All - posthumously, remaining in textbooks and books by children and adolescents. All Soviet schoolchildren knew these heroes.

Marat Kazei, 14 years old
Participant of the Partizansky Detachment named after the 25th anniversary of October, Scout of the 200th partisan brigade named after Rokossovsky in the occupied territory of the Belarusian SSR.
Marat was born in 1929 in the village of Stankovo, the Minsk Region of Belarus, managed to graduate 4 grade of the rural school. Before the war, his parents were arrested on charges of hydration and "Trotskyism", numerous children "scattered" on grandparents. But the family of Kazyev did not call the Soviet power: in 1941, when Belarus became an occupied territory, Anna Kazay, the wife of the "enemy of the people" and the mother of small marats and Ariadnes, hid in her wounded partisans, for which she was executed by the Germans. And brother and sister went to the partisans. Ariadna was subsequently evacuated, but Marat remained in the detachment.
On a par with senior comrades, he went into intelligence - both alone and with the group. Participated in the raids. Used the echelons. For the fight in January 1943, when, wounded, he raised his comrades in the attack and made his way through the enemy ring, Marat received the medal "for the courage."
And in May 1944, when performing the next task, near the village of Horomitsky Minsk region, a 14-year-old fighter died. Returning from the task together with the intelligence commander, they came across the Germans. The commander was killed immediately, and Marat, shooting, harboring in a hollow. It was nowhere to go in a clean field, and there was no possibility - the teenager was seriously injured in his hand. While there were cartridges, kept the defense, and when the store was empty, took the last weapon - two grenades, from the belt. One threw in Germans at once, and with the second waited: when the enemies came closely close, blew themselves with them.

Some soldiers have taken careless helmets. The front car was stuck with the bushes, followed by the boys. Valya raised, counting about seconds . The car drove, there is already armored vehicle against him. Then he rose to the whole height and shouting "fire!" One after another threw two grenades ... At the same time, the explosions were spoiled on the left and right. Both cars stopped, the front light up. Soldiers were swiftly frightened to Earth , rushed into a cuvette and from there discovered a random fire from the machine guns, "the Soviet textbook describes this first fight. The task of the partisan Valya was then completed: the head of the gendarmerie, the Ober-Lieutenant Franz Kenig and the seven German soldiers died. About 30 people were injured.

In 1942, he joined the squad. "Participated in 27 combat operations, destroyed 78 German soldiers and officers, blew 2 railway railway and 12 highway bridges, blew 9 cars with ammunition ...

Then together ran to the first wounded officer. The shoulder shoulder straps, took a portfolio, documents. In the car there was still a heavy suitcase.

At night, the fascists broke into the house where the sick partisan lay. Chekalin managed to grab the cooked grenade and throw it, but she did not explode ... A few days later, the torture of the fascists hung a teenager on the central square of Likhvina and no longer allowed to clean his corpse from the gallows.

During the Great Patriotic War on the incredible feat of the simple Russian soldier, the sirotinine ring as well as the very hero was known not so much. On the feat of the twenty-year-old artilleryman, perhaps no one would ever know. If not a case.
In the summer of 1942, an officer of the 4th tank division of the Wehrmacht Friedrich Fenfeld died under Tula. Soviet soldiers discovered his diary. From his pages and become known some details of the very last fight of the senior sergeant Sirotinin.
It was the 25th day of the war ...
In the summer of 1941, the 4th Tank Division of the Guderian group was broken up to the Belarusian city of Krichev - one of the most talented German generals. Parts of the 13th Soviet Army were forced to retreat. To cover the waste of the artillery battery of the 55th rifle regiment, the commander left an artillery officer Nicholas Sirotinin with an instrument.
The order was brief: to delay the tank column of the Germans on the bridge over the river ogre, and then, if possible, catch up with their own. Senior Sergeant performed only the first half of the order ...
Syrotinin took a position in the field near the village of Sokolnichi. The gun was toupe in high rye. Near any noticeable reference point for the enemy. But from here, the highway and river were well visible.
On the morning of July 17, a column of 59 tanks and aircraft with infantry seemed on the highway. When the head tank went to the bridge, the first - successful - shot. The second shell of Syrotinin settled the armored personnel carrier in the tail of the column, thereby creating a plug on the road. Nikolai shot and shot, groissing the car for the car.
Syrotinin fought alone, himself and a gunner, and charging. He has 60 shells and a 76-mm gun - a great weapon against tanks. And he decided: to continue the battle until the ammunition is completed.
The fascists in a panic threw up to the ground, not understanding where the shooting was coming from. The guns beat at random, in the squares. After all, the on the eve of their intelligence could not discover the Soviet artillery in the vicinity, and the division was moving without special precautions. The Germans attempted to clear the jam, making a baked tank from the bridge with two other tanks, but they were shot. Armor, who has tried to overcome the River Vyod, bogged down in a swampy coast, where he was destroyed. The Germans did not fail to determine the location of a well-disguised tool; They believed that the battery was behaved with them.
This unique battle lasted a little more than two hours. Crossing was blocked. By the time, the position of Nicholas was discovered, he had only three shells. The offer to surrender Sirotinin responded with refusal and shot from Caraborn to the last. Going to the rear of Sirotinin on the motorcycles, the Germans destroyed a lonely gun with a mortar. In position they found a lonely gun and fighter.
The result of the battle of the senior sergeant Sirotinine against General Guderian is impressive: after the fight on the banks of the river, the Valun Naidennikov residents were missing 11 tanks, 7 armored vehicles, 57 soldiers and officers.
The resistance of the Soviet fighter caused respect for the Nazis. The commander of the tank battalion Colonel Erich Schneider ordered to bury a worthy opponent with the Military Humans.
From the Ober-Lieutenant Diary of the 4th Tank Division of Friedrich Henfeld:
July 17, 1941. Sokolnichi, near Krichev. In the evening buried the unknown Russian soldier. He stood at the gun, he had long shot the column of tanks and infantry, and died. Everyone was surprised by his coupling ... Oberst (Colonel - approx. Editors) Before the grave, he said that if all the soldiers of the Fuhrer fought, like this Russian, then won the whole world. Three times shot volley from rifles. Still, he is Russian, is it necessary such a worship?
From the testimony of Olga Verzhbitsky, a resident of Sokolnichi village:
I, Verzhbitskaya Olga Borisovna, 1889 born, the native of Latvia (Latgali) lived in front of the war in the village of Sokolnichi Krychevsky district along with his sister.
We knew Nikolai Sirotinin with a sister before the day of the battle. He was with us with a comrade, bought milk. Was very polite, always helped older women to get water from the well and in other hard work.
I remember well the evening before the fight. On the log at the gate of the house of Grabski, I saw Nicholas Sirotinin. He sat and thought about something. I was very surprised that everyone leaves, and he sits.
When the battle began, I was not at home yet. I remember how tracing bullets flew. It was about two or three hours. In the afternoon, the Germans gathered at the place where the Sirotinin cannon stood. There were also forced us to come and local residents. I, as knowledgeable German, the main German year of fifty with orders, tall, bald, gray, ordered his speech to local people. He said that Russian very well fought that if the Germans were fought so, they would have come to Moscow for a long time that the soldiers should defend his homeland - Fateland.
Then from the pocket of the gymnasters of our dead soldier got a medallion. I remember firmly that there was written "The City of Eagle", Sirotinin Vladimir (patronymic did not remember) that the name of the street was, as I remember, not Dobrolyubov, but a cargo or breaking, I remember that the house number was from two digits. But to know who this Sirodinin Vladimir is a father, brother, uncle killed or anyone else - we could not.
The German chief chief told me: "Take this document and write my relatives. Let mother know how her son was her son and how he died. " Then the German young young officer standing at the grave of Syrotinine and snatched a piece of paper and a medallion and said something rude.
The Germans gave a volley from the rifles in honor of our soldier and put a cross on the grave, hanged him with a helmet, breaking through the bullet.
I myself saw the body of Nikolai Sirotinin, even when he was lowered in the grave. His face was not in the blood, but the gymnaster on the left side had a big bloody spot, the helmet was broken, a lot of sleeves from shells were circle.
Since our house was not far from the place of battle, next to the road to Sokolnichi, the Germans were standing near us. I heard myself, how long and delightedly talked about the feat of the Russian soldier, counting shots and hitting. Part of the Germans, even after the funeral, they still stood at guns and graves and talked quietly.
February 29, 1960
Entries of telephonist M. I. Grabskaya:
I, Grabskaya Maria Ivanovna, born in 1918, worked as a telephonist in Daewoo 919 in Krichev, lived in the native village of Sokolnichi, three kilometers from the city of Krichev.
I remember the events of July 1941. Approximately a week before the arrival of the Germans in our village there are Soviet artilleryrs. The headquarters of their battery was in our house, the battery commander was the senior lieutenant named Nikolai, his assistant - Lieutenant named Fedya, from the fighters I remember the most all of the Red Armenian Nikolai Sirodinin. The fact is that the senior lieutenant very often caused this fighter and instructed him as the very sensible and experienced that and another task.
It was a little higher than the middle growth, dark-circular hair, face simple, cheerful. When the Sirotinin and Senior Lieutenant Nikolai decided to dig for the locals in the blonde, then I saw him deftly throws the earth, noticed that he could not see from the boss. Nikolay, joking, replied:
"I am a worker from an eagle, and I do not get used to physical work. We, Oryol, we can work. "
Today in the village of Sokolnichi grave, in which the Germans buried Nicholas Sirotinin, no. Three years after the war, his remains were transferred to the place of fraternal burial of Soviet soldiers in Krychev.
Pencil drawing made by memory Sirotinin colleague in the 1990s Residents of Belarus remember and honor the feat of a brave artilleryman. In Krichev, there is a street of his name, a monument is established. But, despite the fact that the feat of Sirotinin thanks to the efforts of the employees of the archive of the Soviet Army was recognized as early as 1960, the title of Hero of the Soviet Union was not assigned. Having prevented the pain of a ridiculous circumstance: the family of a soldier did not have his photograph. And it is necessary for filing documents for high rank.
Today there is only a pencil sketch made after the war one of his colleagues. In the year of the 20th anniversary of the victory, Senior Sergeant Sirotinin was awarded the Order of the Patriotic War of the first degree. Posthumously. Such is the story.
Memory

In 1961, a monument was delivered at the site of the feat of the highway with the name of the hero, near which the present 76-mm instrument was established on the pedestal. In the city of Krichev, the name of Sirotinina is named Street.
At the Tekmash plant in Orel, a memorial plaque was installed with a brief reference about N. V. Sirotinin.
In the Museum of Combat Fame in High School No. 17 of the Oryol, there are materials on N. V. Sirotinin.
In 2015, the Council of School No. 7 of the city of Eagle requested the name of the Nikolai Sirotinin school. The solemn events attended the sister of Nikolai Taisiya Vladimirovna. The name for the school was chosen by the students themselves based on their search and information work.
When the sister of Nikolai reporters asked a question why Nikolai volunteered to cover the Division's retreat, Taisiya Vladimirovna replied: "My brother could not do otherwise."
The feat of the sirotinin ring is an example of loyalty to the Motherland for all our youth.
