Paramedic in the army under contract. Military paramedic Was a military paramedic

For four long years, doctors, nurses, paramedics and medical instructors worked day and night, often without sleep or food, to save as many people as possible. Risking their lives, they carried the wounded out of the shelling; died, obscuring other soldiers. Therefore, the stories that are told here are just a drop in the ocean of the daily, hourly feat of medical workers committed during the war.

Mikhailov Fedor Mikhailovich (May 30, 1898 - August 5, 1942)

Before the Great Patriotic War, Fyodor Mikhailov did not have time to visit anyone - and a farm laborer, and a cabin boy, and a deputy in the Kronstadt Soviet, and a soldier during the Civil War, and a radiologist, and the head physician of a maternity hospital.

In 1941, he was surrounded, tried to cross the front line, but could not get over to the Soviet troops, so he returned to the city of Slavuta, where he had worked before, headed the district hospital there and organized an underground organization to fight the Nazis. The underground spread news about the course of the fighting among the local population, printed leaflets, and organized sabotage. In the hospital, wounded Soviet soldiers hid and were treated.

Mikhailov was arrested in July 1942, on a denunciation. The doctor was interrogated for a long time, demanding to hand over the rest of the participants in the anti-fascist resistance, but he was staunchly silent. Fyodor Mikhailovich was executed on the territory of his hospital. For courage and heroism, he was posthumously awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union.

Buyko Petr Mikhailovich (October 19, 1895 - October 15, 1943)

Petr Buiko began to master the profession of a doctor back in the First World War - he was a military paramedic at the front. In 1922 he graduated from the Kyiv Medical Institute, by 1938 he was already a professor.

With the outbreak of the war, he immediately volunteered as a surgeon. After being seriously wounded, he was captured by the Germans, but released during a POW riot. Having recovered, he began working in the district hospital in the city of Fastov, by that time occupied by enemies. Pretending to be collaborating with the Nazis, he sabotaged the sending of people to forced labor in Germany, treated partisans, supplied them with medicines, and participated in underground work.

In June 1943, his activities were exposed, but Buyko, along with a group of other doctors, managed to escape, taking medicines and instruments from the hospital. Having joined the partisan detachment, he continued to treat the wounded, often making his way to the villages if information came that somewhere someone needed medical help.

Pyotr Mikhailovich was arrested on October 13, severely tortured, trying to get information about the partisans and their contacts. The doctor was silent. Peasants from the village of Yaroshevka, where Buyko was held, tried to organize his escape, but he refused, realizing that the Germans would arrange reprisals for this. The doctor and several other captured partisans were doused with gasoline and burned the day after they were arrested.

Uspensky Vasily Vasilievich (December 20, 1881 - August 21, 1952)

As if striving to live in harmony with his last name, Vasily Uspensky managed to do a lot in his life. Still not formally graduating from medical education, he had already visited Persia, where he fought the epidemic of cholera and typhus, in Paris, where he worked at the Pasteur Institute. One of the first in the country, back in the early 1920s, began to practice blood transfusion; operated on the heart and brain, performed oncological operations. He was awarded the degree of Doctor of Medicine in 1935 even without defending a dissertation.

He could not become a military doctor and save soldiers on the battlefield when the war began - back in 1937, he lost his leg due to an accident. But this could not stop the active doctor. Until November 1943, he was the chief physician at the district hospital in the city of Kashin. Then he returned to Kalinin, from where he had to leave because of the occupation, and again began to lead his surgical department. True, at first, almost from scratch, the hospital itself had to be restored - the Germans destroyed it, destroyed the entire medical library, valuable surgical material.

But this was not enough for the doctor. In parallel with his main work, he organized and headed a children's hospital. More than three thousand sick, wounded, crippled children were saved in it, whom the partisans took out of the German rear. The work of the Russian doctor was known even abroad - representatives of the American Red Cross came to the Uspensky Children's Hospital, the wife of British Prime Minister Clementine Churchill spoke about it on the radio.

In 1944, Vasily Uspensky was awarded the title of Honored Doctor of the RSFSR and the Order of Lenin.

Georgy Fedorovich Sinyakov (April 6, 1903 - February 7, 1978)

Having gone to the front on the second day of the war, surgeon Georgy Sinyakov was captured during the battles for Kyiv - he provided medical assistance to the encircled soldiers to the last, and then it was too late to retreat.

Ended up in a concentration camp in Koyustrin, Poland. Here he showed the Germans what a Russian man is capable of - exhausted, hungry, Sinyakov performed a complex many hours of operation, standing barefoot on cold ground. Even the Germans themselves began to secretly seek medical help from a doctor.

Using his position, he saved many prisoners by simulating their death. The surgeon announced that his patient had died; that was thrown into the ditch to other bodies, from where the soldier was already moving to his own. Among those who fled from the camp in this way was the pilot Anna Yegorova, whom Sinyakov left after being seriously wounded, and then declared dead.

When a Jewish youth came to him, the doctor hid his documents, gave the patient a Russian name, cured him, and then imitated a sudden infection, from which the soldier “died”. Ilya Ehrenburg wrote to his savior after the war that he replaced his father, brother and friend in the most nightmarish days.

When the Nazis abandoned the concentration camp because of the approach of Russian troops and wanted to shoot all the remaining prisoners, it was Georgy Fedorovich who managed to convince them not to do this. The doctor did not receive the title of hero - due to the fact that he was a prisoner and collaborated with the Germans, but this does not detract from either his work or the price of the lives he saved.

Ermolyeva Zinaida Vissarionovna (October 24, 1898 - December 2, 1974)

The fate of the Battle of Stalingrad was largely determined by Zinaida Yermolyeva, the woman who stopped the cholera epidemic among Soviet soldiers. Reports that cholera broke out in German units near Stalingrad began to arrive in the summer of 1942. The disease could easily cover both our troops and the evacuated residents, and through them spread to other regions of the country. This could not be allowed to happen, so a recognized cholera specialist, professor of microbiology Zinaida Ermolyeva was urgently sent to Stalingrad.

The bacteriophage she brought was not enough, and an additional batch of medicine could not be delivered to the war zone. Then Zinaida Vissarionovna set up a laboratory for its production right in the besieged city - in one of the basements. She and her assistants vaccinated soldiers and civilians, serving thousands of people a day, went around houses looking for the sick, carried out sanitary work, took water samples, examined people at evacuation centers. All this time, the professor remained in Stalingrad, around which the encirclement was closing up more and more tightly.

By the end of 1942, through the efforts of Yermolyeva, the threat of the epidemic had passed, which she informed Stalin about. Only after this did the offensive of the Soviet troops begin, which ended with a victory that turned the tide of the entire war.

For her invaluable contribution to the success of the decisive battle, Zinaida Vissarionovna was awarded the Order of Lenin and the Stalin Prize. The professor gave all the money received for the construction of a fighter aircraft.
