In fact, it was necessary to have outstanding abilities and exceptional courage in order to achieve the honors that he deserved on the battlefields of the World War. Growing up, Ivan loved to listen to how the old people about wars and campaigns tell, on the stanitsa teachings, famously chopped a vine and clay.

My father boasted: “My Ivan Wahmistr will be,” and his grandfather took higher: “Esaul should not have thought then a young Cossack that he would pass for several years, and he would honor the whole army, and then, after the fever of the Civil War, he would be in the rank of Esaul in distant China. At the age of 19, Ivan married the Cossack Maria Fyodorovna, and they had a daughter in a year.

Alexandra. The commission identified-in the 3rd Ufa-Samar regiment of the Orenburg Cossack army. The regiment was part of the Cavalry Division of General Kaledin. The service went well, Ivan quickly mastered a military craft. He was praised by a wahmister, the commanders noted. Having graduated from the training team, the savvy Cossack soon became the junior officer.

The command appreciated the zeal of the Cossack, and on March 6, he was promoted to senior officers. The war found the regiment not far from the town of Volochisk. Since then, for several years, Ivan Pashnin had to hear and fulfill hundreds of combat orders. The officer Ivan Pashnin took part in these and a number of other battles. Behind the backs of others did not hide, was a brave selfless, showing rare courage and judgment.

Only six months of hostilities passed, and the name Pashnin became a symbol of pride for the Orenburg Cossacks. There were legends about him in which reality intertwined with folk fiction. The Orenburg researcher A. Krivoshchekov said this: "Folk fantasy is inexhaustible: loves the people legend, is fond of it, rests on it with my soul, sincerely believing that all evil will be punished sooner or later, and courage, daring will receive a proper reward." As you know, the first award of the St.

George Cross in the real Great War received the Don Cossack Kuzma Kryuchkov. Our Cossacks also serve with no less valor and courage. If the lobe of the Dontsov fell the happiness of getting the first St. George Cross in the current war, so but our Pashnin managed to receive four St. George Cross of the entire cavalry and Cossacks. Honor and glory to him for that! His Imperial Highness August Commander -in -Chief Grand Duke Nikolai Nikolaevich, appreciating Pashnin’s merits in front of the king and homeland, ordered him to reward him for the approximate valor of high blood.

I am gladly informing the department entrusted to me, I congratulate the stanniks with this great happiness that fell to our share, and once again proved in practice that the emperor loves and appreciates our glorious army of Orenburg. His sons have always been, are and will be unshakable, devoted to the servants of the king and the fatherland to the last drop of blood. In order to perpetuate this rare, high importance, the event in the edification, I suggest to reward to the stanitsa, for my part, your glorious hero Pashnin with an appropriate gift, for which I would think to give him a honorary checker, whose scabbard is to decorate with gold, with an following inscription on the blade: “The 3rd military department of the Orenburg Cossack army, to his premature son, The first of the whole cavalry and Cossacks to the St.

George Cavalier of all four degrees of the senior officer of the Miass village Ivan Vasilievich Pashnin, year. " The checker will cost rubles. I am sure that this offer will be adopted by stanitsa with pleasure. I prescribe the real order to read on regimental settlements and in all schools, and donations to purchase an honorary checker and money in the department of the department.

"It is not surprising that this order caused a lot of conversations and made a sensation. It was not clear from it, for which, in fact, Pashnin was awarded such high awards and honors. The rumors were multiplying. He made his way to the enemy location and blew up the railway bridge, which was important in the other time, as if he had captured the Austrian general.

The framework of "ordinary" feats. Thus, the rumor about the capture of the enemy general turned into a whole story of Pashnin’s salvation to the Grand Duke to the very prince: “There was a strong battle, and at the end of the matter they put our Cossacks on the attack. Gilled fellow, scattered into the lava, hit the enemy and began to put him in hundreds. They did not withstand the Germanic and rushed to run.

And the Cossacks were so fragmented that the Cossacks were before the Cossacks. They crumble them and did not notice how to break into the camp. To open, and the Cossack already pulled him out of Sich, took his saber, twisted his hands and brought to his superiors. This manner was sent by Pashnin with his general. Well, of course, they allowed them directly to the Grand Duke, to whom the Cossack suggested everything, as it was and handed over the general saber.

The GPA-chief asked something from the Austrian, returned his weapon to him and said: "Russian lying do not beat. As an honest warrior and a person, I give you your saber, although they say that you, de, love to fight more around the corner." The general took the saber. Our adjutant began to interrogate him and record him, and the Grand Duke turned away and began to read some kind of report.

Suddenly the general grabbed his saber and wanted to hit Nikolai Nikolaevich from behind. Pashnin stood behind this general, too, with a shackle and, only the general managed to pull out the saber, as he was not bad, as Austrian chopped down, so his head rolled down the floor. This and saved the Grand Duke from great danger. Nikolai Nikolaevich thanked the brave Cossack, put on him a cross of the first degree and put him on his horse.

Since then, Pashnin has been traveling on this road, and all the generals and officers give him honor and give a pen of healthy, "for what really received his awards by the Orenburg hero Ivan Pashnin? We turn to the documents. Each cross is the stage of the combat path of a valiant Cossack. He himself also took part in the attack. ”What he had brilliantly.” A lot of brilliant affairs were on the account of the Ufa-Samar Cossack Regiment, in the ranks of which our hero went to the war.

And, although, as we see, he did not commit the feats that the popular rumor attributed him to him, Ivan Pashnin, a full St. George Cavalier, proudly wore honored crosses on his chest. The exploits of the subjugate Pashnin in many battles were also marked by St. George medals of all four degrees of 4 tbsp. In the history of the Russian Cossacks, his name is forever associated with the fact that he really became the first of the Cossacks during the Great War to the full St.

George Cavalier. At the age of 28, Pashnin "For Combat Differences in Affairs Against the Enemy" was produced in the officer rank of warrant officer. In the year, a young officer who returned to his native lands is elected ataman of the villages of Kharino and Pashnino I and II, later the chieftain of the Miasian village. But a peaceful life did not last long for them.

The civil war forced to saddle the horse, take a gilded saber and, kissing his wife and children, dissolve in one of the nights.

The prince of the Cossack hero, along with other relatives of the Beloksakov, was sent to Ufa. After eight months of humiliation, moving Tif, she was released. Maria Fedorovna died in the year, until the last days without losing hope for a meeting with her husband. During the Great Patriotic War, the brother of Ivan - Mikhail and his son died. But the grandson of the famous Cossack Viktor Ivanovich Pashnin was distinguished in peacetime in the labor field, marked for his peasant work by three orders of labor glory.
