Parents, sister and daughter of Rodionova E.N. live in Chelyabinsk, and his wife EugeneJurate - in the city of Novorossiysk.
On the day of his death, the Chelyabinsk resident Yevgeny Rodionov, the Hero of Russia, was only 30 years old. Hislife, in fact, was just beginning ...
Smart, kind, strong, gentle, hardy, courageous about such guys
all girls dream. But in life, alas, they are so rare. And in Zhenya all thisIt was. It was difficult with him, because in matters of principle he did not yield to anyspan. And it was easy with him: he could turn any awkward situation, disagreement intojoke. He loved friendly companies and did not like officialdom. Never whined, onlyused to say: "And who is it easy for?"
He was caring from childhood and learned responsibility early. According to my mother.
Lyubov Fedorovna, a man of rare soul, he raised his sister Lena. For Lena's brotherhas always been an authority and example.
Zhenya grew up as a lively and active boy, he loved noisy games and running around. That's why,When sending her son to first grade, my mother feared that she would often be called to school.
But Zhenya turned out to be serious beyond his years and left pranks on free time... Hereasoned like this: "You can play naughty at home, but you need to study at school."
My wife was lucky to have good teachers. Another first teacher, Lyudmila MikhailovnaVazhenina, saw his abilities and immediately understood Zhenin's character: you cannotraise your voice. He knew how to appreciate affection, study was easy - he loved both accurate andhumanitarian sciences. I read a lot, voraciously, inheriting this passion from my mother. AlreadyHaving matured, having started a family, he found time for books, snatching an hour or two from sleep.
Then, having entered the school, Zhenya confessed: "How little I know." Becameto study English independently and over the years of study he mastered it perfectly.
When the Americans came to Kaunas, where Zhenya was assigned, theywondered: where does such knowledge of the language come from?
He loved life in all its manifestations. Thoughtfully felt nature, was extremelykind to animals. I couldn't imagine myself without sports. Boxing for nine yearswas fond of oriental martial arts. There were always skates, skis, rapiers at home -easier to say what was not. In high school, he was the secretary of the Komsomolorganizations. He put his soul into every business, was a first-class organizer and an inventor.
“One thing he didn’t like,” his mother confesses, “to drink vodka.” It is understandable: when he loves so muchand understands life, why should he go into dreams?
From childhood, Lyubov Fedorovna taught her children honesty and decency.
And what was Zhenya's confusion when for the first time he faced a lie and
indifference: he was expelled from the Sverdlovsk Suvorov school, where he
I entered after the 8th grade, with the words "not suitable", without even looking at the documents.
His chin was trembling: how can you do that? And how to live on? After all, becomehe dreamed of a military man since childhood. From the age of 13 he studied at DOSAAF, by the end of the school
on his account there were more than a hundred parachute jumps ...
For a while, he lost his purpose in life. "What's happened?" - the teachers were perplexed.
He couldn't study.
Lyubov Fedorovna was always afraid of losing her son. But, hoping in his heart that Zhenya is notwill go to military school, calmed and supported him. From RyazanVVDKU, where he submitted documents, all his fellow countrymen who entered afterschools. Except for Zhenya.
After graduating from college, Zhenya had the opportunity to make a brilliant career.
He could remain a teacher at the school or become one of the four graduatespersonal bodyguard of M.S. Gorbachev. But he chose the third.
"I was appointed" Vanka platoon commander, "he wrote to his mother and was incredibly happy about this.
“You have to start from the bottom,” he used to say. His sister Elena was brought up in the same way:
after graduating from school with a gold medal, she went to a medical school, graduated from it, nowfinishes his studies at the Medical Academy ...
First, after graduating from college, Zhenya was going to enter the Academy,
but chose to serve in the army. Already in Kaunas, I wrote an application to sendvolunteered him to Afghanistan. At this time, he received a call to study at the Academy,but he postponed his studies until better times.
One hot spot after another flared up in the country: Nagorno-Karabakh, Abkhazia,North Ossetia. And this means the paratroopers are ahead, and the reconnaissance is ahead of the paratroopers.
Evgeny Rodionov was a scout.
Lyubov Fedorovna Zhenya gently shore. Only by accidentally dropped phrases sheI understood: I was somewhere again. And he kept joking: “Yes, I was here in one place, warming myselfin the southern sun ".
Speaking about the fact that his mother would never read about him in Krasnaya Zvezda, Zhenya wasright: they don't write about the special forces or the paratroopers in the newspapers. After all, he was highly proprofessional scout. His call sign was Truth. And for a whole year the Dudayevitesunsuccessfully chasing the elusive "Truth." What kind of newspapers are there.
But Zhenya was wrong. Once, having opened the "Red Star", Lyubov Fedorovna saw andson's name. It was a story about the absolutely fantastic courage of 16 paratroopers,opposing 600 Dudayev militants near Shatoi. Talking about the feat of ourfighters, correspondent Nikolai Starodymov named all 16 names, includingthe name of the intelligence officer Yevgeny Nikolaevich Rodionov.
An excerpt from a newspaper article about the feat of the paratroopers near Shatoi:
“... The long-awaited help did not come to the Dudayevites - it did not break through. Stood in her waya handful of heroes. It was hard for them.The main forces of the paratroopers were thrown to capture Shatoi, there they were waiting for the mainevents. And only in order to insure himself from the flank, to the area of ​​the tractRazdolnoe ... they landed a small group - to saddle the dirt road ...the first minutes, a desperate one broke out. According to incomplete data, the group was attacked byblow of at least six hundred well-armed militants ...group of ammunition by helicopters - it did not work: the first car was fired on
in the air and collapsed into the forest. Help went to the ground - seventeen people for three
combat vehicles.
The breakout group was led by officers Alexei Lagoda, Igor Kirichenko, Evgeny
Rodionov. The soldiers are mostly raw novices. The fight was terrible, but theybroke through. Then they simultaneously unloaded ammunition and fought off the advancing Dudaevtsev.
Unable to prevent the unification of the two groups, the militants soon weakened their pressure.
At the same time, they suffered considerable losses. At the captured base, the paratroopers took
trophies - weapons were literally piled up ...
Shatoi himself was taken with little blood and almost without destruction ... "
So Lyubov Fedorovna found out that her son was in Chechnya. All 16 of Shatoy's heroes were
presented for the highest military award - the title of Hero of Russia. But Zhenya did not livebefore the decree of the President. The title of Hero was awarded to him posthumously.
He died two months after these events, when his reconnaissance group carried outthe next task.
“There was an unnatural eerie silence, the guys say, he jumped from
armor first. Behind him are three comrades. A powerful explosion shook the silence. And that's all
four stepped into immortality ... "
And an entry appeared in the combat log: “01/05/96 at 15.20 in the area
in the village of Shatoi, a reconnaissance platoon column was ambushed. V
21.30 the personnel of the reconnaissance platoon finished the battle. During the battle, it was destroyed before
8-10 fighters. The losses of the reconnaissance platoon were: killed - Major Yevgeny Rodionov
Nikolaevich, senior lieutenant Gnyp Viktor Nikolaevich, privates Aniskin AndreyAnatolyevich, Shimakin Victor Gennadievich ... "
The death of Major Rodionov and his subordinates shook them to the core
colleagues.
In life, Eugene was generally lucky to have good people. Except smart, kind,understanding mother, tenderly loving sister, faithful wife who shared everything with himhardships of an officer's life, he had wonderful teachers, friends, neighbors. Zhenya nathere was enough of all. For him, the company was one family. He knew everyone not only by name,but also who lives where, what is happening in everyone's soul and at home. He was responsive to everyonenever divided people by ranks.
For all these people, someone else's grief became their own. From different parts of the country to Zheninythe funeral was attended by fellow students, colleagues. Commander of the Airborne Forces G.I.Shpakpersonally ordered the allocation of an aircraft for the delivery of the bodies of the four victims.
The Chelyabinsk Tank School provided a guard and a brass band. Lots ofpeople, familiar and unfamiliar, responded to someone else's grief.
The commander of the 108th Guards parachute sent his letter to Yevgeny's parents -of the airborne regiment of the guard, Lieutenant Colonel I. Dmitrik, in which he spoke aboutthe circumstances of the death of Major E.N. Rodionov. and expressed condolences to the parentsboth on my own behalf and on behalf of all servicemen of the regiment. School 68 teacherswhich Evgeny studied, they offered Lyubov Fedorovna to organize a funeral fromschools. And how much participation, warmth was shown by the director Zoya Ivanovna Fedorova ...I know what I would do without them, ”Evgenia’s mother wondered.
And the neighbors at the entrance? When his friends came to bury Zhenya, the neighbors, who could,took the guys to the post. Of course, Lyubov Fedorovna also metindifference, but there were immeasurably more of those who offered their shoulders.
In December 1996, the newspaper Chelyabinsk Rabochy published an article by LydiaStarikova about Evgeny Rodionov "Do you know what a guy he was!", Excerpts fromwhich we used in the pages of the Book of Memory.
On the obelisk of Yevgeny Rodionov, his call sign is engraved - "Truth". And this is a symbol
personally. He was a true citizen of Russia, a real person.
Many, remembering Zhenya, write that for some reason death chooses the best.
This is probably also an immutable truth. Such people do not hide behind their backs. They
noble. And the bullets, as you know, hit those who are the first to meet on their
crazy way. Yevgeny Rodionov was one of those in the lead.
Rest in peace to him, the Ural land ...
Your name, Eugene, should and, we think, will live forever in our memory and in our hearts. IN THAT MIG
The moment they kill me
Betrayal and lies
And the birds of life will sing
In my soul ... And all the same,
When I, too, burned out with a candle,
I will disappear into the dead darkness
It cannot be that, as it were, in vain
Sang songs on the ground
And people, to the light are deaf,
Forgive to forget
My disturbing verses ...
No, no, it can't be!
