Trukhin Vlasov. Major General of the Red Army Fyodor Ivanovich Trukhin: biography, features of activity and interesting facts. The fate of loved ones
MAJOR GENERAL FEDOR IVANOVICH TRUKHIN _______________________________________________ The nominal head of the Military Directorate, as Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the KONR, was Lieutenant General A. A. Vlasov. However, due to the performance of large-scale representative functions, Vlasov could not really monitor the process of formation of the Armed Forces of the KONR, control the work of the administration, and even more so, deal with issues of military development. Thus, we consider the real creator of the Vlasov army to be his immediate deputy, Major General Fyodor Ivanovich Trukhin. In history, we can not often note cases when the personal contribution of a talented organizer and officer to the process of military development, which took place in similar circumstances, would mean as much as the efforts of F.I. Trukhin invested in the creation of the KONR Armed Forces. It would not be a great exaggeration to link most of all the achievements of the Vlasovites in 1943-1945. in the military-combat area with the name of Trukhin. Trukhin's hard-to-replace role in the military construction of his army was determined by a number of essential characteristics of Vlasov's closest deputy: deep knowledge and a broad outlook, military experience, exemplary internal discipline, and finally, noteworthy personal qualities and even - origin and upbringing. Fedor Ivanovich Trukhin was born on February 29, 1896 in Kostroma in the family of a retired staff captain of the 1st grenadier brigade of His Royal Highness Prince Karl of Prussia and the Zemstvo head of the Kostroma district I. A. Trukhin. Fyodor Trukhin's grandfather retired with the rank of colonel of the Imperial Army, his grandmother came from the family of the famous Major General I. M. Bychinsky, so military service in the family was a good tradition. Trukhin Sr. by 1911 had risen to the rank of real state councilor, and since 1913 he was an indispensable member of the Kostroma provincial presence. At the same time, Trukhin Jr. was rather reserved about the past of his own family. O. I. Gussakovskaya, the granddaughter of the Kostroma vice-governor V. L. Gussakovsky, from the stories of her mother, who was considered to be Fyodor Trukhin’s betrothed, recalled him in 1997: “In childhood, calling him” “golden boy”. They called it that because he was given an amazing harmony of personality. He had a great mind, charm, a rare sense of humor and a rare ability to get along with people. The students quarreled over the right of friendship with him. He was, of course, a very extraordinary person - a person who had a positive charge by nature. Fedor Trukhin graduated from the 2nd Kostroma gymnasium in 1914 and entered the law faculty of Moscow University. Having successfully completed two courses, Trukhin volunteered to enter the 2nd Moscow School of Ensigns and in 1917 served as an elected battalion commander of the 181st Ostrolensky Regiment of the 46th Infantry Division. Trukhin’s cool attitude towards his father’s “loyal past” and restraint in relations with the ranks of the White armies have their own explanation: as in a bad literary work, the youngest son of the chairman of the county zemstvo and a real state councilor dreamed of a revolution from the gymnasium. Together with the son of the Kostroma vice-governor A. V. Gussakovsky, Fyodor Trukhin was a member of a secret revolutionary circle, hoping that the coming revolution would immediately eliminate all the absurdities and injustices of the patriarchal life of the Russian provinces. “They went into the revolution. They wanted to make a revolution,” O. N. Gussakovskaya recalled. Fyodor Ivanovich Trukhin joined the Red Army in November 1918 and began his military career in the Red Army as a squad leader of the Kostroma provincial reserve cavalry regiment. In the Civil War 1917-1920. he took part in combat positions in battles with units of the army of the UNR Head Ataman S. V. Petlyura with various rebel detachments, ending the war as commander of the 362nd rifle regiment. For personal courage and courage shown in battles with the Petliurists and numerous "fathers", in 1924 Trukhin was awarded the Order of the Red Banner, to which he was presented back in November 1920. Career growth was accompanied by constant and persistent study and self-education: in 1921 g. - company commander at the Kostroma infantry courses of the Red Army; in August 1925 - a graduate of the Military Academy of the Red Army; in January 1931 - chief of staff of the 12th rifle corps in the Volga military district (hereinafter - VO); in April 1934 - head of the department of combat training methods, in November 1939 - graduate of the Academy of the General Staff and senior lecturer in the department of operational art. Of the numerous brilliant attestations that are in the personal file of F.I. Trukhin, we will select two, the most important from the point of view of Trukhin's characterization as a commander. From the certification dated September 2, 1921 of the Kostroma infantry courses: “Comrade Trukhin, when he was a company commander, was an example of restraint and discipline. He loved the mass of cadets more than himself. His name is inscribed on a plaque of honor. From the certification dated November 4, 1936 Military Academy of the Red Army. M. V. Frunze: “Colonel Fyodor Ivanovich Trukhin is an excellently trained commander, with great general development and great knowledge in the field of tactics and operational art. Perfectly knows the staff service, an excellent teacher and methodologist. He is tactful and self-possessed, disciplined, enjoys authority among students and teachers. Excellent attestations for Trukhin in the 1920s-1930s. signed by such well-known military leaders of the Red Army as V. K. Blucher, R. P. Eideman and B. M. Shaposhnikov. Trukhin's arrival in the revolution in the Red Army was sincere, but, according to the testimony of the same O. N. Gussakovskaya, "disappointment came too early." Being the commander of the Red Army, Trukhin "became a different person" for relatives and friends. He did not communicate with anyone and did not frankly, narrowed his circle of acquaintances, and even visiting his ex-fiancee Valentina in Kostroma, he spoke to her more often in French just in case and always subconsciously expected to be arrested by the state security agencies. The promising commander of the Red Army Fyodor Trukhin had various reasons for such experiences. On the surface lay a noble origin and a close relationship with the “enemies of the people”: the father was a “disenfranchised”, the middle brother Ivan Ivanovich in 1918 led a large anti-Soviet peasant uprising with a center in the Belorechenskaya volost of the Kostroma district, the elder brother Sergei Ivanovich was repressed by the NKVD in 1938 F. I. Trukhin did not join the CPSU (b) and in 1941 remained one of the few non-partisan generals of the Red Army. Major-General F. I. Trukhin was captured on June 27, 1941 as chief of the operations department and deputy chief of staff of the North-Western Front. In the autumn of 1941, in the Hammelburg prisoner of war camp (Oflag ХШ-О), he became an active participant in the intra-camp anti-Soviet organization of prisoners of war. Through the mediation of the chairman of the NTS, V. M. Baidalakov, in February 1943, General Trukhin met A. A. Vlasov and later headed the Dabendorf school of the ROA. Vlasov could not have wished for a better chief of staff and deputy. Internal intelligence and the ability to correctly assess the business qualities of a person led Trukhin to conduct a competent and reasonable personnel policy in the field of staffing the central headquarters and combatant officer positions. Trukhin's high demands on his subordinates were based on high demands on himself, which was clearly manifested during his service in the Red Army, at the Dabendorf school of the ROA. Trukhin could not appear before the officers late, sleepy, poorly shaved, untidy, etc. e. Sensitivity, politeness and competence ensured him the respect of a variety of people, including those who had a bad attitude directly to Vlasov. Unlike A. A. Vlasov, S. K. Bunyachenko, I. N. Kononov and a number of other senior officers of the Armed Forces of the KONR, Trukhin never allowed himself to use obscene language, not only in the service, but also in the narrowest circle, even in moments of emotional experiences. The German writer E. E. Dwinger, popular during the war, saw in Trukhin a living symbol of doom: “And his voice was, like the whole person, like his face, like shaking his hand - without a sign of living life.” Instead of "a Russia renewed in the revolution," Trukhin came to a conclusion that constantly oppressed him; "Before, people still had a heart somewhere - now the bureaucracy has only one paragraph." As a sane pragmatist, who also had excellent analytical thinking, Trukhin clearly understood the futility of military operations on the Eastern Front for the Germans even before the death of the 6th Wehrmacht field army in the Stalingrad "cauldron" and had absolutely no doubt about the predetermined collapse of Germany already during the organization of the Dabendorf school ROD in the spring of 1943. He linked his hopes only with the creation of large Russian volunteer formations, operationally subordinate to the professional Russian command. In October - November 1944, the creation of such formations, from the point of view of Trukhin, was clearly belated. Nevertheless, Trukhin put all his knowledge, energy and experience at the service of the creation of the KONR troops. According to his plans, the Vlasov army, created on the ruins of the Reich and having an impressive appearance, could acquire important political significance for the Anglo-American command in the inevitable conflict with the Soviet Union. Starting to recruit the central headquarters, Trukhin wanted to give it not only the functions of a command center capable of effectively managing two or three full-fledged corps, but also to achieve a gradual transformation of the headquarters into a kind of military ministry of KONR. Alexandrov Kirill Mikhailovich - General Vlasov's Army 1944-1945
The Russian Liberation Army (ROA) is associated exclusively with the traitor general Andrei Vlasov. Meanwhile, there were other senior officers of the Red Army in its ranks. Some of them, being in captivity, went into the service of the Nazis for the sake of a bowl of soup, others for ideological reasons.
The ROA was formed from a wide variety of units, staffed not only by former Soviet citizens, but also by those who left their homeland during the Civil War, as well as nationalists from the outskirts of the Soviet empire. It's funny, but the most significant operation involving the ROA was the battle with the Germans in Prague in May 1945. Thus, the Vlasovites tried to distance themselves from the Nazis and get a reason to seek political asylum from the Anglo-Americans.
Vlasov himself did not want to help the Prague rebels, so only the 1st division of the ROA under the command of the colonel of the Red Army, Ukrainian Sergey Kuzmich Bunyachenko (1902-1946) went on a campaign. He served the Soviet government faithfully since 1918. He fought with his fellow Petliurists, and with the Basmachi, and with the Japanese (in 1938 on Khasan). In March 1942, during the battle for the Caucasus, Sergei Bunyachenko took command of the 389th Infantry Division, but already in August, having fallen under the tribunal, he was sentenced to death, replaced by 10 years in camps with a suspended sentence. His fault was that during the retreat in the Mozdok-Chervlennaya sector, he prematurely gave the order to blow up the bridge across the Terek, which led to the encirclement and death of several units.
Bunyachenko was given the opportunity to rehabilitate himself as the commander of the 59th separate rifle brigade. But it was not possible to rehabilitate, the brigade was defeated, and a tribunal again loomed in front of its commander, fleeing from which, he surrendered to the Romanian reconnaissance group. Realizing that there was no turning back, Sergei Bunyachenko tied his fate with Vlasov and led the first, fully equipped division of the ROA.
Vlasov entrusted another former Soviet colonel with such a responsible direction as the selection of personnel. Mikhail Alekseevich Meandrov (1894-1946) came from a family of a priest and rose to the rank of staff captain in the tsarist army.
He met the Great Patriotic War in the position of Deputy Chief of Staff of the 6th Army. In the ROA, he tried to act as a theoretician, explaining in his pamphlets how best to equip Russia after the defeat of Bolshevism.
Meandrov began to graze on this bed when it turned out that Major General Ivan Alekseevich Blagoveshchensky (1893-1946), who was in charge of propaganda work in the ROA, was engaged in it without much enthusiasm. By a characteristic coincidence, he also came from a family of a priest and in the tsarist army also rose to the rank of staff captain. Entering into
The Red Army, Blagoveshchensky did not show himself in anything special and quietly made a career as a coastal defense officer.
In early July 1941, he was among the commanders who led the defense of Liepaja, and when trying to get out of the encirclement, he was captured by Latvian nationalists. After the defeat of Germany, finding himself in the territory occupied by the Americans, Ivan Alekseevich entered into contacts with Soviet representatives, offering them his services. He was invited
for a car ride and taken to the Soviet zone.
At the trial, Blagoveshchensky stated that "he joined the anti-Soviet organization headed by Vlasov, although without direct instructions from the Soviet authorities, in order to undermine this organization from the inside, with the aim of corruptive work." Since the defendant did not give specific examples of "corrupting work", he was sentenced to death.
A similar ending awaited Fyodor Ivanovich Trukhin (1896-1946), who differed from his accomplices in that he was of noble origin and was one of the few Soviet generals who never joined the Communist Party. His father retired as a real state councilor and, together with his eldest son Ivan, was shot in 1919 for attempting to organize an anti-Bolshevik uprising in the Kostroma district.
Surprisingly, with such a pedigree, Fyodor Ivanovich Trukhin held senior positions in the Red Army, taught at the General Staff Academy, and rose to the rank of major general.
Of all the Vlasov generals (including Vlasov himself), he was the only one who not only surrendered, but purposefully defected to the Nazis (on the 5th day of hostilities), and even took headquarters documents. And he knew a lot, since he was deputy chief of staff of the North-Western Front. Since October 1944, as chief of staff, Fyodor Trukhin led the formation of the ROA, having managed to create two divisions. It was captured and handed over to the Soviet side on May 7, 1945 by Czech partisans.
The list of those who were convicted and hanged along with Vlasov on August 1, 1946 is closed by Major General Dmitry Efimovich Zakutny (1897-1946) and Vasily Fedorovich Malyshkin (1896-1946). Zakutny came from nonresident peasants of the Don region. He actively participated in many of the events described in The Quiet Flows the Don‚ but due to illiteracy, he always rubbed himself into secondary roles.
After the Civil War, he raised his educational level and met the Great Patriotic War as commander of the 21st Infantry Division. After a month of fighting, he took the place of the deceased commander of the 21st Rifle Corps, but he could not perform a miracle and, with the remnants of the defeated formation, was captured by the enemy. Another servant of the Nazis spoke briefly about the motives for his betrayal: “This one went because of the soup. That's for sure. There was no ideology in him.”
But Vasily Malyshkin was more suitable for the role of an "ideological" traitor. Coming from a family of an accountant, he faithfully served the Soviet government, but in 1938, at the end of the repressions, he was arrested on the standard charge of espionage. At the trial, he refused the testimony given under torture and, having fallen under the rehabilitation campaign, achieved restoration in the rank. But being in the dungeons, apparently, was reflected in his worldview. He was captured in October 1941 near Vyazma, being the chief of staff of the encircled 19th Army. In May 1945, he got into the American zone and, trying to prove his usefulness, wrote analytical notes for the Yankees. But the USSR gave him to the Union anyway.
Andrey Sevostyanov
Major General Andrei Nikitich Sevastyanov (1887-1947), whose life path resembled a roller coaster, was tried separately. In the tsarist army, he became a staff captain, had several orders, including the prestigious George of the 4th degree. In the Civil War he served in the Main Artillery Directorate of the Red Army, but after the end of the war he was demobilized and retrained as an accountant.
In 1924 he was expelled from Moscow for illegal currency transactions, in 1927 he received seven years for embezzlement. In 1938, having again fallen under investigation for embezzlement, he went into hiding.
At the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, under his own name, Sevastyanov signed up for the people's militia, and two months later, with the rank of brigade commander, he became the head of artillery of the 226th division. It can be assumed that he turned himself in to the relevant authorities with a confession, and there they decided to amnesty an experienced military man, especially since in sins
it was not politics.
Sevastyanov was taken prisoner in September 1941 during the Kiev disaster. He began cooperation with the Nazis in the military construction organization T0dta, building fortifications. In the ROA he was in charge of logistics. It must be assumed that the security officers worked with him more than with others, being impressed by the zigzags of his biography.
But most of all they paid attention to Mikhail Vasilievich Bogdanov (1897-1950), who began his service in the Red Army in 1919 during the defense of Petrograd from the troops of Yudenich. He was captured by the Germans in August 1941 near Uman, being the commander of the artillery of the 8th rifle corps. Having expressed his consent to cooperate with the Nazis, Bogdanov worked for the same T0dt. In July 1943, the head of the partisans of the Minsk-Borisov region, major of state security Pastukhov, came up to him, offering to atone for his guilt and poison General Vlasov.
However, Mikhail Vasilyevich failed to treat his boss with poison, although in the ROA he rose to the post of head of the artillery department of the headquarters. Surrendered to Soviet troops on May 8, 1945 in Czech Budejovice. Over the next five years, the MGB agent Gvozd convinced investigators that he had no way of killing Vlasov. Failed to convince. Like other Vlasovites, he ended his days on the gallows.
