Biography
Egorov Vladimir Vasilievich was born on December 31, 1923 [1] in the village of Smorodovka [2] (7 km from the urban village of Dedovichi ) (now the Dedovichi district , Pskov region ) in the family of a railway worker, senior switchman of the Sudom junction Vasily Egorovich Egorov and his the wife of Maria Karlovna (since 1930 - collective farmer ) [3] .
In 1930 he went to study at the Krasnogorsk elementary school, and after graduating from it in 1934 at the Dedovichi secondary school No. 1. He was a member of the Komsomol , went in for sports, the only student of the school had a full set of award badges “ Voroshilovsky shooter ”, “ Be ready for work and defense ”,“ Ready for chemical defense ”and“ Ready for sanitary defense ”by OSOAVIAHIM , participated in school plays [3] . In 1940 he graduated from high school with a certificate of an excellent student and entered the Leningrad Institute of Civil Air Fleet Engineers [1] .
Participation in the war
The Great Patriotic War found Vladimir Egorov in his native village, where he spent his student vacations. On the first day of the war, Egorov went to the draft board as a volunteer to the front, but he was refused, since his year was not yet subject to mobilization. In early July 1941, Egorov was accepted into the fighter battalion of the Dedovichi district. July 27, 1941 voluntarily joined the partisan detachment "Budenovets", led by the secretary of the Dedovichi district party committee Nikolai Aleksandrovich Rachkov [4] . Egorov became a machine gunner in the detachment. In August 1941, the detachment became part of the 2nd Leningrad partisan brigade, participated in the attack on German garrisons in Yassky, Dedovichi and Kholm. In the spring of 1942, partisans raided the Betkovo station and blew up the bridge, which stopped the movement of enemy trains for 18 days [5] .
“... being the commander of a partisan regiment, Egorov burst ahead of eighteen soldiers with a machine gun in his hands in the village of Sitnya . The suddenness of the strike decided the success of the battle. The German garrison was routed utterly. Yegorov’s machine gun was so heated that after this battle the commander had to bandage his hands — they were blistered from burns. - A. Burov. Your Heroes, Leningrad [2] . |
In 1942, Yegorov was elected secretary of the Komsomol organization of the partisan detachment [4] . In April 1942, Egorov became the squad leader, and already in September, the commander of the reconnaissance platoon of the partisan detachment and was awarded his first award - the medal "For Courage". From February 1943, the chief of staff of the detachment, and from April, the commander of detachment No. 100, which consisted mainly of professional sailors who landed behind enemy planes from airplanes. In conversations with the sailors, Yegorov had a desire to become a military sailor, which he realized after the war [4] . By the summer of 1943, detachments of the 5th partisan brigade approached the front line. In November 1943, when the detachment of paratroopers grew to several hundred people and was transformed into the 4th partisan regiment of the 5th Leningrad partisan brigade of the Leningrad headquarters of the partisan movement , Yegorov became its commander. The popularity of Yegorov’s regiment was great; in the fall of 1943, over five hundred people entered this regiment [2] . In January 1944, when the Soviet offensive began near Leningrad and the enemy began to roll back to the west, the combat activity of Yegorov’s regiment increased. In its composition, the regiment already represented a military unit. It had 1,200 fighters, four cannons, seven easel and eighty light machine guns, about 1000 machine guns and rifles. Until March 1944, the regiment took an active part in the partisan movement near Leningrad , Pskov , Novgorod and Narva [6] . The partisan regiment under the command of Vladimir Egorov derailed 23 echelons of the enemy, blew up more than 10 thousand rails, 18 bridges on highways and railways, destroyed more than 23 thousand kilometers of enemy telegraph-telephone lines, including an important communication line on the section of the cities of the Bottom , Soltsy . The partisans carried out 9 successful raids on the location of enemy garrisons, including at the station Morino , Lemenka , Dedovichi, exterminated more than 2 thousand fascist soldiers and officers (of them personally, V. Egorov more than 200 [6] ), freed thousands of Soviet citizens from hijacking to Germany . In addition, 3,200 pounds of grain were seized from the enemy and distributed to the population. After the defeat of the Nazi invaders near Leningrad, at the invitation of the inhabitants of Leningrad on March 6, 1944, the partisan regiment of Yegorov marched around the city in a solemn march [4] . In 1944 he joined the CPSU (b) [1] .
By a decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR of April 2, 1944, for exemplary performance of command missions at the front of the struggle against Nazi invaders and the courage and heroism shown to this, Vladimir Vasilyevich Yegorov was awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union with the Order of Lenin and the Golden Star medal ( No. 3401) [1] .
Post-war period
In 1944, V.V. Egorov entered the Higher Naval Engineering School named after F.E. Dzerzhinsky , completed naval practice in submarines . In 1949 he graduated from college with a gold medal [7] . Partisan life in the forests and swamps affected Yegorov’s health - severe pain appeared in his right leg, and then gangrene began. Doctors concluded that there was no way to save the leg and that it was urgently necessary to amputate it. On December 31, 1949, on the day of Yegorov’s 26th birthday, doctors performed an operation [2] .
Since 1955, Egorov served in his native school as a teacher, and then as a senior teacher. In 1959 he graduated from the post- graduate course and continued to serve as head of the school's research laboratory. He became a candidate of technical sciences [8] , a captain of 1 rank-engineer. In 1970, he retired, but until 1981 he continued to work at the school as a senior research fellow [9] .
