During the Great Patriotic War in December 1941, the seizure of the bridgehead and the organization of the Poddubye — Gorokhovo ferry by the troops of the 31st Army played an important role in the liberation of Kalinin .
“At 3 am on December 5, the forward battalions of the first-echelon divisions of the 31st Army rushed over the ice to the right bank of the Volga to capture bridgeheads in the Peremerki, Gorokhov, Staro-Semenovskoy settlements and thereby ensure that the main forces of the army overcome the water line. By 10 o'clock, the bridgeheads at Gorokhov and Staro-Semenovsky were captured by the advanced battalions of the 119th and 5th infantry divisions. With the help of aviation, the enemy managed to destroy the crossing at Orsha, but at Poddubya on the night of December 6-7, a part of the RVGK artillery and six T-34 tanks were transferred to the captured bridgehead. ”
