Sergey Tambov biography

Article 15, “For Seryoga Popov! But life convinces of the opposite: do not postpone it for later - it is necessary to pay tribute now to our guys, who laid their lives for the Fatherland, for us with you. Photo: Alexey Buchnev names of fighters perpetuate in the name of the streets on which they lived; in memorial boards on schools where they studied; In museum expositions.

Through time, their names on the pages of a modern bitter book of memory will reach future generations. In the meantime, our duty is to tell about their life and the last step into immortality. Tell those who remained to live and will remember. For my own my own and the Fatherland, I’m going to a long -loved and close to me village. Once, more than two hundred years ago, it was founded by a part of the inhabitants of the White Sloboda of the bald mountains, which is why the name is the corresponding-white-seat twins.

This time, the village met me with a background, a dull gray sky, a prickly wind and absolute deserts on the streets. To match the weather and in my soul, not releasing anxiety and harsh questions: “Are I in time? After all, I went to the house where the trouble came, and for the eternal forever settled grief. I went to the parents of the guy who died during the special operation of the guy Nikolai Aleksandrovich and Olga Petrovna Popov met well from the heart, showed a solid house, a considerable household, where a tractor, a horse, a horse, and other animals, and for the soul - the handsome pigeons.

There was a fragrant tea and an unhurried conversation, and a family chronicle in numerous photographs. I peered into the faces of Nikolai and Olga, in fact, very young people, and I could not help but marry their courage, their ability to remain kind, not to shake, not to fenced off everyone and everything. Gradually, the mosaic of the life of an ordinary Russian guy from the village in Prambovye took shape.

Life is short, like the stars of the extinguished flight, and at the same time bright and unique in their own way. Life given "for its own and fatherland." Born in white -seated double in m, studied at a local school. It was known inquisitive, study was easily given. Most of all he appreciated friendship, he always considered help to a comrade to the main duty.

His kindness, responsiveness is noted by his first teacher Zoya Ivanovna Levina and the class teacher Natalia Viktorovna Khanina. And they also said that, perhaps, there was not a single school event where Sergey would not be a participant, and most often a tower, whether it was the landing of the trees of the future Victory Park in the village or the organization of an amateur concert.

And the physical education teacher and OBZh Viktor Nikolaevich Kochukov adds that he was excellent athlete, rarely returned from volleyball competitions, football, and skiing without prizes and awards. In school parades and rulers, he is a banner, and in the games "Zarnitsa", "Search" - a permanent captain. And this is also an intense sense of justice. Very often one could hear from him: "...

so honestly ...". There was no doubt further: he would surely achieve, so that it was honest, in fairness. From early childhood, Sergei was drawn to technology, not without the participation of his father, not only love for engines, but also practical skills was formed. The teenager repaired his friends with mopeds and motorcycles, and a high school student already adjusted the valves on the cars of rustic motorists.

Therefore, the choice to continue studying at the Tambov College of technology and technology of ground transport named after Solntsev is not accidental. He studied well, was responsible for the development of a future specialty. It was in the family, the school, and later in the technical school, the character of the guy, his life priorities and values ​​were formed.

Thoroughly, but without unnecessary words and window dressings, a sense of duty, love for his homeland, developed. Could not help. From scratch, nothing is added out of nothing, and the heroes are not born. The house has always lived in the house and today continues to live about Sergey’s great -grandfathers: Alexei Ryazanov, Sapero in the Great Patriotic War, who died from the wounds after the war at 21, about the missing brother Nikolai Fedorovich, about Popov Danil Fedorovich, who freed Warsaw, and with dashing Cavalier Fyodor Petrovich, who passed the roads of the war to the roads from the war to the roads to the roads Berlin.

From the school stands, his fellow villagers, who passed Afghanistan and the North Caucasus, including those who did not return from these wars, looked at him. There is no need to talk about college - six heroes of the Soviet Union came out of its walls. Examples of true service to the Motherland have always been nearby. The urgent was the case to serve the BTR driver in the tank brigade in the Nizhny Novgorod region, and after a year on February 3, he will write a report to the contract under the contract.

What moved him to this step? It is unlikely that we will find the answer now. But he probably knew that the conflict was not far off, and the fighting in the DPR and the LPR has been going on for more than a year, and our participation in them was not a secret. After 20 days, the beginning of a special military operation was announced. A desperate battle directly in the hostilities, from the 10th of June, fought under the raisins.

According to colleagues, being a driver of an armored personnel carrier equipped with a mobile radio station, in fact saved them.After adjusting the fire of our artillery, they were trampled by the enemy and fell under the fluid shelling. Virtuiiously driving a machine, at an outrageous speed, Sergey was able to avoid direct hits and break out of the shelling zone. The battles went continuously, and not all successful for our troops.

Sergei matured and even in photographs of that time looks much older than his age. And in the soul of changes: in letters and during the short -term vacation, careful and touching attitude towards parents, genuine love and attention to the younger brothers Alexander and Ivan, to other relatives and friends. As if afraid not to be in time, not loving, not to give his own warmth.

With the beginning of September, it was especially hot under the raisins. We were forced to retreat. There was an opportunity to go to Belgorod to repair damaged equipment, but he said: "... I stay with the guys ...". In the battle near Petropavlovka, one of our units led a desperate battle in a half -reduction. They radiated that ammunition is running out. The command could not take responsibility and give an official order to help them.

The surrounded were, in fact, doomed, the score went for minutes. It was then that Private Popov put together and headed a group of volunteers. By loading the armored personnel carrier ammunition, they rushed to the rescue. According to eyewitnesses, out of among those who managed to break out of the environment later, everything happened before their eyes. A squall fire fell on the BTR, and after a while it was hit.

They saw how Sergey pulled out four of his wounded friends from the damaged car, transferred them under the trees of forest belts and began to bandage them. Of the many ruptures rumbling nearby, once exploded very close. None of the five volunteers could survive, so lived, fought and passed away by a Russian guy from Private Seryozha Popov. From our hearts it will not leave only and will not be in memory.

A memorial plaque appeared at his native school, an exposition is being prepared at the Museum of the History of Transport and Roads of the Tambov Region in his college. Still, Lugovaya Street in his native village, where he was born and raised, call him a name! From the colleagues of Sergei from the tank brigade, a video came to the White Sea twin, in which the self -propelled gun leads the artillery duel, and the names and surnames of their dead friends on the sent shells.

And the commander's voice: “... for Maxim Novikov! For ………… ..! For Seryoga Popov!
