From the publishing houseI belong to the so-called generation of baby boomers, people who

were born after the end of WWII. My contemporaries are lucky. It wasnot necessary for us to defend the independence of our land, weaponsin hand. This task fell upon our parents, grandfathers, and grandmoth-ers. Today, we again express our indebtedness to the exploits theyaccomplished between 1941 and 1945 during the bloodiest war in hu-man history.

In 2005 the world celebrates the 60th anniversary of the Victory overHitler and his bloody regime. For participants of WWII, this is an excep-tionally important event. Immigrant veterans from the former USSR nowliving in the U.S. in the state of California, were getting ready for theVictory anniversary with no less enthusiasm than their companions-in-arms whom fate has scattered all over the world.

Through the initiative and active participation of WWII veterans andveteransof the Armed Force M. Vovchuk, I. Izmailov, Y. Lubarsky, andI. Orkis, I. Ayzenband, A. Gukasyan, A. Taskar, the American-RussianBusiness Council (a non-profit organization formed in February 1994in California) put together “Russian WWII veterans in California” for theanniversary publication. The idea behind the project was to create themost complete list of real participants in the war against fascist Germa-ny between 1941 and 1945, to include those who celebrated the 60th

Victory anniversary here in California and those who are now buried inCalifornia. My father Mikhail Durmashkin, who celebrated Victory Dayin Berlin in May 1945, passed on during the preparation of this book.Eternal memory to him and to all the conquering soldiers who are notwith us today.

Thus, you are now holding in your hands a book in Russian andEnglish about immigrants from the former USSR who, risking their lives,defended their country and the rest of the world from the brown fascistplague. This historical documentary will remain with the families of vet-erans and in California libraries to preserve the memory of the partici-pants in the events of WWII.

This anniversary book contains only the biographies of real warparticipants. In order to avoid publishing unverified facts and awards,the editorial board created a very detailed and clear submission formwhich required supporting documents. We strived to publish a histori-cally accurate book, for the contents of which no one would be embar-rassed. We hope this was accomplished.

Alex Durmashkin,President of the American-Russian Business Council.

TIMELINE OF WWII ON THE RUSSIAN FRONT

July 31, 1940Hitler told his assembled military leaders: “The sooner we smash

Russia the better. The operation makes sense only if the Russian stateis shattered in one blow. A gain of territory is not enough. To have tohalt during the winter is questionable business. Therefore it is better towait [until 1941], but the decision to dispose of Russia is definite.”

December 18, 1940Hitler decided to proceed with the invasion of Russia even though

Britain had not been knocked out of the war, and the German armedforces were directed to begin planning for the effort. With incredibleforesight and brilliant timing, the U.S. naval attachå in Berlin, Com-mander A.E. Schrader, on this same day warned Washington that Ger-many would now attack the Soviet Union and annex the Ukraine andthe Caucasus region.

June 18, 1941The Soviet embassy in London cabled Moscow: “As of now Cripps

[the British ambassador to Moscow who had returned to London” isdeeply convinced of the inevitability of armed conflict between Germa-ny and theUSSR; whichwill begin notlater than themiddle of June.According toCripps, the Ger-mans have nowconcent ra ted147 divisions(including airforce and ser-vice units) alongthe Soviet bor-ders...”

June 23, 1941

German forc-es in Russia drove across the Bug River, using rubber dinghies until abridge could be built. XVII Corps made nine miles in the first day offighting. German Army Group North advanced through Lithuania alongthe Baltic coast and reached Latvia.

The Russians lost more than 500 planes while destroying only adozen or so German aircrafts, leading to the suicide of Lieutenant Gen-eral Kopets, commander of the Russian bomber group.

June 24, 1941Roosevelt promised aid to the Soviet Union and ordered release of

all Russian assets in the U.S.Vilna and Kaunas in Lithuania fell to the Germans. The Russians

introduced their giant Klim Voroshilov tanks into action near Raeseiniai(Raseynyay). Models weighing 43 and 52 tons surprised the Germanswho found the KVs nearly unstoppable. One of these Russian tankstook 70 direct hits but none penetrat-ed its armor.

About 2,000 Soviet planes had nowbeen destroyed. In just seventy-twohours the largest air force in the worldhad been reduced to an ineffectualremnant.

June 29, 1941The Soviet Union formed an over-

all defense committee consisting ofStalin, Georgi Malenkov, Marshall Kli-ment Voroshilov, and Lavrenti Beria.Rumormongering, spreading panic,and cowardice were decreed to becrimes punishable by death.

Russia’s Moving MiracleIn an unprecedented relocation of

industry, the Soviet Union physicallymoved its production strength out ofthe combat areas almost as fast asthe German panzers could strike east-ward. Beginning in July 1941 the Rus-sians employed their vast manpowerand sorely strained transport system to haul industrial cargoes on theequivalent of million-and-a half rail cars to safer areas stretching to thefarther reaches of the Soviet Union. By November a total of 1,523 com-plete factories had been relocated. Most importantly, 1,360 of thesewere major facilities directly involved in arms production. The numberof plants placed back in operation was relocated to the following plac-es:

ordered a temporary halt inthe drive toward Moscow,more than 200 miles away,and sent panzer units to,help Army Group South inits efforts to defeat theRussian forces in Ukraineunder Marshal SemyonBudenny.

July 21, 1941German aircraft

bombed Moscow. Hitlergoaded Goehring into or-dering the raid by dispar-

aging the Luftwaffe for its failure to attack the Russian capital. A total of127 Ju-88s and He-111s dropped 100 tons of high-explosive bombsand 45,000 incendiaries. (Raids of diminishing intensity continuedthrough the rest of 1941, but German losses were heavy as the Rus-sians assembled the most powerful antiaircraft defenses of the war.)

July 30, 1941In a fateful decision, Hitler ordered Field Marshal Fedor von Bock’s

Army Group Center to halt the drive on Moscow. The German strategywas to concentrate on the Ukraine and the capture of Leningrad.

Harry Hopkins, representing President Roosevelt, arrived in Mos-cow. The visit proved important because Hopkins concluded at the endof his stay that Russia could somehow survive the German onslaught,a view not widely held by observers who saw the Red Army on thebrink of collapse. He reported his optimism to Roosevelt who came tothe same conclusion.

August 2, 1941Washington and Moscow reached agreement on an aid program,

which would dramatically increase Russia’s ability to replace war weap-ons lost thus far in the war.

Arctic Convoys to RussiaThe first of the convoys to the Arctic ports of the Soviet Union in

August 1941 marked the beginning of a four-year effort to supply Rus-sia under the most difficult of conditions. German surface ships, sub-marines, and aircraft posed constant threats. Appalling weather condi-tions prevailed much of the time, making navigation and simple exist-ence difficult in the extreme. A total of 1,528 ships sailed in convoys inand out of Arctic ports. Of the 811 going to Archangel and Murmansk,720 arrived safely. Thirty-three (4.1 percent) were forced to turn backand 58 (7.2 percent) were sunk. The Arctic convoys carried a total offour million tons of equipment and supplies to Russia; of which 300,000tons were lost (including 5,000 tanks and 7,000 aircraft) en route.

grad by seizing Petrokrepost (Schlusselburg).September 15, 1941Leningrad came under full siege by German Army Group North.September 16, 1941In the single greatest capitulation of the war, more than half a mil-

lion Russians in the area of Kiev surrendered to the Germans. (Theprecise figure is disputed. German records put the number at 665,000.The Russians admitted to 527,000 men captured and wounded duringthe previous weeks’ fighting. ByMoscow’s account a total of677,085 Red Army troops werecommitted on the entire south-west front. However, large num-bers of the “People’s Army,” aninferior militiatype force pressedinto service in desperation, wereinvolved in the Kiev fighting, andtogether with armed civilians,lend credence to the higher Ger-man figure.) Collapse of the Kievfront represented the nadir of thewar for the Russians.

General Keitel responded togrowing Russian partisan war-fare by ordering the execution ofas many as 100 hostages for ev-ery German soldier killed by thecivilian irregulars.

September 19, 1941Kiev fell to the Germans. The

battle for the city was disastrous to the Russians who suffered 350,000casualties and lost 3,718 guns and 884 armored vehicles. Five armieswere eliminated. Stalin had ordered a “stand and die” defense.

September 22, 1941German troops cut off Leningrad from the rest of the Soviet Union

“The Jewish population was invited by poster to present themselvesfor resettlement.Although initiallywe had onlycounted on5,000 - 6,000Jews reporting,more than30,000 Jews ap-peared; by a re-markably effi-cient piece ofo r g a n i z a t i o nthey were led tobelieve in the re-settlement storyuntil shortly be-fore their execu-tion.” It had been suggested that the Jews were killed in reprisal for thebombing of a Kiev hotel used as a German headquarters, but the SShad been systematically killing Jews in Russia in the wake of the ad-vancing Wehrmacht. Babi Yar stands as perhaps the most horrible sin-gle example of vengeful genocide.

October 14, 1941All resistance ended in the Vyazma pocket, between Smolensk and

Moscow. Panzer units captured Kalinin, 93 miles northwest of Mos-cow, cut the Moscow-Leningrad rail line, and captured a bridge intactacross the Volga River. Advance units reached a point 60 miles fromMoscow.

October 16, 1941The Soviet government left Moscow for Kuibyshev, 525 miles to the

east. Stalin was the only high official who remained in Moscow. “A con-dition approaching panic developed in the city when it was learned thatLenin’s coffin had been removed from Red Square. Odessa fell to theGermans.

Russia suffered another military disaster as the battles of Bryanskand Vyazma ended with overwhelming German victories. Nine armies(up to eighty divisions) were destroyed. The Germans took 663,000prisoners and knocked out or captured 1,242 tanks and 5,412 artillerypieces.

More than half a million children, women, and old men working dayand night completed the defenses around Moscow, 60 miles of anti-tank ditches, 5,000 miles of troop trenches, and 177 miles of barbedwire.

October 21, 1941General Georgi Zhukov was named commander of all Russian forces

cow, Of the 3,500,000 men committed to Russia by the Axis, 750,000were killed, wounded, or missing by this date.

November 8, 1942Hitler stated he still intended German forces to take Stalingrad de-

spite the staggering losses. He said the city was of immense strategicvalue: …there, 30 million tons of traffic (on the Volga) can be cut off,including 9 million of oil shipments. There, all the wheat pours in fromthose enormous territories of the Ukraine, of the Kuban territory, thereto be transported to the north. From there, manganese ore was shipped.A gigantic terminal was there.

November 19, 1942Russian forces, with relief of the Stalingrad defenders as the imme-

diate objective, launched the winter offensive.

August 31, 1944Since D-Day, German losses had been staggering. In a three-month

period total losses on the eastern and western fronts were 1.2 milliondead, wounded and missing. Fifty divisions were destroyed in the eastand 28 in the west. In addition, 230,000 German troops were surround-ed in pockets in France. Together with the defection of two Rumanianarmies and the Bulgarians to the Russians, the German high com-mand faced its bleakest outlook of the war. Berlin was further vexed bythe presence of 55 Soviet divisions advancing from the east.

September 5, 1944Moscow broadcasts called on Poles in Warsaw to stage an upris-

ing: Fight the Germans. No doubt Warsaw already hears the guns ofthe battle, which is soon to bring her liberation, joins battle with theGermans, this time for the decisive action.

October 1, 1944Hungarian officials secretly arrived in Moscow to conclude an armi-

sticeOctober 2, 1944Germans crushed the Warsaw uprising. An estimated quarter mil-

lion Poles were killed in two months of fighting. Poles insisted that theRussians intentionally delayed their advance to Warsaw so the Ger-mans could annihilate the Anti-Communist Polish Home Army, whichthey did.

es seized con-trol of communi-cations facilitiesin Hungary afterlearning of thesecret peacetalks in Moscow.

October 9 -18, 1944The Moscow

fought in the acting army and the guerilla detachment. He disappearedwithout a trace in June 1944.

In accordance with the data of the casualty division of the DefenseMinistry of the USSR (Russia), all soldiers who were considered Miss-ing In Action or perished in combat, were classified as “missing withouta trace”. This was due to the combat situation, which made it impossi-ble to establish the fate of each soldier.
