Commander 17 rifle division goats. "... and before building to shoot"

Sergey Argeantsev

Soviet commander, Colonel, Member of several wars Peter Kozlov was born in the Klimovichsky district. His childhood was held here, he graduated from school and… entered into an adult independent life. But today there are no information about this person on the Climascian, although the other military managers, local natives, local historians know well. Acquaintance with the biography of PS Kozlov shows that it had many secrets and secrets, not solved so far.

Peter Sergeevich Kozlov was born in 1905 in the village of Dommerchi Klimovichsky District. His parents were ordinary peasants, so the Son was expected to repeat the fate of the parents. But turning times, revolutions and war cool changed the life path of a simple rural guy.
For the new government, Peter's peasant origin was a confirmation that he shares the Bolshevik policies. This, beyond doubt it was. In 1924, Peter Kozlov becomes Komsomol, and the next few years receives military education. After the release, a young officer commands a platoon, a roth, a battalion. In 1936 he was sent to fight in Spain. After returning, becoming a regiment commander, he goes to the Soviet-Finnish war, for which he was marked by the Order of the Red Banner. In the summer of 1940, Major Peter Kozlov participates in the joining of Bessarabia. The last peace months were occupied by study at the Air Academy.
On July 2, 1941, Colonel Kozlov is entrusted to form the detachments of the Moskvoretsky district, which became the 17th Russian rifle division of the national militia. The division is heroically fighting, enters the environment and with heavy losses goes to his. In October 1941, the commander of the Western Front of Zhukov ordered to shoot P. Kozlov for the division of the division from its position. He was arrested and interrogated, and then the strip of events begins, whose unpoles are engaged to this day. According to one of the versions, Colonel Kozlov was convicted by the Tribunal and shot before the rank. But there is evidence, testifying that Peter Kozlov escaped from under arrest and after the escape was captive at the Germans.
In the archives, information about the Soviet prisoners sent by the Germans to the Warsaw intelligence has been preserved. Among them was an officer who can be considered Colonel Kozlov. This indicates the fact that in 1942 the German intelligence officer voluntarily appeared in the NKVD and transmitted a letter from Kozlov. The letter suggested to establish cooperation to fight the fascists behind the front line. But the proposal was not accepted, as it was considered that the enemy intelligence uses Kozlov in the agent of the game. In addition, the requests of the NKVD reported that Kozlov was shot or disappeared. Obviously, the Soviet special services wanted to risk.
After perestroika, the mysterious disappearance of Peter Kozlov again fell into the field of view of the researchers. It is significant that on October 5, 2005 his posthumous rehabilitation took place, as unreasonably repressed in extrajudicially. But after four years, rehabilitation was canceled on the basis that Kozlov was not shot, because he fled from custody and captured. It makes certainty in the most tangled episode of his biography, but still does not give an answer to the question why he found himself in German captivity and how he left himself. There is information that on January 5, 1943 P.S. Kozlov was executed in the final frequency truck. So, apparently, he became one of the countless victims of that bloody era, whose life broke and destroyed the cruel circumstances of wartime.

Disassembly:

Camentars:

A small village in which he was born, grew, about which she always remembered Colonel Kozlov. Probably he had a family somewhere. His children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren know that Klimovichi remembers him. And maybe they crossed out of memory as the "enemy of the people." But we now know that the enemies of the people do not happen.

Family in Colonel Kozlova P.S. not just, but there is ... Live younger daughter (80 years old), there are grandchildren and already the greatst ... I am the eldest granddaughter .. my grandmother (Kozlova Valentina Andreevna) hoped to learn about the fate of her husband, but on all our numerous requests the answer was one - I was missing in 1941 near Moscow ... Currently confirmed the foundation of the colonel from the first days of captivity in the Wehrmacht camps (there were three strokes and one offlag), did not cooperate with the Germans (there were no marks in the military warrant), I did not teach an interlocks ! .. And the Ministry of Defense and the Red Cross of Germany confirm that he was transferred to the Gestapo and shot along with the generals Shepet and Presnyakov ... We (grandchildren and great-grandchildren) from children's years knew that our grandfather Peter was a hero and always proud that we were his descendants ...

After examining all possible affordable materials In this case, approve with full responsibility: not guilty. Colonel, commander of the 17th Rifle Division, Kozlov Peter Sergeevich - the victim of the Nazi regime, worthy of good name and bright memory, as an honest officer of the Soviet Army, fully fulfilled his duty to his homeland.

Candidate historical sciences, Makarova E.A.

Galina Vladimirovna, thank you very much for your comment. The fate and life path of P. S. Kozlov are interesting to everyone who wants to figure out our general historical past.

Also on the topic Biographical article

This year will be 76 years old from the day the counteroffensiveness of the Soviet troops near Moscow. Over the years, none of the officials and historians disgusts to inform him to relatives to Colonel Rkkka Kozlova Peter Sergeevich about his fate. Kozlov P.S. Before the war with Germany had a combat experience: Among the first volunteers fought in Spain, he was awarded the Order of the Red Banior Balloons with Belofinnam, participated in the accession of Bessarabia in 1940.

Kozlov P.S. From the largest peasant family, before the war graduated from the team faculty of the Air Force Academy in Monino. On July 2, an ID of the commander of the 17th division of the national militia of the Moskvoretsky district was appointed.

In the first days of October 1941, Division under the command of Kozlov P.S. It was distinguished in the battles under Savior Demensky - spoke out against the many times superior to the forces of the Nazis, with honor came out of the environment, while maintaining the battle banner. In October of the same year, the division was replenished with fresh forces and, without having time to form and rally, was again sent to battle.

In the threat of the surroundings, the division without a written order, the General Staff retreated and secured on the shore of the Nara, where she kept until the counteroffensiveness near Moscow.

Here are the memories of the fighter of Division Rodionova S.A. On the actions of Colonel Kozlova P.S. : "From our point of view, the fighters-troops, he saved the division on October 21 - on the canopy of the shore, they would have surrounded by their armored personnel carriers and raised as kittens, and we were where we had to hide on the" leftigras "and we kept these frontiers."

October 21 for the division diversion Colonel Kozlov P.S. He was arrested, as the main military prosecutor's office reported, and on October 22 ran out of arrest.

On May 10 of this year, I received a copy of the map of the prisoners of war colonel Kozlova P.S. From the German archive.

In the map of the prisoner of Kozlov P.S. The date of captivity by the Germans - October 20, 1941 is indicated. It is known from the card that Kozlov P.S. It was located in the Strakhah and the offbles of the Wehrmacht, and on December 18, 1942 he was transferred to the Gestapo. "Transmitted Gestapo" - sent to death.

July 29, 1943 Kozlov P.S. For an unknown reason, the decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR is devoid of the Order of the Red Banner.

After the war, the Colonel's family received a pension. His wife is before last days He wrote to all sorts of organizations, trying to learn about the fate of her husband. The answer for her was alone - disappeared.

Close relatives of the colonel were not notified of the testimony of the former Red Army teams who switched to the side of the enemy that Kozlov P.S., allegedly taught in German intelligence officers from January 1942.

Announces a description of the appearance of a person whom Abverstovtsy are called Kozlov P.S. - It differs from the appearance of the real colonel.

Now, when a Card's warrant map was found, I can say for sure - either in the abser someone issued myself for Kozlov P.S., or someone has been profitable to approve Colonel Kozlov PS.

According to the answers of the official bodies, Kozlov P.S. Not recognized as a military or state criminal, a criminal case has never started at him.

Please understand the confused case of Colonel Kozlova Peter Sergeevich, return the state award and conduct a thorough investigation into the circumstances of his captivity.

It will take 3 months and again the flowers feat of the Red Armenians will be naked under the command of Seleznev.
Studies of the actions of our troops under the burden in the 1941st, conducted by Land Vishnyakov in the last century and historic-Liapan Stepanov, now continue the work of the Museum of World Museum on Poklonnaya Green G. G., it is cited by http://vk.com/id194144662.

Once again about Colonel P.S. KozlovWebsite "Vestnik Chekhovsky" - independent Internet publication of the city of Chekhov and Chekhovsky district, published on his page by article E. Avsarova "Waiting for Colonel Kozlov" (http://www.muzejpamyati.narod.ru/exibition/t_114.htm) offering To honor the memory of the first commander of the 17th rifle division of Colonel Peter Sergeevich Kozlov, who was captured by the Germans after escaping from the execution of the order of G.K. Zhukov, as an intelligence officer. At the same time, the author bases his conclusions by references to the articles of the untimely departed historian V.V.Stpanov, who were repeatedly printed in the newspaper "Chekhov Bulletin" (see "Chekhov Bulletin" dated 19.06.07, 07/17/07 02/10/09, 17.02.09, 09.05.09. Articles V.V. Stepanova also published on the site http://www.muzejpamyati.narod.ru/st/vvst.htm). And V.V. himself Stepanov expressed it only as an assumption that he did not find the evidence.

The author of the Internet articles E. Avsharov confidently writes that "... The story with the shooting of Colonel Kozlov, was a drainage associated with the operation of" deep introduction ", which was carried out by the special department of the 43rd army ..." At the same time, he rightly notes: "... in opinion V.V. Stepanova, finally put the point in its history, you can only on the basis of documents stored in the archives of institutions and organizations that sent colonel of goats for the front line .... "
But, nevertheless, not yet in the hands of these documents, E. Avsharov already takes over the courage at the end of the article asking readers to honor the memory of the Colonel P.S. Kozlova, as a scout illegal.
It is impossible to agree with this. Documents "institutions and organizations that sent Colonel Kozlov for the front line ..." We have not yet. Therefore, let's try to use those documents that are already declassified and accessible to researchers. These are the documents of the Tsamam of the Russian Federation, located in the funds of the Western Front, 43, 33 armies, parts of these armies, incl. The 17th Rifle Division, as well as the Foundation for Trophy Documents TsAMO and German documents of the Bundesarhiva - 4 Army and 57 Mechkorpus for the period 1941.

E. Avsharov calls the story of the failed execution of Colonel Kozlov "Dark History under strange circumstances".
The story is not so dark, as I would like to believe many. Arrested and sent to the execution of Colonel Peter Sergeevich Kozlov was, indeed, by order of G.K. Zhukova, but not for the fact that he was not there, where he was prescribed, as E. Avshar assumes, and for the fact that he left 20.10.41 without a fight, the reinforced line of defense on the river. Proven, who in August 1941, was intended as a border of defense, an equal to Ilyinsky border of the Mozhaisk Defense line of the Moscow Distribution Zone. The fact of leaving the turn of the river. Protvance without pressure of Germans are indisputable, this is confirmed by our and German documents of any level.

The construction scheme of the defensive borders of the Mozhaisk Defense line, approved by 23.8.41. The red line of the rear line passes through the factor of the plant, whose defense C14 to 20.10.41 held the 17th Infantry Division under the command of P.S. Kozlova.
The Nursing List of Defense is indicated only from Naro-Fominsk to Warsaw Highway. The southeast of the Warsaw Highway (on the burdow-Serpukhov) line of defense in August 1941 was not yet planned, but it was she who became an overwhelming line for the German army. The battles in this area were walking within 2 months from the 20th of October 1941, from here from 25.12.41 the fascists were expelled irrevocably. It is symbolic that the expulsion of the Army of Napoleon began and the expulsion of Napoleon's army in 1812 during the battle on the river. Ink, subsequently named by historians by the Tarutinsky battle.
The scheme is taken from the site http://www.wwii-photos-maps.com/defenseofmoscow/slides/moscow-defense--23-8-41-1.html
Germans in the reconnaissance of the GA Center for 18.10.41 expected after taking Ilyinsky turn Mozhaisk line of defense of strong resistance of parts of the Red Army at the turn of the river. Proven and Nara: "The opponent's right flank of the 4th Army is east, leading stubborn arker fights. It should be relying to the fact that behind the eye and the opponent will again take a combat order for defense .... You should expect further resistance using various water obstacles passing across the direction of the offensive ... "
But subsequently, the Germans were surprised that such resistance did not happen on the South from the Warsaw highway - it was at that very plot that the Colonel P.S. Kozlov was to defend. At the same time, in the reconnaissance of the GA Center for 21.10.41, fierce resistance was noted on the northern plot, where the battles conducted 9 and 17 tank brigades, 152 motor-stroke brigade, 201 VDB, art. Picks and others. Parts 43 of the army emerging from the environment. Moreover, all these parts conducted fierce battles on the main thing, and not on the secondary, like 17 SD, the site, being under the same conditions.
"South of the highway before 12 AK and the left flank 13 AK, a weak enemy moves to the northeast .. as a result of the onset of our troops through r. Protection under n. H. Highlightened the enemy retreated to the north.
12 AK: meeting the weak resistance, parts of the housing under H. P. Panznutovka and Dogo moved forward.
North Highway Medno- Moscow There are major enemy forces who have received reinforcements (infantry and artillery).
57 AK: 19 TD meets the fierce resistance of the enemy on both sides of the Highway Medno- Moscow to the west of R. Nara. "

The events preceding the arrest and "execution" of Colonel Kozlov (according to the Documents of the TsAMO RF).

On October 3-4, within the framework of the Typhoon Operation, the 33 Army (hereinafter referred to as) 33 of the Army (hereinafter referred to as 17, the army was sent to the coming parties of the German army, which had the goal of the environment and take Moscow. Fighters-militia had to be not easy. Having fierce resistance within 2-3 days, they were able to slow down the promotion of German troops. Division loss killed, injured and missing amounted to about 8 thousand people. These battles are described in detail in the book of V.V. Klimanov "He defended Moscow." If you carefully consider the perfectly performed illustrations for this book in the dynamics, it can be seen as after 2 days of fierce fighting, the Germans, surrounding the division, left it only one way out - to Vyazma, where the division and moved several days. There, the division would also divide the fate of other militia divisions, hitting the Vyazemsky boiler if one of the officers of the division (and it was not PS Kozlov. The name of this officer is indicated in the book V. Klimanova, which I do not have at hand now) In the area of \u200b\u200bSpas-Deménska did not convince the others that it is necessary to break through the line of the environment, and not to go without resistance to Vyazma. That is what rescued the remains of the division. And where it was ps Kozlov and what did at this time - in the memoirs of veterans and the available documents it is not specified in detail. Once, even before leaving the environment, he spoke in front of the fighters of the division, for some reason I first introduced him as a division commander (as they did not know it from July to October - it is not clear). Someone later saw him in the forest with a small group during the departure period from 4 to 10 October, and there are no other information about it during the exit period.
From October 10, 17 SD began its formation for the second time. She was replenished with a personal composition of the army of scattered parts of the 33 army. The commander of the division was appointed head of the Automatic Sports Arms Department 33 Army Colonel Mikhail Pavlovich Safir. 33 The army during this period of hostilities did not led. PS itself Kozlov appeared in the division only 14.10.41 and by decision of the Military Council of the 33 Army again accepted the command of the division from M.P. Safira. Documents that he was in a special department all 4 days, according to E. Avsharov, I personally did not meet anywhere - only assumptions. If they have someone from researchers - I would like to get acquainted with them. Only a report written during this period by PS himself is known. Kozlov about the combat actions of 17 diabetes during battles and out of the environment. But for writing this report enough hours, and not days. On the other hand, being in the German rear of 4 days, it was possible to have a lot. There are cases when the Germans recruited agents in a few hours ... the further behavior of the Colonel P.S. Kozlov, confirmed by many documents of 43 army and the German 57 mechorcouss and the GA Center, unfortunately, inclines to this version.

Fights at the Warsaw direction were conducted from 6.10.41 parts of the Maudo-Solvetsky combat site of the Ministry of Health and Parts, urgently directed from the rate of bet, from October 12 they were all part of the 43 Army, who adopted this combat site. The part 43 and 33 armies from the environment in the area of \u200b\u200bthe Warsaw Highway randomly merged, which prevented a single leadership of combat actions in the area with. Detchino and cities Maloyaroslavets and Borovsk.
From October 18, 1941 by order of the commander of the Western Front G.K. Zhukov was redistributed by the defense stripes 33 and 43 armies on the actual position of the parts. Because 17 SD was in the action strip of 43 army, it was included in the latter. On the eve of the evening P.S. Kozlov was noticeable about it, as he wrote in his report the commander of 43 army, putting a personal signature. In turn, from 43 to 33, the army passed 110 and 113 rifle divisions, leading battles in the city of Borovsk. From Borovsk, who left the 33 army in the strip, in the area of \u200b\u200bthe Rights Plant in the morning 18.10.41 urgently, right from the battle, 17-tank brigade 43 of the army was displayed (not to be confused with 17 rifle divisions, these are different parts!). This tank brigade had to cross Warsaw highway in the Belousovo area, because Highway from 10.30 18.10.41 has already been occupied by German troops - the 19th tank division of the Germans unexpectedly broke through. In the area of \u200b\u200bthe Rights Plant - Tarutino and heavy battles were able to break through the headquarters and company management of the brigade, but by that time the 17 rifle division was no longer there. The remaining parts of the 17 tank brigade until October 21-26 made their way with the battles of the north of Warsaw highway to the river. Nara.
On the night of 18.10.41 Commander of 43 Army K.D. Golubev received a telegram of a special importance from the General Staff containing an order to raise 17 SD alarm and ensure defense r. Protvan:
"Telegram OB (special importance)
In hand immediately commander 43 Golubev. 18.10.41 0.13.

Tanks and infant patches are moving away from weekly. The front commander ordered to raise the 17 Rifle Division on the alarm and take the ruffles of defense by p. Protection lawsuit.

Organize PTOs on the possible ways of movement of the enemy tanks and prevent the enemy per p. Protvan. Performance to convey.

At 16.37, another order was received from the General Staff: "... Complert ordered: to cover firmly this direction and in no case to prevent the opponent's movement further further. Protvan.
At the turn of r. Protvan to put newly emerging 17 dias from the S. Rogue plant, raising it by alarm. Immediately speed up the nomination on your left flank on this direction 17 of the tank brigade, according to the previously given Complete of the order ... "
In pursuance of these orders, the commandar of Golubev, in turn, ordered the commander of the 17 rifle division Kozlov to move to defense r. Protvan.
18-19.10.41 The 17th SD in the Nest's plant was visited by officers from the headquarters of 43 Army Colonels Fursing and Balant. Both, independently of each other, noted inaction or weak actions of 17 SD. (here and further- underscounted by mine - G.G.). Moreover, 19.10.41 P.S. Kozlov said that he considers himself in submission not 43, and 33 armies, and therefore orders of the commander of the 43 army to it, allegedly, do not belong. He did not know, or forgot that these orders had the level of the General Staff and the front commander, to which both these armies believed, therefore it was useless to dissolve.

When departing from the landing plant, 17 CD Colonel P.S. Kozlov, by order of the General Staff, was to blow up bridges through the Protvoy to the upcoming German troops. And their sappers of the division blew up right before the avant-garde of our 312 rifle divisions overlooking the fierce battles from the Disthy district, at the moment when the Germans were not yet. As a result, 312 SD forced r. Proves the provider, and in those days the air temperature fell below zero degrees, especially at night. The width of the river reached 40-60 m. Many fighters 312 SD were very cold. I had to leave on the right bank all artillery and wheel machines 312 sd, because It was not possible to forward them. Because of this Colonel A.F. Naumova - an experienced commander of this very combat-ready division of 43 army - almost did not give under the Tribunal, although he came out of the environment on the orders and should not have been, unlike P.S. Kozlov, to defend the line R. Protvan. Also, 517 artpol remained completely without match.

The fact of leaving the turn of the river. The charts without the pressure of the Germans are indisputable, this is confirmed by our and German documents of any level, regardless of the degree of confidence in the memorandum of check-in officers from the headquarters of the army - Fursin and Balansev, which in different sources are now trying to call petty and slanderous. Colonel Fursing was not an outsider - at the time of joining the command P.S. Kozlova 14.10.41 Most fighters newly formed from 10.10.41 17 (2nd formations) constituted fighters not 17 diabetes (1st formation) (there were less than 600 people), and the fighters 211 of the rifle division, whose commander to 3 -4 October was Fursing himself (there were about 1400 people.).

In the book of orders of 17 SD for 18.10.41 (on the day of the delivery of Maloyaroslavets!) Only personnel orders were found, in particular the appointment of employees of the Division Club and Post Station, but combat orders for the work of defense or an urgent replenishment of flammable and ammunition For the upcoming fights - there is not one. The request from Colonel Kozlov to the headquarters 43 of the army about the replenishment of 17 SD flammable, ammunition and food was written in the 17 SD operating station only 19.10.41, when the Germans came closely. What did he hoped for and what did he count on 15-18.10.41?
It was probably engaged in more important things for himself - for example, she went to his wife in Serpukhov, located 1.5 hours a ride on a straight road from the Rights Plant. During the meeting, he strongly advised his wife with children to urgently evacuate from Serpukhov in the rear, i.e. Already then he was confident in the delivery of this defensive turn. But neither Serpukhov, nor the Nursing List of Defense are handed over to the Germans. When all the cowards, the remaining fighters and commanders of the same divisions are in the ranks, taking over the gravity of the battle of the battle, stopped the enemy on this turn. But it happened in a week after the events described.
Information about visiting PS Kozlov's wife in Serpukhov were repeatedly published in various sources from the words of veterans of the 17th SD, to which the wife ps appealed Kozlova Valentina Andreevna Kozlova. Chekhovsky researcher A.S. Vishnyakov led the quotation from the letter of his wife P.S. Kozlov: "In the terrible 1941, in October, with two young children, I left Serpukhov on a barge on the Oka in the Saratov region. The last words of it were for goodbye: "You will live among the Soviet people, you will help you." The exact date of visiting PS Kozlov's wife is unknown, V.V. Stepanov suggested that it could only be after escape. But, in my opinion, Most likely it could be from October 14 to October 18, when he was in a landing plant connected by a good road with the city of Serpukhov, and had at his disposal vehicles. From the turn of r. Nara to Serpukhova could be reached by forests or on the road through Podolsk , passing all the cordons that for the running out of the shooting problematic. From the moment of arrest, until the moment of captivity, by the Germans from 22 to October 24, in conditions of a strong dissolve, he could hardly get to Serpukhov, and also move around the city, openly meeting his wife and his wife and Children. Yes, and the wife in this case would know that he was in the runs and during and after the war did not seek information about him in managing the personnel of the Red Army and in the veterans of the Division.

At 1.00 20.10.41 parts 17 SD on the orders of his commander P.S. Kozlova left the factor.
By 15.00 20.10.41, they reached Tarutino (i.e., they retreated without a fight from the river. Nara, leaving without a fight a comfortable line of defense and more than 25 km of territory). Passed day. Only then to 13. 00 21.10.41, the Germans started and began. But in Tarutino, 17 SD defense did not occupy.
"... Tarutino firedly, there are tanks, infantry 17 and 53 rifle divisions run from the first shots. Tarutino burns. The radio is stuck in the mud. The enemy can be expected soon to the highway.
Balances 13.25. 21.10.41 "

In the German "fighting diary" 57 mechorts of 21.10.41 noted:
"The neighbor on the right - 12 AK overcame the weak resistance of the enemy and captured the supports of the bridge through a tarutino ...". "
On October 21, fierce battles 43 of the Army with 57 German mechanific cameras were in the main direction - on the Warsaw highway in the area of \u200b\u200bthe village of Sparrow by artillery forces of 43 armies, 9 TBR and 152 ICCM. On the secondary direction on the old Kaluga road forces 17 CDs against 12 mechortscouss, the offensive was planned from Tarutino back to the landing plant, but it was suspended until the situation was found out in the sparrow by the head of the head of the headquarters of the Army of Bogolyubov. It was ordered "... 17 SD to 19.00 21.10.41 to focus on the Bogorodskaya district, christmas, south of saving. Cancel yourself and be prepared for the counterdard on the sparrows. Continuously conduct combat intelligence on the sparrows, dog. In the area of \u200b\u200bconcentration to be in constant combat readiness. The fight in any conditions and without the order of the Military Council of the Army, the departure is prohibited. Guilty in unauthorized waste will be shot. About the performance convey.

Nashtarm 43 Colonel Bogolyubov 21.10.41 15.15 "
It is unknown at what exactly this order was obtained in 17 diabetes, but it is clear that Colonel Kozlov was notified in advance of the degree of responsibility for the departure from the designated positions.

Commander of the South Group of 43 Army, Lieutenant Akimov, on the same day, 21.10.41 reported, indicating the lack of actions to manage the 17 rifle division by its command:
"Commander of 43 Army Major Major Golubev.
Combat report №1 Korsakovo 21.10.41 17.30

1. The opponent groups - the company, the battalion, took from the direction of the Podolsk-Maloyaroslavets of Orekhovo, Borisovo, Makarovo; And on the way to the southwest he captured Tarutino with tanks to the infantry shelf with mortars, artillery.
2. 17 Rifle division Returning essentially without pressure of the enemy from the area of \u200b\u200bthe Railway Plant blew up the bridge and made it difficult to waste 312 of the Rifle Division. The division itself moved into disarray, not managed by the Division Command.
3. 312 The Rifle division with parts of the amplification went to the Korsakovo area, leaving almost all the match in the enemy. River factory from the rank r. Protvan left without an enemy's onslaught. The division commander motivates this ambiguity of the situation and (by being) the shooting on the right and left.
4. 53 Rifle division in the composition of 2 incomplete battalions at 15.30 on the approach to Tarutino. Essentially, anyone is not manageable and the army order is not fulfilled. The headquarters of the division - to the crosses, the commander of the division with the commissioner was in the area of \u200b\u200bTarutino, but I can not find.
5. 17 The Rifle Division, which was in Tarutino, did not occupy the defense, the order of the offensive plant did not fulfill. As a result, the opponent's approach to Tarutino was unexpected and, with the opening of fire from the enemy from machine guns, mortars and tanks, all those who were in Tarutino ran in a panic. It is difficult to retain with the use of weapons.
My members of the Military Council have taken the following measures:
1) All runners are delayed, starting from the crosses and are formed in the companies sent to Tarutino.
2) I ordered 312 SD to master Orekhovo, Borisovo. Machine-gun battalion (8 machine guns) - Makarovo
3) 17 Rifle Division seize ... Tarutino, Agafianino, Dubrovka

Commander Group Member of the Military. Council
Major General Akimov Brigadd Commissioner Seryukov "

Thus, in the documents of 43, the army did not find a single document, objectively testifying about the adequate actions of the commander of 17 PS Colonel P.S. Kozlov in the period of leaving the territory from r. Protva to r. Nara, from 18 to October 21. On the contrary, absolutely all the highest officers of the 43 armies of Fursing, the Balantians and the commander of the Southern Group of 43 Army - Akimov (the former commander of 43 army until October 16, and not filmed officially with this post, even after the appointment of K.D. Golubev) pointed to bad Command of the division and non-fulfillment of orders.
Position ps Kozlov was aggravated by the fact that in the Uzko-Zavodsky district in the village of Strelkovka born himself G.K. Zhukov. There, right up to the occupation, his mother and sister lived with his family. At the last moment they were still exported from the shootings to Moscow. Perhaps it was from his relatives that he learned in detail about the situation in the area of \u200b\u200bthe Hospital Plant and was convinced of the inaction of the military who were here. Nowadays, this district center was renamed and now in honor of Marshal G.K. Zhukov is called G. Zhukov. Fellow villagers even after the victory could reproach G.K. Zhukova is that they saw with their own eyes like that in October 1941, being the commander of the front, did not defend his small homeland at all. With this shame in front of the countrymen, he was obliged to defense the commander who occupied the defenses of 17 SD - Colonel P.S. Kozlova.

Bowl of patience at the commander of the Western Front of Kiev Zhukova was crowded. At dawn 22.10.41, an order was written about the execution of PS. Kozlova.
"Order Commander of the Western Front Commander of the 43rd Army of October 22, 1941 on the prohibition of waste and measures to prevent

Golubev
1) to move from the side occupied to 23.10 again I categorically prohibit.
2) At 17, the division immediately send Seleznev, the commander of the 17th SD immediately arrest and shoot a shock.
17 Division, 53 Division to make it return to 10.10.41 Tarutino in the morning so that it is inclusive to self-sacrifice.
3) You report on the small number of fighters in connections and large losses, look immediate in the rear, will find both fighters and weapons. ...
Zhukov Bulganin
Transmitted 4.45 22.10.41 "
And indeed, in Podolsk - more than 7 thousand fighters and commanders from 17 and 53 rifle divisions were detained on this day on this day, ... how would they come in handy on this day at the front!
On the execution of the commissioner 17 SD S.I. Yakovleva in the order of Zhukov speech does not go, but from this day the Battalion Commissioner of Kudry became Commissioner Division. Nevertheless, in the order of 43 army, the teamar Golubev informed all parts of the army as the commander, and the commissioner of the 17th SD was shot. From the accounting and listening card S.I. Yakovleva found out that he was with a great decline in office was translated into the Volkhov Front. He was lowered to the instructor of the division political waste, although before the exit of the environment in early October 1941 he held the position of a member of the Military Council of 43 of the Army, then until 21.10.41 commissioner of 17 SD. Despite this, and maybe thanks to this, S.I. Yakovlev stayed alive and lived to victory. In the position of commander 17 SD instead of P.S. Kozlov temporarily entered the head of the Operation of 43 Army Combrigs Lubarsky, who reported on failed hostilities and the next day:
"22.10.41 from 12.00 by order of Lieutenant General Akimov 17 The Rifle division fell to master Tarutino. 1312 SPIs of up to 350 fighters led the attack on the eastern outskirts of Tarutino-Bolshak south of Tarutino.
At about 15.30 22.10.41, the enemy led the offensive from Tarutino, along the Bolshak on Karsakovo to the shelf and the rod of tanks with the support of mortars, artillery and aviation. Coming on Tarutino along the Bolshak division 53 of the SD and 17 TBR were crumpled by the enemy, and the coming parts of the 17th SD bypassing Tarutino fell under the flank fire and hit the rifle company with 3 tanks on Agafianino.

Commander 17 SD Military 12 SD
Combrigs Lubar Bat. Commissioner A. Kudry

By a strange coincidence, the commander of the 53 rifle division, with whom P.S. Kozlov left the landing plant in Tarutino, was killed on this day - 10/22.41 U village. Korsakovo (although he was not written anything about his execution in the order of G. Zhukov). Perhaps this happened during the airline and the offensive of the Germans from 15.30.
At night of the same day, the Commander-General General Lieutenant Akimov reported:
Combat report D. Chernisha 24.00 22.10.41
The enemy with tanks with the support of aviation up to 40 aircraft at 16.30 moved to the offensive and seized Karsakovo.
Our parts 53 SD, 17 SD and 312 diabetes, which lazed the big losses killed and wounded, could not stand the onslaught and ran in panic. All management of distribution and parts commanders was lost. It was aggravated by this darkness.
... Divisions commanders do not know where their troops. Messenger to find such and take defense according to the order. With the 17 SD connection I do not have.
Commander 53 SD Colonel Krasnoretsky killed.
Output.
1. The remains of the specified parts are demoralized and it is impossible to count on a strong defense.
2. In this regard, a threat is created for the army even the front when the enemy is leaving for Podolsk Highway. Please pull out the fresh part, reinforced with artillery in the direction of the der. Ink, Tarutino in order to restore the position. Actions need to be supported by strong aviation

Lieutenant General Akimov 24.00 22.10.41. "

On October 24, the Lubarsky Combrigs passed the command of the successor, an already permanent commander, Major General Seleznev, who had previously occupied the position of the head of the rear of the headquarters of the 43 armies. Under his command, combat sites were identified and occupied by the striking border, which were defensed in our time, which 17 SD (2nd formation) defended until December 25, 1941.

It was from October 22-24, when the threat to the commission of Moscow was more than ever, a wave of orders were held on the armies of the Western Front, who did not fulfill their tasks on the defense of the Moskovsky defense. Such orders were in 43, and in 5, and in 33 army. But it would be wrong to believe that it was the initiative only G.K. Zhukov. The NGO and the main political department of the Red Army under the guidance of the infamous L.Z. Mehlisa, then down the subordination from the military councils of fronts and armies to political waste parts. So, in the documents of the boarding board Zap. The front was discovered by the original order, signed by the head of the western front of the Western Front D. Lestov:
"Commanders and commissioners of Division 33 Army 23.10.41.

Orders NPO №270 and Military Council Zap. Front №0345 requires that deserters, cowards and panickers throwing a battlefield that are leaving without permission from occupied positions that throw weapons and techniques have been shot in place. Many commanders, commissars chiefs of parts of the 33 army do not. Do not straighten with the guilty.
The commanders themselves are not responsible for non-fulfillment of combat orders and unauthorized leaving positions.
Apparently the commanders and commissioners do not give themselves a report that they fight with fascist monsters on the approaches to Moscow, did not understand all the importance of the direction and often they are sitting back, inactive. Only this can explain the shameful flight from the battlefield of parts 110 and 113 of the SD.
Order:
Decisively carry out orders NPO No. 270 and the boardwalk of Front No. 0345, mercilessly straighten with deserters, shorts, panickers in place.
Leaving positions without the permission of the Senior Chief - there is a betrayal and treason. To the guilty of departure without permission from occupied positions to apply the highest measure of punishment. Let everyone commander, the head, fighter, that in the current situation in the struggle for their homeland, for Moscow is better than the death of a brave, than despicable cowardice and panic.
On the measures taken immediately to convey to the military council of the front and army.
Commanders and commissioners 110 and 113 of the SD no later than 10.00 24.10.41 by any means to convey to the Military Council of the Front on the reasons for the departures of parts with combat positions, indicate specific guilty and what measures taken to them in the spirit of the above orders were taken.

Member of the West Council of the Western Front
Division Commissioner P \\ P D.Lesthev "

Working in the Tsamam of the Russian Federation since 2006, on the study of Moscow's defense at the Warsaw direction, I looked through the documents of the headquarters of the reserve, Western fronts, the Ministry of Health, the headquarters of 33 and 43 of the armies and the parts of the incoming. Once, on the back of one of the engineering documents of 43 army, unexpectedly met the handwritten attack of commander 43 of the Golubev army:

"General of the Army Zhukov 31.10.41 23.40
…five. I repeat about the criminal fact. Today it was in place that the former commander of the 17th rifle division of Kozlov was not shot before the rank, but ran. The circumstances of the case are: Having received your order to "arrest and shoot the commander of 17 died in front of the system," I instructed it to fulfill the member of the Seroyukov Military Council and Lieutenant General Akimov to the Division. For incomprehensible reasons, they did not and sent the division commander to me. I, under the convoy, organized by the head of a special department sent back to a categorical indication that the order command must be completed. I was reported that he was shot, and today I learned that I was not shot, but ran from the convoy.
I appoint a consequence

Golubev 31.10.41 23.40 »
It should be noted that Seryukov was injured on the day "execution" P.S. Kozlova 10/22/31 and 23.10.41 He was replaced by a new member of the Military Council of 43 Army-Kovalkov. And in the daytime of 23.10.41, he was seriously injured and General-Pilatenant S.D. Akimov - a broken shell took his foot and he was evacuated to the rear, having passed the command of the SAD 312 SD to Colonel A.F. Naumov. But the former commander of 43 armies S.D. Akimov Fatally was not lucky: a plane in which he flew in a few days with a group of specialists of the aircraft factory 29.10.41 crashed in the Penza region. All died.
Thus, 31.10.41 at the time of writing this report by the commander of Golubev, no one had no one from the participants and was not asking for anyone, from whom Golubev learned about Kozlov's escape remains unknown ...

According to the reconnaissance of the GA Center

Soon, at the end of 2006, I met the historic and journalist V.V. Stepanov, who worked at the time of the deputy. head The "Book of Memory" department in the Central Museum of the Great Patriotic War on Poklonnaya Mount. Having learned that he studied the story of the 17th Rifle Division for a long time, met with veterans of this division, I immediately asked if the colonel was caught? He was very surprised, because More than heard that P.S. Kozlov managed to escape and believed that he was shot with Yakovlev's Division Commissioner.
We had a lot of general topics for discussion, and after a while he invited me to work with him in the museum. It passed a few more months. Studying the documents of the Trophy Foundation TsAMO, in the evening reporting of the 190.41 Army in the evening report for 24.10.41, I accidentally found a short phrase at the end of the report: "The commander of the 17th Rifle Division is taken.". There was no doubt - in 17 SD on October 24 there were no other commanders, except P.S. Kozlov, who could be captured: both Lyubarsky, and Seleznev continued to continue to serve in 43 armies and signed documents.
At this time V.V. Stepanov has already completed the article "Forsets of the Fate of Colonel Kozlov", which was already going to be attributed to the editorial office of the Military Historical Archive magazine.
I gave the found German reconnaissance and he quickly managed to make editors in an article that immediately changed its focus. Previously, the article "Brave and experienced" commander of the division of the national militia P.S. Kozlov seemed to be an innocent victim of "cruel and unfair" G.K. Zhukova, but after the information of the Germans about the capture of his captivity, doubts appeared, and so if the beetles were wrong?
Respecting veterans 17 SD, V.V. Stepanov tried to find at least some possible justification for the act of their commander of the division P.S. Kozlova. He suggested that he may have been specially abandoned to the Germans. Who is abandoned? Researcher RKKKA? Special Army or Front Department? Unfortunately, in March 2012, V.V. Stepanov died and not finding an answer ... Let the Earth be in a fortune of this not indifferent active person! But the possible assumption cannot be unequivocally accepted as valid, the evidence is needed!

.... And in the trophy fund I found another document of the headquarters of the German 9 Army's headquarters (it is likely that the number of the army was unintelligible in the original document, most likely it was a document of the 4th Army - approx. G.G.) ha "Center "For November 28, 1941, a month after the captivity of P.S. Kozlova. This document shows the information known to German Deposit 9 (4th) army about all parts of the Red Army, which is before its front. The list is very large, but no part of such detailed and accurate information as about the 17th rifle division. The information of the Germans provided the one who knew about it and the first, and the second formation with an accurate indication of the number, the name of the newly included parts and the number of weapons for each soldier. It was unlikely to know the ordinary fighter or a junior commander. Judging by the fact that the reason for the arrest of the commander of Kozlov division commander was accurately indicated in this intersection, these information was given to Kozlov himself. He informed the latest information known to him:
"Corrections and additions to the list of compounds of the Red Army, which in full, or part of the forces were revealed before the front of the 9th Army in the period from 22.6.41
... 17 Folk Militia Division.
Formed in Moskvoretsky district of Moscow. Commander-Colonel Kozlov, arrested on 24.10 41 commander of 43 army because of the unauthorized leaving of the division of positions on the prote, sentenced to death. The current commander-brigadd general Lubarsky. Until 18.10.41, the division was subordinate to 33 army, and from 18.10.41- 43 of the army. There are no tanks in the division. 15.7.41 Division was in Moscow, 30.7.41 - in Spas-Demensk, 29.8.41 - in Lubun and 1.9. in Vyazma. 4.10.41 During the fighting for Vyazma, 50% of personnel lost. The battle spirit of the division is low, replenishment received 10.10.41 in the Ultrasonic factory in the Ugra / Prove? - G.G. / From the remains of the 221th and 8th rifle divisions, as well as one marching company.
The division included:
49 SP \u003d 1312 SP, personnel of 1600 people.
50 SP \u003d 1314 SP, personal composition of 1800 people.
51 SP \u003d 1316 SP; personnel 700 people.
868 artpolk
In each rifle shelf of 60 heavy machine guns, 180 light machine guns, 6 mortars 107 mm, 4 guns 76 mm, 4 guns 37-mm, semi-automatic rifles, each soldier on one manual grenade.
Further divisions were granted:
878 artpolk,
876 Anti-Tank Division,
704 Anti-aircraft arthdivizion ... "
Pointing to the commander of the Lubarsky Combridge Division, P.S. Kozlov actually put his signature under testimony. After all, about the appointment of Seleznev commander of the division on October 24, he could not know because That day was already in Germans. Of this document at V.V. Stepanova at the time of writing the article was not, so he still hoped to find an excuse to run P.S. Kozlova from under the execution.
The absence of more recent intelligence on the 17th SD in Germans suggests that no one has been captured by the 15 rifle division for a period of more than a month from 24.10. 41 to 28.11.41 did not say anything significant, even the changes that occurred in the number and appointments of the command. And 5 days before the preparation of this document from the site of basing, it was 17 SD - from the village of Mukobnino were abandoned in the German rear of 4 partisan groups for the famous factor of the factory operation, during which 4 partisans were captured, including a posthumously hero Of the Soviet Union, the former Chairman of the Factory District Executive Committee Mikhail Guryanov. The new information about the 17th SD after the Labor Operation in the Germans was also not added.

For comparison, we give information from the same document about the 17 tank brigade, which was located at 24.10.41 there, at the Nare of 43 Army: "... 17 Tank Brigade.
Initially, the 16th Army was obeyed, then 43 armies were formed at the end of September in the beggar. The brigade consists of 5 battalions, in each battalion of 30 tanks (10 T-34 and 20 T-40). The brigade also has 3 rifle companies. "
Of all these miser information, it is only true that the brigade was subordinate to 43 armies (and only from 12.10.41 to 25.11.41) that there are 3 rifle companies in a tank battalion of 30 tanks and in the brigade. But in fact, in the 16th Army, 17 TBR came only from 1.12.41, i.e. Already after writing this German document. The place of formation of 17 TBR was in Vladimir, and not in the beggar, where the brigade was not formed, but the battles led 10-11.10.41 (several tanks with a written number of the brigade were shot down and left there. The battalions in the brigade were not 5, and 3 are two tank and one motorized rifle. The number of tanks in the tank battalion is fairly indicated, but this could be recognized from the standard states of any tank brigade of that period. Such an incorrect and inaccurate information suggests that from 388 fighters and commanders of 17 TBR, who have incurred missing over the entire period of October 1941, there was not a single one who would give enemies any important information! There were no traitors in the brigade! And in the 17th rifle division, most likely there was also no, at least in November 1941, except for one ...
After publishing a "fate of the fate of Colonel Kozlov" in the magazine "Military Historical Archive" No. 12 for 2007, Valery Vasilyevich Stepanov studied the documents concerning P.S. Kozlov in the archive of the FSB, without the right to make accurate extracts. He told that he saw a note with his own eyes, secretly podded by Kozlov under Stalingrad (or someone instead of him with a similar handwriting, and who knew his story until November 1941) that he was repent of his act, perfect in October 1941 . Could you write a scout - illegal? Never. In the same documents there were information that Kozlov, who had a teacher or head of the Assochem's intelligence officers, the name of the Bulls, was a very drinking person. Also, it does not look like a scout, which should not pay attention and should be extremely careful.
At one time (approximately in 2005) at the request of the Council of Veterans 17 SD and the Director of the Museum of Museum of Moscow, A.S. Lukichva, who did not have enough reliable documents, Colonel P.S. Kozlov was rehabilitated. But, after the publication of the above, V.V. Stepanova and subsequent verification of the services of the FSB rehabilitation from it was removed. Be actually P.S. Kozlov intelligence-illegal, hardly the FSB signed rehabilitation.

"Based on the information that we have today, it suggests that the whole story with the execution of Colonel Kozlov was a drainage associated with the operation of" deep introduction ", which was carried out by a special department of the 43rd army." Writes in his article e . Avsharov.
Regarding the execution of the Commissioner 17 SD S.I. Yakovlev, as it turned out, was indeed the dramatization. But which information is confirmed by the assumption of "deep introduction" in the den of the opponent P.S. Kozlov, until it is not clear, I would like to see confirmation documents or evidence. Too much price was paid for such an "implementation" - passing the referee of the defense R. Protvan, leaving 25 km of territory from r. Protva to r. Nara without a fight and issuing detailed information about the arms of the soldiers of their own division. For conclusions, there must be documents of external or military intelligence of the high level, which we currently do not have.
Nowadays, reconnaissance documents are now declassified. Kozlov in the intelligence officer of Abver as a teacher or even the head of this school, it is unlikely that more important secrets will be able to reveal more important for our state. It is time to declassify these documents and introduce into circulation so as not to guess and not offend in a vainly honest officer, or not to praise and not perpetuate the traitor.
In the meantime, ask people through the media to honor the memory of Colonel P.S. Kozlov, as the scouts illegal even early.

Peter Sergeevich Kozo.in - Colonel, participant of the Finnish and Great Patriotic War, commander of the 17th rifle division of the second formation. He was arrested, sentenced to shooting for leaving the border of defense, ran out of arrest. Founded in German captivity. July 21, 1943 By order of the GUK NPO No. 0627 Kozlov P. S. excluded from the lists of the Red Army with the wording "disappeared". In 1943, he was shot at a concentration camp Flossenbürg.

Pre-war

Born in 1905 in the Klimovichsky district of the Belarusian SSR. In the Red Army since 1926. From the 1928th - Member of the WCP (b). The pilot participated in the Finnish War, received the Order of the Red Banner. He graduated from the Frunze Military Academy (1938), the Air Academy in Monino (1941). He was an instructor of parachute sports, fluently owned German.

The Great Patriotic War

On July 2, 1941, he headed the 17th Moscow Rowing Division of the People's Militia, aimed at the construction of the Mozhaisk Defense line, to the area of \u200b\u200bIlinsky. On September 19, 1941, Kozlov Division was transformed into recruitment with the preservation of the previous number. From October 3, 1941, the 17th division defends himself in the area of \u200b\u200bSavior Demensk, from the 5th - is surrounded. At the time of finding Kozlov, the actual leadership of the division took the Colonel MP Sunfir.

10/14/1941 Kozlov with the remains of the division goes to the Labor Plant and again takes the command of the division.

On October 17, in the area of \u200b\u200bthe city of Uzko, the 17th division as part of the 43 armies received the task of blowing bridges on the Proven River and organize anti-tank defense. However, defending the entrusted Rubeze (25-28 km) by the small parts of the division was unrealistic.

10/22/1941 For a deposit from the railway, the commander of the Western Front, Zhukov orders the commander of the 43rd Army to General Golubev:

"2. On the 17th SD immediately send Seleznev, the commander of 17 SD immediately arrest and shoot in front of»

However, as it turned out in our time, the goats were not shot, but ran out of arrest.

General Golubev reports this as follows: "General of the Army Zhukov. 31.10.41. 23.40. I repeat about the criminal fact. Today it was in place that the former commander of the 17th rifle division of Kozlov was not shot before the rank, but ran. The circumstances of the case are. Having received your order to arrest and shoot the commander of the 17 CD before the rank, I instructed it to fulfill the member of the Maryukov Military Council and Lieutenant General Akimov. For incomprehensible reasons, they did not and sent the division commander to me. I, under the convoy, organized by the head of the special department of the army, sent it back with a categorical indication that the commissionare order must be executed. I was reported that he was shot, and today I learned that I was not shot, but ran from the convoy. I appoint a consequence. Golubev. "
