The commissar of the Sumy-Vinnitsa partisan formation D. T. Burchenko describes his intelligence commissar, senior lieutenant E. Volyansky: - “Volyansky is a real idol of youth. And, however, almost all partisans of the compound knew and loved him. He was a brave scout, a calm, judicious fighter who did not get lost in any situation. He performed the most difficult and risky tasks of the command. Eugene could in winter, without fear of icy water, reach the opposite bank of the river, he could, if necessary, freeze in the ice, lie for hours without movement in front of the Nazis, just not to betray himself and his comrades. He knew how to stay awake when others could no longer cope with a nap. And, on the contrary, he could fall asleep, hardly a suitable minute of calm was given out for this. To all this, Volyansky was a cheerful and witty guy, a wonderful comrade whom you can always rely on. For their commissar, the fighters went on the most difficult tasks. "(D. Burchenko, T.
