Today, on the eve of the 69th Victory Day, the staff of the Volga Interregional Environmental Investigations Directorate of the Investigative Committee of Russia headed by the first deputy head of the directorate Irina Potlova visited Great Patriotic War veterans Tatyana Yevtikhiyevna Ganicheva and Alexander Alexandrovich Senotrusov and congratulated them on the Day of Victory in the Great Patriotic War. Veterans greeted the guests in full dress, with smiles on their faces.
The veterans spoke about the difficult trials that befell the Soviet people during the war, about their service in the Soviet Army. The veterans reached Berlin.
Tatyana Yevtikhiyevna Ganicheva was born on January 13, 1921 in the village of Vershikamenka, Kirovograd Region, Ukraine. For a young 20-year-old girl, the war began in the city of Dnepropetrovsk. She went to the front in the beginning of the war and served in the 19th Tank Regiment of the Panfilov 3rd Guards Tank Division as a nurse. For Tatyana Yevtikhiyevna Ganicheva, the war is primarily memories about wounded soldiers, whom she nursed, and about many people, who were killed. When asked what helped her survive during the war, Tatyana Yevtikhiyevna Ganicheva answered succinctly: "The order and decency".
Alexander Alexandrovich Senotrusov was born on March 3, 1923 in a small settlement of Semirechye Cossacks in Kazakhstan. He was called up to the Soviet Red Army in 1941 in a reserve signal company, where, after graduating from the signalman courses, he taught the communications work several dozen recruits. Alexander Alexandrovich Senotrusov got to the front in 1943, in the midst of war. He made his way up from sergeant to colonel and became commander of the wire communications division. He participated in military battles at the 1st and the 2nd Baltic Fronts, was involved in the operation "Bagration". As veteran says: “The victory in the operation "Bagration" was dearly bought. The conditions were severe, we fought in the marshlands. But we resisted and won. We captured about ten thousand fascists and drove the Germans out to East Prussia".
For their military service, Tatyana Yevtikhiyevna Ganicheva and Alexander Alexandrovich Senotrusov were awarded medals "For Military Merit", "For Victory over Germany in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945" and many other decorations.
In a warm homely atmosphere, Investigations Directorate officers listened stories of military days, which are of particular value when being told by direct eyewitnesses to the most brutal and bloodiest war in human history. When the veterans recalled May 9, 1945, their eyes got wet, and their hearts were filled with light sadness, because 1,418 days of sorrows and joys, defeats and victories will remain in heart and memory forever.
In conclusion, employees of the directorate took pictures with veterans to remember the hearty visit.
