The legendary "shaman". The skill of Buryat snipers was generally recognized even during the war years. But only Zhambyl Tulaev, who destroyed 262 Nazis, received the well-deserved title of Hero of the Soviet Union. Semyon Nomokonov and Tsyren-Dashi Dorzhiev were given the highest order of the country - the Order of Lenin. Definitely an honorable mention. But still, not the title of Hero...
The order was issued for particularly outstanding services in the revolutionary movement, labor activity, defense of the socialist Fatherland, development of friendship and cooperation between peoples, strengthening of peace, and other particularly outstanding services to the Soviet state and society. That is, for everything.
In addition, after the war, the value of the Order of Lenin, which was handed over in batches to representatives of the party nomenclature for the next anniversaries, dropped quite a bit. So, the first secretary of the Communist Party of Belarus Nikolai Patolichev, "civil marshal" Dmitry Ustinov had 11 orders.
And the Hero of the Soviet Union, whatever one may say, was a Hero, and that's it. There is evidence that snipers Semyon Nomokonov, Tsyren-Dashi Dorzhiev, Arseniy Etobaev, about whom the ARD will write, were promoted to the highest rank. But for one reason or another, they didn’t hand it over, replacing it with the Order of Lenin, they say, “enough from the nationalists” ...
... Tsyren-Dashi Dorzhiev is one of the 50 best Soviet snipers of the Great Patriotic War. He has 270 enemies and a downed plane on his account.
He was born in the ulus of Ust-Bar, Mukhorshibir aimag, Buryat ASSR in 1912. His parents were poor peasants. Tsyren-Dashi's father was noted for his diligence, he was a jack of all trades. The whole Tugnuiskaya valley knew well the skilled blacksmith, carpenter and chaser. In addition, he was a passionate hunter, a good shooter. Hunting was almost his main occupation. And it is not surprising that the eight-year-old Tsyren-Dashi fired from his father's gun one summer.
Already in August 1941, Tsyren-Dashi Dorzhiev volunteered for the front. They did not immediately discern the talent of the 29-year-old Buryat, as in the case of Semyon Nomokonov.
“I was not lucky at the front. They gave me a rifle, a couple of horses, and said that I would be delivering groceries to the kitchen. With great reluctance, I had to take up my duties. Once, while talking with the commander, I sincerely expressed to him my wish to become a sniper. The commander granted my request and transferred me to a rifle company,” Dorzhiev wrote home.
Soon he will show himself. A born hunter, he quickly learned the art of a sniper. From Dorzhiev's letters:
“I was handed a sniper rifle. By order of the commander, he trained to shoot from it all day. The next day I sat in a camouflaged window and patiently watched the enemy dugout. Soon a fascist crawled out of it. I took him down with one shot, then I managed to take down the second one. On the front line of the enemy, we have established exemplary order: the Nazis move only by crawling.
In the battles for the village of Simanovo on May 3, 1942, Dorzhiev destroyed 48 targets in one day of battle and shot down the Messerschmit Me-109 fighter. The commander of the 645th Red Banner Rifle Regiment, introducing the Red Army soldier Tsyren-Dashi Rinchinovich to the government award - the Order of Lenin, reported:
“Comrade Dorzhiev has been participating in the Patriotic War since August 1941. During his stay in the regiment, Comrade Dorzhiev became famous as a well-aimed shooter - an excellent sniper and became known to the entire front as a fighter of the German invaders. On the combat account of the sniper Dorzhiev, 174 destroyed Nazis.
On June 17, 1942, the command of the North-Western Front awarded Tsyren-Dashi Dorzhiev with a high government award - the Order of Lenin. Congratulating Dorzhiev on the award, the newspaper of the North-Western Front "For the Motherland!" On June 10, 1942, she wrote: “Exterminate the enemy like a sniper Dorzhiev!”
Dorzhiev communicates with front-line correspondents. Behind the sniper's back is an SVT rifle,
In June 1942, in an army newspaper, in an article by senior political officer Kuznetsov: “Sniper Dorzhiev became a member of the Leninist Party” one could read: “The best sniper of our part of the Central-D. Dorzhiev yesterday, joining the party, said: "I swear, I will ruthlessly exterminate the Nazis, I promise to double the number of enemies I have killed."
Dorzhiev himself also began to be published in the newspaper. He published instructions for young snipers, personally trained about twenty well-aimed shooters. In September 1942, his article “Snipers were checked in battle” was published in an army newspaper.
The command set a special task for a group of snipers led by Dorzhiev: to destroy machine-gun crews. After the artillery bombardment, the Nazis began to run out of the windows, becoming a good target for the snipers of the Dorzhiev group. In this battle, he destroyed two machine-gun crews, in total 84 German soldiers and officers were laid down, personally Dorzhiev - 36 Nazis.
At the end of 1942, the sniper arrives at home as part of a front delegation, speaks at rallies, and visits his native village. He won't have to go back...
In the last offensive battles on December 30, 1942, Tsyren-Dashi Dorzhiev was wounded and ended up in the Valdai field hospital. And on January 3, he died of his wounds. Tsyren-Dashi Dorzhiev was buried in the village of Manuylovo, Parfinsky district, Novgorod region, 30 kilometers from the city of Staraya Russa.
Only 14 months as a sniper - and such a result. One can argue about the effectiveness of the work, and the criteria by which the title of Hero was awarded. For example, Zhambyl Tulaev was not just a sniper, but hunted enemy marksmen and also trained others. Semyon Nomokonov "removed" the general. Arseniy Etobaev shot down two planes, 356 targets. All of them - Nomokonov, Etobaev, Dorzhiev - deserve the highest title now in Russia.
With the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, snipers entered the fight against the enemy from its first hours. They used:
- sniper rifle model 1891/1930;
— self-loading rifle Tokarev SVT-40;
- ABC-36 automatic sniper rifle;
- Bramit-type silencer (device of the Mitin brothers).
As the war progressed, the importance of sniper fire increased. It is no coincidence that in the reports on the hostilities of enemy snipers, losses from their fire were often mentioned on a par with the work of artillery and aviation.

The Nazis were afraid of them like fire. “The Russians are something terrible, and there is nowhere to hide from them,” one of the German soldiers reported in a letter home about Soviet snipers. And they had something to be afraid of: almost every bullet of the master of well-aimed fire with a red asterisk on the pilot hit the target exactly. Only the legendary Zhambal Tulaev and his students destroyed about 1.5 thousand Germans.
“His deeds will be remembered forever, the image will be cast from copper,” the front-line poet predicted the post-war life of Zhambal Yesheevich. And so it happened. Today, the fearless Bator of the Tunkinskaya Valley, for whose head the Nazis offered a million Reichsmarks, is known everywhere. The names of other brave fighters of enemies are also heard - Nikifor Afanasyev, Tsyrendashi Dorzhiev, Arseny Etobaev, Garma Baltyrov. Unfortunately, they rarely mention other Buryat snipers these days, their names are practically not included in the lists of the best WWII snipers.
One of these undeservedly forgotten well-aimed front-line soldiers is Gavril Lebedev, who mercilessly destroyed the Nazi invaders from November 22, 1942 to February 3, 1943. On his account 23 killed Fritz.
There was another hero who was forgotten - a native of the village Zhemchug Markh Ayusheev. It was only recently that it was possible to establish that this shooter died on October 5, 1943. A brave, enterprising sniper received an award in August 1943 for destroying 59 Nazis in a few months, repeatedly participating in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy, as a result of which he received two combat wounds. Today, few people know another Tunkinsky sniper, Andrei Nefedyev, who, also, possessing remarkable physical strength, exterminated enemies in hand-to-hand combat. About the valor of a native of the Tunka village of Sagan-Nur, two of his awards speak better than any words - the Order of the Red Star and the medal "For Courage".
The fate of the Dzhida "fritz hunter" Konstantin Dorzhiev is dramatic. In one of the sniper duels in the winter of 1943 near the Vistula River in Poland, he was seriously wounded in the head. After three years of treatment in hospitals, Konstantin Sambuevich returned home to his native Upper Ichetui as a disabled person of the first group. But still won remarkable will. And love, big and pure. A brave and strong-willed sniper was waited from the war by a girl named Tsyren-Dulma. In 1949, the Dorzhievs "in spite of all deaths" played a wedding and celebrated a housewarming party in a spacious house.
Until recently, the exploits of a Buryat sniper, a native of the Trans-Baikal Territory, Shagdyr Kulyrov, remained unknown. It follows from the hero’s award sheet that the sniper of the 529th Infantry Regiment of the 163rd Infantry Division was presented to the Order of the Red Banner in July 1942. And the combat list of sniper Kulyrov, who went missing in 1942, is more than 90 exterminated fascists.
Two years after the Victory, a belated award - the Order of the Patriotic War of the II degree - found Innokenty Igumnov, a native of the Kyakhtinsky district. Another rarely mentioned Buryat sniper received it for accomplishing several feats in 1944: in a battle near the village of Kazaki, south of Vitebsk, he personally destroyed three German snipers, and a few days later he suppressed an enemy machine-gun point .
An eighteen-year-old boy, after graduating from the 25th Nizhneudinsk sniper school, got into the 136th separate ski battalion of the second Belorussian Front, Bichurian Georgy Belykh. The reconnaissance sniper found himself in the thick of battles - near Vitebsk. Georgy Kalistratovich returned home with the Order of Glory of the III degree and two medals "For ot-vaga".
To date, the list of the 15 most accurate WWII snipers related to Buryatia is as follows:
1. Semyon Nomokonov (367 exterminated fascists)
2. Arseny Etobaev (356)
3. Zhambal Tulaev (313)
4. Nikifor Afanasiev (299)
5. Tsyrendashi Dorzhiev (270, according to other sources - 297)
6. Tsybik Tsydypov (over 250)
7-8. Buda Galsanov and Ignat Khichibeyev (more than 200).
9. DorjiUhinov (193 or 197)
10. Togon Sanzheev (186)
11. Garma Baltyrov (170)
12-13. Konstantin Dorzhiev and Chimit Tsydypov (127 each)
14. Bato-Munko Damdinov (114)
15. Zhimbe Pagbaev (over 100)
But it is worth considering that this list is not final. After all, the combat accounts of many snipers are not documented. From time to time there are new front-line documents about our snipers.
Blessed memory to the Heroes and low bow!
No one is forgotten, nothing is forgotten...

Nikolai Ilyin: the most productive Soviet sniper in the Great Patriotic War
He did not have time to bring the number of his victims to 500 - only six Nazi corpses were not enough to reach a round figure. But the Hero of the Soviet Union, Nikolai Ilyin, brought up a worthy replacement for himself - a cheerful joker, he knew how to simply and easily teach a soldier who had a penchant for sniper work, the basics of his skill.
A simple guy from Ukraine
Nikolai Ilyin was a country boy from the Ukrainian village of Chernukhino, before the war he worked as a mechanic in a railway depot in the Donetsk region. At the front from the first days of the Great Patriotic War, he went to fight as a volunteer. The fact that Nikolai was an excellent shooter soon became clear - already in September 1941, he, a submachine gunner, was introduced to the Order of the Red Banner: by that time Ilyin had destroyed over 80 Nazis.
Ilyin's colleague sniper Vasily Silin taught Nikolai his craft. In the Battle of Stalingrad, Ilyin already had more than a hundred enemy soldiers and officers on his account. For military merit, the well-aimed shooter was awarded a nominal military weapon, from which Khusen Andrukhaev, Hero of the Soviet Union, beat the enemy. For a day, Sergeant Ilyin could destroy up to a dozen or more Nazis. He described his exits to positions in a diary, which he carefully kept. These notes were quoted by Soviet newspapers during the life of Nikolai.
By November 1942, the sniper had already killed 216 Nazis, for which the command introduced him to the title of Hero of the Soviet Union, in February of the following year, deputy political instructor N. Ilyin received the Order of Lenin and the Gold Star.
"Love the earth"
Nikolai Ilyin was a good teacher, able to clearly and simply explain what the secret of sniper skills was. He taught novice snipers to "love the earth": to dig in as carefully as possible and not be lazy to make several well-camouflaged positions: the earth covers the shooter like armor. “Labor is the blacksmith of sniper luck,” Ilyin liked to repeat.
Every good sniper, the Hero of the Soviet Union noted, must determine the distance to enemy positions as accurately as possible by eye, develop an eye. As the Soviet press wrote about him, “Nikolai resolutely rejected recklessness, did not tolerate arrogance, ostentatious courage” - only by composure can a sniper achieve a good result, Ilyin convinced.
As an example of such deadly behavior, Nikolai cited a case from his sniper practice. Once he was discovered by an enemy sniper. Shot at Ilyin and missed. Nikolai got excited and put several bullets "into the milk" - on a hunch, not knowing exactly where the enemy shooter sat down. To make the enemy appear, Ilyin will use the simplest sniper method - he raised his helmet above the parapet on a rifle. The Hitlerite instantly pierced her. Nikolay spotted the place of the flash, crawled into the reserve trench and waited. The German could not stand it and leaned out to see if he had shot the Soviet sniper or not. A branch swayed, and the physiognomy of a fascist appeared there. Curiosity cost Fritz his life. But, as Ilyin always emphasized, in that duel he came across an inexperienced opponent, and Nikolai won thanks not to endurance, but to cunning.
The sniper platoon under the command of Ilyin successfully shot back the Nazis and, as a result, twice got into the reports of the Soviet Information Bureau. For example, for 4 June days, 1943, 20 Ilyinsky snipers shot 123 fascists.
I did not manage to bring to a round count
Ilyin died in the battle for the village of Yastrebovoye (Kursk region) on July 25, 1943. Having destroyed 35 Nazis in this fierce battle, he was killed by a machine-gun burst when he aimed at the thirty-sixth. Thus, on the combat account of Nicholas, there were 494 enemy soldiers and officers. The legendary sniper rifle was handed over to Sergeant Gordienko, a sniper from Ilyin's platoon. Afanasy Gordienko died in the same 1943 in a battle near Kharkov, and the rifle was subsequently transferred to the Central Museum of the Armed Forces of the USSR.

Photograph believed to be Erwin Koenig
The best snipers of World War II were Russian snipers, and there is a very specific explanation for this fact: long before the start of World War II, the Soviet Union paid special attention to the mass shooting training of the population, the development of skills in handling and marksmanship. In 1932, when Osoaviakhim established the title of Voroshilovsky shooter, a broad movement was launched to master shooting skills. About 9 million people were awarded the Voroshilovsky shooter badge. The result of this work was a reserve of well-trained shooters.
Even before the start of the Great Patriotic War, sniper squads were included in the staff of the subdivisions of the NKPS Guard of Communications.
Real accounts of snipers are actually more than confirmed ones. For example, Fedor Okhlopkov, according to estimates, destroyed more than a thousand Germans in total, also using a machine gun. In 1943, there were more than 1,000 women among Soviet snipers; during the war they counted more than 12,000 Germans. The first ten Soviet snipers destroyed (confirmed) 4200 soldiers and officers, and the first twenty - 7400. Sniper of the 82nd Infantry Division Mikhail Lysov in October 1941 shot down a Ju-87 from an automatic rifle with a sniper scope. Unfortunately, there is no data on the number of infantrymen killed by him. And the sniper of the 796th rifle division, foreman Antonov Vasily Antonovich, in July 1942 near Voronezh shot down a twin-engine Ju-88 with four shots from a rifle. Data on the number of infantrymen killed by him was also not preserved.
The weapons for our snipers were mainly the Mosin sniper rifle. However, the sniper version of the SVT was also used.
The training of snipers in the Wehrmacht began only by the end of 1942, and not only Soviet captured sniper rifles were used, but also Soviet educational films and instructions. Therefore, the Germans managed to reach the required level only in 1944. It is believed that Erwin Koenig, who was killed by Vasily Zaitsev in Stalingrad, was engaged in the training of snipers in Germany. It is also alleged that the head of the sniper school in Zossen was SS Standartenführer Heinz Thorwald, whose existence, like the school itself, is also in doubt - German snipers were trained not in schools, but directly in the troops. Many generally believe that Koenig was invented by the writer William Craig, who wrote the book "Enemy at the Gates" in 1973 - "The Enemy at the Gates". However, the sight taken by Zaitsev from the Koenig sniper rifle was exhibited at the Central Museum of the Armed Forces. in Moscow, which, however, was removed from the exposition some time ago.
Most likely, Koenig was just a good sniper and was among those 11 snipers who were killed by Vasily Zaitsev, and inflating the significance of his person is only aimed at making the layman think that the Germans also had aces snipers.

Lyudmila Pavlichenko is the most productive female sniper, having destroyed 309 enemies.
The most productive of our snipers was the foreman from the 1st battalion of the 39th rifle regiment of the 4th rifle division of the 12th army, Mikhail Ilyich Surkov. Of the female snipers, the most productive was the sniper from the 54th Infantry Regiment of the 25th Chapaevskaya Infantry Division, Lyudmila Mikhailovna Pavlichenko. among the best snipers there were many hunters who had been hunting since childhood. The hunters were Vasily Zaitsev, Yakut sniper Fyodor Matveyevich Okhlopkov and Mikhail Surkov. Evenk snipers Semyon Danilovich also became famous.
An interesting fact: from January 18 to January 28, 1943, a rally of NKVD snipers from all fronts was held in Moscow. 309 people took part in its work. After a four-day instructor-methodical seminar, a combat internship took place. During it, a combined battalion of snipers from the rally participants destroyed 2,375 Wehrmacht servicemen in ten days.
Among the German snipers distinguished Matthias Hetzenauer - 345 confirmed killed, Josef Allerberger - 257 confirmed killed and the Lithuanian Bruno Sutkus who fought for the Germans - 209 killed. Finn Simo Häyhä also became famous, who is credited with 504 killed Red Army soldiers, of which 219 were documented.

The Nazis were afraid of them like fire. “The Russians are something terrible, and there is nowhere to hide from them,” one of the German soldiers reported in a letter home about Soviet snipers. And they had something to be afraid of: almost every bullet of the master of well-aimed fire with a red asterisk on the pilot hit the target exactly. Only the legendary Zhambal Tulaev and his students destroyed about 1.5 thousand Germans, the Buryatia newspaper reports.
“His deeds will be remembered forever, the image will be cast from copper,” the front-line poet predicted the post-war life of Zhambal Yesheevich. And so it happened. Today, the fearless Bator of the Tunkinskaya Valley, for whose head the Nazis offered a million Reichsmarks, is known everywhere. We also hear the names of our other brave fighters of enemies - Nikifor Afanasyev, Tsyrendashi Dorzhiev, Arseny Etobaev, Garma Baltyrov (erroneously Boltyrev). Unfortunately, they rarely mention other Buryat snipers these days, their names are practically not included in the lists of the best WWII snipers.
Forgotten mergens of Victory
One of these not deservedly forgotten well-aimed front-line soldiers is Gavril Lebedev, a native of the Mukhorshibirsky district. Gavril Borisovich, according to updated data, from a rifle (No. 3757) fired 67 accurate shots and distinguished himself as a skilled master of sniper "props". Sparing, but accurately describing the front-line feat, the words from his award list (awarded with the Order of the Red Banner) confirm the heroism and courage of Mergen Pobeda: “Being a sniper mercilessly destroying the Nazi invaders, Comrade Lebedev for the period from November 22 1942 to February 3, 1943 destroyed 23 Fritz.
One of the most famous snipers of the Battle of Stalingrad Garma Baltyrov
If they still remember the fellow countryman of the Hero of the Soviet Union Zhambal Tulaev - Buda Galsa-nov in Tunka, then Mark Ayusheev, a native of the village of Zhemchug (or Okhor Shibir), alas, was forgotten. A few days ago it was possible to establish: Markha Lopsonovich (according to the front-line documents, Mark Lansonovich and Markha Loysonovich) died on October 5, 1943. It turned out that he served as a sniper in a company of machine gunners of the 707th Infantry Regiment of the 213th Infantry Division of the 31st Army. On July 12, 1943, the regiment commander Ryazanov presented him with the Order of the Red Star. The now forgotten "skillful sniper, brave, enterprising" award was received in August 1943 for the fact that "during the period of January-June, he destroyed 59 Nazis, repeatedly participated in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy, as a result of which he received two combat injured." Today, few people know another Tunkinsky sniper, Andrei Nefedyev, who, also, possessing remarkable physical strength, exterminated enemies in hand-to-hand combat. About the valor of a native of the Tunka village of Sagan-Nur, two of his awards speak better than any words - the Order of the Red Star and the medal "For Courage".
The fate of the Dzhida "fritz hunter" Konstantin Dorzhiev is dramatic. In one of the sniper duels in the winter of 1943 near the Vistula River in Poland, he was seriously wounded in the head. After three years of treatment in hospitals, Konstantin Sambuevich returned home to his native Upper Ichetui as a disabled person of the first group. But still won remarkable will. And love, big and pure. A brave and strong-willed sniper was waited from the war by a girl named Tsyren-Dulma. In 1949, the Dorzhievs "in spite of all deaths" played a wedding and celebrated a housewarming party in a spacious house.
Countrymen say: Konstantin Dorzhiev decided to become a sniper without fail after he learned about the death of the "master of accurate fire" Zhimbe Pagbaev, whom few people know outside of his small homeland. But on October 3, 1942, the sniper of the 4th squadron of the 12th cavalry regiment of the 3rd guards cavalry division was awarded the Order of the Red Banner. From the award list: “Comrade Pagbaev, being an excellent sniper, on 8/8/42 destroyed 15 Nazis with his sniper rifle. 9.8.42, near the village of Belfry from the machine gun comrade. Pagbaev destroyed about 10 fascists and destroyed 2 fascist soldiers in hand-to-hand combat.
Caught in the heat of war
Until recently, the exploits of a Buryat sniper, a native of the Trans-Baikal Territory (called by the Petrovsko-Zabaikalsky RVC) Shagdyr Kulyrov, remained unknown. It follows from the hero's award list that the sniper of the 529th Infantry Regiment of the 163rd Infantry Division was presented (07/16/42) to the Order of the Red Banner. But (this happened extremely rarely in the war) he received a higher award - the Order of Lenin. The combat list of the sniper Kulyrov, who went missing in 1942, is more than 90 exterminated fascists.
Two years after the Victory, a belated award - the Order of the Patriotic War of the II degree - found Innokenty Igumnov, a native of the Kyakhtinsky district. Another rarely mentioned Buryat sniper received it for accomplishing several feats in 1944: in a battle near the village of Kazaki, south of Vitebsk, he personally destroyed three German snipers, and a few days later he suppressed an enemy machine-gun point .
An eighteen-year-old boy, after graduating from the 25th Nizhneudinsk sniper school, got into the 136th separate ski battalion of the second Belorussian Front, Bichurian Georgy Belykh. The reconnaissance sniper found himself in the thick of battles - near Vitebsk. Georgy Kalistratovich returned home with the Order of Glory of the III degree and two medals "For ot-vaga".
The same famous "twenty-fifth" school was graduated by several dozens of our countrymen, including the honorary master of sports of the USSR in bullet shooting Ivan Bardamov and the holder of three orders of Glory Anany Nikitin.
One of the most talented students, Zhambala Tulaeva, is a native of the village of Argada, Kurumkan district, Dorji Ukhinov. According to unconfirmed reports, Dorzhi Tsyrempilovich, who served in the same platoon with a mentor, exterminated 193 Nazis. It is not yet known what orders the pupil of Zhambala Tulaev was awarded. But recently we managed to find his award sheet for the medal "For Military Merit". As noted in the front-line document, Dorzhi Ukhinov from May 20 to July 31, 1942, "advancing beyond the front line of the regimental defense in front of the village of Med-nikovo, destroyed 36 Nazis." He went missing at the end of February 1943 near the village of Staroe Ra-mushevo, Leningrad Region.
As for other students of Zhambal Tulaev, their names are distorted in several sources - “Ananiy Gyneev, Dmitry Zagnoev, Banoy Yerboev”. In fact, these are Ananiy Gineev, Dmitry Zaginaev, Banai Yerbaev. According to the Book of Memory of Buryatia, Banai Yerbaev died a heroic death on February 16, 1943 and was buried in Leningrad. However, from the report of the losses it follows: the primary burial place of the front-line soldier is the village of Gorby in the Leningrad Region. And for Anania Gineev, apparently, his front-line "profession" of a sniper was not the main one. He distinguished himself as a brave scout who, as part of the legendary battalion of Stepan Ne-ustroev, hoisted the banner of Victory over the defeated Reichstag. So far, nothing is known about how the fate of Tula-ev's pupil, Dondok Budaev, developed.
The girls went hunting
Along with the men on the front line, female snipers demonstrated miracles of courage and courage. According to my calculations, more than 10 Buryat women - masters of ultra-precise fire from a sniper rifle fought on the fronts of the Second World War. These are Tatyana Popova, Ekaterina Volosatova (Filippo-va), Matryona Thomson, Iraida (Irina) Tayurskaya, Valentina Astrakhantseva, Tatyana Bryanskaya (Mikhaleva), Clara (Clara) Karpenko, Antonina Guzel, Valentina Babuchenko (Usoltseva), Elena Ivanova ( Trifonov).
A native of the Tunkinsky district, Tatyana Yakovlevna Popova fought at the front as a sniper of a sniper company (10th Guards Army). She was awarded the "Sniper" badge, the medal "For Military Merit" - for the fact that in the battles near the Latvian village of Purvini in December 1943 she destroyed five Germans. There, in the same battle, 18-year-old Iraida Tayurskaya (born in the village of Sredny Ubukun, Selenginsky district), also distinguished herself, also received the medal "For Military Merit". Iraida Tayurskaya is a graduate of the legendary Central Women's School of Sniper Training (TsZHShSP), which was based in Podolsk near Moscow. Polina Bryanskaya, Klyora Karpenko, who was awarded the Order of the Red Star, and other Buryat front-line soldiers graduated from this school.
The other day, another unique document from the time of the Second World War was found. He testifies: a native of the village of Ganzurino, Ivolginsky district, Matrena Tomson, was awarded the medal "For Courage" for her feat during the war years. In May 1945, in a battle near the village of Bela, she destroyed a German officer, and in a battle near an unnamed height, two soldiers.
During the search for our snipers, I assumed that on the fronts of the Second World War, the enemy was also beaten by female snipers of Buryat nationality. Not so long ago, I managed to find front-line documents that confirmed my assumptions. First, there was an award list for a front-line soldier Valentina Magzolova (possibly Mogzolova). Valentina Ayu-sheevna, who was born in the Alarsky district of the Irkutsk region, was called up by the Selenga RVC. She fought as part of the 714th Infantry Regiment of the 395th Division. She was awarded the medal "For Courage": in May 1945, in the area of \u200b\u200bthe Neisse River, she exterminated seven German soldiers. She was wounded but returned to duty. Surprisingly, in the same unit, Pobeda was also brought closer by a native of the village of Tamcha (or Ekhe-Tsagan) of the Selenginsky district, junior sergeant, sniper of the submachine gunners company Tsyren-Dulma Do-rzhiyeva. On March 26, 1945, according to the presentation for the award, Tsyren-Dul-ma Lubsanovna "being" on the hunt "destroyed five German soldiers with well-aimed fire," and after completing the combat mission she was hit by a "bullet of an enemy sniper." She was awarded the Order of the Patriotic War II degree. Posthumously. The girl was only 21 years old ...
Reference
The most famous Buryat snipers are Heroes of the Soviet Union Zhambal Tulaev and Nikifor Afanasiev. Orders of Lenin were awarded to Tsyrendashi Dorzhiev, Semyon Nomokonov, Arseniy Etobaev and Shagdyr Kulyrov. Among our women snipers, high awards were awarded to: the Order of the Red Star - Clara (Clara) Karpenko, the Order of the Patriotic War II degree - Tsyren-Dulma Dorzhieva.
Today, the list of the 15 most accurate WWII snipers related to Buryatia looks like this:
1. Semyon Nomokonov (367 exterminated fascists)
2. Arseny Etobaev (356)
3. Zhambal Tulaev (313)
4. Nikifor Afanasiev (299)
5. Tsyrendashi Dorzhiev (270, according to other sources - 297)
6. Tsybik Tsydypov (over 250)
7-8. Buda Galsanov and Ignat Khichibeyev (more than 200).
9. DorjiUhinov (193 or 197)
10. Togon Sanzheev (186)
11. Garma Baltyrov (170)
12-13. Konstantin Dorzhiev and Chimit Tsydypov (127 each)
14. Bato-Munko Damdinov (114)
15. Zhimbe Pagbaev (over 100)
This registry is not a constant. The combat accounts of many snipers are not documented. From time to time there are new front-line documents about our snipers.
I will add from myself. Shagdar Kulyrov, one of the most productive snipers on the North-Western Front, is not on the list.
