March 25 in the village of Mga took place I X International Festival "Mginsky Bridges", which was dedicated to the Year of History and the 90th anniversary of the Leningrad Region.

The festival has been held for several years with the support of the Governor of the Leningrad Region Alexander Drozdenko, the Regional Committee for Culture, the Leningrad Regional Scientific Universal Library and the Writers' Union of Russia within the framework of the subprogram "Development of international and interregional relations of the Leningrad Region" of the state program "Stimulation of economic activity of the Leningrad Region".

In 2017, authors from St. Petersburg, Moscow, Leningrad, Bryansk, Irkutsk, Kostroma, Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod, Pskov, Smolensk regions and the Krasnodar Territory submitted their works to festival competitions. Poets from Bulgaria, Germany, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Finland and Estonia have already traditionally sent applications for participation in the Mginsky Bridges. Poets from Spain, Italy, Canada, Colombia, Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, the USA, Uruguay and France became the "newbies" of the festival.

On Saturday, March 25, in the CDC "Mga" for the titles of Laureates and Diploma winners in three competitive categories, as well as for special prizes of the festival, the finalists of the full-time literary and musical competition "Mginsky Bridges" competed. In 2017, poets and musicians from Kirovsky, Priozersky, Vsevolozhsky, Podporozhsky, Tikhvinsky, Vyborgsky districts of the Leningrad region, from St. Petersburg, Pskov, Pskov region and Kostroma took part in it. 40 authors reached the final of the competition. In total, according to the approximate estimates of the organizers, about 150 people arrived at Bridges-2017 - participants, guests and spectators.

Before the start of the competitive part, everyone was able to join the creation of the video magazine "Enter the History" with the Mginskiye Mosty, perform in the literary and musical concert "Open Microphone" and take part in a new creative action, which the organizers called "Interactive epistolary session" Winged words". The participants of the session were invited to make a postcard in the form of a butterfly - a symbol of the festival and write a few kind words to a foreign poet - a compatriot and "brother" in the festival movement "Mginsky Bridges". The purpose of the session was to introduce poets living in other cities and countries closer to authors from Russia and to establish interesting creative ties with Russian abroad. The project organizers will send the postcards with warm wishes from the festival participants to the recipients and hope to receive a response.

Book exhibitions of the Leningrad Regional Scientific Universal Library and the Mginsk Village Library worked throughout the festival day. Also, those present could see an exhibition of paintings by the Mginsk artist Yuri Dmitriev, dedicated to the 115th anniversary of their native village.

To greet the participants and wish them good luck in the competition came the head of the Mginsky urban settlement, Vladimir Lagutin; Department of Youth Affairs, Physical Culture and Sports of the Administration of the Kirovsky Municipal District Lyudmila Tsarkova. And according to the good old tradition, the guests did not come empty-handed - they brought their special prizes: "For the best patriotic song" - from the leaders of the Kirov municipal district and a prize for the youngest participant in the competition of young poets "Steps" from the youth department.

He sent a greeting to the festival, handed over a special prize for the poet who created the best lyrical image in his work, and gifts for the winners and prize-winners of the "Steps" Deputy of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation Sergey Petrov.

But, since no one violated the order, the Cossacks, together with their children - the young heirs of the Cossack traditions, enjoyed the performances of the festival participants, which, according to them, they really liked.

Afterword…

Behind any event or achievement that went down in history, there are people - with their thoughts, plans, dreams, life experience and other attendant circumstances. Thus, human deeds form human destinies, and human destinies form the history of villages, cities, regions, and countries. All these events, incidents, people flow like streams into a huge river of world history.

The international festival "Mginsky bridges" has already entered the history of the Leningrad region. And not only because it was dedicated to the Year of History. But because for nine years in a row it has been helping the authors of poems and songs to demonstrate their talent, to be heard and appreciated. The organizers and participants of this major event make this event significant and leaving its mark on history.

"Mginskie Mosty" is an example of a historical event, perhaps not very large-scale, but certainly capable of leaving a mark on the lives of its participants, and therefore in the history of their villages, cities, countries ... And even if this is just a small stream among many , filling the river of world history, but it exists, it is in demand by people, which means it is obliged to live - to decorate our life and create this very history.

On this day:

First annexation of Crimea

Crimean operation

Crimean operation

It was carried out from April 8 to May 12, 1944 by the forces of the 4th Ukrainian Front and the Separate Primorsky Army in cooperation with the Black Sea Fleet and the Azov military flotilla.
The Crimean operation ended with the complete defeat of the 17th German army, only the irretrievable losses of which during the battles amounted to 120 thousand people (of which 61,580 were prisoners).

To this number must be added significant losses of enemy troops during the sea evacuation (during which the Romanian Black Sea flotilla was actually destroyed, having lost 2/3 of the available ship's composition). In particular, the flooding of the German transports "Totila" and "Teia", which is included in the list of the largest in terms of the number of victims of maritime disasters of all time (up to 8 thousand deaths), belongs to this time. Thus, the total irretrievable losses of the German-Romanian troops are estimated at 140 thousand soldiers and officers. As a result of the liberation of Crimea, the threat to the southern wing of the Soviet-German front was removed, and the main naval base of the Black Sea Fleet, Sevastopol, was returned. Having recaptured the Crimea, the Soviet Union regained full control over the Black Sea, which sharply shook Germany's position in Romania, Turkey, and Bulgaria.

Honorary Combat Weapon

Honorary Combat Weapon

On April 8, 1920, a decree of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee established an award - Honorary Combat Weapon.

Initially, it was a saber (dagger), then a firearm of honorable weapon appeared - a Mauser with the Order of the Red Banner on the handle. A total of 21 people received this award.
In 1968, the award of honorary weapons with the golden image of the State Emblem of the USSR was reintroduced. They were awarded 25 marshals and generals. L. I. BREZHNEV was the last to receive the Honorary Weapon for his 70th birthday in 1976 "for outstanding services in strengthening the country's defense capability and improving the Armed Forces of the USSR."

On April 8, 1945, the captured Soviet pilot Mikhail Devyatayev captured a Nazi plane and flew to his own.

Devyatayev's escape: from captivity - on a fascist plane

On April 8, 1945, the captured Soviet pilot Mikhail Devyatayev captured a Nazi plane and flew to his own.

Devyatayev has been in the active army since June 1941. He opened a combat account on June 24, shooting down a Junkers Ju-87 dive bomber near Minsk. Soon those who distinguished themselves in battles were called from Mogilev to Moscow. Mikhail Devyataev, among others, was awarded the Order of the Red Banner. one
July 3, 1944 in an air battle near Lvov was shot down and wounded. At the last moment left the falling fighter with a parachute. Seriously wounded, he was taken prisoner by the Germans. Devyatayev was immediately offered to serve the Fuhrer, that is, to betray the Motherland. But he replied indignantly: "You will not find traitors among the pilots." After the first attempt to escape from the Lodz camp, he was transferred to the Sachsenhausen death camp. The fate of those who got here was only death.
Mikhail Devyataev recalls in his book “Escape from Hell”: “I don’t know how I survived. In the barracks - 900 people, bunks in three floors, 200 gr. bread, a mug of gruel and 3 potatoes - all the food for the day and exhausting work.
But he was lucky, the underground hairdresser, who sympathized with the communists, replaced his suicide bomber token with the token of Grigory Stepanovich Nikitenko, a teacher from Ukraine who died in the camp. For some time, Mikhail Devyataev was a member of the camp team of “treadmills” who tested shoes for durability by order of shoe manufacturers, and in October, under a false name, he was sent to Usedom Island as part of a group of prisoners. There, in the Peenemünde missile center, the development of the FAU-1 cruise missiles and the FAU-2 ballistic missiles was going on. Despite the special conditions of detention, he did not give up the idea of ​​escaping and stubbornly selected reliable people. He spoke about the escape so passionately and with conviction that they believed that we would take off. While working at the airfield, they began to notice all the details of his life: when the planes refuel, when the teams go to dinner, which plane is more convenient to capture.
And then the day came on February 8, 1945 - the Soviet pilot Mikhail Devyatayev, with nine other Soviet prisoners (Ivan Krivonogov, Vladimir Sokolov, Vladimir Nemchenko, Fedor Adamov, Ivan Oleinik, Mikhail Emets, Pyotr Kutergin, Nikolai Urbanovich, Timofey Serdyukov) did the incredible: he stole a secret fascist bomber, along with a control system from the world's first V-2 ballistic missile, as well as delivered to the command valuable information about the world's first long-range cruise missile V-1. This missile was subsequently supposed to turn the tide of the war on the eastern front. The missiles were launched by German fighters from the air and effectively destroyed objects on the ground. Thanks to Soviet military intelligence, the command of the Soviet Union knew about the German plans and took them more than seriously. And the world's first V-2 ballistic missile played an important role in instilling fear among the English population, since London was designated as the first target. On its basis, the Germans developed a project for a two-stage intercontinental ballistic missile with a long flight range, which was supposed to be used to destroy large objects and intimidate the population in the United States and the USSR. But the Soviet pilot Mikhail Devyatayev was able to prevent these plans from coming true. The outcome of World War II might have been different if not for his heroic deed.

Devyatayev landed in Poland behind the front line, got to the command, handed over the plane with secret equipment, and reported the exact coordinates of ten V-2 installations to the commander of our 61st Army, Lieutenant General Belov. And a few days later the Peenemünde missile base was destroyed.
In September 1945, Devyatayev showed Soviet specialists the places where rocket assemblies were made and where they were launched from. It was for his help in creating the first Soviet R-1 rocket in 1957 that S.P. Korolev was able to present Devyatayev to the title of Hero of the Soviet Union. During his life, MP Devyataev was awarded the Order of Lenin, two Orders of the Red Banner, Orders of the Patriotic War I and II degrees, and medals.

The escape of Devyatayev's group alarmed the German command. A few days later, Goering arrived on the island and ordered the camp commandant and the head of the air base to be shot (however, Hitler canceled his order and reinstated the commandant in his position). According to some estimates, the hijacking of an aircraft equipped with special radio equipment made further testing of the V-2 so problematic that Hitler called our pilot a personal enemy.

Mikhail Devyataev lived in Kazan until his last days. As long as his strength allowed, he worked as a captain of the river fleet, including leading the crews of the very first domestic hydrofoil ships - the Rocket and Meteor. Participated in the veterans' movement, provided assistance to those who needed it most.

Hero died on November 24, 2002 at the age of 85. He was buried in the alley of the Heroes of the Arsky cemetery of Kazan, where the memorial complex of the soldiers of the Great Patriotic War is located.

On them, the fire was shot down directly over Latvia, falling into the sea.

On April 8, 1920, a decree of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee established an award - Honorary Combat Weapon.

Initially, it was a saber (dagger), then a firearm of honorable weapon appeared - a Mauser with the Order of the Red Banner on the handle. A total of 21 people received this award.
In 1968, the award of honorary weapons with the golden image of the State Emblem of the USSR was reintroduced. They were awarded 25 marshals and generals. L. I. BREZHNEV was the last to receive the Honorary Weapon for his 70th birthday in 1976 "for outstanding services in strengthening the country's defense capability and improving the Armed Forces of the USSR."

On April 8, 1945, the captured Soviet pilot Mikhail Devyatayev captured a Nazi plane and flew to his own.

Devyatayev's escape: from captivity - on a fascist plane

On April 8, 1945, the captured Soviet pilot Mikhail Devyatayev captured a Nazi plane and flew to his own.

Devyatayev has been in the active army since June 1941. He opened a combat account on June 24, shooting down a Junkers Ju-87 dive bomber near Minsk. Soon those who distinguished themselves in battles were called from Mogilev to Moscow. Mikhail Devyataev, among others, was awarded the Order of the Red Banner. one
July 3, 1944 in an air battle near Lvov was shot down and wounded. At the last moment left the falling fighter with a parachute. Seriously wounded, he was taken prisoner by the Germans. Devyatayev was immediately offered to serve the Fuhrer, that is, to betray the Motherland. But he replied indignantly: "You will not find traitors among the pilots." After the first attempt to escape from the Lodz camp, he was transferred to the Sachsenhausen death camp. The fate of those who got here was only death.
Mikhail Devyataev recalls in his book “Escape from Hell”: “I don’t know how I survived. In the barracks - 900 people, bunks in three floors, 200 gr. bread, a mug of gruel and 3 potatoes - all the food for the day and exhausting work.
But he was lucky, the underground hairdresser, who sympathized with the communists, replaced his suicide bomber token with the token of Grigory Stepanovich Nikitenko, a teacher from Ukraine who died in the camp. For some time, Mikhail Devyataev was a member of the camp team of “treadmills” who tested shoes for durability by order of shoe manufacturers, and in October, under a false name, he was sent to Usedom Island as part of a group of prisoners. There, in the Peenemünde missile center, the development of the FAU-1 cruise missiles and the FAU-2 ballistic missiles was going on. Despite the special conditions of detention, he did not give up the idea of ​​escaping and stubbornly selected reliable people. He spoke about the escape so passionately and with conviction that they believed that we would take off. While working at the airfield, they began to notice all the details of his life: when the planes refuel, when the teams go to dinner, which plane is more convenient to capture.
And then the day came on February 8, 1945 - the Soviet pilot Mikhail Devyatayev, with nine other Soviet prisoners (Ivan Krivonogov, Vladimir Sokolov, Vladimir Nemchenko, Fedor Adamov, Ivan Oleinik, Mikhail Emets, Pyotr Kutergin, Nikolai Urbanovich, Timofey Serdyukov) did the incredible: he stole a secret fascist bomber, along with a control system from the world's first V-2 ballistic missile, as well as delivered to the command valuable information about the world's first long-range cruise missile V-1. This missile was subsequently supposed to turn the tide of the war on the eastern front. The missiles were launched by German fighters from the air and effectively destroyed objects on the ground. Thanks to Soviet military intelligence, the command of the Soviet Union knew about the German plans and took them more than seriously. And the world's first V-2 ballistic missile played an important role in instilling fear among the English population, since London was designated as the first target. On its basis, the Germans developed a project for a two-stage intercontinental ballistic missile with a long flight range, which was supposed to be used to destroy large objects and intimidate the population in the United States and the USSR. But the Soviet pilot Mikhail Devyatayev was able to prevent these plans from coming true. The outcome of World War II might have been different if not for his heroic deed.

Devyatayev landed in Poland behind the front line, got to the command, handed over the plane with secret equipment, and reported the exact coordinates of ten V-2 installations to the commander of our 61st Army, Lieutenant General Belov. And a few days later the Peenemünde missile base was destroyed.
In September 1945, Devyatayev showed Soviet specialists the places where rocket assemblies were made and where they were launched from. It was for his help in creating the first Soviet R-1 rocket in 1957 that S.P. Korolev was able to present Devyatayev to the title of Hero of the Soviet Union. During his life, MP Devyataev was awarded the Order of Lenin, two Orders of the Red Banner, Orders of the Patriotic War I and II degrees, and medals.

The escape of Devyatayev's group alarmed the German command. A few days later, Goering arrived on the island and ordered the camp commandant and the head of the air base to be shot (however, Hitler canceled his order and reinstated the commandant in his position). According to some estimates, the hijacking of an aircraft equipped with special radio equipment made further testing of the V-2 so problematic that Hitler called our pilot a personal enemy.

Mikhail Devyataev lived in Kazan until his last days. As long as his strength allowed, he worked as a captain of the river fleet, including leading the crews of the very first domestic hydrofoil ships - the Rocket and Meteor. Participated in the veterans' movement, provided assistance to those who needed it most.

Hero died on November 24, 2002 at the age of 85. He was buried in the alley of the Heroes of the Arsky cemetery of Kazan, where the memorial complex of the soldiers of the Great Patriotic War is located.

On them, the fire was shot down directly over Latvia, falling into the sea.
