Aliya Moldagulova: a feat in the name of the Motherland. Brief biography of the heroine

The history of the Great Patriotic War consists of millions of exploits committed by fearless Soviet people. For four years they forged around the Victory for four years, being on the front lines and in the rear. They did not feel pity for themselves when it was necessary to defend their country, ideals, and home. In the list containing the names of WWII heroes, there are also data on two girls from Kazakhstan - Manshuk Mametova and Alie Moldagulova.

Some facts from the life of Aliya Moldagulova

To fully understand how characteristic for her was the feat of Aliya Moldagulova, briefly it is necessary to mention her biography. The birthplace of the girl is the village of Bulak, located in the Khobdinsky district of the Aktobe region. It was here on July 15, 1925, a girl was born. When she was 8 years old, her mother died, and the father was left alone with two children in his arms. Those times were extremely hard, and he was forced to give his daughter to raise a grandmother. Thus, Alia was in the family of her uncle, where her childhood passed along with the same age as Sapura.

In 1935, the family of Moldagulovs moved to Moscow, and a little later, some time before the outbreak of the war, - to St. Petersburg. In connection with family circumstances, the uncle arranges the girl in the city children's home №46. At the time of the siege of Leningrad, Aliya Moldagulova also went to hospital together with her friends. The feat accomplished by her, takes its roots precisely in those far years.

Alia's military career

October 1, 1942, the girl becomes a student of the Rybinsk Aircraft College. She wanted to start flying as quickly as possible, but it took too long to learn. Therefore, impatience prevailed, and Alia applied to the military enlistment office. In it was a request for admission to the Red Army.

On December 21, 1942, Alia became a pupil of a sniper school, where on February 23, 1943, she took a military oath. After graduation, it was decided to leave the girl at school in order to train the cadets. But she still got it and went to the front.

On January 14, 1944, Aliya Moldagulova, whose feat remained in the memory of millions, was killed during the defense of the railway station Nasva. A little later she was awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union.

The beginning of the last girl fight

At that time offensive battles were fought in the territory, located slightly north of Novo-Sokolnikov. Alia Moldagulova, whose feat remembers the whole world, served in the 4th Special Rifle Battalion of the 54th Infantry Brigade. It was he who was ordered to capture the village of Kazachki. Thus, the soldiers had to cut the line of the railway leading from Novo-Sokolniki to the Bottom.

But, despite the enormous efforts made, the battalion was never able to fully master the village. He was met by a storm of enemy fire, which forced the Soviet soldiers to withdraw. When the battalion again began to attack, the girl was among the first to rush forward and carried her other allies to the German trenches.

This battle lasted two days, during which the girl killed about 20 Hitlerite soldiers.

Alia in the night exploration

With the coming of the night, the brave Aliya expressed a desire to go into the reconnaissance. Despite the very tired appearance of the girl, the commander could not refuse her. Persistence and perseverance once again won, and she, together with several fighters, went into enemy disposition.

During this reconnaissance roll, Alia spotted an enemy mortar that fired upon our military formations. The girl cleverly using grenades eliminated the calculation. She also brought a prisoner - the surviving German officer.

The last day of the brave Komsomol

In the morning, after a successful reconnaissance campaign, a new battle began. The riot reflected nine enemy attacks. Alia continuously fired upon the enemy, destroying approximately 30 fascist soldiers. She did not abandon her weapon at the moment when her arm was wounded by a fragment of an enemy mine. The optical sight of the rifle was destroyed, but the girl continued.

She independently made a wound dressing, replaced the rifle with an automatic gun and continued to shoot at enemies. Order was received on the assault capture of the German stronghold. And under the loud voice of the young Kazakh woman, who called soldiers ahead, the soldiers entered the strongpoint. Alia was in front of everyone and continued to move forward swiftly. Another 8 Nazis killed the machine, which is in her hands.

Death still caught up ...

But suddenly there was a fatal surprise - an enemy officer grabbed her by the sleeve of a sweatshirt. The girl managed to escape only and send weapons to his chest. But the enemy bullet was faster this time. Despite the mortal wound, she still managed to fire at her last destroyed Hitler.

The wounded girl was taken from the battlefield by her colleagues and taken to a barn, where sick soldiers were placed. But she could not escape death this time - the bomb that hit the roof of this building, killed Alia.

Eyes of eyewitnesses

Co-workers of the soldier wrote to Kazakh workers that in their company there was not a single soldier who could not remember how and where the feat Aliya Moldagulova accomplished. All of them until the last revenge for her death. Before their eyes was constantly her face: a serious, gentle, fearless in battle and caring in everyday life, soldiers.

Alia was very fond of the Kazakh people and dreamed of his great future. Its main goal was to devote his life to the prosperity of his native and beloved land. In their letters the soldiers asked to tell all the residents of Kazakhstan about what this wonderful girl, the faithful daughter of her people, who gave her life for his happiness, was. They wanted people to know everything: how Aliya Moldagulova was born, studied, accomplished a feat, lived and died ...

The former commander of the brigade of the guard colonel in retirement N. Uralsky, who was an eyewitness of all that is happening, says that it is impossible to pinpoint the number of enemies killed by the fighter Moldagulova. Despite the fact that in most documents there is a figure of 78, the real number is much higher. It reaches about two hundred. It was in the last fight that Aliya Moldagulova showed unprecedented courage. The feat was the last step to her death.

Memory of Alie Moldagulova

On the place in Novosokolnikah, where the girl died, erection of the memorial complex took place . Stella in honor of the heroes-artekovtsy, located on the territory of the international children's camp "Artek", also contains the carved name of Aliyah.

She is dedicated to ballet, which has a similar name, poems and many different songs. After the death of the girl, in 1944, the poet Yakov Helemsky published a collection of poems telling about the feat Aliya Moldagulova performed.

Rose Rymbayeva sang the song "Aliya", which quickly became very popular. It very seldom happened with musical works written not in Russian. The feat of Alia Moldagulova in Russian was recreated in the documentary "Aliya" and the feature film "Snipers".

The feat of the Kazakh military in the Great Patriotic War

From the very beginning of hostilities, Kazakh soldiers displayed patriotism and courage. A significant number of them took upon themselves the first strikes of the Second World War, which fell on the Brest Fortress. She stayed for a month. Near its walls are buried about 1500 fascist soldiers.

Forever will remain in the memory of the feat, which committed the 316th Infantry Division of General IV. Panfilov. Its formation took place on the territory of Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. November 16, 1941, 28 soldiers for 4 hours reflected the offensive of 50 enemy tanks, not allowing them to break into the territory of Moscow. They all died and were named after the Heroes of the Soviet Union posthumously.

But the names of two glorious representatives of the Kazakh people became a golden chronicle of the Great Patriotic War. Aliya Moldagulova is the first Kazakh girl to become the Hero of the Soviet Union after her death. Manshuk Mametova accomplished her feat at the age of twenty-one. Remaining in the field of battle alone with three machine guns, she for several hours was able to contain the furious attacks of German soldiers. Her title was also posthumous. The feat of Aliya Moldagulova and Manshuk Mametova is something that will never be erased from the memory of the people of Kazakhstan, infinitely grateful to their defenders for saving the world from fascism.
