How much did a doctor in the USSR receive. Who in the USSR received the highest salaries

The documents of the State Archives in Krasnoufimsk indicate that during the years of the Great Patriotic War Three orphanages were placed on the territory of the Achitsky district.

In 1941, in the village of Bolshoy Ut, an orphanage was organized for evacuees from the city of Krasny Kholm in the Kalinin Region (now the Tver Region). The children who arrived were placed in former peasant houses. The rooms were small, two people slept on one bed.

In 1943, an orphanage was formed in the village of Verkh-Tisa to accommodate children evacuated from Leningrad during the siege. But due to the fact that the V-Tisinsky orphanage was located in unsuitable buildings, subsequently the authorities of the Achitsky district decided on April 1, 1945 to transfer the orphanage to the village. Achit in the premises of the new school - an unused building with 280 seats, built in 1940.

The documents of the Afanasyevsky orphanage were not sent to the archive for storage, but it was possible to find out from indirect materials that in 1943 there were 75 pupils in it. In 1944, the institution was transferred from the village of Afanasyevsky to the village of Klenovoe, since the orphanage was completely unprepared for winter: it was cold in the rooms, most of the children did not have shoes and coats.

Each orphanage had its own subsidiary farm. Under the guidance of educators, the children grew potatoes, crops, vegetables, looked after livestock - cows, piglets, rabbits. In the reports on inspection of orphanages, it appears that the children's behavior, their attitude to work, school performance indicate a serious attitude to life. Children from orphanages don't let school lessons, even being late for lessons are of a single nature. Children know how to plow, harrow, sow, reap, mow, row, take care of livestock, work in the kitchen, needlework, spin, knit, etc. So, at Bolsheutinsky orphanage there were shoe and sewing workshops. Children sewed their own linen, dresses, leather shoes, wove bast shoes. The progress was 100%. Of the 82 students, there were 13 excellent students and 50 shock students.

Bosses - nearby collective farms - rendered all possible assistance to orphanages: allocated hayfields, cattle for breeding in the subsidiary farm, sent workers to repair the premises. In turn, children from orphanages took part in weeding and harvesting. Boys in locksmith workshops repaired simple parts for agricultural machines and tractors.

During the Great Patriotic War, there were 230 children in orphanages in the Achitsky district. After the war, the Achita orphanage was reorganized into the Achita boarding school. The activities of the Bolsheutinsky orphanage can be traced according to documents until 1954. The latest information about the Afanasievsk orphanage is available only for 1944; this institution is no longer listed in the statistics for subsequent years.

N.S. Timofeeva, head of the use department archival documents and scientific reference apparatus of the State Archives in Krasnoufimsk

Did you have children during the war years? Yes, and to children too. And in many ways much more than today. One example of this is the work of pioneer houses in our country. I will make a reservation right away: in the material there are no houses of the pioneers of Leningrad. I will write about them separately, this is a very big topic of heroism during the blockade. In the meantime, let's talk about other cities.

I remember that somehow I stumbled on the Internet on the memoirs of one of the wartime counselors. He told that they the main task in those years it was - not to give children to the street. Parents are preoccupied with a great misfortune, but children cannot be shackled into the shackles of this misfortune. There was a clear setting: the war would definitely end, but this time in the life of the children should not be missed in any way. Yes, there is a lot of grief and fear around. But the main cures for troubles are hard work and solidarity.


Serpukhov

By the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, this house was only six years old. But more than ten circles and studios have already worked here. Boys and girls were engaged in dancing, singing, modeling, learning to draw, knit, sew, play folk instruments (they even had their own orchestra!), and mastered performing arts.

Practically not a single circle was closed, despite the fact that more than half of the teachers went to the front. Now classes in circles were devoted to helping the front. In the summer they collected medicinal herbs, pine needles and handed them over to pharmacies. Specially created propaganda teams performed in hospitals, in front of the fighters of the labor front, and even went to the front lines. As a rule, for such performances, the guys themselves made gifts for the fighters: they sewed pouches, knitted mittens. None of the boys said that this was supposedly a girl's job. Among the pupils was the pioneer Vasya Kulikov. In preparation for a performance in front of the wounded, the boy sewed mittens. A certain amount of fabric was brought by the workers of the house of creativity and children, but this was not enough. For a week, Vanya himself went through almost all of Serpukhov, knocked on houses, asked the townspeople for help. And he collected so much fabric, things and threads that he could not bring it all alone to the House of Pioneers. Eleven guys helped him, and everyone was loaded, as they say, to failure.

Moscow

At the beginning of the war, more than a thousand teachers and grown-up pupils of the Moscow City House of Pioneers went to the front.

The remaining adults divided the children into large groups. Some helped take care of the wounded, others came to the aid of the employees of the military registration and enlistment offices and delivered stories, while others performed in military units with amateur concerts. The content of almost all circles has changed: carpentry, needlework, young biologists ... Pioneers worked on collective farms, even mined peat. So, in the summer of 1941, the pupils of the Tourism Association went to the city of Ozyory, which is not far from Kolomna. The local state farm desperately needed working hands - and these hands appeared: boys and girls fulfilled the norm by 300 percent! Thanks to them, the state farm received a profit of 15 thousand rubles. Girls from sewing circles now sewed mittens, pouches, and even tunics. True, adults did the cutting of fabrics, but does this detract from the merit of the guys?

In the autumn of the same year, schoolchildren dug trenches, were on duty on the roofs and in gas shelters. The children helped the adults in blackout, collected waste paper and scrap metal. Surprisingly, at the same time, they did not relegate their studies to the background: in the House of Pioneers, there were even special sections for those who were lagging behind, where young “docs” helped everyone to understand incomprehensible subjects and topics, pulled up the younger ones, and prepared homework with them. They also went to the nearest orphanage, arranged concerts for orphans, read poems to them, sang songs.

Ulyanovsk

Today, this building houses a puppet theater. And during the war years there was the House of Pioneers, where more than four hundred boys and girls were engaged in thirty-eight circles and studios. The house acted as the organizer of the children's movement in Ulyanovsk "Rear to the Front". All the children came here to help their soldier fathers. Here parcels were collected for the front: in four years almost ten thousand of them were sent! By the way, from the front, it happened, and thanks from the fighters came. They were read aloud at the training camp.

In the very first spring of the war, the guys, under the guidance of adults, set up a large garden where they grew several dozen varieties of vegetables and herbs. "Resistant" vegetables - potatoes, beets, onions - were sent to the front raw. Cucumbers and tomatoes were pickled in tubs and barrels, greens were dried. In the House of Pioneers, there was also a point for helping the starving: anyone could come and ask for help. Someone was given some vegetables, someone was put on food in the dining room.

Schoolchildren collected medicinal herbs - in 1943 alone, drugstores received more than two thousand tons. For collection, they went both near Ulyanovsk and many tens of kilometers from it. The motto was: every blade of grass and flower should help the front.

Gorky (Nizhny Novgorod)

The City House of Pioneers was opened in 1943 - adults found the strength to take care of the children. This building previously housed an elementary school. So the House of Pioneers, which was created, worked very closely with the schools of the city. Teachers who did not go to the front came to the children after school, classes were held in circles both in the building of the House of Pioneers and in schools: in this way, much more children were involved in helping the front - almost two thousand. Classes in the circle of cutting and sewing were moved to sewing and shoe workshops. Many high school students began to work at the Shveinik studio and carried out orders not only at their immediate place of work, but also took them home additionally.

In 1941, a circle of young railway workers was specially opened (it was led by a woman). Pioneers worked on the Gorky railway.

They helped both livestock breeders and poultry farmers. They raised young animals, were on duty at night, fed, kept warm, prepared food, and repaired the premises. Pigs and, sometimes, lambs, were often taken into their homes. Pupils of the secondary school of the Bogorodsky district raised fourteen horses for the soldiers of the Red Army. And the pupils of the circle of biologists in the warm season at four in the morning went to tear grass for chickens (this is despite the fact that no one missed classes at schools).

In the summer of 1942 alone, more than a hundred thousand schoolchildren worked in the collective farms and state farms of the region, earning three and a half thousand workdays!

And this fact applies not only to the pupils of the House of Pioneers, but also to all Gorky schoolchildren: the guys helped schools in areas liberated from fascist evil spirits. Here are the lines from the Gorky Kommuna newspaper dated January 10, 1942: “Students and teachers of three secondary schools in the Avtozavodsky district: No. 1, 19 and 7 - decided to help a secondary school in one of the districts liberated by the Red Army. The staff of these schools undertook to assemble a complete set of visual aids, textbooks and teaching aids for the sponsored school. The students started making some visual aids with their own hands. The collection of textbooks and manuals in other schools of the district begins. This wonderful initiative should be taken up by all schools in the city of Gorky and the region. Students sent 15,000 textbooks and visual aids to schools in the liberated areas!”

On September 1, 1941, the pioneers of school No. 102 addressed all the schoolchildren of the city and the region: “Guys! Let's help our fathers fighting the Nazis! We will build the Gorky Pioneer tank, and we will earn money for it ourselves!

Just four months later, the young delegates of the pioneer detachments had already accepted the tank from the workers and handed it over to the front. In October 1943, another “children's” tank, Oleg Koshevoy, went to the front line. Schoolchildren of the Arzamas district raised additional money for the construction of an aircraft, and schoolchildren of the Avtozavodsky district - for another tank.

And after all, there was time and energy left for children's activities: pioneer rallies, competitions. In the summer of 1942, a gathering of young naturalists and agricultural experts was held. And about five thousand children participated in the amateur art show (December 1942)! Moreover, in some completely incomprehensible way, adults organized the rest of the children in country pioneer camps, where 120,000 boys and girls rested during the four years of the war.

Arkhangelsk

This Pioneer House opened in 1938. Twenty circles worked here, in which 960 boys and girls were engaged. But the war began. The building of the House became a hospital...

Here are the memoirs of Zinaida Matveevna Kochetova, during the war years she attended a circle of young plant scientists: “Having learned that a hospital would be located in our building, all the pioneers immediately decided to help doctors and nurses take care of the wounded. We used to come here every day after school. There were many tasks: older girls were entrusted with boiling underwear, gauze and bandages. We were all taught to treat simple wounds, to make dressings. We washed the fighters, combed their hair, brought them food, washed dishes, cleaned the wards and corridors. We ourselves established night shifts: a brigade of ten pioneers took over every day. In summer, everyone collected medicinal herbs. A competition was arranged: which brigade would gain the most. Mine took second place: we collected 568 kilograms in a month.

The pioneers, who had previously attended amateur performance circles, prepared concerts for the wounded. We were strictly warned: if they treat us, we can’t take anything. And we had one boy, Vanya, not even a pioneer yet. He once took either a piece of sugar or a candy. He was very ashamed that day, they said that nothing could be taken away from the wounded, they needed strength to beat the Nazis. Scolded, scolded, and the next day, many guys brought Vanya something tasty. Everyone understood that he then took sweets not out of greed, but because he himself did not live well, and he was still small.

Tobolsk

Here, by the beginning of the war, about six hundred schoolchildren were engaged in sixteen circles. The guys immediately joined in the huge work of helping the front and did everything that the pioneers of other cities did: they collected parcels, sewed, knitted, and collected medicinal herbs. But separately it is necessary to say about the work of teachers who were able to combine the activities of the children with the game. So, in the very first summer of the war, about five hundred pioneers participated in the game "On the Storm!". In the struggle to pass the norms for obtaining a defense badge, schoolchildren learned to quickly put on gas masks, to provide the first medical care, to navigate in the conditions of the bombing. Ski competitions were held every winter: the guys had to deliver “reports” to the places indicated on the impromptu map as quickly as possible. We organized an excursion and tourist base, every summer the guys went hiking in historical places. They especially liked to visit the grave of the Decembrists.

Salsk (Rostov region)

This House is still called the House of Pioneers today, and not the House of Creativity. During the war years, the city was occupied (July 31, 1942 - January 22, 1943), the building was half destroyed: the roof was broken, windows were broken, the floor was dismantled (the Germans stoked stoves), the ceiling collapsed in the hall.

Of course, during the occupation, the house of pioneers had to be closed. But he worked right up to it and right after, despite the fact that the guys now had no building. In the first year of the war, schoolchildren helped the front: more than six hundred pairs of mittens were sewn and knitted together. And after the occupation, adults tried to arrange work in such a way as to hold events for children on the street. Collection of medicinal herbs, city cleaning. They created groups to help those who were not doing well in their studies - the guys went home to the lagging behind in detachments, and real lessons were obtained. Organized trips. During them, there was a tradition: be sure to sit in a circle for everyone and write a letter to the front to an unfamiliar fighter. Once the guys received an answer from the 1st Belorussian Front: the fighter wrote that he had read their news together with fellow soldiers and was asking permission to come after the war. He lost his family in the war and would like to have friends among the children.

The correspondence lasted quite a long time, and then broke off: apparently, the soldier died.

Ryazan

By the beginning of the war, many circles worked here: photography, radio, dog breeders, needlework, aircraft modeling, electronics, local history, automobile, sports, choreographic, puppet theater, boys' choir, brass band. And not a single one was closed during the war years! Moreover, in 1943 a pioneer song and dance ensemble appeared, headed by the director of the Ryazan Musical College S.A. Zalivukhin.

The guys worked hard. They turned to the pioneers of the region with a proposal to earn money for the construction of a fighter. And as a result, not only the Ryazan Pioneer fighter appeared, but also a tank column, and the Ryazan Pupil armored train.

The guys were approached with orders. So, having received a military order for sewing warm sleeveless jackets, the girls from the cutting and sewing circle worked every day after school for 4-5 hours in the House of Pioneers (they received additional coupons for 200 grams of bread for work). The guys from the soft toy circle sewed hares and bears for kids from kindergartens and even organized a special game room in the House where mothers brought the kids if they needed to leave. The pioneers also worked with the crumbs in this room, but already from the theater and pedagogical circles.

Five teams of Timurovites took soldiers' families under their guardianship and were on duty in hospitals. The pioneers from amateur art circles had their own concert program for performances in front of the fighters. The choreographer in those years was Ida Aleksandrovna Milova. Leaving for the front with a concert team, Nina Kakutsa, a pupil of the House of Pioneers, asked her to come up with a solo dance. Ida Alexandrovna came up with the "Victory March", with which Nina performed.

A quote from a report for the summer of 1944: “The total coverage of circles is 220 people. One of the tasks of the circles in the summer is the training of pioneer instructors. A total of 40 people have been trained, who from the beginning of the school year will conduct circle work in schools. house spent mass work with the children of the city. The military leader conducted 2 campaigns for 3 and 5 kilometers, as well as 4 paramilitary games in the Lukovsky and Nikulchinsky forests. 320 children took part in the games.

There were 7 excursions and walks: to the Ryazan Kremlin, to the Oka, to Borkovskoye Lake, to the Lukovskiy Forest, to the Ryazan Museum. 2 mass festivities for children were held in the city park. The puppet theater of the House of Pioneers gave 48 performances over the summer: in kindergartens, a children's reception center, a tuberculosis sanatorium, a nursery, hospitals, and districts. Due to the lack of light during the summer period, only 4 screenings were held. In June there was an exhibition of children's technical creativity. There were readings of fiction and conversations about Chekhov, Gorky ... "

On the state and development of orphanages in the Tambov region
during the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945.
(from the collection of documents “Tambov region during the Great Patriotic War of 1941 1945. Vol. 2 / Edited by V.L. Dyachkov. Compiled by: M.M. Doroshina (answer. compiler), V.L. Dyachkov, I. I. Muravieva, Tambov, 2008).

Decree of the Bureau of the Tambov Regional Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks “On evacuated children placed in the Tambov Region” *
September 2, 1941
Owls. secret

In accordance with the decision of the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks dated August 22, 1941, the bureau of the regional committee established by inspection that in a number of areas normal living conditions were not created for the evacuated children and their medical service.

Orphanages and kindergartens are located in premises unsuitable for winter (Tulinovka, Michurinsk, Tambov). Many orphanages and kindergartens are not provided with fuel (Inzhavinsky, Poletaevsky, Sampursky, P[okrovo]-Marfinsky, Rzhaksinsky, Staro-Yurievsky, etc.), are not provided with beds, bedding, linen, clothes, shoes (Inzhavinsky, Znamensky, Sampursky, Tulinovsky and others).

The trading organizations provide the children with foodstuffs unsatisfactorily. So, for example, the Nikiforovsky district consumer union of the allocated 1.6 tons of cereals gave out only 90 kg to children's institutions, and the Sampursky district consumer union does not sell any products to orphanages except bread.

The bureau of the regional committee believes that such a state of work with evacuated children is the result of an irresponsible attitude on the part of public education, health and trading organizations. District committees and district executive committees also pay little attention to this important matter.

1. Oblige city committees, district committees of the CPSU (b), city district executive committees, head. oblono comrade Khodyakov and head. by the regional health department of Comrade Gasparyan, by 10/IX, provide all evacuated children with premises adapted for winter conditions, provide fuel and organize proper education and medical care for children.

2. To oblige the chairman of the regional consumer union Comrade Fedorinin and head. The regional trade department of Comrade Nasekina should ensure the uninterrupted supply of food to the evacuated children and monitor the correct use of the allocated funds, as well as take measures to satisfy them with linen, clothes, and shoes.

Recommend the Civil Code and the Republic of Kazakhstan of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks to organize the purchase of clothing and footwear for evacuated children at the expense of parents, and for children of child care institutions and children whose parents do not have funds - at the expense of budget allocations and public funds (collective farms, promartels, trade unions and other public receipts). In addition, find the possibility of tailoring shoes and clothes locally from local resources.

3. Oblige the district committees, city committees of the CPSU (b) and head. Oblono Comrade Khodyakov to check the staff of educators in orphanages and kindergartens, to strengthen these institutions with the best qualified educators.

4. Oblige the regional committee of the Komsomol (comrade Plakkhina) to check the state of work of the Komsomol and pioneer detachments in the orphanages of evacuated children and organize political educational work so that the children are involved in community service, as well as organize reasonable entertainment (physical education, games, excursions, etc.).

5. To propose to the head of the regional administration of labor reserves, Comrade Polyakov, when enrolling students in vocational railway schools and schools of the FZO, first of all, to accept evacuated older children.

6. In order to carry out these measures, Party and Soviet bodies, as well as public education bodies, should widely involve women's activists in order to ensure maternal care for children. To this end, at each orphanage to organize an asset of women-socialists.

7. Instruct the Department of Propaganda and Agitation of the Regional Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks to monitor the implementation of this decision.

Memorandum of the Tambov oblono and the regional committee of the All-Union Leninist Young Communist League to the regional committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks on the results of the inspection of the Kardymovsky and Saburovsky orphanages
February 4, 1942

I. The Kardymovsky orphanage arrived from the Smolensk region after being evacuated and is now located in the Ekaterininsky s / s of the Nikiforovsky district. All pupils 152 people school age. The room where the children live is damp and cold, t 0o, and sometimes lower. The walls are frozen through and covered with snow, the ceiling is leaking in the bedrooms and the dining room, there is not a single log of firewood, they are heated with raw peat, which is brought daily for 10 km. Breakfast starts to be prepared from two in the morning, so that the children have time to eat before school.

The orphanage received an order for 20 cubic meters of firewood, but the district plan proposes to prepare firewood using the orphanage. On this issue, I had to talk with the second secretary of the RK of the CPSU (b), but they did not come to anything, the question remained open. The orphanage itself will not be able to prepare firewood due to the fact that the children are poorly dressed and there are no tools.

The situation is no better when it comes to food. Children have breakfast, lunch and dinner from one dish - potato soup. On 1/II-42 there was not a gram of cereals and fats in the pantry of the orphanage, and there was also no meat. The director of the orphanage has to get groceries every day. There are no products in stock.

Bread is given to children by 400 grams, and then intermittently. There were days when the children were completely left without bread. Moreover, there is a bakery next to the orphanage, but it does not sell bread for the orphanage, and they have to go for bread to Nikiforovka for 18 km. Behind january month In 1942, the d / d did not receive a single gram of cereals and fats, and even the products that rely on the d / d along with the d / d cannot receive (the district consumer union or the general store distributes part of the products d / d among themselves).

Example: along with the district consumer union released for d / d:

household soap. - 30 kg, but received only 20 kg;
herring - 65 -//-, -//- 55 kg;
canned food - 25 cans, -//- 20 cans
and natural tea - 3 kg. -//- 1 kg 750 gr.

Help attached. And these facts are not isolated.

Saburovsky d / d was released 30 kg. herring, but did not receive a d / d. The director of the d / d told the prosecutor about this, but there were no consequences.

Sanitary condition of the orphanage

The orphanage is located in Ekaterininskaya primary school. The premises are unsuitable for habitation. There are no amenities: no laundry, dryer, bathhouse, isolation room, no outbuildings. The room is cold, damp, dirty and uncomfortable. The sanitary condition of bed and underwear is satisfactory. There are not enough beds for everyone, so 2 people sleep. on the bunk. There is one shift of bed linen, 2 shifts of underwear and dresses.

7 people they do not have a winter coat, the children are shod in wadded burkas, instead of galoshes, slippers are put on burochkas. It will be bad with shoes in the spring, the children have no shoes.

Teaching and educational work of the orphanage

In addition to the general plan of educational work d / d, each teacher has calendar plan work and educational plan. The audit showed that the work plans are carried out accurately. The discipline of the pupils of the kindergarten is good, they attend school well. The results of academic performance for the 2nd [th] quarter for d / d - 96.6%, 47% of excellent students and shock students.

All children are covered by social competition.

The following voluntary circles work: a circle of BGSO, a circle of self-defense, a sports and acrobatic circle, a choral circle, a literary, musical, agricultural, circle of needlework.

The leaders and educators of the orphanage are a strong and friendly team, they treat children with maternal care and love. Director of the d / d t. Malyavko and head. the educational part of Comrade. Khlebtsevich has been working in this nursery for 22 years, educators and attendants have been working for 5-10 years, they have extensive experience in their work.

The pioneer organization works well. The detachment was built according to the type of the Timurov team. Now the team is preparing war games "for assault". All pioneers wear ties. They help the families of Red Army soldiers: they bring water, fuel, look after the children if the mothers are at work.

The Komsomol organization is working well. The secretary is the teacher Vasilyeva. Komsomol meetings are systematically held according to the plan, at which the reports and speeches of the leaders, the decisions of the party and government are studied. Help educators in the work of d / d. Now the Komsomol organization has taken patronage over the Luch collective farm in preparation for spring (collection of mineral fertilizers, seed sorting, etc.). Checking the Kardymovsky d / d, we invited the medical assistant comrade. Ilyin, according to the conclusion of which there are no epidemic and contagious patients in the d / d.

II. About the state of the children's home. Kirov, who arrived by evacuation from the Smolensk region and now lives in the Saburovsky s / s in the Nikiforovsky district

The situation in this orphanage is very difficult. The orphanage is located in the Saburovskaya NSSh on the 1st floor. The room is cramped, cold and damp. The walls were frozen through and covered with snow. They are heated by frozen peat, which is brought for 20 km. Moreover, there is no fuel at all in the reserve, and if bad weather comes, the children are in danger of being left without food due to the delivery of peat.

Children live very crowded, sleep 2-3 people per bed. Children are dirty, dirty bedding and underwear. Food is also bad. Children eat only potato soup. The d / d especially does not need bedding and underwear. There are 2 shifts of bed linen, 3 shifts of underwear and dresses.

The kindergarten does not have a general plan of educational work. The educators have work plans, but they have been drawn up hastily, carelessly and have not been checked by the director. Head the educational part is a young worker with no experience. I had to point out the shortcomings in the work.

According to the doctors, the area in Yekaterinino and Saburovo is malarial, and when spring comes, there is a danger of children getting malaria. The premises are not suitable for orphanages. Therefore, the d / d must be transferred to a more convenient area.

They talked about the condition of the Kardymov and Saburovsky d / houses with the Secretary of the RK of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks, Comrade Milokhin, with the Secretary of the RK of the All-Union Leninist Young Communist League, with the chairman of the district executive committee and the district consumer union.

To ask the regional committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks and the regional committee of the All-Union Leninist Young Communist League to oblige district party and Soviet organizations to manage and provide assistance to orphanages.

Decree of the Bureau of the Tambov Regional Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks “On the state of the Tulinovo orphanage” *
March 31, 1942
Owls. secret

The Tulinovo orphanage, which arrived in 1941 after being evacuated from the Smolensk region, has been brought to a state of dissoluteness and collapse. A bunch of idlers and rogues who made their way there, led by the head. the educational part (he is also the acting director of the orphanage) Zhivozhenko, conducted clearly criminal work aimed at corrupting and killing the children there. Children live in extremely difficult living conditions, live in dirty and cold rooms, sleep 5-7 people in one bed, do not have clothes and shoes, food is not organized. Only 3 out of 106 children attend school. Educational work in the orphanage itself is not carried out. Worse, the orphanage employees themselves are clearly corrupting the children, playing cards with them, smoking, and the paramedic Dolzhnikov taught the children to forge “soap” from wax and exchange it for various things for the population of the surrounding villages.

Such a criminal attitude towards children on the part of the administration of the orphanage led to the fact that out of 106 children, 37 people were seriously ill, of which 24 people had typhus, 3 had tuberculosis, etc.

The orphanage has every opportunity to create normal living conditions for the children. There are beds, bedding, clothes and linen in the pantries, but the administration of the orphanage did not consider it necessary to use all this. The head teacher Zhivozhenko (who is also the acting director) left the house to the mercy of fate and spent 8 days in Tambov, living in his apartment.

Oblono, the regional committee of the All-Union Leninist Young Communist League, the Tambov Republican Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks and the district executive committee overlooked the criminal actions of the administration of the orphanage and, despite many visits to the orphanage by representatives of these organizations, did not reveal these facts in time and did not eliminate them.

The Bureau of the Regional Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks decides:

1. Offer the head. oblono t. director of the orphanage Zhivozhenko, medical paramedic Dolzhnikov, Art. Pioneer leader Ryskina and bring them to justice.

2. To propose to the oblono and the regional committee of the All-Union Leninist Young Communist League within five days to staff the orphanage with experienced Komsomol teachers and take measures to improve the orphanage.

3. Oblige the head. oblono - comrade Khodyakova, the regional trade department - comrade Zhdanova and the regional consumer union - comrade Krasnoshchekova until April 20 this year, to provide children from the orphanage with clothes and shoes and organize the supply of children with food.

4. Oblige the head. The regional health department of Comrade Gasparyan, in order to restore sanitary order in the Tulinovsky orphanage and stop the diseases of children, attach a doctor to the orphanage and send a qualified paramedic to permanent work in the orphanage.

5. To draw the attention of the Tambov RK of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks and the district executive committee to their lack of concern for the orphanage and the failure to take timely measures to improve it.

6. To oblige all the Civil Code and the Republic of Kazakhstan of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks to check the work of all orphanages by April 20 this year, take measures to ensure normal working conditions for them and report on the measures taken by a memorandum to the regional party committee.

* From the protocol No. 208 of the meeting of the bureau of the Tambov Regional Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks dated March 31-April 2, 1942

№ 4
Memorandum of the head of the agitation sector of the Tambov Regional Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks A.D. Burashnikova to the First Secretary of the Regional Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks I.A. Volkov on the state and preparation of children's homes in the region for winter
November 11, 1942

There are 44 orphanages in the Tambov region, including 23 evacuated and 3 newly organized from single children left without parents for one reason or another. In orphanages there are 4525 children aged 3 to 14 years and a small part of 15-16 years old. Of these, 2518 people were evacuated.

All evacuated orphanages are located in the districts in school buildings. Many orphanages have premises that are not comfortable enough to serve the existing number of children. The premises of the Kardymovsky, Tulinovsky, Pokrovo-Marfinsky, Danilovsky orphanages are especially cramped. Individual heads of district organizations, regardless of this provision, transfer premises belonging to orphanages for other purposes. In Algasovo, for example, the premises of the orphanage were transferred to the apartment of a veterinarian. In Danilovsky, two rooms were confiscated for classes, etc.

This year it was necessary to make repairs in 26 orphanages, in 14 of them - capital. Only 10 have been repaired.

In all the evacuated orphanages, there is a complete lack of equipment and tableware. In the Perevozovsky orphanage in the Rzhaksinsky district, there is no equipment other than beds. There are only 8 plates in the dining room, of which 76 people eat in turn. There are no tables in the Umetsky orphanage, they are replaced by desks, there is no dining room and kitchen utensils in this orphanage. There is no furniture in the Kamensky orphanage, except for beds. In the Kardymovsky orphanage, due to the lack of dishes and tables, children dine in three shifts.

Fuel

Especially acute is the issue of fuel for orphanages. At present, the region's orphanages have about 20% of their annual fuel needs. Such orphanages as Nos. 8, 6 (Tambov), Krupskaya (Morshansk), Perevozovsky (Rzhaksa), Khilkovsky (Umet), Tulinovsky (Tambovsky rural district), Ternovsky (Inzhavino), Poletaevsky, have fuel for 5-10 days.

Uniforms for children

Only 20% of children are provided with warm clothes and leather shoes. To fully meet the needs of orphanages in clothing and footwear, it is necessary to purchase 1,800 coats and 3,000 pairs of shoes.

The evacuated children are especially poorly provided with clothes and footwear. In the Semyonovsky orphanage in the Inzhavinsky district, only 50% of children have coats (and even those are dilapidated). Children are forced to use coats to attend school in turn. There are no shoes and underwear for boys, there are no hats. All the boys continue to go to the collective farms to clean the seeds in their caps.

The winter coats of the children of orphanage No. 6 (Tambov) need to be replaced by 50%; children do not have cold and warm shoes at all. Existing shoes require a thorough repair. 8 children walk in slippers.

Most of the children in Orphanage No. 3 (Tambov) are dressed in chuvyaks and do not have hats. There are only 48 pairs of shoes and 25 hats for 84 people. Orphanages are not provided with linen and bed linen: there are from 1 to 3 shifts (not everywhere).

The boys of the Karaulsky orphanage have absolutely no underwear. They still wear shorts and one shirt.

Orphanages experience great difficulty in obtaining soap. Only in Rasskazovsky, Kulyabovsky, Sampursky, Rzhaksinsky orphanages in this respect things are going well.

In the Semyonovsky orphanage there were periods when the children did not swim for three months. The children got lice and had scabies. In the Karaulsky orphanage, for three months, linen was washed exclusively with lye, and now there is no soap. There are lice on the children's underwear.

Nutrition

Over the past three months, nutrition in orphanages has improved somewhat due to the presence of subsidiary farms at orphanages. In May-June and July, the food in the orphanages was very poor. This is due to the fact that the regional trade department and the regional consumer union include in the orders such products that are never sold (pasta, confectionery, sausages, canned food, herring). In themselves, the funds allocated for children's food are large, but they are not real, since non-commercial products are not replaced by others. There are no norms for the sale of food for each child and vegetables are not prepared for the winter due to the lack of outfits for them, and the district executive committees without this cannot allow the receipt of vegetables from collective farms.

Labor training for children from orphanages

Children's homes do not have workshops. The existing workshops at some orphanages were curtailed due to the lack of premises for workshops or the transfer of equipment to other organizations. This year, the work of children was widely organized in agriculture.

Teaching and educational work

Children of orphanages studied at schools at their location. The best orphanages for the education and upbringing of children are: the Morshansky orphanage named after Lenin, which gave 100% student achievement, Kardymovsky - 100%, N[izhne]-Shibryaevsky - 94%. The worst in terms of performance are children's homes: Sampursky - 68.3%, Rasskazovsky - 76.1%, Umetsky - 75%.

In the Umetsky orphanage:

in the second grade, 3 people are in time, unsuccessful - 9
in the third -//- 13 -//- 9
in the fifth -//- 2 -//- 2
there are no achievers in the sixth.

In orphanage No. 3 (Tambov), teachers prepare poorly for lessons. Teacher Koshchenkova taught a lesson on the topic: "The collapse of the Kyiv principality" without a map. The teacher asked the children difficult questions and gave the wrong answers herself. To the question "What is a state?" answered: “The state is when one tribe defeats another” or “The Kiev principality went bankrupt because Byzantine merchants traveled to Novgorod without stopping by Kyiv.” The history lesson was not used for educational purposes. Speaking about the atrocities perpetrated by the victors on the vanquished, the teacher did not say a word about the atrocities of the German fascists against the Soviet people in the areas temporarily occupied by them.

Control on the part of oblono and district departments of public education over education and upbringing in orphanages is completely insufficient.

District committees of the All-Union Leninist Young Communist League have withdrawn from work in orphanages.

Oblono manages orphanages extremely unsatisfactorily: during the year not a single question of principle was raised before Party and Soviet organizations about orphanages.

The reason for such a difficult situation in orphanages was the completely intolerant attitude towards orphanages on the part of the district committees of the CPSU (b), district executive committees, oblono and Komsomol organizations, which did not understand that now in the conditions of war, when most children's parents either died at the front or are fighting on battlefield, protecting the freedom and independence of their homeland, children must be surrounded by special attention, love, care of the whole people and, above all, the leaders of party, economic and Soviet organizations.

The collective farm "Process" deducted from the general collective farm fund 5 centners of wheat, 2 centners of sunflower, 5 centners of millet and 1 cow for meat. Collective farmers collect potatoes from their own stocks.

Explanatory work was carried out among the students of the Uvarovskaya secondary school about the provision of specific assistance to children. Students of the Uvarovskaya school have already collected 6 sacks of potatoes and wrote an appeal to all students of the Uvarovskiy district with an appeal to help orphanages. All schools have already started collecting potatoes.

In the Karaulsky orphanage, 180 pairs of felt boots are missing, in Semenovsky - 5 pairs of felt boots.

Children's homes are not sufficiently provided with food. Released outfits are purchased incompletely and with a great delay. Food supplies are available for 1-2 days. The patronage of collective farms over orphanages is not organized, and only individual collective farms provide assistance in improving nutrition.

All orphanages have a subsidiary farm. The Karaul orphanage has a land plot of 36 hectares, 7 cows, 40 sheep, 2 pigs and 6 horses. Food is fully provided.

Memorandum of the Head of the Propaganda and Agitation Department of the Michurinsky City Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks M.D. Polilova to the Regional Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks on the state of orphanages and measures taken to improve their work
Previously 3 December 1942

There are three orphanages in Michurinsk: an orphanage for an infant for 70 people, an orphanage for preschoolers for 100 people, an orphanage "15 years of October" for children of school age for 102 people.

Orphanage for an infant

Of the total number of children in the orphanage, children of front-line soldiers - 9 people and children of evacuees - 11 people. Appearance children good. Most of the children are clean (there are only a few children with skin diseases). Underwear and bed linen are clean. There are 2 shifts for linens.

The staff of the orphanage is understaffed. There are no two nurses, four nannies, three nurses. But in terms of the number of children available, the workers cope quite well. The orphanage has been completely renovated. The orphanage is fully provided with fuel for the entire heating season.

Children's food is good. The lack of nutrition is that there is little milk. Now the situation with milk has improved. The orphanage is fully provided with vegetables for the whole year. Not yet fully provided with potatoes.

Orphanage of preschool age

The orphanage is designed for 100 people. Currently, there are 86 children in the orphanage, of which 50 are children of front-line soldiers. The orphanage in Michurinsk was evacuated from Minsk.

The orphanage is fully prepared for winter. Inside the building is clean and tidy. The orphanage is fully staffed. There are 11 teachers in the orphanage, of which 7 people have a special pedagogical education with a preschool bias. Teaching and educational work with children in this orphanage is well organized. Each teacher has a plan of educational work, there is a general plan for the work of the orphanage. The entire apparatus of the orphanage competes with each other. Meetings are held with educators once a month on methodological and production issues.

Children are fully provided with clothes and shoes. The food is good. Children are healthy and clean. Bed linen and underwear are clean. Linen has four shifts.

The shortcoming in the work of the orphanage is that it does not have a completely separate room for an insulator. The room set aside for the insulator currently has a common [message] with the rest of the rooms and, quite understandably, does not correspond to its intended purpose.
The orphanage on 1/XII is provided with fuel by 48%. Fuel is delivered daily.

As of 1/XII, there are 102 children aged 8 to 17 in the orphanage. Of the total number of children, 50% are children of front-line soldiers and evacuees.

The renovation of the orphanage's premises has been completed, and the premises are fully prepared for the winter. Fuel delivered by 62%.

Teaching and educational work in the orphanage is well organized. There is a plan of educational work. The work on preparing children for lessons, as well as circle work with children, is well put. Children are fully provided with clothes and shoes.

In terms of nutrition, the orphanage has one big drawback in that until now they have received a norm of cereal products at the rate of 70 grams per person, which is not enough for older children.

What has been done by the city committee of the CPSU (b)

On 17/XI-42, the issue of the state of children's institutions in the city was heard at the bureau of the city committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks with a preliminary examination of orphanages and other children's institutions.

Fulfilling the decision of the Bureau of the Regional Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks of 12/XI and the decision of the Bureau of the Civil Code of 17/XI-42, the following activities have now been carried out:

1. Every day, fuel is delivered to children's institutions, and at present the provision of fuel is as follows: the orphanage for an infant is fully provided; orphanage of a preschooler - provided for 48%; orphanage "15 years of October" - provided for 62%.

2. Children are fully provided with winter clothes and footwear.

3. In orphanages of preschool and school age there are four shifts of bed linen and underwear, and in an orphanage for infants there are two shifts.

4. Children's homes are fully provided with vegetables (cabbage, tomatoes, carrots, cucumbers) for the whole year. Not yet fully provided with potatoes.

5. The supply of milk to children (children's homes for infants and preschoolers) is being improved at the expense of suburban farms.

6. In terms of improving educational work (in the orphanage "15 years of October"), the following measures have been taken by the city government:

a) all pupils of the orphanage are attached to one secondary school No. 7 (for better coordination with the school);

b) for uninterrupted school attendance, all pupils are provided with shoes (leather and felt boots) and clothes;

c) all pupils of the orphanage are fully provided with school supplies. Issued on 1/IX and 25/XI: 170 pencils, 100 colored pencils, 100 pens, 300 pens. There are textbooks of all titles. The situation is worse with notebooks. A limited number of notebooks were given - only one notebook per student. In the coming days (3-5/XII) notebooks from Tambov will be brought, and children from the orphanage will be fully provided with notebooks.

A common drawback for all orphanages is that there is absolutely no lighting in any orphanage, about which we ask the regional committee of the AUCP(b) to provide assistance in this.

We ask the Regional Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks to also resolve the issue of increasing the norms of cereals for older children (for school orphanages), who currently receive the norm on an equal basis with children in preschool institutions, i.e. 70 grams per day.

Part of the products, such as potatoes, cabbage, carrots, onions, etc., were collected by the children from their plot. The collective farms of the Skobelevsky and Staro-Aleksandrovsky s / soviets, which have fulfilled state obligations, provide great assistance to the orphanage with agricultural products.

Teaching and educational work

All 103 school-age children study at school. Children in grades 6[x] and 7[x] attend secondary school, while children in grades 1–5[x] study indoors due to the lack of warm footwear.

28/XI this year The Bureau of the Republic of Kazakhstan of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks heard the director of the orphanage about the condition and work of the orphanage. The decision provides for a number of measures to eliminate shortcomings in the provision of the orphanage. The decision is being implemented. During this time another 50 m3 of peat was delivered.

Explanatory work is being carried out among collective farms and collective farmers to collect wool for the children of the orphanage. 40 kg have already been collected, from which felt boots will be dumped.

The head of the orphanage (collective farm "Lenin's Way" of the Staro-Aleksandrovsky village council) undertook to repair 15 broken beds. This will make it possible to reduce the number of children sleeping in pairs by 15 people.

The Komsomol Committee was asked to send a pioneer leader to the orphanage immediately.

From the memorandum of the secretary for work among school youth and pioneers of the Tambov regional committee of the Komsomol A.N. Danilkina to the Central Committee of the All-Union Leninist Young Communist League on assistance to orphanages, orphans
January 28, 1943

Having discussed the decision of the Central Committee of the All-Union Leninist Young Communist League of September 15, 1942, the Komsomol organizations developed practical measures for each district and Komsomol primary organization on assistance to orphanages, orphans[s], schools in the coverage of universal education, etc.

The regional committee of the Komsomol asked the regional committee of the party to discuss this issue at the bureau of the regional committee of the party, after which they made 2000 pairs of boots, 2000 coats and fur coats, 2000 hats, 2000 pairs of cold shoes, 1000 blankets, gave 1000 m of manufactory, 1500 kg of soap, 2000 kg of kerosene, 3000 pieces of toys, etc., other things.

District and city Komsomol committees with departments of public education revised the composition of pioneer leaders and educators. In December, they held a meeting of directors of orphanages, in November - a meeting with pioneer leaders of orphanages. On December 29, a plenum of the regional committee of the Komsomol was held with the invitation of the secretaries of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the GK Komsomol, head. rono, gorono, directors of secondary schools on the issue of "On the restructuring of work in pioneer squads", where they analyzed in detail the work in orphanages, and the fight against child neglect, and the prevention of child homelessness, discussed the issue at a meeting of the head. rono, gorono.

Komsomol organizations and public education departments of the region began to pay more attention to orphanages and patronized children. Members of the Komsomol and teachers organized a collection of gifts for orphanages in the Kirsanov district, sent 15 tons of potatoes, 1.5 cents. meat, onions, cabbage, tomatoes, etc., organized the supply of fuel. Khobotovsky district collected 3 tons of potatoes, flour, cereals, meat, butter for Michurin's orphanages. Nikiforovsky RK VLKSM collected 12 tons of potatoes, 10 geese, 15 chickens. Uvarovskiy RK VLKSM collected 1 ton of millet, 15 cents. wheat, 70 kg of meat, 2 cents. sunflower and other products. Morshansky GK Komsomol rendered good help in the repair of the orphanage and in the provision of food. The pioneers of the city of Tambov delivered 1,800 cubic meters to orphanages on skids. meters of peat and firewood. The Yurlovsky RK VLKSM organized a collection of things and food for patronized and neglected children, as a result of which 360 children were returned to school. Over the past month, _____* children have been returned to schools in the region.

Komsomol organizations began to engage more seriously in educational work in orphanages and schools. A socialist competition for the best orphanage began in the region. They established a challenge Red Banner and two awards: 1st prize - 2000 rubles, 2nd prize - 1000 rubles. The first summing up of the results of the competition was held on December 16, the 2nd summing up will be held in June.

The 1st place in the region was taken by the Kardymovsky orphanage. The orphanage has a 100% academic performance, 75% of excellent students. All children are pioneers, wonderful social activists. Each pioneer has a sponsored Red Army family; pioneers often perform amateur performances before the population.

All summer, children from the orphanage worked on agricultural work on their land plot d / house (4.5 hectares of arable land and 10 hectares of hay), in three neighboring collective farms (Luch, Trud, named after Kalinin) and in two state farms ("Collectivist" and "Catherine's Stronghold"). […]**.

2nd place was taken by the orphanage. Stalin in Morshansk, which has a 100% academic performance, excellent students - 68%, all children are pioneers, wonderful social activists, they worked to ship potatoes and tobacco to the Bryansk Front, collect scrap metal, bottles, patronize the families of front-line soldiers.

3rd place was taken by the Uvarovsky orphanage. Has a performance of 97%, excellent students - 40%. Pioneers are good public figures.

The secretaries of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Komsomol Committee and the Komsomol activists began to consider it their duty to visit orphanages, give reports, lectures, and talks there. In orphanages there are secretaries and instructors of the regional committee of the Komsomol.

The situation with children's homes in the region has improved, but there are still children's homes that do not have enough living space (there are 5 of them). There are 4 orphanages where it is necessary to change the heads of orphanages. It is very bad in orphanages with cold shoes and bed linen. Now a large number of leaders are recruiting to these houses, and in April-May we will transfer the orphanages, which have little living space, to other buildings.

Now the Komsomol organizations are working to expand the patronage of collective farmers over children's homes.

There is a very difficult situation with patronized children in the region. The regional committee of the Komsomol now has 10,000 rubles. of money. We agreed with the regional executive committee to use these funds in factories to make shoes and underwear from consumer goods, which we will send to children, and Komsomol organizations are now working to create good conditions for patronized children.

The regional committee of the All-Union Leninist Young Communist League submitted a proposal to the regional executive committee in order to make a decision and restore the work of the commission under the regional executive committee, which developed a work plan. From December 25 to February 1, members of the commission at the regional executive committee will hold cluster meetings of chairmen of commissions of cities, districts, heads of departments of public education on the issue of combating child neglect and homelessness.

Now there are 4 children's canteens in the cities of the region.

The bad thing is that the House of Pioneers in Tambov is not working due to the lack of a building.

Over the past two months, the number of children in the children's home has increased in the Tambov region, and especially at the expense of children from the Moscow region and the Tula region. Children from these regions come to our region to exchange things for food (children aged 12-14). The Tambov regional committee of the Komsomol asks the Central Committee of the All-Union Leninist Young Communist League to draw the attention of the Komsomol organizations of the Moscow and Tula regions to work with children and their parents.

Report of the instructor of the Tambov Regional Committee of the All-Union Leninist Young Communist League Perekhozhinskaya to the Regional Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks on the organization of an orphanage in the Izberdeevsky district
July 3, 1943

There are 200 orphans in the Izberdeevsky district who live on patronage. At the district meeting of chairmen of collective farms, the chairman of the collective farm "Decisive" Comrade. Dvurechensky, the chairman of the Rosa Luxembourg [collective farm] comrade Polivov, the chairman of the Palnevsky village council comrade Dronov made a proposal to organize an orphanage for orphans. This proposal was supported by all the chairmen of the collective farms. We decided to open an orphanage for 100 people. We immediately set about organizing it. They drew up a distribution order, according to which each collective farm must give out a certain amount (providing an orphanage for a year) of food and livestock. Now the collective farms have transferred 4 cows, 2 horses, 40 sheep and 5 hectares of land to the orphanage. They brought food (meat, butter, eggs, pasta, honey).

The district consumer union allocated white knitted suits, hats, and towels for children. On the spot, they managed to find 15 beds, mattresses, blankets, pillows, pillowcases, curtains, curtains, etc. The artel ordered wooden beds, bedside tables and stools.

The most picturesque place in the region was chosen for the orphanage. A new school has recently been built in Uspenovka village. The building of the old school was given to the orphanage. A dining room and a kitchen will be built again, a laundry room, a shower room, and a sports ground will be equipped. A detailed and extensive plan for organizing an orphanage has been outlined.

The house is located in a huge orchard (19 hectares), which descends to the river. The garden now belongs to the state farm, located 25 kilometers from the garden. District organizations are petitioning to transfer this kindergarten to an orphanage. The kindergarten* will have a specialist gardener who will teach children how to garden. Near the orphanage there is an incomplete secondary school and a hospital. The director of the orphanage, 4 educators and a cook have been selected, the rest of the staff has not yet been selected.

The district committee of the party, the district committee of the Komsomol, the district council and others take an active and direct part in the organization of the orphanage. local organizations and institutions.

Komsomol members and youth took up the organization of the orphanage with passion. Under the leadership of the secretary of the district committee of the Komsomol comrade. Parshevoy created a Komsomol youth brigade of 13 people. The team repaired and whitewashed the room in three days, equipped it with portraits, posters, flowers, hung embroidered curtains and drapes.

On July 1, in the evening, the first 16 children arrived at the orphanage. The teachers took the children to the hospital for a medical examination, then to the bathhouse. The boys had their hair cut and changed into new white suits. Warmly and caringly met the kids in the orphanage cozy, clean and bright rooms. There are beds in rows, covered with blue bed blankets, embroidered curtains on the windows, flowers. The new owners were very happy with their home.

Residents of the Uspenovka village also came to meet the children and brought them gifts. After dinner the children went to bed. In the coming days, other children will arrive at the orphanage.

An orphanage needs shoes and a manufactory for sewing linen. Glass is also needed to glaze the windows of the newly built dining room.

Much has not yet been done in the Uspenovsky orphanage, much is only being designed. But the leaders of the district assured that in two weeks the children will have everything they need.

The enthusiasm and energy with which the collective farmers, Komsomol members and youth of the region undertook this wonderful patriotic cause allow us to fully hope for this promise.

Letter from the police department of the UNKVD for the Tambov region to the first secretary of the Tambov regional committee of the Komsomol S.E. Tarasov on the fight against child neglect
December 23, 1944

The war with the Nazi invaders created the conditions for the development of neglect of children, whose fathers in most cases are at the front, their mothers work in enterprises and institutions. Children, left to their own devices, are engaged in walking around the markets, petty trade, and sometimes thefts. Finding a child in the market develops bad habits in him. The child falls behind in school and eventually drops out of attendance.

Only by the forces of police officers in 1944, 1,200 people were detained for neglect within the city of Tambov, of which 795 were students, and 405 were not students. In the region, 2275 people were detained for neglect, of which 1795 were students, 480 were not students.

With the onset of winter, children, for lack of skating rinks in the city, skate through the streets, clinging to passing cars, exposing themselves to the danger of being maimed.

An inspection of a number of schools conducted by the police found that there is no duty on the part of both the teaching staff and high school students during breaks and the end of classes in schools.

It is impossible to carry out such a huge work to prevent the development of child neglect without the participation of the public by the police forces alone. Our repeated appeals to the Tambov city committee for the allocation of Komsomol members to remove neglected children from the markets and streets of the city remained unfulfilled. Not a single member of the Komsomol in 1944 took part in this great and honorable work.

Upon receipt of this, we ask you to instruct grassroots Komsomol organizations to take an active part in the fight against child neglect.

Certificate from the BDBB Department of the NKVD for the Tambov Region to the Regional Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks on the state of child homelessness, neglect and crime in the Tambov Region for 9 months of 1945
October 6, 1945
Secret

In total, children were detained by the territorial police in the 1st [m] quarter 473 people, in the 2nd [m] quarter - 661, of which 36 were homeless, 625 were neglected. 480 people were detained in the city of Tambov in the 2nd [m] quarter , in the city of Michurinsk - 140 and in the city of Morshansk - 41. Transport police (excluding the city of Morshansk) detained 506 people in the 2nd [m] quarter.

Over the past 9 months of 1945, 1004 homeless and neglected children and adolescents were admitted to children's reception centers. Of those admitted, there were 562 orphans, 104 who had lost contact with their parents, 183 who had left their parents, 173 who had escaped from orphanages (including 66 from orphanages in the Tambov region), and 38 who had escaped from the schools and schools of the FZO.

The children admitted to foster homes are natives of: Tambov region - 211 people, Moscow region - 92, Voronezh region - 53, Penza region - 50, Leningrad region - 40, Oryol region - 38, Smolensk region - 29, Rostov region - 23, Ryazan region - 28, Kuibyshev region - 31, Stalingrad - 22, Voroshilovgrad - 23 people, etc.

Last year, 1944, during the same period, 1,456 homeless and neglected children were admitted to orphanages. Of those admitted, there were 692 orphans, 118 who had lost contact with their parents, 290 who had left their parents, 160 who had escaped from orphanages, and 104 who had escaped from schools and schools of the FZO.

All children admitted to children's homes were removed from passing trains by representatives of the police, detained at markets, train stations, and [in] other places of congestion.

Over the past 9 months of this year, 928 homeless and neglected children and adolescents left the children's homes. Of these, 238 were sent to orphanages, 62 to schools and schools of the FZO, and were employed in industry and railways. transport - 74, agriculture - 11, sent to labor educational colonies - 195, transferred to patronage - 9, returned to relatives - 250, fled from orphanages - 30, sent to hospitals and judicial-investigative bodies and other places - 9.

Juvenile delinquency is characterized by the following data. In the 3rd quarter of 1944, 128 crimes committed by minors were registered, in the 4th quarter of 1945 - 66, in the 1st quarter of 1945 - 56 and in the 2nd quarter - 73. In the first quarter of the crime, 114 minors were involved, including homeless people - 9, schoolchildren - 17, students of remuchilis and schools of the FZO - 16, working in production - 26, employed in agriculture - 15, not working anywhere, living at the expense of their parents - 31.

In the Tambov region there are 3 children's reception centers in the cities of Tambov, Michurinsk and Morshansk. The children's homes are staffed. The composition of educators in them is selected efficient. The sanitary and technical condition of the children's homes is satisfactory. The rooms are clean, there is a sufficient amount of equipment. The orphanages are satisfactorily supplied with material allowances and foodstuffs. Each receiver has a subsidiary farm.

In addition to children's homes in the above cities, there are police children's rooms at city departments and railway transport. These rooms work satisfactorily.

A significant shortcoming in the fight against child homelessness and neglect is the lack of public participation in this matter. Despite the raising of this issue in the regional committee of the All-Union Leninist Young Communist League, in the regional executive committee and at meetings held in the department with representatives of regional organizations, Komsomol organizations take part from time to time, and trade union organizations stand completely aside.

Until August of this year, there were two labor educational colonies in the Tambov region. One of them, Vyazhlinskaya, has been closed since August. Remained operating Tambov with a contingent of 300 people. Now it is being renovated and prepared for winter. One of the major shortcomings in the colony is the poor composition of educators, the lack of teachers, the absence of leaders of amateur art circles and the head of military physical education. Our repeated appeals to the oblono and the regional council of physical education for the allocation of the necessary personnel did not give any results.

Red Builder in 2002. This house is no more

Stalin's two-story buildings are considered to be uncomfortable, low-grade housing. Citizens often call them the offensive word "barracks", implying not only the poor quality of construction, but also absolute architectural squalor.
At the same time, a closer look, both at the houses themselves and at the history of their creation, shows that we have before us one of the most curious layers of Moscow architecture of the 20th century, which, alas, is now rapidly disappearing.
Some of them are truly beautiful and deserve to be called architectural monuments. Others, having more modest artistic merit, are valuable because they have well preserved the flavor of the passing era. Still others, accidentally preserved in areas of new development, simply show what was here before.

Immediately after the end of the Great Patriotic War, due to an acute housing crisis, mass construction was launched in the country. Since, within the framework of Stalinist culture, architecture was considered one of the most important tools for educating a new type of people, this direction became one of the priorities. Leading architects of the USSR were involved in its implementation.

before newly created architectural ensembles there were the following requirements: ideological load, visibility, edification, prettiness. Ideally, a single style should permeate everything - from the most important ideological structures to the smallest details of everyday life. In practice, of course, this turned out on a relatively modest scale, but still, low-rise buildings of this style determined the appearance of many cities - Velikiye Luki restored after the war, Angarsk, Volzhsky, Zhigulevsk, etc.


Izmailovo. 6th Park, 32. 1951

The victory over fascist Germany, which caused a surge of patriotic sentiments, and the struggle against Western influence imposed from above forced the architects to turn to the Russian architectural tradition. If the forms of the Naryshkin baroque were borrowed for high-rise or front buildings, then the Russian Empire of 1810-30 was the most suitable for low-rise buildings. Designed by the architect Osip Bove for the restoration of Moscow after the fire of 1812, the typical projects of residential buildings became the "great-grandfathers" of two- and three-story buildings of the 1940s. This is how a bizarre "estate" layer of Soviet architecture appeared, harmoniously combining economy and splendor, comfort and ideology, mass character and individuality.

Direct predecessors

In the pre-war years, low-rise construction was not given much attention in Moscow, and major architects did not deal with it. Two-story buildings of a very modest appearance appeared near enterprises, railway stations and military units, sometimes in the courtyards of houses in the city center. Most often they were erected from logs, shields or other not very durable materials. Brick was rarely used - it was cherished for larger buildings.


Kuntsevo. Petra Alekseeva, 10

Once upon a time there were a lot of such houses in Moscow, but only a few have survived to this day, surviving in the outlying areas.
Of the wooden buildings, it is worth noting the imposing two-story log building of the 1920s and 30s near the factory of Pyotr Alekseev (P. Alekseev St., 10) and a one-story house 5a on the same street. Another wooden two-story house built in 1929 is still preserved near the Uzkoye estate (Profsoyuznaya st., 123). All of them are still inhabited.



Wooden house in the estate "Uzkoe". 1929

Two wooden plastered two-story buildings have been preserved on Novozavodskaya Street near the Khrunichev plant. There are no residents in them for a long time, now the offices of the plant are located there. Buildings similar to them also survived in Koptevo and in the area of ​​the Water Stadium. Now, when there are almost no traces of wooden Moscow left, these surviving buildings can be used to judge the appearance and life of our city in the mid-twentieth century, when hundreds of thousands of Muscovites lived in such houses.


Koptevo. Red two-story barracks of the 1930s and 40s.

Now it seems strange, but even in the areas of exemplary buildings of the post-war period, wooden buildings came across. For example, in the area of ​​Sandy Streets, where the construction of an exemplary residential area began in the late 1940s, wooden barracks stood on Peschanaya Square and on the central boulevard (2nd Peschanaya Street). Muscovites of that time were not at all shy about this: the barracks are visible even in the ceremonial photographs of this area, included in the architectural albums.

Brick low-rise buildings were also built in Moscow in the pre-war years, although they are much less common. On Maroseyka, one such house has been preserved in the courtyard of house 11; the date "1932" is on its facade.

The most significant fragment of this building has survived in the former village named after Podbelsky in the north-east of Moscow. Here, in the area of ​​​​modern 5 and 6 passages of Podbelsky, there are about a dozen built in 1938-39. two-story buildings, some of which were built on third floors in 1951.


5th pr. Podbelsky, 10a. Two-story building in 1939.

These houses are modest and have no frills. Moreover, their appearance evokes a feeling of provinciality and homelessness, unusual for Moscow streets. It is clearly seen that savings have always been made on these buildings - both during construction, and during the superstructure, and during subsequent operation. Other such ensembles of pre-war architecture " lower level"There is none in the capital - low-rise buildings were not considered among the promising areas of Soviet architecture in the late 1930s. So the village of Podbelsky is unique, although ugly.


5th Podbelsky Ave., 6a. Added three-story building in 1939

The experience of mass serial low-rise construction was accumulated in the USSR during the war years, when it was carried out in the cities of the Volga region, the Urals and Siberia for evacuated residents of the western regions. For example, in Kuibyshev (now Samara), two-story neighborhoods formed a huge new Bezymyanka district, almost larger in size than the territory of the old city. It was then necessary to build hastily, economically and without frills, often far from the city center.

With the accumulation of urban planning experience, low-rise settlements began to be built in the form of ensembles inscribed in the urban environment. Here is how the "correct" village ensembles were described in the architectural criticism of those years:
"The word "settlement" refers to a large residential area that arises within the city and is an organic part of it. It is most often called a village only because it was built for one of some enterprises, near it and arose in short time in the form of a holistic or relatively holistic ensemble. Being close to an industrial enterprise, such a "settlement" not only is not isolated from the city, but, on the contrary, becomes the most important factor reconstruction of a significant urban area; moreover, such a residential area is usually organically connected by convenient highways and developed means of transport with the urban center. Such "settlements" contribute to the compact settlement of workers near their enterprises and at the same time correspond to the integral organization of the city, since they actively participate in its systematic transformation, in the creation of its unity "... (M.P. Tsapenko "On the realistic foundations of Soviet architecture "M., 1952).

A quick and cheap way to transform cities was in high demand. In many cities, low-rise buildings accounted for up to 80-90% of all construction in those years. In Moscow, new quarters appeared on Khoroshevskoye Highway, in Izmailovo, on Perovoye Pole, in Lyublino, Tushino, on Dmitrovskoye Highway, in the villages of Tekstilshchiki, Kuryanovo, Severny and other areas.


Perovo Field. 1st Vladimirskaya, 24a. 1949

Since the appearance of these buildings coincided with the end of the war and the massive involvement in construction work German prisoners of war, these neat houses were popularly called "German". It's funny that this nickname has become so firmly established that in the regions even two-story buildings built in the 1960s are attributed to the mythical "Germans".
In fact, in the 1940s and 50s, these houses were erected not only by captured Germans, but also by Soviet prisoners, as well as ordinary civilian builders. On the Far East they were built by captured Japanese. The Germans, of course, had nothing to do with the work of the workshops that designed these houses.

Moscow low-rise ensembles

Houses on Khoroshevskoye Highway in Moscow became the first experience of a new type of low-rise construction.
This part of the city was seriously damaged during the bombings of 1941 and had to be rebuilt. Under the guidance of the venerable architect D.N. Chechulin architects G.Ya. Wolfenzon and V.N. Brovchenko developed standard designs for cheap and prefabricated two-story houses. Built in 1945-46. along the Khoroshevsky highway and united by a continuous openwork fence, they formed a closed space of courtyards, reminiscent of Russian estates of the 18th-19th centuries.
These houses were intended for officers, and they were built by captured Germans (A. Demin "Khodynka: from Dmitry Donskoy to the present day". M., 1997). Attractive and cozy from the outside, inside they had fragile wooden floors and thirty years after construction they were very dilapidated. Most of them were demolished in the early 1980s, and the rest were dismantled during the construction of the third ring or rebuilt as offices.

Wonderful low-rise ensembles in Izmailovo and Perovoye Pole, built in 1946 according to the design of architects A. Arefiev, M. Lisitsian, G. Malyan, have not survived to this day. In these areas, there are still a few two-three-story blocks, but this is only a small part of what it once was.


Izmailovo. Three-storey building in 1946

In the 1980s and 1990s, high-rise buildings of mass series were erected on the site of the demolished quarters. Their "Stalinist" past is reminiscent only of transformer boxes that have been preserved in some places, old poplars and manhole covers.

A wonderful ensemble-estate, built in the late 1940s according to the project of the famous architect Dmitry Chechulin, is located on Marshal Biryuzov Street not far from the western exit of the Oktyabrskoye Pole metro station. All its buildings are interconnected by imposing empire arches, the yards are decorated with two fountains.


Warsaw highway, 85 k. 2. 1949

Near the Varshavskaya metro station, between the highway and the railway, there are three three-story houses built in 1949-50 according to a typical post-war project developed by architect A.D. Suris (Mosproekt). In the design of their facades, not only classical details were used, but also elements of ancient Russian architecture.

Of the isolated buildings, it is also worth noting the cottage of Pyotr Kapitsa on the territory of the Institute of Physical Problems on Sparrow Hills, built in 1950 according to the project of architect E.N. Stamo. A beautiful two-storey mansion was built in the depths of the institute's park and stands out among its contemporaries with a distinctly European appearance.

Two more stylish low-rise quarters are located on Rustaveli Street (Dmitrovskaya metro area). The red three-story houses at the beginning of the street (possession N3, built in 1946-1948) are one of the most elegant and touching monuments of post-war Soviet architecture. Alas, now they are in a deplorable state and will probably be demolished in the coming years.


Butyrsky farm. Rustaveli street, 3

On Rustaveli Street, 9, there is another remarkable ensemble of post-war low-rise architecture, built in 1947-48. designed by architect Yakov Lichtenberg. In appearance, it is not as bright as the "red houses", but in fact it is no less thin and beautiful. This eight-section house received the third prize in the competition for the best buildings of the year, organized by the Office of Architecture of the RSFSR.


Butyrsky farm. Rustaveli street, 9
noteworthy opinion about this house of the doctor of art history, professor K.N. Afanasiev: "The configuration of the plan of the house forms a large bright open courtyard, having a proportion of two squares. Landscaping and landscaping give comfort and decorate the house not only from the outside, but also from the side of the courtyard, which, rather, should be called not a courtyard, but a square or a garden. Precisely such houses that provide everyday life for families with children and comfort, and our cities should be built up ...
A residential building in Butyrsky Farm is a classic theme - the design of windows, entrances, the use of rust. And although there is no large warrant, the building is made according to classical rules. But in this classic, the character of the author, the masculinity, the monumentality of his talent, which is very characteristic of Lichtenberg, again manifested itself. He achieves this at the expense of a somewhat exaggerated scale of the building, enlarged details. This is exactly what is called "heroic scale" in architecture - the building, as it were, is designed not for an ordinary person, but for a hero-person. And Lichtenberg does it very correctly."

In the 1940s, there was a place for low-rise architecture in the future communist paradise. Here is how one of the corners of the future Moscow is described in Anatoly Loginov's guide Our Moscow, published in 1947:
"Before, cars turned to the station building Northern port, and the drivers here turned off the engines. Now, look, behind the station, almost 10 kilometers along the shore of the lake, the beaches are golden, the mirrored windows of cafes are sparkling, boats, motor boats driven by tanned athletes are scurrying around in the harbor.
From the shore of the lake, we can see yachts heeling under the gusts of wind, profiles of motor ships crossing the water.
There, far under the water, islands appeared; they are designed to relax after walking on the lake.
To the right of the highway, bordering the coastal strip, lined up a string of new buildings - cottages. Behind them is a sea of ​​greenery.
Many Muscovites remember that there was a forest here, an undeveloped forest, with bumps and stumps. Now, in its place, a dense park has blossomed, animated by the water of the canal.
The Khimki Reservoir feeds the park's numerous fountains. Water jets surround the pavilions of bizarre architecture like a diamond wall, saturate the air with freshness.
In terms of beauty, this place is not inferior to such a famous work of art as Leningrad's Petrodvorets."

As you can see, low-rise architecture is represented in the communist future by its most "elite" part - cottages. In the second half of the 1940s, they just began to appear on the outskirts of Moscow and in the Moscow region.
Not all of them have reached our time. From the wooden village of German specialists in Tushino, only the club building (later the cinema "Polyot") remained, the village disappeared from the Finnish houses in Fryazino.
Of those that have survived, the houses in the Moscow villages of Kuryanovo and Severny, as well as in the cities of Vidnoye and Dubna near Moscow, deserve the most attention.

Kuryanovo and Severny are the main low-rise ensembles of Moscow

In modern Moscow, two of the largest ensembles of post-war low-rise architecture have been preserved - these are the villages at the Kuryanovskaya aeration station and at the Northern waterworks, erected in 1948-1955.


Panorama of the village Severny. 1950s

For the construction of stations under the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the USSR, the Main Directorate of Camps for Hydrotechnical Construction (Glavgidrostroy) was restored, whose activities were suspended in 1941. All these units were transferred to the recreated headquarters from the composition or subordination of the Glavpromstroy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.


Cottage in Kuryanovo

Kuryanovsky settlement in 1948-1952 built according to the project of architects V.N. Brovchenko, Yu.S. Bochkov and engineer R.S. Feigelman.
The Severny settlement was built a little later according to the project of architects N. Selivanov, K. Kislova, Z. Sovereign. Its layout is very similar to Kuryanovskaya, the main difference is only in the type of residential buildings - they are here in a slightly different series.


Cottage in Severny

If in the past the villages were similar, like twins, now their destinies have clearly diverged. Kuryanovo is slowly degrading, while Northern is becoming more and more Europeanized.


Street in Kuryanovo

At the same time, in both villages, you can still find corners that are completely atypical for Moscow - cottages with gardens; a narrow street lined with sheds with tiled roofs entwined with wild grapes. Getting there on a summer evening, you feel not in central Russia, but somewhere in the Crimea.

In addition to cottages, Kuryanovo also has simpler multi-apartment two-story buildings. In their yards, there are storage sheds, rare for Moscow, to this day. Residents store winter supplies of vegetables and all sorts of junk in them.


Storage shed

All the most important buildings are located in the center of Kuryanovo: a cultural center with a beautiful portico; Lenin monument; mail with stucco coat of arms Soviet Union on the facade Opposite him, in the same building, is the police station. There are shops, a school and a clinic in the neighborhood.
Thanks to this layout, the village can theoretically be autonomous and self-sufficient. It can fit into the agglomeration of the same settlements, as happened in Voskresensk, or become the center of a new city, as happened in Vidnoye. This one can be built in the taiga or in the steppe, near an airfield or a power plant... It just so happened that Kuryanovo, a couple of decades after its construction, was surrounded by large multi-storey districts, becoming an island of the past in a modern city.


In the center of Kuryanovo

The fate of Severny, due to its remoteness from the Moscow Ring Road and the absence of an unpleasant neighbor in the form of an aeration station, has developed more favorably. It has preserved its natural environment and its autonomy from Moscow. AT last years cottages are increasingly bought up by wealthy people who reconstruct them. Such houses differ from their neighbors with metal roofs and well-kept gardens.


In the village of Severny

At the same time, it is worth recognizing that so far, rather negative than positive factors are working to preserve these ensembles. This is remoteness from the city center and metro stations, unfavorable environmental conditions. If these areas become more attractive to investors, these oases of low-rise Stalinist architecture will disappear.


In the suburban town of Vidnoye

In the Moscow region, such low-rise Stalinist buildings are better preserved, but there are still very few ensembles comparable to Kuryanovo and Severny. One of the most interesting is the center of Vidnoe, the construction of which began in 1949. The authors of the project were the architect B.V. Efimovich and design engineer A.M. Ruzsky. The central streets of the village - Shkolnaya, Sadovaya, Zavodskaya, Radialnye and others - were built up with original two-story brick cottages, reminiscent of "Dutch houses" in Russian estates of the 18th century.

Conclusion

If we compare different layers of Stalinist architecture, then low-rise buildings of the 1940s and 50s are one of its brightest pages. They are devoid of the severity and rigidity inherent in pre-war architecture; there is no oppressive monumentality here, as in high-rise buildings of the early 1950s. Two- and three-storey buildings are beautiful, cozy and humane.
If better materials were used in their construction, and the apartments were made more spacious, then after a slight reconstruction they could well compete with the now fashionable townhouses. Often winning in terms of architectural appearance, Stalin's low-rise buildings no longer meet modern ideas about comfortable housing.

Now most of the Stalinist two-three-story villages are surviving last days. Most of they will go under the bucket of an excavator, the smaller one will go through the crucible of European-style repairs and, having lost a significant part of the details characteristic of the 1940s and 50s, will turn into comfortable housing for the middle class.
So far, many of the low-rise ensembles - beautiful and not very beautiful - have been preserved in a more or less complete form. Hurry to see them!


Kuryanovo. This house is still intact

Children of war... Inflamed eyes look into the sky.
Children of war ... In the heart of a small bottomless grief.
In the heart, like a desperate thunder, the incessant metronome rattles. The unceasing metronome rumbles.

The children of the war Stuffed themselves into open vans.
Children of war Buried dead toys....
I will never be able to forget Crumbs of bread on white snow. Bread crumbs on white snow.
(from the song "Children of War")
