Biography of Alexander Cherepanov

Major General General Lieutenant General First in this album Alexander Ivanovich Cherepanov. And he is the first simply because he is from the very first commanders of KA. As it became now known, everything was wrong, or not quite. Firstly, there were no victories, in the first battles there were defeats, and secondly they were not 23, but judging by February. What actually changes in the fate of A.

Cherepanov, but nothing! He, a participant in the 1st World War, and the former headquarters captain of the Russian Imperial Army, was the commander of the 2nd Red Army Regiment, who entered into clashes with the German army, advancing towards Petrograd, on these, not accurately established days. Even in the country there was the 1st Red Army Regiment, under the command of Dybenko P.

In February, the future marshals and army generals were still thinking where to go, for the whites, or behind the Reds, and at the same time they were not at the front. According to their biographies, at that time they partisa somewhere, or were engaged in party- accounting, reporting and propaganda activities. What was actually the partisans, and for whom these partisans were, in February, who knows.

Cherepanov did not think, did not rest after the war, but unequivocally commanded the regiment, which was at the front, and tried to stop the Germans' advance at St. Petersburg. He was wrapped in non -partisan, that he did not contribute to his career in Ka, joined the party, only in the year. Since the year, he is an adviser in China, in the year in a “limited contingent” of the warrior in Afghanistan, in the same year - a participant in the Manchu company.

In again in the warring China, the main military adviser. According to the recollections of the commander Breakov, he enjoyed great authority among the Chinese, as the only one of our advisers did without a translator, learned Chinese. This depicts him Lanova in the film “Officers” as our adviser in China, who speaks Chinese freely, the rest of our advisers communicated with the Chinese through translators.

However, Voroshilov’s time was gone, G. Zhukov, who does not complain to Voroshilov, changes him, he himself can appoint! But Cherepanov is appointed commander of the 23rd Army, standing on the old Finnish border, against the Army of Mannerheim. His position, according to the memoirs of those who served in 23 army, our military personnel did not feel such feelings for the Finns as the Germans.

More recently, there was a winter war in which Finland was selected from the Karelian Isthmus, now they returned it to themselves, and our soldiers felt some correctness of the Finns in this matter. Finnish soldiers, returning the Karelian Isthmus, considered their duty to be fulfilled. Mannerheim, of course, would love to ride a horse along Palace Square, but his soldiers did not want to die for it.

As a result, a strange war came on the Karelian Isthmus, from Moscow and Helsinki ordered to activate combat operations, and the actions were not activated. The soldiers of course shot and killed each other, but without fanaticism. At the same time, 23 army was on a hungry ration to supply shells, cartridges, heavy weapons. Everything went to the German front, but here it was proposed to hold positions with cunning.

However, in Moscow they nevertheless understood the benefit of the provision that created here, as a result of such actions, and Cherepanov commanded the army for almost 3 years, before he was needed in another place. In the summer of the year, when the 23rd army, together with the 21st army, having received everything necessary, hacking the deeply echeloned defense of the Finnish army, begins and leads a successful offensive, in the direction of the border of the year, and the officers and generals are already piercing holes under the orders, Cherepanov is removed from the army, and send to Bulgaria.

The result of this strange war, and the diplomatic efforts of the USSR, Finland, and Sweden, is the release of Finland from the Second World War already in the year. Finland is not bombing, not occupied, the world is established between the countries, and the boundary of the year is fixed, which is to this day the most calm area, on the huge border of our country.

And Cherepanov until November is located in Bulgaria. First, he is an assistant to Biryuzov, then he himself heads the Union Control Commission simply the occupation administration. At the same time, the British and Americans actively worked in Bulgaria.

And Cherepanov returned to Moscow and no longer fought. He was awarded the Order of Kutuzov 2 degrees. The statute of the Order records: the Order of Kutuzov II degree awards the commanders of corps, divisions, brigades and chiefs of staff. Cherepanov did not take such a position for the whole war. It is also written: the Order of Kutuzov I degrees awarded the commanders of fronts and armies, their deputies and chiefs of staff.

He was the commander of the 23rd Army for a year! Shvetsov, who replaced him at the post of commander of the 23rd Army, received the Order of Suvorov 1 degree. What was written in a reward sheet on Cherepanov, how he was awarded Kutuzov 2 degrees, and what did he feel when he received it? For Bulgaria, the commander of the Order was not according to the Statute, there rather the Order of Lenin was supposed to be, but did not happen.The Order of the October Revolution had to have, an active participant in the revolution and GV, but did not receive it, although this order was awarded everywhere, generally born after the revolution.

Why is it just about the award system. You look at the photo of the deputies for the rear, or the chiefs of communication, they have Suvorov, and the Kutuzovs, and the Khmelnitsky of all the degrees, and in considerable quantities. It becomes clear that the number of awards reflects not only the merits of a person, but also his proximity to the people who give these awards. Although, on the other hand, he apparently did not fall under repression, although for one thing that was together with Primakov in Afghanistan, they had to take.

Then he got down. Cherepanov will live a long life, he will die in a year, in his position, he could be buried in the Vvedensky or Kuntsevsky cemetery in Moscow. However, for some reason, he did not want to get into the generals pantheons, and bequeathed to bury him in Pskov, which was done. His grave in the square of the fallen wrestlers, well, is very modest, but the graves of the same as he were the commanders of the armies, Lieutenant General Gerelenko and Dukhanov, in the theological cemetery in St.

Petersburg, look even worse ... to share the link:.
