Biography of Gennady Belousov

Views: Right Franz, Taltsis Adolf. Steps in the darkness. In the center of Gorodets, a memorial to the dead was erected. Near the obelisk-steel, commemorative plates with the names of soldiers who did not return from the front are installed. On one we read: “Belousov G. in the“ Book of Memory ”, which is also in the Gorodetsk department of the Military Commissariat of the Nizhny Novgorod Region, printed:“ Belousov Gennady Dmitrievich, clan.

He disappeared from the end of the war for many decades, but the warrior is still listed as missing, although we, relatives, know how he died. Let this story restore justice, and his fellow countrymen recognize about the hero’s feat. Then he graduated with honors from the Gorky Radio Engineering and entered the Leningrad Academy of Communications. Gennady was called to the front at nineteen.

In early April, he sent his last letter to his family: “I am in a deep enemy rear, I will return home after a complete victory over fascism. Do not wait for letters, they will tell you about me. ” They reported as missing only a few years after the end of the war. However, in the year, Lesma Riga published the book of Franz Rekshny, and Adolf Taltsis “Steps in the Dark”, which tells about all scouts and reconnaissance groups operating in Latvia during the Great Patriotic War.

This book describes the feat and death of a radio operator of the legendary group “Knowar” “Victory” by the city resident Gennady Belousov. Irina Dmitrievna received her copy with a gift inscription, the mother of the scout Anastasia Pavlovna and one of the sisters of Gennady Irina Dmitrievna from the authors themselves shortly after the publication of the book.

One of the authors of this chronicle walked a dangerous path of the scout, laying it in darkness with comrades in arms, met some at partisan bases, he had the opportunity to hear from friends about others, and their stories were later confirmed by documents. Scouts acted in Latgaly, Vidzem, Kurzem, in the city of Riga. They worked in an extremely difficult environment, in the conditions of Hitler’s terror and the trace of betrayal inspired by the Gestapo authorities.

” The intelligence group "Knowar", which was a member of which Gennady, consisted of nineteen people. Its leader was the tested Chekist Dmitry Krup. The book tells how on the evening of March 28 the scouts, dressed in white camouflage, were going to cross the front line. The representative of the state security bodies Major Libria turned to those standing in the ranks: “Comrades, you go to an important, very necessary homeland, but also a very dangerous campaign.

In this bloody war, Soviet patriots are not easy anywhere - neither at the front, nor in the rear. But it is much harder and more dangerous to live and fight on the territory occupied by the enemy. A Soviet person should be prepared for everything, including long torment in Nazi dungeons. The work of the scout requires great physical and spiritual endurance, courage, resourcefulness, heroism.

You will have to fight all together and everyone individually. ” Next is a narrative about the difficulties that scouts had to deal with, moving through the territory of Latvia and obtaining information of state importance. During the narrative, it is repeatedly mentioned how the radio operator Gennady Belousov sent a radioogram to the center about the situation in the rear of the enemy, about the movement of enemy trains, the construction of fortifications, about the places of accumulation of military units.

He received instructions from Moscow, including the need to avoid armed clashes with the enemy. But the detachments of partisan intelligence were betrayed by one of the local residents. The scouts were surrounded by the Nazis in the forest by Lake Bizhi and were forced to join the battle. Six people were killed, among whom was the commissioner Grigory Astratov. The four scouts were injured, and the radio operator Gennady Belousov and Ivan Maksimov are so difficult that it was necessary to urgently place them somewhere.

The wounded Belousov buried his walkie -talkie at the edge, and promised his comrades: “I will find as soon as I get to my feet. True, she is shot, but we will not really fix it ... ". They left the encirclement at night. He gave the owner of German brands to take care of the scouts, provide them with medicines and food. Here's how this moment was transferred in the book: “ - Brothers, will we still be able to meet?

He was barely twenty years old. And the year has not passed since he graduated from radio engineering in Gorky. When an officer of a special department turned to him as a Komsomol member in the army, he immediately agreed ... “Write to his mother that I was alive and well,” Gennady asked shyly smiling. The hopes of young people - Gennady and Ivan - did not come true.

The scouts were devoted, and a few days later the police surrounded the house. The wounded hid in the cellar. The police invited them to go out and surrender, promising to save their lives. Instead of an answer, revolving shots were heard, and one of the Nazis grabbed the stomach. Then the police threatened to smoke the partisans from the cellar with fire.

The guys made an attempt to destroy one of the fascists, threw the remaining grenades, and finally undermined themselves.Both fell the death of the brave ... In the early seventies of the XX century, one of the authors of the documentary novel “Steps in the Dark” came to Gorodets and, looking for the family of the deceased intelligence officer Belousov, handed Anastasia Pavlovna his book.

And he also arranged a trip to the hero’s mother to the place of the last days of his son’s life. They met her warmth. At the request of the employees of the Bizhi Museum of the Lyudsis volost of the Latvian SSR, Anastasia Pavlovna gave them part of the family archive regarding Gennady, and then visited the brief grave of the partisan intelligence "Knowars". Here, on the memorial plate among the names of the dead heroes, the name of her son was engraved ...

Returning to Gorodets, Anastasia Pavlovna told her relatives about her meeting. Without hiding her tears, she also conveyed a conversation with a traitor from local residents, who had already served her sentence at that time. To the mother’s question, for which he ruined young lives, he replied: “Everyone had his own task ...”. 70 years have passed since the death of Gennady Belousov.

In his small homeland, the reconnaissance hero Belousov Gennady Dmitrievich is still listed as missing. In the city cemetery near the village of Kudashikha, the mother of the hero Anastasia Pavlovna Belousova was buried. Her grave can only be recognized by a barely preserved photograph of a middle -sized daughter, a buried nearby daughter. The grave is greatly launched. The nearest Gorodetsky relatives of the Belousov have already died, the rest have long been living in Kyiv.

It would be fair to introduce to the “Book of Memory” that Private Belousov Gennady Dmitrievich, the year of birth, did not go missing, but fell the death of the brave on May 10. He was a real hero who should know and remember on his native land. When using the materials of the Volzhsky Crossroads site, an active link to Radilov.
