pros and cons before engaging their kids in this massive event. Having decided to participate in it, one must honestly tell the children about the difficulties and possible failures. It is necessary to teach adolescents how to competently respond to "misfires" and find adequate ways to solve the tasks.

Summing up, I would like to note that the younger generation needs courageous, thoughtful teachers and senior comrades who are able to educate strong-willed, responsible and convinced patriots.

Explanatory note

Relevance. June 22, 1941 is one of the most tragic dates in the history of our people. It was on this day that the Great Patriotic War of the Soviet people against Nazi Germany began. In the Alekseevsky district of the Kuibyshev region, active mobilization was carried out in the first days of the war - from June 23 to July 6, 1941. A total of 3557 people went to the front, more than two thousand did not return from the battlefields. In every village, town there are families that were affected by this war. People with love and respect keep letters from the front, personal belongings of those killed on the fronts and those who died after the war.

Main part

In 2009 - 10 academic years. G. at a meeting of the circle "Young local historian" it was decided to collect information about our fellow countrymen - participants in the Great Patriotic War and capture this information in the form of their own book, the name of which is "The Book of Memory. Live and remember ... ".

“Cherepkov Pavel Sergeevich, born in 1926 Private. He died in 1945" - just one line written in the Book of Memory. But on the site “Feat of the People” we found the following information: “Drawn into the army in October 1944, served on the 3rd Ukrainian Front ...

In offensive battles on April 9-10, 1945, he personally acted bravely, overcoming a two-kilometer water barrier, brought cartridges to a machine gun, and ensured uninterrupted firing at the enemy. Personally, participating in the attack of the enemy, he was the first to break into his location and destroyed the enemy’s light machine gun with grenades. In this battle Comrade. Cherepkov was killed. For personal courage and courage in battle ... Comrade. Cherepkov deserves the Order of the Patriotic WarIIdegrees posthumously"

We have updated information about some participants in the Great Patriotic War. Kurov Aleksey Nikitovich, a native of the village of Letnikovo in the village of Ilyichevsky, is known and remembered not only by the older generation, but also by young people. A veteran of the Great Patriotic War, Labor was a frequent guest at ceremonial events at the school. He spoke little about himself, about the military time. It is known that he was called to the front in 1943, had the rank of sergeant, was the commander of the rifle squad of the 26th rifle division, 312th regiment. Fought on the Second Baltic Front. Awarded with the Order of GloryIIIdegree, the medal "For Courage", etc. For us, local historians, an archival document is of great importance - the award list of Sergeant Kurov A.N. dated June 2, 1944. In it we read: “... He was a participant in the battles on March 26-27, 1944, when crossing the Velikaya River and breaking through the enemy’s defenses. At the head of his squad, he participated in repulsing the enemy counterattack on March 31, 1944. With an example of personal courage and courage, he carried the fighters to military exploits. In a grenade battle and fire from a machine gun, he destroyed 3 Nazis in this battle. Worthy of the government award of the Order of GloryIIIdegrees." There is also an order to award the medal “For Courage” dated June 22, 1944: “... the fearless junior commander proved himself in repeated offensive battles with the German invaders. Being on the defensive, he was the first to open a record of the extermination of the German occupiers. With a well-aimed shot from a rifle, he destroyed a German soldier.

The younger brother of Katyshev Nikolai Mikhailovich lives in the village of Ilyichevsky, during the war years, who was 11 years old. Grigory Mikhailovich remembers from his brother's story that he was awarded the medals "For Courage" and "For Military Merit" and no more details. Now we can say with confidence for what merits Nikolai Mikhailovich was awarded government awards. Katyshev N.M., born in 1922, corporal, reconnaissance officer of the 433rd Fighter Anti-Tank Division of the 318th Infantry Novorossiysk Division. He had two minor wounds - in September 1943 and in May 1944. “Being a scout for a year in the division, I spotted 10 firing points on the front line of the enemy. During the battles for Novorossiysk, simultaneously acting as a messenger and telephone operator, three times under heavy enemy artillery fire he eliminated gusts ... On September 18, 1943, delivering a combat order under heavy enemy fire, comrade. Katyshev was wounded ... ". We also learned that Nikolai Mikhailovich took part in the battles for Sevastopol, where he showed his best qualities. According to his tips, 4 enemy firing points were destroyed. Grandchildren and great-grandchildren can be proud of their great-grandfather.

We also created a small stand - an exposition, which has three sections: "They defended the Motherland", "Battle for Leningrad", "Children to the front".

In the future, we plan to create a museum of local history at the school, where the material we have collected about fellow countrymen participating in the Great Patriotic War will be presented.

The theoretical and practical significance of the study lies in the fact thatAs a result of the work done, we found systematized and summarized data on 65 of our countrymen, participants in the Great Patriotic War. We are working on the compilation of Books of Memory about the soldiers of three settlements: the village of Ilyichevsk, the village of Leningradsky, the village of Kalashinovka. Our material can be used by both students and teachers in their work, as well as in class hours and school-wide events.

Our research is not over yet, we continue to collect information, and will supplement our Memory Books.

The memory of a people is its history. It is she who unites us all. A person without memory is nothing. A people without history is inconceivable. Genuine patriotism is based on a deep understanding of the past, because in the past we draw the experience necessary to build the future. It is the national history that instills in a person such a necessary sense of patriotism and national pride. A real citizen-patriot must know the history of his Motherland. We need knowledge of the past in order to learn from it and build our present correctly.Patriotism becomes the most important motive for the socially significant activity of a young person and in subsequent years of his self-realization - throughout his life.

“I ask one thing to those who will survive this time:

do not forget! Don't forget the good or the bad.

Patiently gather testimonies of those

who fell for himself and for you.

The day will come when the present will become the past,

When they talk about the great time

And nameless heroes who made history.

I would like everyone to know

that there were no nameless heroes,

that there were people who had their own name, their own appearance,

their aspirations and hopes, and therefore the torment

the most inconspicuous of them were no less

than the agony of one whose name will go down in history.

May these people always be close to you,

like friends, like family, like yourself.”

8. Work in archives.Search work in archives, first of all, consists in studying the primary sources of archival documents in order to obtain information for organizing field work, about irretrievable losses, and processing information obtained during search work. The main place for research work is the Central Archive of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation (Podolsk) with a fund for storing documents of units and subunits from June 2, 1941 to the present day, the Russian State Military Archive (RGVA), the Archive of Military Medical Documents of the Military Medical Museum of the Ministry of Defense Russian Federation St. Petersburg.

9. Perpetuation of the memory of the dead and missing servicemen.

10. Reply to relatives.

I will highlight the important requirements for this process:

– when working with relatives or close people of a found warrior, it is necessary to rely only on documents certified by the archive and in no case add a “gag” in relation to the events of those years

If possible, provide information to relatives personally, having previously prepared them morally, since most of them are elderly people, for whom even good news can be a serious blow to health.

Wishes to teachers involved in search work: it must be borne in mind that as a result of the study there are pluses and minuses:

Firstly, it is the joy of finding information about the deceased or the military path of a soldier;

Summing up, I would like to note that the younger generation needs courageous, thoughtful teachers and senior comrades who are able to educate strong-willed, responsible and convinced patriots.

In the postwar years, he was reburied in a mass grave on the street. The central village of Kornevo, Bagrationovsky district, Kaliningrad region.
According to the information I have, the name of Ivan Ivan Ivanovich has not been immortalized at the moment.
In accordance with Art. 11 of the Law of the Russian Federation dated January 14, 1993 No. 4292-1 “On perpetuating the memory of those who died defending the Fatherland”, Decree of the President of the Russian Federation dated January 22, 2006 No. 37 “Issues of perpetuating the memory of those who died defending the Fatherland”, Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated November 26, 2007 No. 802 “On measures to implement the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation dated January 22, 2006 No. 37 “Issues of perpetuating the memory of those who died defending the Fatherland”, I ask you to perpetuate the name of Ivanov Ivan Ivanovich on a mass grave on the street.

For almost 4 years, the Government and the Ministry of Defense of Russia have not regulated the procedure for providing resources for ongoing activities to perpetuate the memory of those who died defending the Fatherland. IA REX publishes a certificate "on the state of military memorial work to perpetuate the memory of the defenders of the Fatherland", prepared by a team of government specialists.

publishes a certificate "on the state of military memorial work to perpetuate the memory of the defenders of the Fatherland", prepared by a team of government specialists.

President of the Russian Federation V.V. Putin, speaking on June 27, 2012 in the PF Federation Council, stressed that "people who gave their lives for the interests of the Motherland should not be forgotten." This is the position of the Head of State. Previously, it was already reflected in the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation V.V. Putin "Issues of perpetuating the memory of those who died in defense of the Fatherland" dated January 22, 2006 No. 37 and in those changes that were made to the Law of the Russian Federation "On perpetuating the memory of those killed in defense of the Fatherland" dated January 14, 1993 No. 4292-1. Which actually gave a new impetus to the work to perpetuate the memory of the fallen defenders of the Fatherland in the Russian Federation.

Thus, the legal basis for the implementation of the principle "No one is forgotten, nothing is forgotten!" in our country there are two main norms - Decree of the President of the Russian Federation "Issues of perpetuating the memory of those who died defending the Fatherland" of January 22, 2006 No. 37 (hereinafter referred to as the Decree) and the Law of the Russian Federation "On perpetuating the memory of those who died defending the Fatherland" of January 14, 1993 No. 4292-1 (as amended by Federal Laws No. 122-FZ dated August 22, 2004, No. 179-FZ dated November 3, 2006, No. 160-FZ dated July 23, 2008, No. 213-FZ dated July 18, 2011) (hereinafter - Law).

In accordance with the Law, the memory of the defenders of the Fatherland is subject to perpetuation:

- those killed in the course of hostilities, while performing other combat missions or in the performance of official duties to protect the Fatherland;

- those who died in the performance of military duty in the territories of other states;

- those who died from wounds, contusions, injuries or diseases received in the defense of the Fatherland, regardless of the time of onset of these consequences, as well as those who went missing during military operations, while performing other combat missions or in the performance of official duties;

- the dead, who died in captivity, in which they ended up due to the prevailing military situation, but who did not lose their honor and dignity, who did not betray their homeland.

A tribute to the memory should also be paid to foreign citizens who died defending the Russian Federation. In addition, the memory of associations, formations and institutions that distinguished themselves in the defense of the Fatherland is perpetuated, as well as the places of hostilities that entered Russian history as symbols of heroism, courage and steadfastness of the peoples of our Fatherland.

The law defines the main forms of this work:

- preservation and improvement of military graves, installation of tombstones, monuments, steles, obelisks, other memorial structures and objects that perpetuate the memory of the dead;

- preservation and development of certain territories historically associated with the exploits of those who died defending the Fatherland;

- Entering the names of those killed in the defense of the Fatherland and other information about them in the books of Memory;

- creation of memorial museums, organization of exhibitions, construction of commemorative signs on the battlefields;

- publication in the media of materials about those who died defending the Fatherland, the creation of works of art and literature dedicated to their exploits;

- assignment of the names and surnames of those killed in the defense of the Fatherland to settlements, streets and squares, physical and geographical objects, enterprises, institutions, including educational ones, organizations, military units, ships and ships;

- Establishment of memorable dates and the All-Russian Day of Remembrance.

The law establishes that, by decision of state authorities and administration, public associations, other measures may be taken to perpetuate the memory of those who died defending the Fatherland.

The law defines the state authorities responsible for carrying out work to perpetuate the memory of those who died in defense of the Fatherland: the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation with military authorities, the FSB, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation, as well as the Federal Executive Authority in the field of mass media (currently - Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications of the Russian Federation) and the Federal Executive Authority in the field of culture and art (currently - the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation).

The law entrusted the leadership and coordination of the work on perpetuating the memory of those who died in the defense of the Fatherland to the authorized federal executive body. Decree V.V. Putin, this function is entrusted to the Russian Ministry of Defense.

The law clearly defines the powers of the authorized federal executive body, the above-mentioned executive bodies and local self-government bodies.

In order to correctly assess the situation that has developed today in the field of military memorial work to perpetuate the memory of the defenders of the Fatherland, it was necessary to conduct a small comparative analysis of the above-mentioned regulations and also documents that directly regulate the activities of seven departments - the Ministry of Defense, the Federal Security Service, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Foreign Intelligence Service, Ministry of Communications and Ministry of Culture of Russia. Already the first results prompted a sad thought - "seven nannies have a child without an eye":

I. The process of implementing functional tasks to perpetuate the memory of those who died in defense of the Fatherland, assigned by the Law and the Decree to the above-mentioned subjects of law, is extremely poorly coordinated at the interdepartmental level, in fact, it is deprived of centralized control over execution. Control function assigned by the Law to the authorized federal executive body, i.e. for the Ministry of Defense of Russia - according to the Decree, in the Regulations on the Ministry (the current version was approved by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of July 12, 2012 No. 979) not reflected.

Consequences:

- For almost 4 years since the issuance of the Decree, the procedure for organizing the implementation of the powers vested in it by the authorized federal body has not been defined, and the legal act regulating this activity has not been issued.

- The legal basis and procedure for the activities of the Russian Ministry of Defense, as an authorized body, its relationship with other federal executive bodies and local governments, including in terms of resource support for activities, were not initially determined, which negatively affected the milestone results of the military memorial work . At the same time, the lack of a regulated procedure for the activities of the Russian Ministry of Defense as an authorized federal executive body made it significantly more difficult to resolve issues of financial and logistical support for measures to perpetuate the memory of those who died in defense of the Fatherland and to control the use of funds allocated for these purposes from budgets of various levels, as well as other income and donations.

- The authority to exercise control over the implementation of this Law, even directly in the Ministry of Defense of Russia, including the economic and financial and economic activities of subordinate organizations involved in the conduct of military memorial work, was organized and exercised only before the reorganization of the Military Memorial Center of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation to the Directorate of the Russian Ministry of Defense (to perpetuate the memory of those who died defending the Fatherland). On February 17, 2009, the tasks of the Directorate of the Russian Ministry of Defense, approved by the Chief of Logistics of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation - Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation, excluded the control functions.

- The insufficient regulation of legal relations between the Russian Ministry of Defense, as an authorized federal executive body, and local governments and other participants in the process, did not contribute to the intensification of measures to perpetuate the memory of those who died defending the Fatherland, especially in terms of the implementation of intergovernmental agreements determined by a decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of October 23, 1995 No. 1026 “On an organization authorized by the Government of the Russian Federation to implement intergovernmental agreements on military burials”, and the procedure for registering rights to land plots transferred for military burials.

- The procedure for interdepartmental interaction was not regulated, including in terms of exercising the powers of the Russian Foreign Ministry and the Russian Ministry of Defense to organize registration and certification of existing military memorial sites.

II. The functional tasks fixed in the Law to perpetuate the memory of those who died defending the Fatherland were not clearly reflected in the documents regulating the activities of the above-mentioned state bodies - regulations on ministries and departments, norms of direct action - special federal laws. The absence in the aforementioned provisions and laws of the tasks prescribed by the Law for ministries and departments has led, on the one hand, to the apparent parallelism in the work of departments to perpetuate the memory of those who died defending the Fatherland (“everyone is doing everything”), and the partial loss of a number of tasks set by the Law from the scope of their activities, on the other hand:

Consequences:

- Coordination of measures to ensure search work as a whole should be carried out by the Russian Ministry of Defense (Article 11 of the Law), including as an authorized federal executive body. However, as practice has shown, the proper procedure and interaction in this work between the Russian Ministry of Defense and public search associations, state authorities and local governments in legal, organizational and practical terms are not defined and not established, which significantly affects the effectiveness of ongoing search activities.

Thus, the directive documents of the Russian Ministry of Defense and the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation entrusted the military command and control bodies (in accordance with Article 11 of the Law) with the functions of providing the necessary practical assistance to search formations in organizing and conducting search work on the ground and in military archives; in the survey of areas where hostilities were fought, in order to identify the unburied remains of the dead defenders of the Fatherland, as well as catering for search teams and supplying them with fuel and lubricants (on a paid basis). At the same time, the procedure and conditions for the implementation of the functions assigned to the military command bodies to provide practical assistance to these formations in carrying out search operations, burying the remains of the dead, landscaping military graves, catering and providing them with fuel and lubricants are not defined.

— Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation “On the Concept of the Federal Target Program “Preservation and Reconstruction of Military Memorial Sites in 2011-2015” dated July 28, 2011 No. 1317-r of the Ministry of Defense of Russia, identified as the state customer of this FTP, was instructed to ensure the development of the draft Program , with a forecast value of 2,500 million rubles, and submit it in the prescribed manner to the Government of the Russian Federation.

As a result of the problems that the Russian Ministry of Defense encountered when drafting the project, it was not included in the list of programs approved at a meeting of the Government of the Russian Federation to be financed from the federal budget in 2010 and the planned period of 2011 and 2012. The Ministry of Economic Development of Russia, in a letter dated October 2, 2009 No. 16586-00 / D17, reported that a number of violations and shortcomings were identified in the process of considering the draft concept of the said FTP. The proposed program for implementation since 2011 has not been included in the list of FTPs proposed for financing from the federal budget, and only after the identified shortcomings have been eliminated can it be considered in the prescribed manner when preparing a draft federal law on the federal budget for 2011 and for the planning period of 2012 and 2013 years.

In addition, the analysis of the draft FTP showed that it reveals a set of interrelated activities in terms of resources and timing, which are intersectoral in nature and affect all subjects of the system of perpetuating the memory of those who died defending the Fatherland, which contributes to the implementation of a unified federal policy in this area. Based on this, it was proposed to assign responsibility for the implementation of program activities, targeted and efficient use of budgetary funds to the Ministry of Regional Development of Russia and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia in accordance with the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of June 26, 1995 No. 594 "On the implementation of the Federal Law" On the supply of products for federal state needs." However, by the decision of the 26th meeting of the Russian Organizing Committee "Victory" of December 26, 2007 (paragraph 13), the formation of a draft federal target program, calculated until 2015, was recommended by the Russian Ministry of Defense. At the same time, the draft order of the Government of the Russian Federation on the approval of the concept stipulated that the development of the draft program should be carried out by the Ministry of Regional Development of the Russian Federation.

- The Russian Foreign Ministry has the authority to establish information about the missing in the course of hostilities, armed conflicts and in the performance of military duty on the territory of foreign states, as well as to organize registration and certification of military graves on the territories of foreign states.

According to the information for 2010, the central office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia did not have a database of registration and certification of military graves due to the fact that the authority to organize centralized registration and certification of military graves of those killed in the defense of the Fatherland, including burials located on the territories of other states assigned to the Russian Ministry of Defense. The information received from foreign missions of the Russian Foreign Ministry was sent to the Russian Ministry of Defense for centralized registration and certification of military graves located abroad. At the same time, the procedure for interaction between the Russian Foreign Ministry and the Russian Ministry of Defense in terms of exercising the powers assigned to them to organize accounting and passportization of military memorial sites was not regulated. There was also no approved form of credentials for the certification of military graves.

III. Budgeting of work on the execution by ministries and departments of the tasks assigned by the Law is difficult due to the omissions of these functions in regulations and laws regulating the main activities of ministries and departments and determining the directions and volumes of their financing from the federal budget.

Consequences:

– In accordance with the Law, local governments perform the tasks of maintaining in order and landscaping military graves, memorial structures and objects that perpetuate the memory of those who died defending the Fatherland, which are located on their territories, as well as work to implement intergovernmental agreements on caring for the graves of foreign military personnel on the territory of the Russian Federation. The measures taken by the executive authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and local governments to keep in order, improve and preserve memorial structures and objects that perpetuate the memory of those who died in the defense of the Fatherland were insufficient.

- The Ministry of Defense of Russia for a number of years since the issuance of the Decree has not been legally regulated the procedure for financing and issuing licenses for prospecting to identify unrecorded military graves of the defenders of the Fatherland on land provided for construction (in areas where hostilities were fought).

— 2007-2010 federal budget funds were not allocated for the fulfillment by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia of the powers to ensure public order during search work, to receive small arms found during search work, to record dead servicemen of internal troops, private and commanding staff of internal affairs bodies; participation in the establishment of information about the missing.

- Due to the unsettled issues of financing 2007-2010. the activities of the Russian parts of the mixed intergovernmental commissions to ensure the implementation of agreements on military burials, as well as the Interdepartmental Commission on Prisoners of War, Internees and the Missing, and the Russian part of the Joint Russian-American Commission on the Affairs of Prisoners of War and the Missing, were not provided with the necessary appropriations.

— In 2007-2009. due to the lack of budget allocations for the maintenance of military graves on the territories of military garrisons, the functions assigned to the heads of garrisons for the maintenance of military graves on the territories of military garrisons of 13 closed administrative-territorial formations in 7 subjects of the Russian Federation (Primorsky and Kamchatka Territories, Kirov, Murmansk, Penza, Saratov, Orenburg regions). Of the 38 military graves available on their territories, only 16 graves (42%) were in satisfactory condition, and 11 graves (29%) were in unsatisfactory condition. The need for funds for the reconstruction of burial sites was about 30.0 million rubles.

- The law assigns the authority to maintain and improve military memorial sites to local governments, which are often subsidized and, accordingly, cannot raise the required amount of financial costs for these purposes, leads to an uneven burden on their budgets.

So, some of them (especially those on whose territories there were no hostilities) do not incur any financial costs for these purposes, while others, due to the significant number of military memorial sites on their territories, have limited opportunities to raise funds. for their maintenance and preservation. As a result, the effective implementation and implementation of the powers assigned to local governments is not fully ensured, which negatively affects the quality of military burials and military memorial sites.

All of the above can be supported by the conclusions made by the Board of the Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation on January 22, 2010, based on the results of consideration of the report on the results of the "Thematic audit of the efficiency of spending the federal budget, the budgets of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and local budgets for military memorial work in the Russian Federation", carried out on to the appeal of the Committee of the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation on Defense and Security dated June 3, 2009 No. 3.5-31 / 826.

In particular, the activities of the Office of the Russian Ministry of Defense to perpetuate the memory of those who died defending the Fatherland, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Federal Security Service of Russia, the Governments of Moscow, St. Petersburg and the Moscow Region for the period 2007-2008 were checked. and the first half of 2009

As a result of the audit, among other things, it was noted:

1. Throughout For almost 4 years, the Government and the Ministry of Defense of Russia have not regulated the procedure for providing resources for ongoing activities to perpetuate the memory of those who died defending the Fatherland.

By Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of January 22, 2006 No. 37, the Government of the Russian Federation was instructed to resolve, in the prescribed manner, financial and other issues related to the implementation of this Decree, and to bring its regulatory legal acts in line with this Decree.

However, only more than 1.5 years later, the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of November 26, 2007 No. 802 “On measures to implement the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of January 22, 2006 No. 37” was adopted, which only partially regulates the financial support of the functions assigned to the authorized federal body (for the management of work to perpetuate the memory of those killed in the defense of the Fatherland and its coordination, including the coordination of search work), at the expense of funds provided for the Russian Ministry of Defense in the federal budget for the next financial year.

At the same time, the legal basis for resolving issues of the procedure for the formation and use of both federal budget funds necessary for the costs of perpetuating the memory of those who died defending the Fatherland, and the budgets of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and local budgets, as well as voluntary contributions and donations from legal entities and individuals, is practically not defined.

The lack of a clearly developed procedure for financial and logistical support for measures to perpetuate the memory of those who died in defense of the Fatherland was one of the main reasons for serious miscalculations and shortcomings in the organization of military memorial work, especially in terms of the maintenance and preservation of military graves, as well as their accounting.

At the same time, local self-government bodies, which are mostly subsidized and do not have sufficient funds for these purposes, experienced the greatest problems here.

2. The Government of the Russian Federation did not comply with the order contained in the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of January 22, 2006 No. 37 and concerning the introduction of the necessary changes to the Law of the Russian Federation "On perpetuating the memory of those who died defending the Fatherland", especially in Article 11, which suggested that the Russian Ministry of Defense would not determined by the authorized federal executive body to perpetuate the memory of those killed in the defense of the Fatherland. Considering that the Russian Ministry of Defense, in one person, leads the activities to perpetuate the memory of those who died defending the Fatherland and carries out its own instructions, the need to make changes is obvious.

The legendary Russian commander A.V. Suvorov owns the words: "The war is not over until the last dead soldier is buried."

The law, introducing the concept of search work, regulates the process of its conduct, determines its participants. Thus, the Law establishes that search work is carried out in order to identify unknown military graves and unburied remains, to establish the names of the dead or the names of the missing. It is organized and conducted by authorized public associations with the participation of local military authorities, municipal authorities and with the participation by virtue of the powers of all state authorities listed in the Law.

In order to unite the search movement in August 1991, the Association of Search Associations was established, formalized as an independent legal organization. After the collapse of the USSR, the public search organization "Union of Search Teams" was formed in the Russian Federation, since July 2003 - the Fund "Union of Search Teams", which includes 5 interregional, 50 republican, regional and regional search associations, in total more than 600 search teams with a total number of over 40 thousand people.

The conduct of search activities by local governments and search teams in the territories where hostilities were fought, as well as the organization of ceremonies for the burial of the remains of dead soldiers and the acceptance of firearms and ammunition found during search work, are carried out with the assistance of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Central Internal Affairs Directorate and the Internal Affairs Directorate for the subjects RF.

Due to the weak coordination of the actions of the participants in the process on the part of the authorized federal executive body, the fragmentation of budget financing of work between the interested departments, with the current focus on attracting extra-budgetary - private and charitable - sources of funding, the work of the search teams has become selfless and is often carried out on the bare enthusiasm of the search engines. all possible assistance from local authorities and military commissariats. In accordance with the Law, the sources of financial support for measures to perpetuate the memory of those who died in defense of the Fatherland are the federal budget, the budgets of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and local budgets, as well as voluntary contributions and donations from legal entities and individuals. Given the multi-link and multi-stage nature of the existing system of financing military memorial events, it is not possible to determine the total costs for these purposes within the framework of the ongoing audit.

A reflection of the situation that has developed in the field of military memorial work will be incomplete without considering another subject of activity to perpetuate the memory of the defenders of the Fatherland, although not covered by the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation “Issues of perpetuating the memory of those who died defending the Fatherland” and the Law of the Russian Federation “On perpetuating the memory of those who died during defense of the Fatherland".

In order to develop and implement programs and plans to solve problems of a military-historical, memorial, cultural and educational nature, to support and consolidate the movements of war veterans, veterans of military service and law enforcement agencies, the Government of the Russian Federation established the Russian State Military Historical and Cultural Center under the Government of the Russian Federation ”(Rosvoencenter, the Charter was approved by the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of March 14, 1997 No. 317).

Rosvoencenter is called upon to interact with federal executive authorities, executive authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, scientific and educational institutions, enterprises, trade unions, veterans, other public and religious organizations, creative unions, cooperates with foreign and international organizations in order to solve the following tasks:

– development and implementation, with the participation of federal executive authorities, executive authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, veterans and trade union organizations, scientific and educational institutions, public and religious associations, of measures aimed at solving the problems of military-patriotic education of youth and increasing the country's defense capability in pursuance of the Law of the Russian Federation “On perpetuating the memory of those who died defending the Fatherland”, Federal laws “On veterans”, “On the days of military glory (victory days) of Russia”, “On perpetuating the Victory of the Soviet people in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945”;

- ensuring the holding of military memorial events, cultural, educational, creative, scientific, educational and publishing activities, propaganda and coverage in the media of materials that reveal the heroic history and military traditions of the Russian army and navy;

- promoting the development of mutually beneficial cultural and scientific ties with foreign countries, with veterans' organizations on issues of military history, issues of veterans and military-patriotic education of youth;

— pooling efforts and coordinating the activities of federal executive authorities, executive authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, enterprises, trade unions, veterans, other public and religious organizations, creative unions and citizens to solve the problems of veterans, implement measures to create conditions that ensure their socio-economic and moral well-being; organizational and technical support for the activities of the Russian Organizing Committee for the preparation and holding of events in connection with memorable events in the military history of the Fatherland and for veterans on issues related to the implementation of plans and programs of Rosvoencenter.

The director of Rosvoencenter is appointed by the Government of the Russian Federation. Financing of activities is carried out at the expense of budget allocations, as well as voluntary contributions, contributions and donations from domestic and foreign legal entities and individuals, as well as foreign investments and grants.

The activities of Rosvoencenter in the implementation of activities related to the implementation of intergovernmental agreements of a memorial nature are carried out in accordance with the “State task for the federal state budgetary institution under the Government of the Russian Federation (Rosvoencenter) for 2012 and the planned period of 2013 and 2014”, taking into account the distribution of the maximum volumes of federal budget allocations budget for Rosvoencenter (Letter of the Administration of the President of the Russian Federation dated July 26, 2011 No. UDI-1-972) in the amount of: for the 2012 financial year - 41,462 thousand rubles, the 1st year of the planning period 2013 - 41,560.1 thousand rubles ., 2nd year of the planning period - 41858.8 thousand rubles.

In December 1991, the Ministries of Defense of Russia and Italy established the Association of International Military Memorial Cooperation "War Memorials". Since 2000, by mutual agreement of the parties, the founders of the War Memorials Association have been the Russian Ministry of Defense and Rosvoincenter. Later, the All-Russian Public Organization of Veterans of War and Military Service and the Ministry of the Russian Federation for Civil Defense, Emergency Situations and Elimination of Consequences of Natural Disasters (EMERCOM of Russia) also became members of the founding members of the Association.

The main activity of the Association is the implementation of practical measures for the implementation of intergovernmental agreements on military burials, which have been concluded with Hungary, Italy, Germany, Mongolia, Poland, Slovakia, Finland, Czech Republic, Japan, Romania and Latvia. By Order of the Government of the Russian Federation of September 24, 2010 No. 1615-r, the Association for International Military Memorial Cooperation "War Memorials" is named the sole contractor for the preservation and maintenance of foreign military graves (including newly equipped ones) on the territory of the Russian Federation, provided for by international treaties of the Russian Federation with foreign states.

Rosvoencenter together with the Association "War Memorials" carry out the most important work to perpetuate the memory of the defenders of the Fatherland, while not being subjects of the Decree of the President of Russia "Issues of perpetuating the memory of those who died defending the Fatherland" and the Law of the Russian Federation "On perpetuating the memory of those who died defending the Fatherland". This introduces additional difficulties in coordinating the activities of seven departments and regional authorities, since the functional tasks of Rosvoencenter and the War Memorials Association duplicate them. And the statutory task of Rosvoencenter to coordinate the activities of federal executive authorities, executive authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, in essence, contradicts the provisions of the Decree and the Law that impose these tasks on the Russian Ministry of Defense.

All of the above may indicate one thing: the activities of state departments and municipal authorities to perpetuate the memory of the defenders of the Fatherland are currently practically not coordinated, the process is not controlled at the executive level, and there is no balance in the financing of this most important state project.

It seems necessary to create in the interests of clear coordination of actions on military memorial work aimed at perpetuating the memory of the defenders of the Fatherland, a special working and consulting body with the proposed name "Rosmemorial".

"On perpetuating the memory of those who died defending the Fatherland"

With changes and additions from:

August 22, 2004, November 3, 2006, July 23, 2008, July 18, 2011, April 5, 2013, July 3, 2016, December 5, 2017, July 19, 2018

Respect for the memory of those who died defending the Fatherland or its interests is the sacred duty of all citizens.

The president

Moscow, House of Soviets of Russia

The memory of the dead and missing in the course of hostilities, in the performance of other combat missions or in the performance of official duties to defend the Fatherland, those who died in the performance of military duty on the territories of other states, as well as those who died from wounds, contusions, injuries or diseases received in defense of the Fatherland. The memory of the dead and those who died in captivity is immortalized, in which they ended up due to the prevailing military situation, but who did not lose their honor and dignity, who did not betray their homeland. Tribute to the memory is also paid to foreign citizens who died defending Russia.

In addition, the memory of associations, formations and institutions that distinguished themselves in the defense of the Fatherland is perpetuated, as well as the places of hostilities that have gone down in history as symbols of heroism, courage and steadfastness of the peoples of our Fatherland.

Forms of perpetuating the memory of those killed in the defense of the Fatherland have been fixed: the preservation and improvement of military graves and certain territories historically associated with the exploits of the dead, the installation of memorial structures, the creation of memorial museums, the organization of exhibitions, relevant publications in the media, the establishment of memorable dates, entering the names of the dead and other information about them in the Books of Memory, assigning the names and surnames of the dead to settlements, streets and squares, physical and geographical objects, enterprises, institutions, etc.

An independent section of the Law is devoted to the burial places of those who died defending the Fatherland. The order of burial (reburial) was determined, the issues of state accounting, maintenance and improvement of military burials, ensuring their safety and restoration were considered.

In order to identify unknown military graves and unburied remains, to establish the names of the dead or the names of the missing, search work is being carried out. It is organized on the basis of local programs and carried out by public associations authorized to carry out such work by state authorities and administrations. Conducting search work in places where hostilities took place, as well as opening military graves as an amateur initiative, is prohibited. The procedure for conducting such work is fixed.

The governing bodies that carry out work to perpetuate the memory of those who died in the defense of the Fatherland, and their powers, have been determined. The issues of financial and logistical support of measures to perpetuate the memory, as well as liability for violation of the Law, were considered.
