Brief biography of Baradulin

In the early days of the war, Borodulin came to the military enlistment office with a statement that he would be corrected to the front. But the summer teenager, of course, was not taken into the army. Then Sasha and his friends wrote a letter to Marshal Klim Voroshilov with a request to take them to the front.

There were weeks, there was no answer from the marshal. When the Germans began to approach the village, the boy somehow found out that they began to form a partisan detachment, and asked him to be taken to the "people's avengers". But here I received a refusal. Sasha decided to go into the forest to join the partisans. Before leaving, he left a note: “Mom, dad, sisters!

I can’t stay at home anymore. Please do not cry about me. I will return when our homeland will be free. We will win! In August, the teenager did not lose in vain, I found a rifle, cartridges, hid the“ wealth ”in the forest. Now they came in handy, Sasha went to look for a few more. Days. Destroyed both. Then he took the machine guns, cartridges to them and documents. Continued the search.

Nevertheless, he found the partisans, passing them trophies. With the help of which he quickly won the trust of new comrades. Another factor helped to become his own: the partisans were led by his history teacher - Ivan Bolozhev. It turned out that the detachment was preparing a raid to the Cholovo station, there the Germans equipped workshops who guarded two platoons - 70 soldiers.

We needed a scout, a summer, but a smart teenager for this was perfect. Sasha was dressed in a rowing under a beggar and sent to the station. The information was very valuable. And most importantly, that Borodulin said, the Germans are relaxed during the day, there are no attacks, unlike the night. Better to attack during the day. So they did. The Nazis could not organize defense.

The station and equipment were destroyed. A day later, the "People's Avengers" attacked the thicket station. They also defeated the garrison and destroyed the workshops. Sasha Borodulin participated in both actions, demonstrating enviable courage and courage. For which he received the Order of the Red Banner. In the city of the last battle in one of the surrounding villages, a local resident handed over the products to the partisans, which the Germans learned about.

A furious battle ensued. But the forces were too unequal. It was necessary to retreat. So someone had to cover the detachment departure. 5 people volunteered, with them Sasha Borodulin. Borodulin, along with other heroes, joined the battle. After a moment, Alexander was left alone, but continued to shoot so that the partisans left as far as possible.

The cartridges ended. Grenades were used. The last one was left, the boy waited when the Nazis came closer to him and pulled the ring, blowing them up with him. For his feat, Borodulin was awarded the second order of the Red Banner. The name of the hero in the USSR was worn by many pioneering squads, in his honor a huge dry cargo was named. In several villages of the Leningrad and Novgorod regions, his name is of the street.
