Biography Kolya Myagotin

In his homeland, in the Kurgan region, the streets and houses of culture were named him with his name, a monument was erected to him, and in his native village his house was turned into a museum. What did Kolya Myagotin do, why is he put on a par with Pavlik Morozov? And why does society are so ambiguous of this boy now, decades after his death? Life and death of Kolya Dyagotin: the Version of “Soviet” Nikolai Myagotin was born in a poor peasant family in the year, in the village of Kolesnikovo, Kurgan region.

He lost his father early, he died of cholera. The mother, who had small children in her arms, was forced to give the older Kolya to the orphanage, where he learned literacy and became a pioneer. When Kolya was 11 years old, he returned home, to his mother, began to work on the collective farm named after the VIII district house, continued his studies at school, and was an activist of the local pioneer organization.

He saw that fists in every possible way prevent the collective farm from developing, spoiling collective farm property and steal grain. And he repeatedly reported this to the local newspaper, and once wrote a statement to the village council in the post -Soviet era began to call such an initiative a denunciation. And then the fists decided to deal with the boy.

The crime is accused of fist Fotey Sychev and the Vakhrushev brothers. The Vakhrushevs persuaded their younger brother Petka to lure Kolya on the sunflower field, where Nikolai Myagotina was waiting for the eldest of Vakhrushevs, Ivan. He shot at the boy, but he did not succeed immediately. And when Petka said this to Fotheya, he went to the field and completed the case.

This happened in the year, Kolya was 14 years old. The court in the case of Kolya Myagotin sentenced five people to death, six - to 10 years in prison. The article was serious - for terrorist activities of Art. The version of the “post -Soviet” in the end of the 10th - early XX centuries, when it became fashionable to overthrow and expose the former heroes in the country, along with real criminals, the perpetrators of mass repressions, and children, including Pavlik Morozov and Koagotin.

If Pavlik was branded for knocking on his own father, then Kolya began to be classified almost as an ordinary bully, not even a pioneer. However, the statement that Kolya was not a pioneer was disputed by Tatyana Shcheblova, director of the Museum of Kolya Myagotin. Arriving in the beginning of the 10ths in Kolesnikovo and discovering the fall in interest in the museum and the personality of the Pioneer hero, she began to look for evidence of his life, to get acquainted with local newspapers for a year, worked in the archive, asked the elderly.

And Scheblova still proved that Kolya was a pioneer, and very active. In the heroism, the director of the museum also has no doubt, he really tried to fight the retractors of collective farm property. Tatyana Shcheblova found old -timers who told her that Kolya told her mother about the threats of the Vakhrushev brothers who called him for writing to the newspaper about their theft.

Everyone knew about it in the village. The prosecutor Boris Sakharov, who in the end of the 10ths was engaged in a revision of the case of the murder of Nikolai Myagotin, believes that there was no political subtext in this story. Kolya, like an ordinary village boy, went with a friend in the field to steal sunflowers, and a drunken watchman shot a child. And then he was simply finished off to cover the traces.

Without an ideological husk, it is clear that now that all participants in this long history are dead, not to get to the bottom of the truth. It was Kolya Myagotin killed by his fists and seduckers or his death became a tragic accident - we will not recognize this. It is only obvious that the Soviet government made Pavlik Morozov and Kolya Myagotin by the heroes of the struggle against the kulaks is not accidental.

They were from the generation of those boys and girls of the end of the 10th - early 10ths, who sincerely believed in a bright socialist future and involuntarily became victims of the clash of the old and the new. And it is also no coincidence that Pavlik and Kolya became victims of political showdowns of the early 10ths. Fighters with Stalinism did not spare the children, declaring one a snuff for one, and the other with an ordinary thief and a bully.

This is another example of the fact that children always become the main victims during conflicts of adults. In the year, in the case of the murder of Nikolai Myagotin, everyone was rehabilitated, except for two direct crime executors who replaced the article with a criminal - murder under aggravating circumstances of Part.
