That scoutNikolay Kuznetsov Played during the Great Patriotic War, not the last role, is known to everyone. And about what he was born in the Urals - of course, too. But few people know that his parents were old-handed-loymen from the deaf villages of Zyryanka Talitsky district of the Sverdlovsk region.

Talitsky district in the Urals to this day is famous for Kerzhaki-Poksov. They are admitting little in their lives, they try to communicate with external people at a minimum and are engaged in labor - natural economy. Another life they do not know. Sometimes someone from them can be found at the local museum ...

And all because on July 27, 1911, in the family of the Old Believers-peasant peasants, Ivan Pavlovich and Anna Petrovna Kuznetsov had a joy - the first son was born, which was named by Nikor.

The boy grew in a friendly, believer, hardworking family with strong moral stands. Since childhood, he began to show interest in the German language, so his teacher Nina Avtokratova began to develop this ability in it, interest in all the German books available to it, often spoke with him in German.

Returning home to the atmosphere of the original Russian life, from the parents he adopted accuracy and love for order, hard work, purposefulness.

Together, and today they remember that he was distinguished by good memory and by heart - the only village in the whole village! - Lermontov's "Borodino" learned. After school, a forest technical school in Tyumen, where he communicated a lot with the ex-prisoners of German Gunold, working in Kudymkar, he replaced the name to the indispensable "Nikolai", and in 1935 it settled on the Uralmashzavod, but after three years he moved to Moscow and settled To work in the aviation sphere.

Here he repeatedly met with the younger brother Victor, who already fought on the front, and envied this, because he could not get to the front, although in every way she sought it. However, it didn't waste time in vain - already, it seems, realizing that the "brilliant" German language will soon be useful. Therefore, continued to exercise. And when he managed, finally, to get to the partisans in August 1942, right in the rear of the enemy, he joyfully wrote his brother: "Death of German invaders!"

About his exploits in the partisan detachment fit the legends. He disinterestedly reincarnated in the German officer, and his immaculate knowledge of the enemy allowed him to enter the trust in the highest circles of the fascists. Therefore, he received all new tasks from the command - to seize papers, the destruction of high-ranking vermachute ranks.

In October of the second year of bloody war, he appeared in the form of a German officer on the streets captured by the Germans of the Ukrainian city Rivne. Then there were "cases" to destroy key officers of the Nazi army and continued to capture important documents.

He did not die. Actually, no one knows where he was going: In early February 1944, he was last met with a group of Soviet partisans, but he had to urgently go to the command, so, having gone to them, his guys who continued to fight, he left. And how to go to the water!

In November of the same year he was awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union. And the village of Zyryanka has since become a memorial place - a museum has been created here, tourists go here, and local residents are proud of their great countryman, who sacrificed life for the victory over fascism.

According to Russia's deserved traveler, Leonid Bracry, Countryman Nikolai Kuznetsov, who, by the way, dedicated to that one of his books, and today it often happens in his small homeland, the pilot of the scout here "was put in Absolut" so much that it even went to the detriment Other residents who went to the front and not returned from the war. Including Old Believers.

About them, who fell by death by brave, and equally, those who passed all the front horrors and returned alive and healthy, of course, they remember here. But, alas, not at all as about the same Nicolae Ivanovich Kuznetsov, whose biography, even the schoolchildren are easily reproduced thoroughly.

But the old faith in Zyryanka himself slowly, but it is true: the middle-generation people, whose fathers and mothers were strong internships, do not consider themselves. They are proud that the roots of them are from the mighty Tree of those who did not accept the reforms of the Patriarch Nikon, but they themselves, in the overwhelming majority, grew up at bootiers.

So, unfortunately, it happens.

On July 27, 1911, the future legendary intelligence officer Nikolay Kuznetsov was born. And this spring was celebrated the 70th anniversary of his heroic death.

During the Great Patriotic War, Kuznetsov worked on the territory of Ukraine under the name of the German infantry officer Paul Siberta and personally eliminated 11 high-ranking officials of the occupying administration.

But no less benefit was brought by the Soviet command and his "bloodless" feats were the information mined. Kuznetsov died from the hands of Bandera. On March 9, 1944, near the village of Bratin Brodovsky district of the Lviv region, he came across the fighters of the Ukrainian rebel army and whether he was shot, whether he blew himself with a grenade, so as not to get into their hands alive (in his fate, as in the fate of any scout, there are many Nerasecred and underwater).

Kuznetsov was one of the prototypes of the hero of the film "Feat Scout" (1947, director Boris Barnet).

The films were subsequently removed directly about Kuznetsov: "Strong Spirit" (1967, director Viktor Georgiev).

"Special purpose detachment" (1987, directed by Georgy Kuznetsov).

And this year the series Sergey Kozhevnikova "On the razor blade" came out.

Today, when the word "Ukraine" is again inseparable from the word "war", the image of Kuznetsova is relevant than ever.

Muscovite represents 11 interesting facts from the life of the legendary scout - by the number of his feats

Nikolay Kuznetsov brilliantly owned German, Polish, Ukrainian, as well as the languages \u200b\u200bof Esperanto and ... Komi. Despite the fact that he never studied at the philologist, and he was born and spent his childhood very far from Germany, Poland, Ukraine. And even from the Komi-Perm. Just he had outstanding abilities to languages. Nikanor Kuznetsov (only in twenty years he changed his name in Nikolai) was born in the village of Zyryanka Perm Province in the peasant family. German began to study at the seven-year school - lucky with the teacher. And with the teacher of labor - he was a soldier of the Austro-Hungarian army, captured during the first world and stacked in the Urals. Having worked in 1930-1932 in the land administration of the Komi-Permytsky district, he realized that it was easier to find a common language with the local population, if this language was learned - and usually Russian officials neglected the languages \u200b\u200bof small nations. According to the Biograph of Kuznetsova, Theodore Gladkov, it was the free possession of Komi-Permyatsky language (together with courage, of course) the attention of local OGPU operatives, they recruited the future scout.

Relations with Soviet law and order in Kuznetsova were not quite smooth. When he studied in a technical school, he was excluded from the Komsomol, as it turned out that his father was in his time in the White Army. And working in the land administration of the Komi-Permytsky district, Kuznetsov issued the militia of the senior comrades engaged in the prescription - they received 8 years in prison, and he is the year of correctional work at the place of service. To become a scout with such stains in the biography, it was necessary to have a considerable talent.

Kuznetsov never happened abroad, nevertheless I perfectly imitated the German officer - not only accent, but also gestures, and shipment. He always squeezed the maximum possible of communicating with foreigners, which was in the territory of the USSR. Working in 1935 - 1936 in the Uralmash design bureau, constantly communicated with the German engineers, which there was a lot there. And in early 1942 he worked in a camp for German prisoners of war in Krasnogorsk, looking at their bushes and manners. By the way, what he did not serve in the Red Army, he also helped him. "In the Russian army at the Rack" Smirno ", he always assumed his hands tightly to face the body, only the palms were pressed, the elbows were turned out to be turned out, why the chest was pronounced, - Teodore Gladkov's biographed. - The fact that Kuznetsov was a human man, unexpectedly something helped: the personnel Soviet officer is the most ordinary military greeting, which after many years of service is given to the goat with the whole palm, of course, completely mechanically, to remake the German it would be extremely difficult. "

In the summer of 1942, Kuznetsov turned out to be in the partisan detachment under Rivne (this city was the "capital" of the occupied Ukraine, it was a Reichsky examination) and began to prepare for the city. And then it turned out that a perfectly lelen lieutenant Paul Siberta is a manner ... talk in a dream! Naturally, in Russian. Kuznetsov asked the doctor of Albert Cessar's squad to wake him up as soon as he would start to mumble. And so for several times per night. And it helped - the Kuznetsov disappeared from talkative. And he said, according to the memories of Cessarsky: "I still show them all who is a real patriot."

On February 7, 1943, the partisan detachment in which there was Kuznetsov, setting an ambush, captured Major Gahan, the courier of the Reichsky examination of Ukraine, and the Imperial adviser to communicate, Lieutenant Colonel Von Raisa. When the stunned Germans came to themselves, Kuznetsov began to interrogate them in the image of Paul Siebet: they say, he realized that the war was lost, Hitler leads Germany to the national catastrophe, switched to the service to the Russian and they also advise not to persist. Moving for several days, Gan and Rais split. Their testimony served as an addition to the secret topographic maps captured in their baggage. It turned out that 8 kilometers from Vinnitsa was built Hitler's bunker under the code name "Vervolph". The information was immediately transferred to Moscow.

Since the spring of 1943, Kuznetsov has attempted several times to kill the Reichskisar of Ukraine Eric Koch. In the summer, he turned to Kohu with a request not to send his bride Valentina Dovger to Germany. Koh appointed them a personal audience as of May 31, but Kuznetsov could not shoot him - there were too many witnesses and security. However, according to theodore of Gladkov, the meeting did not go to the gift - Koch penetrates sympathy to the youthful Ober-Lieutenant, admitted countryman in him and confestedly told that the Führer prepares a surprise at Kursk Bolsheviks. Thanks to this, the Soviet troops managed to apply a leading blow.

Kuznetsov long hunted for the head of the Administration Administration of Rekhomissariat Paulgel. On September 20, 1943, he shot in a drunken general who came out of the head of the office, but it turned out that by mistake killed another imperial official - the adviser to finance as the Minister of Minister Dr. Gansa Gel. On October 8, with the second attempt, the gun of Kuznetsov gave a mischief, and on October 20, the intelligence officer undermined Dargel by the anti-tank grenade. The fascist moved away both legs, he was evacuated to Berlin. Kuznetsov was injured in his hand with a fragment of his own grenade, according to the memoirs of a partisan doctor, asked him to operate herself without anesthesia to test his reaction to pain.

In the fall of 1943, according to Theodor Gladkov, the Svyaznoy Kuznetsova Maya Mikota reported that it was going to leave the city from the city to bring her a Persian carpet to her to bring her a Persian carpet to her. Kuznetsov was alerted and transferred the information above. Thus, it was possible to prevent an attempt on the leaders of the "Big Troika" at the Tehran Conference.

On November 15, Kuznetsov with comrades captured the commander of the Communion of Eastern Battalions (it was mostly Ukrainian punishers) Major General Max Ilgen. When the general was output from the mansion, he helped resistance. The German officers passed on the partisans. The Kuznetsov was not confused and showed them the number a fabric of the Gestapo officer, said they caught the Soviet intelligence officer, "worked" under the German general. I rewrote the names of the witnesses and finding that one of them is the personal driver of Eric Koh Paul Granau, took it with him. After interrogation in the detachment, Ilygen and Granau found a grave in one of the suburban farms.

On November 16, 1943, Kuznetsov made his last elimination in Rivne - she shot the chapter of the legal department of the Reichskisariat (in fact, the main judge of the occupied Ukraine) of the Obrafürera Ca Alfreda. The fascists already knew that a person in the form of the German Ober-Lieutenant hunts the officials. But Kuznetsov managed to stay in the city for a long time - he was made by Hauptman documents (that is, they were raised in the rank). And even did the view that helps to look for a mysterious killer. But in January 1944, the commander of the detachment ordered Medvedev to go to the West following the retreating German troops. In Lviv, Kuznetsov made another twingement of liquidation: among Bloom killed on the street Vice-Governor of Galicia Otto Bowera and the head of the office of the Presidium of Governorship of Heinrich Schneider. But by the spring of 1944, to remain in Lviv is too dangerous. Kuznetsov with two comrades left Lviv, hoping to break into the partisan detachment or behind the front line. On the way, they met their death.

During the life of Kuznetsov did not have a single Soviet award. On November 5, 1944, he was posthumously awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union. And only in 1959 his grave was discovered on the outskirts of the village of Bratin. The next year, the hero remains were transferred to Lviv and buried with military honors on the Hill of Fame.

In Lviv, Vandals ocked the grave of the Soviet intelligence officer Nikolai Kuznetsov. With the tombstone, metal letters and numbers were kidnapped.

Hate hero

Monuments of the heroes of the Soviet era, including the period of the Great Patriotic War, are under the territory of modern Ukraine under constant threat. Many of them have already been destroyed in accordance with the so-called "decamsmanization law".

The Ukrainian Institute of National Memory amounted to a list of persons, monuments in honor of which should be demolished, and the names are crossed out of all the names of the streets and cities.

Soviet intelligence officer also got into the "black list" Nikolay Kuznetsovburied in Lviv on the Hill of Fame.

Kuznetsov, Ukrainian nationalists are still experiencing a beast hatred. The last monument in his honor was destroyed in the village of Rovno region in the spring of 2015.

Ukrainian historians of the new wave are trying to prove that Kuznetsov allegedly fought with the "Ukrainian patriots" from the OUN-UPA. However, documents from archives clearly testify - this was not.

Not because the Soviet intelligence officer was a fan of Ukrainian collaborators, and because this extra-class professional was aimed at Hyola's accomplices, but on their Hitler's hosts.

Youth Superagent

The short life of Nicholas Kuznetsova was surprisingly saturated. Thought with writers, superages with their dizzying adventures do not go to any comparison with the real biography of Kuznetsov.

He was born in the Urals, in the village of Zyryanka, in a large peasant family. He graduated from the seventel, entered the agronomist, then moved to the forest technical school. A young rural guy from the Russian depths caught fire the idea to learn German independently and achieved astounding success. Talent for languages \u200b\u200bwill later manifest even brighter: the intelligence officer will own the Polish and Ukrainian languages, the Komi language, as well as lingering Esperanto. As for the German, he perfectly studied six of his dialects and was able to appear practically before any exit from Germany.

His youth was very violent: the exclusion from the technical school for the "White Guard-Kulatsky origin", the year of correctional work for involvement in the presence of the forest, participation in collectivization and, finally, participation in the shares of the OGPU for the destruction of gangs in the Komi-Permyac.

They shook her heads: the biography of Kuznetsov was, to put it mildly, not exemplary. But the excellent knowledge of the German language and the appearance of the purebred German turned. On the eve of the war, the Soviet special services needed an agent among German citizens.

Under the legend of the German engineer Rudolf SchmidtWorking at the aircraft plant in Moscow, Kuznetsov is introduced into the circles of German diplomats. Pets of women, frequenter of secular events, he easily entered the confidence in the right people, intercepted the diplomatic mail, helped to install the diplomats in the apartments of the diplomats, photographed extensive German documents.

Friendly links of Lieutenant Siebert

With the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, Nikolay Kuznetsov changed the role. Under the leadership of Senior Major State Security Pavel Sudplatovathe 4th Office of the NKVD was formed, whose intelligence and divergence task was included in the deep rear of the enemy.

This time Kuznetsov turned into a German lieutenant Paul Siberta. To cool on Wednesday, he was even placed in the German camp of prisoners of war in Krasnogorsk. The scout took place parachuting, mastered the various types of weapons and the mino-explosive business.

In the summer of 1942, in the detachment of a special purpose "Winners", operating in the area of \u200b\u200bthe Ukrainian city, Rovno, a new fighter appeared by name Nikolai Grachev. To him, under the legend of the German officer, he had to work in the city, where the management of the UKRAIL officer "Ukraine" was located.

The one who in the detachment knew as Grachev was actually Nicholas Kuznetsov. From October 1942, he appears in exactly under the guise of the officer of the German secret police Paul Siberta.

He communicates with the German officers, officials of the occupation administration, employees of German intelligence and counterintelligence, in friendly conversations getting more costly.

It was jewelry: Excessive obsession of Siebert could cause suspicion and inevitable failure. Kuznetsov managed to avoid it.

But, in addition to collecting information, his mission was to eliminate the highest representatives of general general and civil administration.

Hunting

In February 1943, Kuznetsov received information about the fact that a new rate was built in Vinnitsa Hitler called "Vervolph". The information was transferred to Moscow, and the scout itself began to prepare for a possible attempt on the leader of the Third Reich. However, the order for holding such an action he never received.

It was not possible to destroy him and his official "main target" - chapter of the Reikhskyissariat "Ukraine" Eric Kokha. Kuznetsov came to him very close, but every time Kohu managed to slip away. In the summer of 1943, the intelligence officer achieved personal audience in Koch and was ready to sacrifice the sake of the success of the case, but a large amount of security would exclude the possibility of eliminating the object.

But those who have not gone from Kuznetsov, there was much more. In total, on his personal account 11 generals and high-ranking officials of the occupation administration.

Among those who were destroyed by Pavel Siebert, were the Deputy Eric Koch in Finance Hans Gel, Head of the Legal Department of the Reich Insariat "Ukraine" Alfred Fun., commander of the connection of the so-called "eastern battalions" Major General Max Ilgen.

Kuznetsov managed to reveal the idea and its German colleagues-saboteurs. He was the first to give in Moscow information on the preparation of the attempt on the leaders of the USSR, the United States and the UK during the meeting of the "Big Troika" in Tehran.

In January 1944, Nikolay Kuznetsov was transferred to a new command order - to go along with the retreating German troops and continue working in Lviv.

In aid, he was allocated intelligence Ivan Belovand Jan Kaminsky.

But without a base, which was a detachment "Winners", was extremely difficult to act. In addition, German counterintelligence was shot down from the legs in search of a saboteau acting under the guise of the guy of the Wehrmacht.

Nevertheless, in these conditions, Kuznetsov managed to eliminate the Chief of the Government of Districte Galicia Otto Bauer and head of the office of the Government of the Doctor's Governance Henry Schneider..

By the spring of 1944, the further activity of the Kuznetsov group in Lviv became impossible. Scout makes the decision to go to the partisans or break through the front line.

Hitlerians never managed to stop Nikolai Kuznetsov. He died from the hands of Bandera.

Everything happened on March 9, 1944 in the village of Bratin. The group of Kuznetsova, which was in German shape, came across people in Soviet uniforms. The scout did not exclude that the UPA militants before him, but they believed that they would not touch the Germans. If it really came about the Red Army, he expected to explain with them.

Kuznetsov did not consider one: the Nazis shared information about the "saboteurs in German form" with their servants from the UPA. For the detention of his living Bandera promised a generous award.

The junction occurred in one of the houses, where Kuznetsov and his people were stopped. Broken militants killed Ivan Belov. In the tied battle, Bandera tried to twist Kuznetsov, but he managed to pull out a grenade, blowing up himself with collaborators. The third member of the group was killed, Jan Kaminsky.

The remains of people in German form found the Nazis, who reburied them.

Evil spirits against

By decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR of November 5, 1944 for exceptional courage and courage, when performing the tasks of the command, Nikolai Ivanovich Kuznetsov was posthumously awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union.

The scout site was established by search engines only a half decades later, in 1959. On July 27, 1960, on the birthday of Nikolai Kuznetsov, he was reburied with honors on the Hill of Fame in Lviv.

The ratio of the so-called Ukrainian nationalists to the personality of Kuznetsov is best shows their true entity.

They grieve on the Nazi killers, still can not forgive the Red Army of the Exile of the Nazis from the Ukrainian Earth, cannot forgive the fact that the Ukrainian collaborators of the Great Patriotic War were driven into the most deaf forests and ended their lives, dying in sickles from hunger, lice and animal fear of retaliation.

And Nikolay Kuznetsov will forever remain a hero, no matter how fought with his memory.

In the history of global intelligence, few people can compare in the degree of damage caused by the enemy, with a human legend, which was the intelligence officer Nikolay Kuznetsov. His biography without any embellishment is a ready-made script for a spy picture, next to which Bondiana looks fad and primitive. However, after the death of the hero, many books and articles appeared, in which the conjectures of the authors were presented as reliable information and their personal and not always an objective look at who was Nikolai Kuznetsov (scout).

Biography: Childhood

In early 1944, Kuznetsov, with their group, operated on the territory of Lviv Districte and eliminated several important officials.

Death

Kuznetsov Nikolai Ivanovich - Scout, all the circumstances of the death of which are still not worried. It is known for certain that in the spring of 1944, German patrols in Western Ukraine had already orientations with its description. Having learned about this, Kuznetsov decided to go beyond the front line.

Not far from the combat zone in the village of Bratin, the group Kuznetsova came across the squad of the soldiers of the UPA. Bandera learned scouts, although they were in German form and decided to take them alive. Scout Nikolay Kuznetsov (photo, see the review) refused to surrender and was killed. There is also a version that he blew himself up with a grenade.

After death

On November 5, 1944, for courage and exceptional courage, N. I. Kuznetsova posthumously honored the title of Hero of the Soviet Union. His grave has remained unknown for a long time. She was discovered in 1959 in the bonts of Coyki. The remains of the hero of the rejooroniki in Lviv, on the Hill of Fame.

Now you know the biography of the scout Nikolai Kuznetsov, who heroically died in the struggle for the liberation of Ukraine from the fascist invaders.

Kuznetsov Nikolai Ivanovich was born on July 14, 1911 in the village of Zyryanka Perm Province (today it is the Sverdlovsk region). Parents of the future legendary scout were simple peasants. In addition to Nikolai (at birth, the boy received the name Nikanor) they had five more children.

After graduating from seven school classes, Yunoy Nikolai entered the agricultural technical school in Tyumen, to the agronomical department. After a short time, he decided to continue his studies in the Talitsky Forest Technical School, where he seriously engaged in the study of the German language, although he knew him well before that moment. Phenomenal linguistic abilities manifested themselves from the future intelligence officer in childhood. Among his acquaintances was one old forester - a German, a former soldier of the Austro-Hungarian army, from which the guy learned the first lessons. A little later became interested in Esperanto, who independently translated "Borodino" Lermontov. Studying in the forest technical school, Nikolay Kuznetsov discovered the "encyclopedia of forest science" in German and first transferred it to Russian.

Further in his successful linguistic practice were Polish, Komi-Permytsky and Ukrainian languages, mastered quickly and easily. The German Nikolai knew perfectly, and he could speak to six dialects. In 1930, Nikolay Kuznetsov managed to get a taxator assistant to the Komi-Permytsky District Land Management in Kudymkar. Here, Nikolay Kuznetsov received the first conviction - the year of correctional work with a deduction of wages as a collective responsibility for the embezzlement of state property. Moreover, the future secret agent himself, noticing the criminal activities of colleagues, announced this to the police.

After the liberation of Kuznetsov worked in the "Red Hammer" promoters, where he participated in the forced collectivization of peasants, for which he was subjected to a repeated attack on their part. According to one of the versions, it is competent behavior in critical situations, as well as the impeccable knowledge of the Komi-Permytsky language attracted the attention of state security bodies, which involved Kuznetsov in the ACCU shares to eliminate the gangster forest formations. From spring 1938, Nikolai Ivanovich Kuznetsov was part of the NKVD Committee Committee M. Zhuravlev as an assistant. It was Zhuravlev who called later in Moscow to the head of the department of counterintelligence department of the GOGB of the NKVD of the USSR L. Raikhman and recommended him to Nicholas as a particularly gifted employee. Despite the fact that his personal data was not the most brilliant for such activities, the head of the secret - political department of P.V. Fedotov took Nikolai Kuznetsov to the position of a specially secret specialist under his responsibility, and was not mistaken.

Intelligence was issued a "linden" Soviet passport in the name of Rudolf Wilhelmovich Schmidt and gave a task to introduce into the diplomatic environment of the capital. Kuznetsov actively raised the necessary acquaintances with foreign diplomats, went to secular events and mined the information necessary for the Soviet Union. The main purpose of the scout was to recruit a foreign person as an agent, consonant to work in favor of the USSR. For example, it was them that he was recruited an adviser to the diplomatic mission in the capital of Geyza Ladislav Krno. Nikolai Ivanovich Kuznetsov paid special attention to working with the German agent. To do this, he was appointed to work as a test engineer at Moscow Aviation Plant No. 22, where many specialists worked from Germany. Among them were also published against the USSR. Also, the scout participated in the interception of valuable information and diplomatic mail.

Scout Nikolai Ivanovich Kuznetsov.

Since the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, Nikolai Kuznetsov was enrolled in the fourth department of the NKVD, whose main task was to organize intelligence-diversion activities in the rear of the enemy. After numerous training and studying in the camp for prisoners of war and life of the Germans, under the name of Paul Wilhelm Siberta, Nikolai Kuznetsov was sent to the rear of the enemy along the terror line. First, the special agent led his secret activity in the Ukrainian city of Rivne, where the commission of the Commissariat of Ukraine was located. Kuznetsov worked closely with enemy officers of special services and the Wehrmacht, as well as local officials. All mining information was transferred to the partisan detachment.

One of the noteworthy feats of the Secret Agent of the USSR was captured by the courier of the Reichskisariat of Major Gahan, who transported a secret card in his portfolio. After the interrogation of Gahan and the study of the card, it turned out that in eight kilometers from the Ukrainian Vinnitsa, a holker for Hitler was built. In November 1943, Kuznetsov managed to organize the abduction of the German Major General M. Ilgen, who was sent in exactly to destroy partisan compounds.

The last operation of the Siekers scout in this post was the elimination in November 1943 of the head of the legal department of the Rekhomissariat of Ukraine Obberfürera Alfreda Putin. After the interrogation of the pound, the brilliant intelligence officer managed to get information on the preparation of the kill of the "Big Three" chapters of the Tehran Conference, as well as information about the occurrence of the enemy in the Kursk arc. In January 1944, Kuznetsov was ordered together with the retreating fascist troops to go to Lviv to continue their sabotage activities. To help the Agent, Siebert, sent intelligence officers Jan Kaminsky and Ivan Belov. Under the leadership of Nikolai Kuznetsov, several occupiers were destroyed in Lviv, for example, the head of the Office of the Government of Heinrich Schneider and Otto Bauer.

By the spring, 1944, the Germans had already had an idea of \u200b\u200bSoviet intelligence in their Wednesday. Orientation to Kuznetsova was sent to all German patrols of Western Ukraine. As a result, he and his two comrades decided to make their way to the partisan detachments or go beyond the front line. The ninth of March 1944, close to the front line, the intelligence officers faced fighters of the Ukrainian Rebel Army. During the desired shootout in p. Bratin all three were killed. The estimated burial place of Nikolai Ivanovich Kuznetsov was found in September 1959 in the bonts of Kutyok. His remains were reburied on the Hill of Glory in Lviv, July 27, 1960

After the exit at the end of the forties, Dmitry Medvedev's books "It was at exactly" and "strong spirit", about Nicolae Kuznetsov learned the whole country. These books were autobiographical. As you know, in 1942, Colonel NKVD Dmitry Medvedev commanded a partisan detachment in Western Ukraine, to which Kuznetsov was attributed, and could have a lot of interesting things about him. Later, about one and a half dozens of works of various authors of a documentary and artistic nature, which was discussed about the life and exploits of the legendary scout. To our time, about a dozen movies about Kuznetsov, including based on these books, was shot. The most famous of them is the "accept of the scout", 1947, the work of Boris Barnet. Also, in Soviet times, in different cities of the country, several devoted to Kuznetsov monuments were established and many museums were opened. In the post-slate era, a monument to Kuznetsov in the city of Rivne was moved from the city center to the military cemetery. A monument in Lviv in 1992 was dismantled and with the assistance of General KGB Nikolai Strutinsky, who personally knew Kuznetsov, was transferred to the city of Talitsa of the Sverdlovsk region, where the Kuznetsov had ever studied in a forest technical school. Of all the now existing monuments, the most remarkable is located in Yekaterinburg. The funds of his construction were collected by the employees "" Uralmashzavoda, "where the future intelligence officer was worked before the war. The twelve-meter bronze monument was solemnly opened on May 7, 1985 opposite the factory DC. The face of Kuznetsov on the one hand covered with a collar, which emphasizes the incognito scout, and behind his back the cloak tent flies, like a banner as a symbol of loyalty to the Motherland.
