Borozdinsky, Mikhail Georgievich

Born in the village Havki Venevsky area.

Shortly after the start of the Great Patriotic War , in July 1941, at the age of 16, the Venevsky military registration and enlistment office was mobilized and sent to Tula to build bomb shelters and barracks . In the same place I graduated from school FZO on a specialty of the carpenter. In January 1943 he was called up for military service and sent to study at the 1st Omsk Military Infantry School. M. V. Frunze. In the summer of 1943, he was sent to the Kursk Bulge , where he was quickly retrained to the loading tank T-34 . Participated in the liberation of the cities of Kharkov and Poltava . During the fighting in the area between Kremenchug and Kirovograd, his tank was destroyed and burned. In December 1943, Borozdinsky was sent to study at the 2nd Kiev Military School of self-propelled artillery, evacuated in July 1941 to Saratov , which he graduated after the war.

For many years he worked in archives , studying the biographies of famous countrymen, the history of Tula estates.

Together with the Tula architect V.N. Uklein (1898–1986), a small guidebook “ Venev ” was written, which was published by the editors of local history of Prioksky book publishing house (edited by SD Oshsky , Tula, 1974). Numerous local lore articles by Borozdinsky were published in the regional newspaper “Krasnoye Znamya” (Venev), the newspaper “ Novomoskovskaya Pravda ” and others.

In 1978, after a long overhaul, the Venev Museum of Local Lore was opened, which became the center of search activity and propaganda of history in the area. The materials prepared by local historians of the district also accumulate here. Among them a special place was occupied by Borozdinsky. He managed to explore many pages of the district’s history and certain parts of it, discover unknown and forgotten names, carefully studied Alexander Pushkin’s connections with Venevsky Krai, the relations between the composer Tchaikovsky and Nadezhda von Meck during the construction of the estate in Khruslovka on the Osetr River, the history of iron construction roads in Venev, learned and reported a lot about the life of the Decembrists and revolutionaries of the region.

In his work, he always avoided speculation and substantiated all conclusions with materials from archives that were perfect on the selection of facts. And although he co-authored a booklet (24 pages in length) about Venev, he was never able to publish a book on the history of the city in its entirety, and after his move to Novomoskovsk and his death, these unique materials were completely gone for Venetian researchers.

December 11, 1993 Borozdinsky spoke at the opening of the monument to A. Pushkin in the center of Novomoskovsk. ^[one]
