Alexander Bogolyubov biography

And today we are going towards the great event, the anniversary of the victory of our people. The next year for the inhabitants of Chuvashia, he was marked by the flight from the birth of a legendary fellow countryman-Hero of the Soviet Union, Colonel General Alexander Bogolyubov. Alexander Nikolaevich was born on May 16 29 in Cheboksary, his parents baptized him in the Crystarian Church.

Unfortunately, it was demolished, located approximately where cruise liners are moored today. The Cross -City Church of the city of Cheboksary. Photo sobory. The year of his birth, the time of moving to Cheboksary, information about parents were not known. It was unclear, and who is our hero by nationality, Alexander Nikolaevich. Stalin wrote in his notes that Chuvash, and in autobiography, Alexander Bogolyubov pointed out - Russian.

From the family of the clergyman, I went to the Chuvash State Historical Archive. He studied the metric books of the Kazan Spiritual Consistory in the Guryevsky Church of the village of Bogatyrevo of the Yadrinsky district of the Kazan province from the years. And he discovered the following: the father of Alexander, Nikolai Matveev, was born on December 4, baptized on December 5 in the Guryevsky church of the village of Bogatyrevo.

I will quote the notes from the Metric Book: “The village of Bogatyrevo, Deacon Matvey Semenov Bogatyrev and the legal wife of his Nadezhda Ivanova in a legitimate marriage was born a son: Nikolai, he is December 4 5. Receiver: from the village of Bogatyrevo Deacon Ivan Romanov. Baptized the priest Semyon Livatov. " Guryevskaya Church in the village of Bogatyrevo.

Photo fond-am. By nationality, he is Russian, at that time the Russians basically served in churches. Pay attention to the fact that Matvey Semenov was written by the name of Bogatyrev, and his real name is Semenov Matvey Semenovich. He took another surname, perhaps because of the village in which he lived. In his youth, Nikolai Matveevich left for the city of Cheboksary, he also received a specialty, worked as an assistant mechanic on a ship in the Cheboksary river port.

He married a girl from the city of Cheboksary, Nadezhda Ivanovna Ivanova, the year of birth. The couple was married to the Crusaders of the Church. Nikolai Matveevich, when marriage, took the surname Bogolyubov. Before that, he had no surname, like the vast majority of peasants at the end of the 19th century. Nadezhda Ivanovna was born in a working large family, received primary education.

Nikolai Matveevich fell ill with tuberculosis and died at 42, Alexander was only four years old. The younger brothers Ivan, Boris and sister Maria remained. Alexander, as the eldest in the family, had to work hard. Mother, Nadezhda Ivanovna, worked at the distillery, worked as a laundry with laundry and harvesting of master's apartments. Nadezhda Ivanovna died in the year at the age of 90.

The Museum of Maternal Glory in Cheboksary contains a letter from Colonel General Bogolyubov, addressed to Nadezhda Ivanovna, in which he congratulates her on the fly. It can be seen how Alexander Nikolaevich is reverently and carefully treated by his mother ... Veterans in the village of Bogatyrevo, where father A. Photo from the author’s personal archive was also born in metric books prompted that Matvey Semenovich Bogatyrev, grandfather Alexander Nikolaevich, was born in the year.

After graduating from the parish school, the Theological Seminary, he worked in the Crusaders of the Church in the city of Cheboksary, then he was sent to the Guryevsky Church of the village of Bogatyrevo, Yadrinsky district, Dyakon. By the way, the temple was built with the expense of parishioners in the year and named after the holy archbishop of Kazan Guria.

In what year Matvey Semenovich married Nadezhda Ivanova, he has not yet found out. For this, it is necessary to go to the capital of Tatarstan, to the Kazan State Historical Archive. But he managed to find out that he was married twice. Two children were born from Nadezhda Ivanova: Maria and Nikolai Nadezhda Ivanova died of illness in the year. Matvey Semenovich married at 42 years old Elena Vasilyeva.

They had seven children: the last child - in the year, when his father was 57 years old. Matvey Semenovich died at 70 from old age, was buried in the territory of the Guryevsky Church in the village of Bogatyrevo. From a telegraph operator to a colonel general in the year, Alexander Nikolaevich graduated from the Cheboksary Higher Emergency School, now in this building is the Cheboksary Art School, four-month courses of the postal and telegraph worker and became a sorter of letters.

When in the summer of the year, Belochekhs and the White Guards raised the rebellion, captured Kazan, Bogolyubov voluntarily joined the Red Army was appointed telegraph operator at the headquarters of the Second Army of the Eastern Front, took part in its composition in the civil war. Alexander Nikolaevich graduated from several military educational institutions.

In the year - the Military Academy of the General Staff. Since the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, Colonel Bogolyubov served as the chief of the operational department of the headquarters of the reserve front, and in October he was appointed chief of staff of the army. In August, Major General Bogolyubov was transferred to the post of deputy chief of operational department of the General Staff, and in September he was again appointed chief of staff of the Army.In December, Alexander Nikolaevich became the first deputy chief of the operational department of the General Staff, after which he was the chief of staff of several fronts: the north-west from March to November 11, 1st Ukrainian from November 11 to April 24 and 2nd Belorussky from May 5 to June.

In June, Alexander Nikolaevich was appointed chief of staff of the Northern Group of Troops. From October to August, he was the head of the operational-tactical cycle, department and deputy head of the M. Military Academy named after M. From March to August GO, assistant to the Commander -in -Chief of the Far East forces, from September to October GO - deputy head of the Main Directorate of Combat and Physical Training of the Ground Forces.

In October, Colonel General Bogolyubov went into the reserve. Alexander Nikolaevich died on February 28 in Moscow and was buried in the Novodevichy cemetery. How descendants live we managed to visit the village of Bogatyrevo. We met with administration workers, local residents. They do not know so much about Alexander Bogolyubov. We visited the house where the father of Alexander Nikolaevich was born.

Now the distant relatives of Bogolyubov live there, at least, so the villagers say. Of course, the house was not preserved, in its place - another, good. Nearby and the church. It is closed for repairs, residents of Bogatyrevo are preparing to celebrate her summer.

In the village there is Bogolyubov Street, named after Alexander Nikolaevich. Next to the administration is a memorial dedicated to the participants in the Great Patriotic War, but there is no separate memorial plate or bust of our hero. His son Alexander Sergeyevich is a candidate of sciences, married to a girl from the city of Cheboksary. The eldest son of Alexander Nikolaevich died, his children live in the Kursk region: a daughter - in the city of Stary Oskol, his son - in the city of Rylsk.

After the APU attack on the Kursk region, the whole street in Rylsk, where the Bogolyubovs lived, is bombed, there is not a single surviving house. The family managed to evacuate to Kursk, to the relatives. Where to be a monument to the Chuvash regional branch of the All -Russian Public Organization “Russian Union of Veterans” has been dealing with issues of perpetuating the memory of the famous military leader for several years.

In particular, the asset made the initiative to install the monument to Alexander Bogolyubov in Cheboksary. In November, a meeting of the commission on this issue was held. Several options were considered. A majority of votes approved the territory adjacent to the Central Department Store’s shopping center - to place a bust. The project of the installation of a bust A. Bogolyubov on K.

Marx Street, photo of the administration of Cheboksary yes, the site is located in the city center. But it is small in area, located between roads with intensive traffic and parking. In our opinion, it will be difficult to take measures with the participation of cadets and unarmers here. I would like the discussion of the issue to continue. For example, there is a proposal to establish a bust of Alexander Bogolyubov on the Heroes Alley, in the Victory memorial park.

For my part, I note that work on the study of the biography of the famous countryman-warrior and perpetuating his memory will be carried out further. Residents of the republic should know their hero. Vasily Mikhailovich Lavrentiev, deputy chairman of the Russian Union of Veterans, according to the press service of the Cheboksar administration, at the place of installation of the Hero of the Soviet Union Alexander Bogolyubov, the Office of Architecture and Urban Planning recommended to break the square with an alley of apple trees and improve the adjacent territory.
