Recommended Story 1: (Famous Patriotic Stories during World War II)--Introduction

"The Story of Zoya and Shura" Zoya and Shura were a pair of siblings who received formal schooling under the Soviet government, and then enlisted in the army for three years in the Patriotic War, and then gave up their lives in the grueling war of defense of the motherland. This book is a true story, and Lyu Kosmodemyanskaya, the mother of Zoya and Shura, records in this book a true account of the ephemeral and glorious life of Zoya and Shura.

This is a book about the young heroes of the Soviet Patriotic War. Zoya and Shura were born in the Soviet Union in the 1920s in an ordinary working people's family, in the parents of the dedicated education, siblings from childhood gradually developed many good qualities: respect for elders, helpful, diligent study, active labor, love of life, a wide range of interests, etc. In 1941, the German fascists invaded the Soviet Union, Zoya is still in the ninth grade bid farewell to his mother, joined the guerrillas, and went to the front line of the defense of the motherland, the German army, the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union. She went to the front line of defense of the motherland, and was arrested when she burned down the enemy stables in the enemy-occupied area. Zoya was arrested while burning the enemy's stables in enemy-occupied territory. The strong Zoya withstood all kinds of inhuman torture and didn't disclose any secrets of the partisans. In the end, the cruel Germans hanged Zoya. The younger brother Shura, who had been y attached to his sister since childhood, entered the tank school to be trained as a tank driver after Zoya's death with the determination to avenge his sister's death. Soon, he drove a tank to the front line, and his comrades bravely killed the enemy. In the battle, he was calm and courageous, charging into the battle, and repeatedly made meritorious achievements, successively won the First Class Gold Medal and the Order of the Red Banner. Finally, in April 1945 - on the eve of victory in World War II - he died in the attack on K?nigsberg. The author Lyu Kosmodemjanskaya, mother of Zoya and Shura, recalls with affection the life of her siblings from their birth to their deaths in simple language and fluent writing. Through the growth of Zoya and Shura, we can find that the creation of heroes is not accidental. The siblings were kind and studious, honest and determined, unafraid of difficulties and strong from a young age.

Two: the specifics of the time (the owner should understand the whole process) well look down:

Moscow's new Holy Women's Cemetery in the statue of Zoya Sun Yongjun photographed

The former Soviet Union in the socialist revolution and the construction of more than 70 years, there have been thousands of heroes, 60 years ago, in the Patriotic War heroine **** youth members of Zoya is one. 18-year-old Zoya in the socialist revolution and construction of more than 70 years, once there were thousands of heroes, 60 years ago in the Patriotic War heroine **** youth members is one of them. At the age of 18, Zoya fell into the hands of the German fascists and was hanged after being brutally abused. Zoya's heroism has been widely disseminated through literature, and the book "The Story of Zoya and Shura" had a strong reaction in China in the 1950s and 1960s, inspiring millions of young people to devote themselves to the construction of socialism in a sensational way.

Recently, with the declassification of a large number of top secret files, people know more and more about this heroine. Not long ago, the reporter braved the snow to find the hero's path of this young girl in the flower season.

From Moscow along the Minsk highway westbound about 70 kilometers, we saw a huge statue standing on the side of the road. The statue's pedestal reads in gilded letters, "Heroine of the Soviet people Zoya is immortalized!" Zoya standing on the high pedestal with her hands behind her back, gazing at the passing cars and pedestrians with a deep gaze, looking mature and confident, reminding people at once of the heroine's dying words standing in front of the gallows: "I'm not alone, there are 20,000,000 of us, you can't hang us all!" Around the statue, there are many flowers and baskets, ribbons with the words "We will always remember your merits".

About 3 kilometers south of the Minsk highway from the statue of Zoya is the village of Petrishevo, where the heroine died, and where there is a memorial to Zoya. It is said that the statue of Zoya at the entrance of the museum is closer to the heroine herself: a thinly clad girl with her hands clipped behind her back, a thick rope contrasting with her thin shoulders, bare feet standing on the snow, pursed lips seem to be telling people in silence that this quiet girl contains an extraordinary strength.

Into the memorial, hanging on the wall after the sacrifice of Zoya archive photos: disheveled short hair can not hide the face of the scars, long neck is still left on a section of the noose. The photo is said to have been seized from captured German soldiers and officers after the war, and shows Zoya's left breast brutally cut off, with a hazy aura artfully added by the memorial when the photo was processed.

From good girl to heroine

The memorial museum has restored Zoya's intelligence, beauty, kindness and studiousness with a variety of exhibits to the image of the heroine, who was a valiant and heroic woman. The hero was enrolled in Moscow High School No. 201, and the certificate of merit issued to her by the school on July 20, 1936, tells people about Zoya's student days.

Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya was born on September 13, 1923, she was honest, studious, liked by teachers and classmates. In 1936, when she was only 13 years old, Zoya wrote in her diary about May Day: "I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to make it, but I'm sure I'm going to be able to make it. "Day:" May 1, 1936, the weather was sunny, slightly windy. The weather was sunny with a slight breeze. 'May Day' was a happy day, my mother went to the holiday parade at 7:30 a.m. I woke up in a good mood, quickly washed up, ate, took the tram to Red Square, and spent the whole day on the streets, shopping in malls and buying sweets ...... "

Attention-grabbing is the fact that most of the displays in the memorial are Zoya's living and school supplies from before 1937. It is said that Zoya's father was suppressed in the Soviet Union's Great Purge campaign in the late 1930s, so not much has been written about Zoya during this period. The memorial museum displays a dress worn by Zoya during her lifetime and a photo of her wearing it with her classmates. Squeezed in among her classmates, Zoya is slightly shy, and it is conceivable that, had it not been for the outbreak of the Great Patriotic War, Zoya would probably have become an obscure schoolteacher.

In the early hours of June 22, 1941, the iron hooves of German fascism crushed the peaceful life of the Soviet people, and the arduous Great Patriotic War began. At the beginning of the war, the German fascists took advantage of the hasty preparation of the Soviet army, rapidly advancing into the Soviet hinterland, the German commander could already see Moscow through the binoculars. A map of the enemy's posture during the war, displayed in the memorial, gives a sense of the grave situation facing Moscow at that time. The famous propaganda poster "Motherland is Calling" and the slogan of the defense of Moscow "Not a step back, behind us is Moscow!" are still powerful.

When the war broke out, Zoya was not yet 18 years old, just a young girl in her prime.

After being arrested, she called herself Danniang

Late in the night of November 26, 1941, Zoya was arrested when the guerrillas were carrying out a mission to burn down the logistics base of the German invaders. In the face of the enemy's torture, Zoya remembered the "Daniang Solomaha biography" that she had read in middle school, and the heroic deeds of this village schoolteacher and female Bolshevik during the October Revolution were y seared into Zoya's young heart, so she called herself Daniang, refused to answer any questions from the German bandits, and refused to disclose any secrets of the partisans. According to the newly declassified archives, Klubkov, who was on a combat mission with Zoya, defected to the enemy after being captured by the Germans and identified Zoya to the Germans (the traitor Klubkov was sentenced to death on April 3, 1942 by a Soviet military court). Zoya was even stronger after her identity was revealed, and even the heinous torture used by the Krauts did not make the young female partisan talk. The Germans stripped Zoya of her clothes and forced her to run around barefoot in the winter snow, where she was brutally abused by the Nazi bandits.......

On November 29, 1941, the German fascists, who had nothing else to do, erected a gallows in a clearing at the entrance to the village of Petrishevo. The fearless heroine climbed onto the gallows, which consisted of three empty ammunition crates, and let the fascists put a noose around her neck. Standing in front of the gallows, Zoya exclaimed, "Comrades! Why are you looking on so sorrowfully? Brace yourselves, struggle, fight the fascists, set them on fire, poison them with poison!" "I am not afraid to die, comrades! It is happiness to die for one's people!" Then Zoya turned to the German officers and soldiers and shouted, "You are hanging me now, but I am not alone, we are 20,000,000 people, you can't hang us all, someone will avenge me. Soldiers! Surrender before it is too late: sooner or later the victory will be ours!" At the last moment of her life, Zoya cried out with all her might: "Farewell, comrades! Fight, don't be afraid! Stalin is with us!"

After Zoya's sacrifice, the German fascists, in order to create white terror, did not allow the villagers to bury her body, so that after the sacrifice Zoya hung on the gallows for more than a month. Soviet Red Army approaching the village of Petrishevo, the German soldiers and officers before fleeing with a bayonet to cut the noose, Zoya thrown into the snowdrift in an attempt to cover up the crime. However, one soldier went so far as to peel back the shirt from Zoya's body and cut away her left breast with his bayonet. After the Germans fled, the grief-stricken villagers buried Zoya in a grove outside the village.

On January 27, 1942, the village of Petrishevo was liberated. On that day, the Soviet **** central organ "Pravda" and "**** Youth League Pravda" simultaneously published a long newsletter titled "We will never forget you, Tanya! which detailed the heroine's heroic deeds. At that time, people did not know what was the real name of the heroine who died in front of the German invaders, but the authors only described her truthfully based on the fact that she called herself Danniang in front of the enemy. In order to find out the real identity of Danniang, the Soviet government issued a missing person's notice, and more than ten mothers whose daughters' whereabouts were unknown quarreled over the remains of the body. Later, the Soviet government set up a special commission for forensic identification. Due to the freezing cold at that time, the remains of Zoya dug out of the grove temporary burial site basically maintained the original appearance. After a thorough investigation, the forensic medical examination of the victim is really Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya. 1942 February 16, the Soviet government posthumously awarded Zoya "Hero of the Soviet Union" title, Zoya became the first Soviet woman to receive this highest honor.

There is an unsubstantiated claim that in the latter stages of World War II, Marshal Stalin personally signed an order that in view of the involvement of the German 197th Infantry Division in the persecution of Zoya, the Red Army of the USSR refused to accept the surrender of any of the officers and men of the division, and that any executioner who landed on the net would be killed without mercy!

The atrocities of the German fascists and Zoya's heroism aroused the hatred of the whole Soviet people for fascism and greater enthusiasm for the struggle. The Soviet youth, inspired by the heroism of Zoya, took up arms and went to the front, including Zoya's brother Shura.

Upon learning of Zoya's death, Shura also quietly left home, joined the Red Army and grew up to be a lieutenant in a tank squadron. Unfortunately, Shura died on the eve of the victory in his command post, and on May 5, 1945, four days before the victory in the Patriotic War, Shura was buried in Zoya's resting place - the cemetery of the New Holy Virgin in Moscow, where the two siblings slept opposite each other.

Petrishevo villagers say Zoya

The various accounts of Zoya's sacrifice are still debated today. In the village of Petrishevo, the place of the hero's sacrifice, we hear another version. At that time, Zoya went to the village of Petrishevo, which was occupied by the Germans, to carry out the combat mission of burning the German logistical base, according to the orders of the partisan commander, and she was specifically responsible for burning the German stables. Due to her lack of combat experience, Zoya mistakenly burned down a residential house. The next night, when she returned to the village to continue her mission, she was captured by the angry owner of the house and handed over to the Germans. The villagers believe that Zoya should never have returned, as it is more dangerous to return to a place that has been attacked a day later. However, as a partisan, it is her duty to follow orders.

Next to the small house where Zoya spent her last night, there is a black marble monument with a sketch of the heroine's head. The inscription reads: "In this house the fascists beastly tortured Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya, partisan and member of the **** Youth League, before the execution. From here the young heroine went to death and immortality."

Flowers offered to the hero

On November 29 last year, the 60th anniversary of Zoya's death, representatives of the Moscow city and Moscow region governments and all walks of life gathered in the village of Petrishevo and at Moscow's New Holy Women's Cemetery in a solemn ceremony to pay deep tribute to the indomitable national heroine. Hundreds of veterans and representatives of all walks of life laid wreaths at the Zoya Monument, a military band played the Russian national anthem, and Russian officers and soldiers paraded past Zoya Square to pay their highest respects to her to the accompaniment of a majestic march. In addition to the official commemorative activities, many ordinary people also braved the cold to come to the memorial, they brought flowers and cigarettes to Zoya - the kind of soft cigarettes for women, with their own true feelings, their own way to pay tribute to this strong and unyielding legendary heroine. ▲

Once Anatoly Petrovich (Zoya's father - ed.) decided to teach Zoya to swim. He pulled her and swam away from the river bank, then suddenly dropped her. Zoya sank down for a drink of water, bubbled up, and sank down again....... I was half-dead with fear on the bank. To be sure, Anatoly Petrovich was swimming beside her; he was a very good swimmer, and naturally had no need to fear for the child's drowning; but it was, after all, dreadful to watch her drinking, and to see her sinking below the water continually and toplessly. She did not cry out a word, as I remember; she resisted and struggled with all her might, but made no sound.

Then my father grabbed her and swam her to the riverbank. "Good seed! In two more times you will be able to swim!" The father said so assuredly. "Scared?" I asked her as I dried her off. "Scared." She said frankly. "Are we still going swimming?" Father asked her teasingly. "Still going." Zoya replied firmly.
