Father, Georgy Nikolaevich Aksakov (1873-1914) - from the Kaluga-Moscow branch of the clan: on June 2, 1881 he, along with his brothers Vasily and Pavel, was included in the second part of the noble genealogy of the Moscow province ; shortly after the birth of his son, G.N. Aksakov was approved as the bailiff of the Kaluga District Court for the Medyn Uyezd . Mother, Maria Mikhailovna Lebedeva (1880-1966) - daughter of a notary in Belev , along with her son Mikhail was also included in the second part of the noble genealogy of the Moscow province on October 25, 1914 [1] .

In 1921 he entered the motor school in Yegoryevsk and became a member of the Russian Communist Youth Union , where he was until 1927, until he dropped out by age. Then he graduated from the Leningrad Theoretical School of the Air Force and in 1926 - Borisoglebsk Military Aviation School .
At the end of the school, Mikhail Aksakov was sent to the North Caucasus Military District - to Rostov-on-Don . In a short time, he perfectly mastered various types of aircraft and two years later was already the commander of the 9th separate detachment of the 26th fighter aviation squadron. In the fall of 1929, as part of a squadron led by I. Ya. Leitzinger, Aksakov was sent on an R-1 aircraft to provide support in resolving the military conflict on the CER ; October 31, 1930 was awarded the Order of the Red Banner .
In April 1930, Mikhail Georgievich Aksakov was appointed commander of a detachment of a separate aviation squadron in Smolensk , on October 31, 1933 he was transferred to Bobruisk - commander of the 33rd fighter aviation squadron, and on May 31, 1935 he became commander of the 117th fighter aviation squadron, which was part of the composition of the 92nd fighter aviation brigade, which a year later began to be commanded by his friend P.M. Monarcho . The brigade was part of the Moscow air defense system and was based in Lyubertsy . Soon, on February 15, 1936, Mikhail Aksakov received the rank of major.
In 1937, mass arrests began among the military; The NKVD officers were tasked with “developing a picture of a large and deep conspiracy in the Red Army”. The head of the Air Defense of the Red Army M.E. Medvedev was arrested, and two weeks earlier, on April 22, 1937, M.G. Aksakov [2] . He was charged with being a member of the counter-revolutionary wrecking Trotskyist organization in Moscow’s air defense system. According to the investigation, the organization set the task of "undermining the defense capability of the proletarian capital," and on its instructions, Aksakov conducted "systematic subversive work aimed at incapacitating the 117th air squadron by systematically disrupting training missions on combat training." Even before the trial, the punishment in the form of the execution of Aksakov was predetermined: in the “List of Persons Subject to the Court of the Military Collegium of the Supreme Court of the USSR” on January 3, 1938, Mikhail Aksakov was listed in the 1st category [3] , which meant the inevitable execution. This list, consisting of 75 people, was signed by I.V. Stalin , K.E. Voroshilov , V.M. Molotov, and L.M. Kaganovich . The trial of M. G. Aksakov took place on February 9, 1938; the defendant pleaded not guilty, the data at the preliminary investigation rejected the testimony. Nevertheless, the Military Collegium of the Supreme Court of the USSR sentenced Mikhail Georgievich Aksakov to capital punishment - execution. The sentence was carried out on February 10, 1938 [4] . In 1956, M. G. Aksakov was rehabilitated.
