Biography
Ivan Savelyevich Pryakhin was born on December 30, 1922 in the village of Shoksha, Temnikovsky district, Tambov province of the RSFSR of the USSR (now the village of Tengushevsky district of the Republic of Mordovia of the Russian Federation ) into a peasant family. Mordvin Shoksha . He graduated from primary school [1] . Worked in agriculture. In 1938, Ivan Savelyevich moved to the town of Kovrov, Ivanovo Region [2] . He worked as an excavator in the Kovrov construction company of the Ivanovo construction trust, a road worker in the construction office of the Gorky Railway , a laborer at the Kovrovsky plant number 2 named after KO Kirkizha [3] .
In the fall of 1941, the fascist German troops rushed to Moscow , and the Soviet government decided to prepare the Kovrov machine-gun factory for evacuation. I. S. Pryakhin, as part of a group of factory workers, was sent to Tyumen to prepare an industrial site on which factory workshops were to be located. During the Moscow battle, the enemy was thrown off from the walls of the capital, and it was not necessary to evacuate the enterprise. In February 1942, the Tyumen district military registration and enlistment office of the Omsk Region [4] I. S. Pryakhin was drafted into the ranks of the Workers 'and Peasants' Red Army . Ivan Savelyevich graduated from the school of junior commanders, after which he was sent to the Sukhoi Log , where the 167th Infantry Division was being formed , and was appointed gunner of a mounted machine gun of a machine -gun company of the 520th Infantry Regiment. On July 2, 1942, the 167th Infantry Division arrived at the Voronezh Front and was included in the operational group of Lieutenant-General N. E. Chibisov . Ivan Savelyevich received his baptism of fire on July 21, 1942 in a battle near Malaya Vereika . With the beginning of the Voronezh-Voroshilovgrad defensive operation, parts of the division took up defenses north of Voronezh near the village of Bolshaya Vereik , and held their positions until the beginning of 1943 as part of the 38th Army . By the beginning of the Voronezh-Kastorny operation, Ivan Savelevich was already the commander of the machine-gun crew.
In the winter of 1943, Sergeant I. Pryakhin took part in the operation to encircle and liquidate units of the 2nd Wehrmacht Army near Kastornaya , then fought in the Third Battle of Kharkov . From March 1943 to 1943, the 167th Infantry Division defended itself in the south-west face of the Kursk Bulge in the Sumy District of the Sumy Region . By the summer of 1943, Ivan Savelyevich was promoted to senior sergeant and took command of the machine gun department of the 3rd Infantry Battalion of his regiment. The battalion in full force distinguished itself on June 19, 1943 in the battle for the village of Bititsa , demonstrating examples of resilience and courage in repelling the attack of numerically superior enemy forces. Many soldiers of the battalion were awarded medals "For Courage" , including the senior sergeant I. S. Pryakhin, who destroyed 27 Wehrmacht soldiers and an enemy firing point with the fire of his machine gun. In August 1943, Ivan Savelyevich took part in the Belgorod-Kharkiv offensive operation , during which the 167th Infantry Division broke through the enemy defenses near the village of Velikaya Chernetchina and reached the Psel line, covering the right flank of the advancing forces of the Voronezh Front. Senior Sergeant I. S. Pryakhin particularly distinguished himself in the Battle of the Dnieper .
Having defeated the fascist German forces of the Kursk battle , the Red Army, practically without a pause, launched an operation to liberate Left-Bank Ukraine , within which the troops of the Voronezh Front conducted the Sumsko-Prilukskaya front-line operation . On September 1, 1943, a machine-gun company of the 520th Infantry Regiment was among the first to force the Psel River near the village of Velikaya Chernetchina and to occupy the height of the village of Green Guy , ensuring the crossing of the main forces of its regiment. On September 2, 1943, the regiment stormed over the village of Topali north of Sumy , creating the conditions for a successful operation to reach the city from the north. Being under the threat of encirclement, the enemy began a swift withdrawal of troops from the regional center, as a result of which Sumy was completely liberated. The German forces were able to render organized resistance only at the approaches to the city of Romny . During the fierce battle of Romny on September 15, 1943, senior sergeant I. S. Pryakhin and his squad managed to get close to the enemy’s positions and machine-gun fire destroyed up to 30 enemy soldiers. The Germans took a handful of daredevils into the ring, but the machine-gunners Pryakhin at the expense of properly organized fire easily came out of the encirclement, without losing a single soldier and completely retaining the material part. At the closest approaches to Romnam, the enemy equipped a superstructure at the nameless height, which supervised the divisions of the regiment, preventing them from advancing. Senior Sergeant Pryakhin volunteered to destroy the enemy firing point. Ivan Savelyevich, under a hurricane fire, managed to get close to the Sub-Department Building Institute and destroy it with grenades. On the evening of September 15, 1943, the 3rd Infantry Battalion crossed the Sulu River and began a battle on the outskirts of the city. The firing point, which the enemy equipped in the attic of one of the houses, prevented him from consolidating within the city limits. Having advanced to the line of fire, Ivan Savelyevich with a return fire destroyed the enemy machine gun together with the calculation, which enabled the battalion to gain a foothold in the city outskirts. In an effort to knock out the Soviet part of the city, the Germans launched a fierce counterattack. In the area where the senior sergeant's branch, I. S. Pryakhin, was defended, the enemy threw into the battle to the infantry company, but despite the numerical superiority could not move a single step. Due to the correct placement of fire weapons and the persistence of the personnel, Ivan Savelevich and his fighters retained the occupied lines until the approach of the main forces of the regiment. By midnight on September 15, 1943, the city of Romny was completely cleared of the Nazi invaders.
Pursuing a retreating enemy, at the end of September 1943, units of the 38th Army reached the Dnieper and defeated the remnants of up to seven divisions of German fascist troops defending on the left bank of the river in Darnitsa . On the night of October 2, 1943, among the first, senior sergeant I. S. Pryakhin and his squad forced the Dnieper near the village of Vyshgorod . When the bridgehead was captured, he destroyed more than 50 enemy soldiers with a machine gun fire and suppressed the fire of four firing points. The department of senior sergeant Pryakhin firmly entrenched on the captured bridgehead, which allowed the main forces of the 3rd Infantry Battalion to force the Dnieper with minimal losses. For the successful crossing of the Dnieper River, the strong consolidation of the bridgehead on the west bank of the Dnieper River and the courage and heroism shown by this decree of the Presidium of the USSR Supreme Council of November 13, 1943, Senior Sergeant Pryakhin Ivan Savelievich was awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union.
Ivan Savelevich learned about the awarding at the time of discharge from the medical battalion where he was injured after being wounded on October 11, 1943 in the battle of Novi Petrivtsi . I.S. Pryakhina was sent to short-term army courses of junior lieutenants, after which he returned to his regiment and took command of a platoon of machine-gun company of the 3rd infantry battalion. But Ivan Savelyevich did not immediately succeed in expressing himself in a new position. In the first battle of February 11, 1944, he was wounded and again found himself in a hospital bed. After healing, he returned to his unit, which fought as part of the 1st Guards Army of the 1st Ukrainian Front , and took part in the Proskurov-Chernivtsi operation . During the preparation of the summer offensive of the Red Army in Western Ukraine, the 520th Infantry Regiment of the 167th Infantry Division led positional battles in the Chortkiv district of the Tarnopol region . On June 26, 1944, Junior Lieutenant I. S. Pryakhin took part in reconnaissance near the village of Palashovka . When the enemy counterattacked the units involved in the reconnaissance, the machine-gunners Pryakhin squatted down the waste of their units with heavy fire and thwarted the enemy’s advance, exterminating up to 40 soldiers and officers of the enemy.
On August 5, 1944, the 1st Guards Army was transferred to the 4th Ukrainian Front . In the course of the Lvov-Sandomir operation, Ivan Savelyevich and his fighters participated in the liberation of the city of Drohobych . Then he fought on the territory of Czechoslovakia and southern Poland , taking part in the Eastern Carpathian , Western Carpathian and Moravian-Ostrava operations, as part of his unit liberated the cities of Nowy Targ and Moravian-Ostrava . Fighting path Ivan Savelevich completed May 9, 1945 in the liberated Prague . In February 1946, Lieutenant I. S. Pryakhin retired to the reserve. For some time he lived in the village of Shoksha of the Mordovian ASSR , and in 1954 with his family moved to the city of Vladimir . Ivan Savelievich died on June 13, 1983.
