I wanted to post this post on November 8 on the anniversary of the establishment of the Order of "Victory" and the Orders of "Glory" of three degrees, but I will be on a business trip, so I'll post it now, since they are talking about heroes.

In an unconscious state, he was taken prisoner. In the camp near Poltava Soviet doctor performed a complex operation on him, but the right eye could not be saved. In September 1943, he managed to escape and cross the front line. After treatment in a Moscow hospital in March 1944, he returned to his regiment. The medical documents said nothing about the loss of an eye, and Drachenko began to fly again. He made another 34 sorties, destroyed 8 tanks, 12 vehicles, 2 anti-aircraft batteries, an ammunition depot, up to a company of soldiers. He was awarded the Order of the Patriotic War 1st degree.
On April 6, 1944, during a reconnaissance mission, he was attacked by 5 FW-190 fighters. On a heavily damaged aircraft, he managed to reach the airfield and land. For the brought valuable intelligence he was awarded the Order of Glory 3rd degree (Order of June 5, 1944 No. 68612).

But the legend was...
His combat path began on the Kursk Bulge. After graduating from Tambov military school pilots, he arrived at the front in May 1943 in the 140th Guards Assault Aviation Regiment. The young pilot made his first sortie on July 5, and on August 22 - August 14 - he was shot down by enemy fighters. In an unconscious state, Drachenko was captured.
Terrible days experienced Ivan Grigorievich in a fascist camp in Poltava. Beatings and torture were commonplace. The pilot's face was mutilated, a tooth was knocked out, he finally lost his right eye, which was damaged in battle ...
Our army continued the offensive, and the Nazis were in a hurry to get out of Poltava. On a September night, the prisoners were loaded into covered cars and taken to the west. Everyone understood that this was the last way. Drachenko and another pilot on the road strangled the guard sitting in the back. Five people managed to jump out on the move.
A few days later, Ivan Drachenko met with our scouts in a copse. Then there was a hospital in Moscow. He was cured. Instead of the right eye, a glass prosthesis was inserted. Outwardly, it was difficult to notice. The patient courted Professor Sverlov for a long time and eventually “knocked out” a certificate from him with the following content: “Junior Lieutenant Drachenko I.G. sent to his unit for further service.
This document again opened the way for the pilot to the sky, and he immediately went to his unit.
Returning to the regiment, Drachenko confessed his illness to only two of his friends.
From the memoirs of the Hero of the Soviet Union N.N. Kirtoka:
- Drachenko revealed his secret to me in the very first conversation. I promised to keep it and help each other in every possible way. At first, we had such a tactic, for example, that was far from clear to everyone. When Drachenko landed, I went out to the landing "T" and conducted his landing. Some were perplexed, others understandingly sympathized: the man, they say, only from the hospital, a little forgot the piloting technique. And then he became our best air reconnaissance. The whole front knew him. And he was an excellent attack aircraft. The regiment commander sent him to the most difficult tasks.
Knew the secret of Drachenko and another brother-soldier - Nikolai Pushnin.
- It will be very difficult for you to fly, Ivan, - said the pilot. - If the shooters find out, then hardly anyone will agree to fly with you.
That conversation was accidentally overheard by Arkady Kirilets. And not only agreed, but literally begged to take him to his crew. Fifty sorties were made by Drachenko with him on the Il-2. Of course, it was difficult without an eye. In flight, Drachenko often opened the lantern.
Comrades warned: "Do not fly without body armor", advised not to be brave. But here it was not a matter of courage: he saw better with an open lantern.
Drachenko considers the most memorable sortie the one for which he received the first Order of Glory.
... It was the summer of 1944. Two "Il" received an order to reconnoiter the enemy's defenses near Iasi. Ours were preparing a big offensive, and air reconnaissance data was urgently needed. One attack aircraft was led by Ivan Drachenko, the other by Kostya Kruglov. Scouts photographed defensive lines and roads in the area of Yass, Khushi and Roman. Then they headed north, along the western bank of the Sereet River to Tergul Frumos. It was then that the "Ilys" met with enemy fighters.
Twelve Messerschmitts fell on us,” Drachenko told me. - In a hot fight, Kirilets and I knocked out two, but Kruglov's "Il" was also shot down. I had to leave. Dropped over the river to low level flight. And the "Messers" did not lag behind. Rescued the church in the village of Yegorovka. I jumped up to her and went around the bell tower to make turns. This is where the enemy kites left us. Barely reached his airfield. Technicians counted several hundred holes in the plane. But, fortunately, the cameras turned out to be intact: the reconnaissance mission was completed.
Junior Lieutenant Drachenko received the second Order of Glory in September for the courage shown in the destruction of an enemy railway echelon. And in October 1944, he was awarded the third Order of Glory - this is already for 55 new sorties. [But this Order of Glory, like the previous one, was of the second degree. Only 24 years later, on November 26, 1968, he will be re-awarded with the Order of Glory of the first degree, and will become a full cavalier.]
Once the attack aircraft received an order to destroy the headquarters of the Nazi tank corps. The Ilov group was met by strong anti-aircraft fire. In this flight, Drachenko had a special task - he had to deceive the enemy - "burn and fall." Just above the headquarters, he activated a smoke bomb hidden in a bomb bay, and began to smoothly “fall” to the ground. The anti-aircraft gunners, having put a cross on it, transferred the fire to other vehicles. And at that moment, Drachenko dived rapidly and hit the headquarters building with eres and cannons. Other stormtroopers added. Only ruins remained of the headquarters.
In October 1944, by the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, 12 aces of the 2nd Air Army were awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union. Among them was junior lieutenant Ivan Grigoryevich Drachenko.
As stated in the award document, this is an award for 100 sorties for reconnaissance, the destruction of enemy manpower and equipment, for participation in 14 air battles that he made by August 1944.
This is how the pilot, who returned to combat formation, fought with the enemy.
- When was your secret revealed? I asked him.
- It happened already in 1945 at the command post of the regiment, - Ivan Grigoryevich answered. I began to wipe my right eye with a handkerchief, and his pupil turned 180 degrees. Someone shouted: “Brothers, Ivan has gone crazy!” The guys saw a white spot under the right eyebrow. But everything ended well. In the medical unit, I confessed my illness. I was subjected to a strict background check. The Deputy Divisional Commander Colonel Volodin himself took to the air with me, checked the piloting technique and tactics. The corps commander, General Ryazanov, observed the flight. When they landed, the general said to the regiment commander: “It would be good if all pilots flew like that. Let him fight until victory."
And so it happened. He made his last flights to Berlin and Prague.
From an archived document:
“During the two years of the war, Drachenko made 178 sorties on an Il-2 aircraft, personally shot down five enemy aircraft and burned nine at airfields, destroyed dozens of enemy tanks and armored personnel carriers, and many other enemy equipment and manpower.”
So he was, Ivan Grigoryevich Drachenko, a man and a warrior ...

History of the Order.
The Order of Glory was established on the same day as the Order of Victory. It became the last of the "land" orders created during the war years: after it only the "naval" orders of Ushakov and Nakhimov appeared. The order had several features that no other domestic award had. Firstly, this is the only combat distinction intended to be awarded exclusively to soldiers and sergeants (in aviation, also junior lieutenants). Secondly, they were awarded only in ascending order, starting from the lowest - III degree. This order was repeated only thirty years later in the statutes of the Orders of Labor Glory and "For Service to the Motherland in the Armed Forces of the USSR." Thirdly, the Order of Glory until 1974 was the only order of the USSR, issued only for personal merit and never issued for any military units neither businesses nor organizations. Fourthly, the statute of the order provided for the promotion of holders of all three degrees in rank, which was an exception for the Soviet award system. Fifthly, the colors of the ribbon of the Order of Glory repeat the colors of the ribbon of the Russian Imperial Order of St. George, which was at least unexpected in Stalin's times. Sixthly, the color and pattern of the ribbon were the same for all three degrees, which was typical only for the pre-revolutionary award system, but was never used in reward system THE USSR.
The order was established on the initiative of Stalin I.V. For the first time, a proposal to establish it was made on June 20, 1943, during a discussion of the project of the Order "Victory" at a meeting of the People's Commissariat of Defense. The Technical Committee of the Main Quartermaster Directorate of the Red Army, which was headed by Lieutenant General Aginsky S.V., was tasked to develop a draft of this order in August 1943. Nine artists worked on sketches for the order. On October 2, 1943, out of 26 projects created by the artists, 4 were presented to Stalin, who chose the drawing by N.I. Moskalev. (author of projects for the Order of Kutuzov, the medal "Partisan of the Patriotic War" and all medals for the defense of cities in the USSR).
According to the plan, the order was supposed to have 4 degrees: the same as the Order of St. George and the "insignia of the military order" - the famous St. George's Cross. It was originally planned to call it the Order of Bagration. Stalin approved the colors of the ribbon, but ordered to reduce the number of degrees to three, similarly to "commander orders", and call the award the Order of Glory, explaining that "there is no victory without glory." On October 11, 1943, the revised drawings were submitted to the NPO and on October 23 they were approved.
The right to award the Order of Glory of the III degree was granted to the commanders of formations from the brigade commander and above, the Order of Glory of the II degree - from the commander of the army (flotilla), and only the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR could award the I degree of the order. From February 26, 1947, the right to award any degree of the order passed exclusively to the Supreme Soviet of the USSR.
The first reliably established submission to the Order of Glory took place on November 13, 1943, when it was signed award list on the presentation to the order of the III degree of a sapper senior sergeant Malyshev V.S. During the battle, Vasily Malyshev made his way to the enemy machine gun, which interfered with the advance of our troops, and destroyed it. Later Malyshev V.S. earned another Order of Glory - II degree.
Some sources provide information that the first Order of Glory of the III degree was received by sapper sergeant Israelyan G.A. (Order No. 52 for the 182nd Infantry Division of November 17, 1943). Most likely, Malyshev was the first to be presented with the order, but the order was presented later, when Israelyan had already been awarded.
Since the orders were sent to different sectors of the front in batches and distributed among the headquarters of the formations eligible for awarding, the order issued earlier often had a larger number than the order issued later. So, the first batch of orders of the 1st degree was sent to the Leningrad Front, and the first batch of orders of the 3rd degree was sent to the 2nd Ukrainian Front. Therefore, the Order of Glory III degree No. 1 was later received by the armor-piercer of the 2nd Ukrainian Front, Senior Sergeant I. Kharin.
The first cavaliers of the Order of Glory, II degree, were sappers of the 10th Army of the Western (1st Belorussian) Front, private Baranov S.I. and Vlasov A.G. (Order No. 634 for the troops of the 10th Army of December 10, 1943). By the end of the war, Baranov and Vlasov received the first degree of the order.
The first awarding of the Order of Glory of the highest, I degree took place in July 1944. The first full cavaliers of the Order of Glory were assistant platoon commander senior sergeant K.K. Shevchenko. (badge of the order No. 21) and sapper corporal Pitenin M.T. (Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR of July 22, 1944). Pitenin died before the signing of the Decree, not having time to receive the order. Shevchenko reached the end of the war, also having the Order of the Red Banner, the Patriotic War and the Red Star, which was a very rare occurrence for a sergeant. The addition to his three orders of all three degrees of the Order of Glory made him a phenomenon: not every colonel and even a general had six orders.
Badge of the Order of Glory, I degree No. 1, was received by a soldier of the 63rd Guards Rifle Division of the Leningrad Front, commander of the infantry squad of the guard, senior sergeant Nikolai Zaletov (Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR of October 5, 1944). During the assault on the Karelian Wall, the company commander was killed, and, having taken command, Zaletov N.A. at the head of a company, he was the first to break into an enemy stronghold. Zaletov belonged to the Order of Glory II degree No. 404 and III degree No. 13789.
Badge of the Order of Glory, I degree No. 2, was received by a fighter of the same 63rd Guards Rifle Division, Sergeant Major Ivanov V.S. (Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR of March 24, 1945).
The first Decrees of the PVS of the USSR on awarding the Orders of Glory III and II degree were issued respectively on December 21, 1943 (16 fighters of the 1st separate Czechoslovak brigade) and May 15, 1946 (sergeants Atomuratov S. and Vasiliev M.G.).
Since in difficult front-line conditions confusion could arise in the documents for submission to the award, there are known cases of repeated awarding of the same degree of the order (usually the third). So, for example, GSS Sergeant Glazkov V.E. He was awarded two Orders of Glory 3rd degree.
AT Soviet army there was a unit, all the soldiers of which (except officers) were awarded the Order of Glory. We are talking about the 1st battalion of the 215th Red Banner Regiment of the 77th Guards Chernigov Red Banner Orders of Lenin and Suvorov Rifle Division of the 69th Army of the 1st Belorussian Front. During the liberation of Poland during the breakthrough of the German defense in depth on the left bank of the Vistula on January 14, 1945, the soldiers of this battalion captured three lines of enemy trenches with a swift attack and held the position until the main forces approached. Soldier of the guard battalion senior sergeant Perov I.E. closed the embrasure of the enemy bunker with his chest, repeating the feat of Alexander Matrosov. All soldiers, sergeants and foremen of the battalion became holders of the Order of Glory. Platoon commanders were awarded the Orders of Alexander Nevsky, company commanders were awarded the Orders of the Red Banner. The commander of the battalion, 23-year-old Guard Major Emelyanov B.N. and Perov I.E. (posthumously) became Heroes of the Soviet Union.
Among more than two and a half thousand full cavaliers of the Order of Glory, four bear the title of Hero of the Soviet Union:
The title of Hero of the Soviet Union is also worn by 80 holders of the Order of Glory, II degree, and 647 holders of the Order of Glory, III degree.
There are four women among the full holders of the Order of Glory:
Eight full holders of the Order of Glory in the postwar years were awarded the title of Hero of Socialist Labor: Velichko M.K., Litvinenko P.A., Martynenko A.A., Peller V.I., Sultanov Kh.A., Fedorov S.V., Khristenko V.T. and Yarovoy M.S.
There are known cases of awarding four Orders of Glory. Among the four order bearers A. Gaibov (two orders of the II degree), V. Naldin, A. Petrukovich.
The soldier Kuzin ST fought in the ranks of the Red Army, a holder of two St. George crosses, who was also awarded two Orders of Glory during the Great Patriotic War.

FROM THE EDITORIAL BOARD
The feats of those who during the years of the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945, not sparing their blood and life itself, brought the hour of Victory closer will forever remain in the memory of the people. Holy love for the Fatherland, ardent patriotism, just war aims, and the deadly threat emanating from German fascism mobilized the peoples of the multinational Soviet Union to repulse the enemy.
In this harsh time Soviet people showed unbending will to win, unity and selflessness. Their heroism in the fight against the enemy was massive. 11,694 soldiers of the army and navy, partisans and underground fighters were awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union for their feats during the war, 5,300,000 people were awarded orders. Among them, approximately one in five was awarded the Order of Glory.
The Order of Glory was established on November 8, 1943. With its introduction, it was decided to turn to the glorious martial traditions of the past. In the era of the Napoleonic wars in 1807, a special insignia of the military order of the Holy Great Martyr and Victorious George was introduced to reward ordinary and non-commissioned officers in the Russian army. Initially, he had one degree, in 1856 he received four degrees, and since 1913 it became known as the St. George Cross, as it was worn on the St. George ribbon. The continuity of the introduced new Soviet state award was emphasized primarily by the fact that the St. George ribbon, orange and black, was also taken for the Order of Glory. Like the George Cross, the Order of Glory was awarded sequentially. Only those who were awarded the third degree could receive the second, and then the first.
These soldier awards were similar in meaning to their statute. The George Cross was awarded to the lower ranks for valor on the battlefield. The statute of the Order of Glory stated: "The Order of Glory is awarded to privates and sergeants of the Red Army, and in aviation, to persons with the rank of junior lieutenant, who showed glorious feats of courage, courage and fearlessness in battles for the Soviet Motherland." The tradition has been preserved in the manufacture of the three degrees of the Order of Glory. If the St. George's crosses of the first and second degrees were gold, and the third and fourth were silver, then the Order of Glory of the first degree was gold, the second was silver with a golden mean, the third was silver.
In the course of hostilities, according to the statute, soldiers of various specialties could be awarded the Order of Glory - infantrymen and air gunners, tankers and scouts, artillerymen and sappers, pilots and medical instructors. The right to award the Order of Glory of the third degree was granted to the commanders of divisions and corps. Thanks to this distinguished fighter, they could be awarded a military award literally on the day of the feat.
In less than two years of the Great Patriotic War, about 980 thousand soldiers were awarded the Order of Glory of the third degree, almost 46 thousand - the Order of Glory of the second degree. The first full cavaliers of the Order of Glory on July 22, 1944 were Corporal Mitrofan Trofimovich Pitenin and Senior Sergeant Konstantin Kirillovich Shevchenko. 2631 soldiers were awarded the Order of Glory of three degrees for feats of arms, and the pilot of the assault aviation regiment Ivan Grigoryevich Drachenko, marine Pavel Khristoforovich Dubinda and gunners Nikolai Ivanovich Kuznetsov, Andrei Vasilyevich Alyoshin during the war years were awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union.
Among awarded with the order Glory of three degrees to the brave daughters of our Motherland: air gunner-radio operator Nadezhda Alexandrovna Zhurkina (Kiyok), who made 87 sorties; sanitary instructor Matryona Semyonovna Necheporchukova (Nazdracheva), who carried out more than a hundred fighters and commanders from the battlefield under fire; sniper Nina Pavlovna Petrova, who killed dozens of enemy soldiers and officers; machine gunner Danute Jurgio Staniliene (Markauskienė), who fought in battles from Orel to her native Lithuanian land.
Many of the heroes of the last war achieved great success in the peaceful field as well. So, full cavaliers of the Order of Glory Maxim Konstantinovich Velichko, Pavel Andreevich Litvinenko, Anatoly Alekseevich Martynenko, Vladimir Izrailevich Peller, Khatmulla Asylgareevich Sultanov, Sergei Vasilyevich Fedorov, Vasily Timofeevich Khristenko, Mikhail Savvich Yarovoy were awarded the title of Hero of Socialist Labor for their labor achievements. The successes of others are marked by orders and medals.
The exploits of the soldiers who selflessly served the Motherland, who defended it in the time of the most difficult trials, are rightfully an example for future generations, an example of the fulfillment of military duty. To them, awarded the Order of Glory of three degrees, this brief biographical dictionary is dedicated.
This number does not include soldiers deprived of this award (see the list on p. 676), as well as holders of three Orders of Glory, re-awarded with the Order of the 1st degree by orders of the Ministers of Defense of Russia and Ukraine (their lists are placed on p. 675, and the biographies of eleven of them listed in this edition).
"Chevaliers of the Order of Glory of three degrees" - a work created in close collaboration with the researchers of the Institute military history Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and specialists of the Main Directorate of Personnel of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, the Central Archive of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, the Central Museum of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

The application contains articles about 94 Heroes of the Soviet Union. Among the new Heroes are 56 participants in the Great Patriotic War, 13 "Afghan" soldiers, 6 test pilots, 10 cosmonauts, 5 military sailors, etc. The appendix also publishes: a list of persons deprived of the title of Hero of the Soviet Union; a list of persons excluded from the Decrees of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR on conferring the title of Hero of the Soviet Union, and persons whose decrees on conferring the title of Hero of the Soviet Union have been cancelled; addition to the list of citizens of foreign countries awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union.
