Lately, no matter how sad it may be, people are beginning to forget about the feat of our grandfathers, great-grandfathers, grandmothers and great-grandmothers. But according to the chronicle of that time, thanks to the front-line authors, we can fully feel the pain, grief, courage, desire ordinary people save your family and protect your homeland.

Boris Vasiliev dedicated the book “The Dawns Here Are Quiet…” to everyone who did not return from a cruel and bloody war, to his friends and comrades. It has become a real "book of memory" for the people of our country. The story described in the story is close to every person who honors the memory of the Great Patriotic War.

I was very sorry for the simple girls who did not have time to live for real. Sonya Gurvich, Rita Osyanina, Zhenya Komelkova, Galya Chetvertak, Liza Brichkina - they are all real, alive, so young and bright. Each of them died for love, for their homeland, for the future. The war broke off their “wings”, crossed out everything and everything, dividing life into before and after, leaving them no choice but to fight back, taking weapons into gentle female hands.

Fedot Vaskov feels so guilty for the death of the girls that only a person without a heart will not grieve with him. The brave and courageous soldier, who had seen a lot during the war, understood that a woman should be close to children, raise them and protect them, and not fight on an equal footing with men. He wanted to take revenge on the whole world and the Nazis for the death of five strong in spirit young girls, because their lives were not worth a dozen or hundreds of German soldiers.

The author wrote about what he saw with his own eyes, about what he felt. Tale in bright colors describes events great war, gives the reader the opportunity to temporarily move to the fateful forties. To see the horror that was happening at that time, because in the war they killed not just people, but destroyed a specific person, someone's love, something like a husband, son, brother, sister, mother. The war did not spare anyone; it affected every Soviet family. Strong men, old people, children and women went into battle.

At the end of the work, the writer points out to us that good will still prevail over evil. Despite everything, hope remains in the heart of the surviving foreman Vaskov, it is he and the son of the deceased Rita Osyanina who will tell future descendants about how strong love for the Motherland and hatred for the enemy can be. Five brave, courageous, strong-willed girls beyond their years will forever take an honorable place in the memory and heart of the Russian people, they will forever become heroes of the Great Patriotic War.

1. The cruelty of war.

2. .

2.1. Five heroines.

2.2. The pain of the foreman.

3. Battle of local importance.

War is a terrible word that carries pain and destruction, despair and anxiety, death and suffering. This is universal grief, this is general confusion. The torments that a person who experienced the war endured cannot be compared with anything, they cannot be conveyed.

Pain for your loved ones and for yourself, pain for the country and for the future - this is what the heart feels every minute, every second. This is exactly how Boris Vasilyev portrays the Great Patriotic War before us - without embellishment, without exaggeration.

Five young girls go to fight, to defend their land. Five different destinies, five different characters merge in unison in the fight against the Nazis. Rita Osyanina - a young mother and a widow who did not have time to enjoy family happiness. She is the most courageous and fearless, responsible and serious.

Galya Chetvertak is an orphanage and funny girl who dreams of becoming a great artist. Sonya Gurvich is an ordinary student - an excellent student, in love with a boy and reading poetry. Lisa Brichkina, who grew up in the forest, dreams of city life and bustle. Zhenya Komelkova is a cheerful, mischievous general's daughter, in front of whom the whole family was shot.

All of them are bright individual personalities who have experienced severe grief and strive only for one thing - to serve the fatherland. And the girls succeeded. They receive a responsible task together with commander Vaskov, they are all brave, fearless, courageous. In turn, young beautiful heroines, full of strength and health, die. Rita was hit by fragments of a grenade, Zhenya was riddled with automatic shots, Sonya was killed with a dagger in the heart ... These terrible painful deaths did not shake the confidence of the girls, did not force them to betray their homeland, did not force them to lose courage.

Losing his comrades in arms, the foreman begins to understand how much they meant to him, with their girlish laughter, women's jokes, youthful enthusiasm. He admires their strength and fearlessness, their hatred of the enemy and love of life, their heroism and feat. The man mourns these terrible deaths: “How is it to live now? Why is it so? After all, they don’t need to die, but give birth to children, because they are mothers! How much grief, how much tenderness, how much pain in these words! And he took revenge on the Germans for the death of the girls, carrying for life the memory of the valor of his “sisters”.

The events described in the story are events of local significance. It would seem that the feat of the girls did not affect the overall victory, it was lost among the high-profile famous feats. But it's not. If it were not for the heroic deeds of ordinary soldiers, if it were not for the courage of ordinary soldiers who defend every centimeter of the earth, then the Grandiose victory would not have become possible. Because without the small there is no great.

"And the dawns here are quiet" - this is dramatic work, which takes the reader during the Great Patriotic War. It introduces the courage and strength of ordinary Russian soldiers, among whom fate entrusted to be not only men, but also very young girls. The selflessness and strength of mind of five young people, led by a young commander, arouse admiration and pride in the reader, mixed with deep sorrow and sadness.

The story opens in 1942, where the reader is shown the life of the 171st railway siding, located in the epicenter of hostilities, with a couple of barely surviving yards. The relatively calm, quiet rhythm of life in this area allowed the soldiers to abuse alcohol, as well as to be tempted by the attention of the female half. The commandant of the junction, Vaskov, regularly wrote reports with a request to send non-drinking soldiers to the unit, but with enviable constancy, history repeated itself again until the male anti-aircraft gunners were replaced by women.

With the arrival of the girls, life at the junction became very calm and cheerful at the same time, despite the hardships of the time. Young ladies often made fun of Vaskov, who felt awkward in the company of new anti-aircraft gunners and was a little embarrassed by his lack of education, since he graduated from only 4 grades of school. Sometimes the foreman was indignant at the behavior of the girls, who, in his perception, worked "not according to the charter."

Rita is appointed commander of the anti-aircraft gunners. After the loss of her husband, her temper became severe, and her nature closed. She treated her associates quite strictly, but Zhenya Komelkova managed to soften her character, who survived the loss of all her loved ones, but managed to remain an open and cheerful person. Secretly from everyone at night, Rita goes to visit her mother and child, who live near the junction.

A friendship develops between Rita and Zhenya, to which Galya joins, reputed to be an ugly girl. Komelkova finds her a tunic, fixes her hair, and the unsightly girl is noticeably transformed.

One day, Rita went into the forest without permission. Upon returning, she notices two people in camouflage gear who are armed and carrying some kind of packages. Osyanina immediately reports what he saw to Vaskov. The commander concludes that she met with the saboteurs of the German army, who were moving towards the railway junction, and decides to intercept the enemy.

Vaskov receives 5 anti-aircraft gunners in command and they are sent to carry out an interception plan. On the way, Vaskov tries to be optimistic, often joking, wanting to cheer up his female fighters. The characters decide to take the German soldiers at Vop-lake, to which they go by the shortest route through forests and swamps. Passing through the swamp, Galya Chetvertak stumbles, finding herself up to her neck in water.

The company successfully reaches its destination. The commander, knowing about the numerical superiority of his group, counts on a quick reprisal against the enemies, but decides to play it safe and chooses a path for a possible retreat. While waiting for the Germans to appear, the girls manage to have lunch, after which Vaskov gives a combat order to detain the saboteurs and the heroes take up combat positions.

Galya catches a cold after falling into a swamp, she is covered with chills. The team spends the whole night waiting for the saboteurs. Toward morning, the Germans appear, but contrary to expectations, instead of two people, they number sixteen. Vaskov decides to send Liza on a road trip to tell about what happened and bring help. Brichkina loses her bearings and loses a conspicuous pine tree, which means the right turn to pass the swamp. Moving through the swamp, she stumbles and, getting stuck in a quagmire, dies.

Meanwhile, the commander and anti-aircraft gunners, wanting to scare off the German soldiers and force them to take a detour, play a scene. Vaskov with the girls give the impression that in the forest work in progress lumberjacks. They begin to conduct a loud roll call, burning fires. Fedot cuts down trees, and the resourceful Zhenya goes for a swim, pretending not to notice the presence of enemies. The unsuspecting Germans leave.

The commander understands that the hidden enemy can turn out to be insidious and does not exclude the threat of an attack on his squad. Together with Osyanina, he goes to reconnaissance. Having found out that the saboteurs settled down for a halt, Vaskov decides to change the location of the team and sends Rita for the girls. Fedot remembers that he forgot his pouch and gets upset. Noticing his mood, Sonya decides to return for the loss.

The commander did not have time to stop Gurevich, who had run away for the pouch. Shots are fired. Sonya dies from the bullets of two German soldiers. The upset group buries the girl. Vaskov takes off her boots and hands them to Galya, who lost hers in the swamp, noting that he must take care of the living.

Saying goodbye to Sonya, the commander and anti-aircraft gunners begin a furious pursuit of the Germans, wanting to avenge the death of a comrade-in-arms. They overtake the enemy and, sneaking up unnoticed, Vaskov kills one of them, but he has no strength for the second. At this moment, Zhenya is nearby and, having killed the saboteur with a butt, saves the life of the commander. The Germans are retreating. Realizing the perfect deed, Komelkova is tormented by oppressive thoughts for what she has done. The foreman tries to justify her decisive step by talking about the inhumanity and ruthlessness of the enemy.

Shocked by Sonya's death, the dreamy Galya throws her rifle aside during the oncoming battle and falls to the ground. The girls begin to accuse her of cowardice, but Vaskov justifies Chetvertak with inexperience and confusion. For educational purposes, the foreman takes Galya with him for reconnaissance.

Inspecting the surroundings of the forest, the scouts notice the corpses of the Germans. It was estimated that there were still 12 German soldiers left. The foreman and Galya hide in ambush, ready to shoot at the approaching saboteurs. Unexpectedly, Chetvertak leaves the hiding place and, mad with horror, betrays himself, receiving a machine-gun burst from the Germans.

Vaskov decides to take the enemy away from the place where Zhenya and Rita remained. Until the very night, he tried to create noise in the forest, shot at enemy figures flashing between the trees, shouted and tried to lure saboteurs closer to the marshy place. Having been wounded in the arm, he takes refuge in the swamp until the morning.

At dawn, the wounded commander gets out on land and notices on the water a black skirt worn by Lisa Brichkina. Vaskov understands that the girl is dead, and last hopes they turn to dust for help. Dejected by heavy thoughts about the lost "his war", Vaskov goes in search of German soldiers.

In the forest, he meets an abandoned hut, which turned out to be a refuge for saboteurs. Hidden, the foreman watched the Germans, who hid the explosives. Then the whole group leaves for reconnaissance, leaving one soldier to guard the hut. Fedot kills the enemy, takes the weapon and goes to the bank of the river where they once played a scene in front of the saboteurs. There he tells the remaining anti-aircraft gunners about the death of Galya and Liza, saying that soon they will have to accept their last, probably, battle.

Saboteurs appear on the shore, a terrible battle ensues. Vaskov fought relentlessly, defending his homeland and not allowing the enemy detachment to cross the river. Rita receives a severe shrapnel wound in the stomach. The wounded Zhenya continues to shoot back, leading the Germans behind her and not noticing the wounds received. The girl shot to the last bullet, sparing no effort and hitting the enemy with her courage. The Germans shoot the unarmed Komelkova point-blank.

The dying Osyanina tells the foreman about her son Albert and asks to take care of the baby. Vaskov, tormented by thoughts of the loss of the entire team, shares with Rita his feelings about what happened and asks himself: was the death of young girls worth giving her away for trying to block the road to the Germans? Rita replies that they defended their homeland and did everything right. How could they do otherwise and allow the enemy to undermine the road? No.

Vaskov rises and follows the Germans again. He hears a shot and returns to Rita, who shot herself, not wanting to torture herself or the foreman. Having buried both girls, with the last of his strength, Fedot moved forward, where the German hut was located. He bursts inside, where he kills one of the saboteurs and takes four more prisoners. In a semi-delirious state, wounded and exhausted, he leads the Germans to the siding line. Realizing that he reached the place, the foreman loses consciousness.

In the epilogue of the book, the author talks about a letter from a tourist written many years after the war. It tells about a gray-haired old man who came to the lake, who did not have an arm, and a rocket captain named Albert Fedotych. On the shore they installed a marble slab. The tourist says that together with the arrivals he goes in search of the graves of the anti-aircraft gunners who once died here. And he notes how "the dawns here are quiet."

“And the dawns here are quiet…” - plot

May 1942 Countryside in Russia. There is a war with Nazi Germany. The 171st railway siding is commanded by foreman Fedot Evgrafych Vaskov. He is thirty two years old. He has only four grades. Vaskov was married, but his wife ran away with the regimental veterinarian, and his son soon died.

It's quiet on the road. Soldiers arrive here, look around, and then begin to "drink and walk." Vaskov stubbornly writes reports, and, in the end, he is sent a platoon of “non-drinking” fighters - anti-aircraft gunners. At first, the girls laugh at Vaskov, but he does not know how to deal with them. Rita Osyanina is in command of the first squad of the platoon. Rita's husband died on the second day of the war. She sent her son Albert to her parents. Soon Rita got into the regimental anti-aircraft school. With her husband's death, she learned to hate the Germans "quietly and mercilessly" and was harsh with the girls in her squad.

The Germans kill the carrier, instead they send Zhenya Komelkova, a slender red-haired beauty. In front of Zhenya a year ago, the Germans shot her loved ones. After their death, Zhenya crossed the front. She was picked up, protected "and not that he took advantage of defenselessness - Colonel Luzhin stuck to himself." He was family, and the military authorities, having found out about this, the colonel "took into circulation", and sent Zhenya "to a good team." Despite everything, Zhenya is "sociable and mischievous." Her fate immediately "crosses out Rita's exclusivity." Zhenya and Rita converge, and the latter "thaws".

When it comes to transferring from the front line to the patrol, Rita is inspired and asks to send her squad. The junction is located near the city where her mother and son live. At night, Rita secretly runs into the city, carries her products. One day, returning at dawn, Rita sees two Germans in the forest. She wakes up Vaskov. He receives an order from the authorities to "catch" the Germans. Vaskov calculates that the route of the Germans lies on the Kirov railway. The foreman decides to go a short way through the swamps to the Sinyukhina ridge, stretching between two lakes, along which you can only get to the railway, and wait for the Germans there - they will certainly go by the roundabout. Vaskov takes Rita, Zhenya, Lisa Brichkina, Sonya Gurvich and Galya Chetvertak with him.

Lisa is from Bryansk, she is the daughter of a forester. For five years, she took care of her terminally ill mother, because of this she could not finish school. A visiting hunter, who awakened her first love in Liza, promised to help her enter a technical school. But the war began, Liza got into the anti-aircraft unit. Liza likes Sergeant Major Vaskov.

Sonya Gurvich from Minsk. Her father was a local doctor, they had a large and Friendly family. She herself studied for a year at Moscow University, knows German. A neighbor from lectures, Sonya's first love, with whom they spent only one unforgettable evening in the park of culture, volunteered for the front.

Galya Chetvertak grew up in orphanage. It was there that she met her first love. After the orphanage, Galya got into the library technical school. The war caught her in her third year.

The path to Lake Vop lies through the swamps. Vaskov leads the girls along a path well known to him, on both sides of which there is a quagmire. The fighters safely reach the lake and, hiding on the Sinyukhina ridge, are waiting for the Germans. Those appear on the shore of the lake only the next morning. There are not two of them, but sixteen. While the Germans are about three hours walking to Vaskov and the girls, the foreman sends Liza Brichkin back to the siding - to report on a change in the situation. But Lisa, crossing the swamp, stumbles and drowns. No one knows about this, and everyone is waiting for help. Until then, the girls decide to mislead the Germans. They portray lumberjacks, shouting loudly, Vaskov felling trees.

The Germans retreat to Lake Legontov, not daring to go along the Sinyukhin ridge, on which, as they think, someone is cutting down the forest. Vaskov with the girls moves to a new place. He left his pouch in the same place, and Sonya Gurvich volunteers to bring it. Hurrying, she stumbles upon two Germans who kill her. Vaskov and Zhenya are killing these Germans. Sonya is buried.

Soon the fighters see the rest of the Germans approaching them. Hiding behind bushes and boulders, they shoot first, the Germans retreat, fearing an invisible enemy. Zhenya and Rita accuse Galya of cowardice, but Vaskov defends her and takes her on reconnaissance for "educational purposes". But Vaskov does not suspect what mark Sonya's death left in Gali's soul. She is terrified and gives herself away at the most crucial moment, and the Germans kill her.

Fedot Evgrafych takes the Germans on himself to lead them away from Zhenya and Rita. He is wounded in the arm. But he manages to get away and get to the island in the swamp. In the water, he notices Lisa's skirt and realizes that help will not come. Vaskov finds the place where the Germans stopped to rest, kills one of them and goes to look for the girls. They are preparing to take the final stand. The Germans appear. In an unequal battle, Vaskov and the girls kill several Germans. Rita is mortally wounded, and while Vaskov is dragging her to safety, the Germans kill Zhenya. Rita asks Vaskov to take care of her son and shoots herself in the temple. Vaskov buries Zhenya and Rita. After that, he goes to the forest hut, where the five remaining Germans sleep. Vaskov kills one of them on the spot, and takes four prisoners. They themselves tie each other with belts, because they do not believe that Vaskov is "all alone for many miles." He loses consciousness from pain only when his own, Russians, are already coming towards him.

Many years later, a gray-haired, stocky old man without an arm and a rocket captain, whose name is Albert Fedotovich, will bring a marble slab to Rita's grave.

Story

According to the author, the story is based on a real episode of the war, when seven soldiers who, after being wounded, served at one of the junction stations of the Kirov railway, did not allow a German sabotage group to blow up the railway in this section. After the battle, only a sergeant survived, the commander of a group of Soviet fighters, who after the war was awarded the medal "For Military Merit". “And I thought: this is it! A situation when a person himself, without any order, decides: I won’t let him in! They have nothing to do here! I started working with this plot, I have already written seven pages. And suddenly I realized that nothing would come of it. It will just be special case at war. There was nothing fundamentally new in this story. Work is up. And then it suddenly came up - let my hero have not men, but young girls as subordinates. And that's it - the story immediately lined up. Women have the hardest time in war. There were 300 thousand of them at the front! And then no one wrote about them.”

"Not all soldiers will meet the day of victory,
Not everyone can come to the parade.
Soldiers are mortal. Feats are immortal.
The courage of the soldiers does not die."

The image of Nikolai Pluzhnikov embodied the character traits of all the soldiers who staunchly defended every inch of the earth, but whose names remained unknown. Let their names be unknown to us, but their feat lives in our hearts. Nikolai Pluzhnikov arrived at the fortress on the night that separated the world from the war. At dawn, a battle began that lasted nine months. Nicholas had the opportunity to leave the fortress with his girlfriend. And no one would consider him a deserter, since his name was not on any list, he was a free man. But it was precisely this freedom, the consciousness of his duty that forced him to accept an unequal battle with the Nazis. He defended Brest fortress nine month. He went upstairs because he ran out of ammunition, because he found out: “Moscow is ours, and the Germans are defeated near Moscow. Now I can get out. Now I must go out and look them in the eyes for the last time." It is impossible to read the words of Nikolai Pluzhnikov without tears: “The fortress did not fall: it simply bled to death. I am her last drop.

With his courage, steadfastness, Nikolai made even his enemies admire him. For me, Pluzhnikov became a symbol of all those unknown soldiers who fought to the end and died without counting on glory. Nikolai Pluzhnikov, Andrei Sokolov, Nikolai Kuznetsov, millions of other soldiers. Where did their spiritual strength come from to endure inhuman suffering, what gave them strength in the struggle? Here is how P. Bogdanov wrote about this: “We were not taught how to throw ourselves under a tank, And how to close the enemy’s embrasure with our chest, And rush at the enemy with a living battering ram ... But we were taught to love our Motherland!” Yes, love for the Motherland, for the native land, for the home gave them the strength to win. And the Motherland remembers its sons and daughters who gave their lives for its freedom and independence. There is no such city or village where there would not be a monument to those who died in the Great Patriotic War. At the foot of monuments and obelisks there are always fresh flowers.

People like Nikolai Pluzhnikov, Andrey Sokolov and many others brought Victory closer with every hour of their lives. They will always live in the hearts of our people. The years of war are moving further and further away from us. There are fewer and fewer people who have seen it. And we need to meet with veterans more often in order to understand what war is and to prevent its repetition. The Great Patriotic War has long ended, but there are still soldiers whose names are unknown. And our duty is to do everything so that people know about them. Conducting search work, we ourselves become morally richer, we learn to empathize with the participants in the events. We have a lot of fun with veterans. Often we go to their home, help them, and then listen to their stories. At our school, the annals of the Great Patriotic War are kept. War veterans often come to visit us. These people are an example for us. We remember that they fought so that we could live under a peaceful sky, so that our generation would be happy.
