June 22, 1941 - one of the most mournful dates in the history of Russia - the beginning of the Great Patriotic War. This day reminds us of all those who died in this war. We mourn those who took the first blow of the offensives of Nazi Germany, those who fought at the fronts and partisans in detachments, those who heroically worked in the rear and those who were driven to Germany and tortured to death in concentration camps - everyone who saw and realized the horrors of fascism.

To this momentous date The Central Regional Library has prepared a book exhibition - the memory of "That very first day of the war ...".

At the exhibition, readers are offered books, magazine and newspaper articles about the beginning of the war, about the heroism and self-sacrifice of Soviet soldiers, the courage and resilience of ordinary Soviet citizens, about children who helped the front with their work and bravery, as well as diaries and memoirs of war participants, illustrated materials , fiction, letters from the front.

It's been 72 years since the war died down, best books our writers from all sides illuminated this tragedy, the bitterness of defeat and joy great Victory May 1945

But the theme of the Great Patriotic War was and remains one of the leading in the literature of the past and present. At present, many wonderful works of art by contemporary authors about the Great Patriotic War have appeared, as the librarians of the Central Regional Library told about this, having visited the Verkhneuslonsky boarding house for the elderly and disabled on June 22 with an information hour "About the war after the war."

On June 22, the Regional Children's Library hosted an interactive quiz "In the predawn hour".

The participants of the event listened with bated breath to the recording of the announcement of the beginning of the war, said by Levitan. From the librarian's story, the children learned about how the Great Patriotic War began. As 76 years ago, on June 22, 1941, the pre-dawn silence was suddenly torn apart by the explosions of roaring shells. Then no one knew that it would go down in the history of mankind as the bloodiest one. Nobody guessed that the Soviet people would have to go through inhuman trials, go through and win. To rid the world of fascism, showing everyone that the spirit of a Red Army soldier cannot be broken by the invaders. No one could have imagined that the names of the hero cities would become known to the whole world, that Stalingrad would become a symbol of the resilience of our people, Leningrad - a symbol of courage, the Brest Fortress - a symbol of courage. That, on a par with male warriors, old men, women and children will heroically defend their homeland from the Nazis.

Overshadowed by the blaze of the victorious banner,
A tired soldier sat down on the steps of the Reichstag.
He took off his cap like a toiler after work,
Wiping beads of hot sweat from his forehead.
He put down his machine gun, dust off his tunic,
"I poured a pinch of tobacco from the pouch ...
I looked again, as over the enemy's capital
Our banner shines in the spring wind,
I rolled my cigarette, inhaled calmly
And he said: "This is how any wars will end."

But the world has come - breathe, people,
Having crossed the threshold of war.

June 22, 1941 - one of the saddest dates in our history, the beginning of the Great Patriotic War.

The memorable date "Day of Memory and Mourning" was established by the Decree of the President of Russia of June 8, 1996, as a tribute to the memory of the victims of the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945, as well as the victims of all wars for the freedom and independence of Russia.

Young readers of the Regional Children's Library took part in the interactive quiz "And in the book memory of the moments of war".

The guys learned that June 22 is a date in the calendar, which is forever inscribed in the heroic chronicle of our country. This day will eternally discard our memory by 1941, and therefore by May 9, 1945. There is a strong thread between two dates. She tied together years of horror, hardship and hard work. And our people did everything, it would seem, even impossible, for the Victory.

The participants of the event, answering the questions of the quiz, showed good knowledge history of their homeland. An overview of the book exhibition of the same name was presented to their attention.

In the Nizhneuslonsk rural library a lesson in memory "For that guy" was held, dedicated to fighter pilot Dmitry Andrianovich Shpigun.

Librarian Morozenkova N.V. revealed to the readers the pages of the life of a Soviet soldier who bravely defended the air borders of our Motherland, whose tragic death made him related to the Lower Oslonsk land.

The guys learned that Dmitry Shpigun was born in 1921 on the Berezhnevka farm, Poltava region, in Ukraine. From the first days of the Great Patriotic War he went to the front. In 1942 (from the entry in the award list), as part of the 124th fighter regiment, he patrolled the sky over Leningrad. In air battles, he proved himself to be a courageous, decisive fighter pilot. Correctly assessed the air situation and covered the advancing ground forces of the Leningrad Front in his MIG. In one of the air battles, the five MIGs covered the actions of our troops, at an altitude of 7000 meters they met 2 ME-109. The pilot Shpigun energetically and decisively, together with the leader of the group, attacked the ME-109 from behind from above, which facilitated the work of our attack aircraft, which were attacked by enemy fighters.

Sergeant Dmitry Shpigun deserves to be awarded the RED STAR ORDER for his courage and determination in performing combat missions

In February 1944, Guard Lieutenant Shpigun took part in the ferry of Airacobra aircraft along the route Alaska - Yakutia - Krasnoyarsk - front.

Readers learned that during the Great Patriotic War Kazan was one of the important points on the route of American aircraft on this route. One of these hauls was especially tragic and directly affected the republic and our region.

On February 11, 1944, 40 aircraft were sent from Sverdlovsk to Kazan. In a few hours the weather in the Kazan region deteriorates, the planes find themselves in a zone of thick fog and wet snow. Several planes manage to turn back and return to Sverdlovsk or land at other airfields directly on the snow. 21 aircraft caught in the fog could not get out of it: 13 crashed, 16 pilots died.

The plane, piloted by Dmitry Shpigun, crashed in the area of ​​Nizhniy Uslon, on Zhukovaya Gora. Local residents collected the remains of military equipment, and the pilot was buried at the local cemetery. According to official documents, the brave pilot was listed as missing for many years. In the 1950s, by the efforts of teachers and students of the Nizhneuslonskaya school, on the initiative of the then director Varlamov Alexander Timofeevich, a modest monument and a fence were erected at the grave of the deceased pilot.

On May 3, 2012, a new monument was erected at the burial site as a tribute to the soldier who gave his life to ensure that the sky he defended was peaceful.

The librarian drew the readers' attention to the fact that Dmitry Shpigun's grave is always well-groomed, not only schoolchildren come here to honor his memory, and bow to the soldier's feat. The villagers are looking after the grave; bring flowers, and on memorial days, treats, like a loved one, to a loved one... For some, the Ukrainian boy has become “a son who did not return from the war”, for someone “a deceased husband or father” - how many still unknown burials from Brest to Berlin.

At the end of the event, the librarian introduced the children to thematic folders dedicated to the veterans of the Great Patriotic War in Nizhny Uslon. The children learned about the patriotic action "Candle of Memory" taking place in our country and at the appointed time together with their parents lit memorial candles in the windows of their houses.

For her readers, the librarian Azizova G.R. prepared a presentation about the events of June 22, 1941, told about that terrible date, the day when for millions of inhabitants of our huge country all plans for the future collapsed, their whole life turned upside down. Everything went somewhere far away, everything wilted, before the ominous word WAR. There was no worse, darker and shorter night for the people. It was a night of courage, heroism and fearlessness of our grandparents.
