In my time, I read a book by Oleg Strizhak "Secrets of the Baltic submarine". The book was based on the ideas of water workers VVV, and it began with the victory of the successful (for the official radian version, successful Marinesko buv under the fence) water worker Travkin Ivan Vasilovich. Vіn for official radyanskim military tributes 2 ships and 12 transports of the enemy. Prote, if the Germans published the statistics on the cost of the Baltic Sea, it turned out that there were fake data. Why? This is well explained in the book of Strizhak.
"The dark and strayed right hand of the rahunok won. The victory demanded "confirmation". Ideally, for the instructions, it was necessary to work like this. The commander to carry out the attack, the target is. on a thin mark, evaluate її class, water-tonnage and confirm that the target sank ... Good, like to spend a fair amount of self-sufficiency without protection, you can split and smoke, marvel at the place, like there is a tone, but seriously, go horseback. it’s impossible for the commander to enter the course of attack - good luck ... Ale torpedoes went - they showed themselves chauvin ... Periscope down! Steep trim on nis, and vіdvalyuvati, more and more.
The first single "confirmation" is chuli vibuh. Abo two. Kudi was hit by a torpedo - is there a transport? bury in the ship? at the skeleton? No one can see the price on the chovni. And what did they eat at the transport - drowning in wine?
And yakscho drowned transport - chi vіn great buv? One commander knows. Commander yogo bachiv at the periscope for a few seconds, krіz boards, fog or dark. The 1st commander reported after turning: having drowned dry-vanage, twenty thousand tons.
Matiyasevich Oleksiy Mikhailovich, the famous submariner, having told me, as if arguing with the commanders of the chovnіv: "There are no such great ships in the Baltic at once! Well, chotiri, well, five thousand tons.
Matiyasevich was captain of the merchant fleet until the red 41st, and he knew the court of all the Baltics well.
The commanders of the chovnіv looked like a new one. Matiyasevich himself wrote honestly in his notes: transport, approximately two thousand tons.
For the price of Matiyasevich, the authorities appeared. The authorities took away the orders for the success of the supporters, and you needed "vagomi" victories.
Inaccuracies began in the 60s, when foreign historians corrected the material of the war at sea (rotation logs, maps, schemes and tracing papers of maneuvering, commanders' announcements) and began to publish in "Marina Rundshau" the results of our freshmen. Now our historians have had a chance to improve, to streamline history. Trivala tsya robot mayzhe twenty years. Bagato "overcame" a fiction.
They respected what they had consumed in the cell, and the torpedoes went past - “the axis of the note from the German logbook. They appreciated that they drowned the transport, and lost their wines afloat: the axis of confirmation. Ale tse all pіvbidi. Nabagato worse, that those attacks that won were sheer nonsense.
With contempt and slander, Grishchenko and Matiyasevich spoke about Travkin. Travkin maw overcame eleven in his robe, wearing the Golden Zirka. It appeared that there was only one victory in the new bula, an insignificant ship. Rashta is a product of disinformation.
The crew moved. War on the right is like that, in the zayve - and bury you at the penitentiary, at the Sinyavinsky swamps. The commanders of other civil servants suspected that Travkin is unclean, but you can't go hand in hand... The scandal is great. But the Kremlin does not like scandals. German historians were called unfinished fascists. Our historians were punished Movchati. Travkin beamed at the presidiums and blessed the pioneers.
And the magazine "Marin Rundshau" was slandered as a fortune-teller and put in a special depository.
Prote serious corrections were made to the history of the war in the Baltics. Rizko skorotivsya (like and passing Matiyasevich) tonnage of sunken ships: vvazhavsya combat report transport at fifteen thousand tons, and leaning back at the second thousand.
And among the names of the Russian water workers, the names of Grishchenko and Matiyasevich appeared in the first row.
These lines were not only torpedo-attack. The stinks were called "underwater minny zagorodzhuvach".
Fighting rahunok chovna, as of the 42nd rock commanded by Matiyasevich, having sent 25 fortune ships, ships and underwater vessels with a total water tonnage of over ten thousand tons. Rakhunok Chovna "L-3", as commanded by Grishchenko until the 43rd year, - 28 ships and transports.
I offended the commanders, Grishchenko and Matiyasevich, all of their lives experienced a severe mental trauma. I was not given the title of Hero of the Radyansk Union ... "

Thank you, Illy Kurganov, an officer of the Navy, for the love of the photo of the Hero!

Ivan Vasilyovich was born on 30 September 1908. in the same worker in the suburban town of Naro-Fominsk. Yogo's father's name was Vasil Mikolayovich, and mother of children. Pratsyuvav vіn, yak і all Travkini, on a single textile factory in the city. In 1916 Vasily Mikolayovich among the rich of other entrepreneurs of the enterprise was called to military service, And more yoga Vanya is not bachiv. At the textile factory, there was the only school of cob production in the city, where Ivan was born. Rocky hromada war vyavilisya for sim'ї Travkinih naivazhchimi. There was nothing to wear, nothing to eat. So that none of the children died of starvation, mothers, the main work of the Crimea, as a weaver, took up work on people and miti pidlog. And Vanya and his young brother went to the station to ask the soldiers from the passing echelons for crackers and bread. Vіn often missed high school classes and, zreshtoyu, the third class was deprived of another river. P'yatirichnu school Travkin finished in 1922, then was a school and, nareshti, a robot fitter in a factory. In 1930, having joined the CPSU (b), and that year they were called up to the Red Army. At the Naro-Fominsky military committee, the young man asked for the fleet, however, in 1930, the “naval” squadron did not show up, and Ivan Vasilyovich opinated in the army with another rifle regiment of the Moscow Proletarian Division.

Service at the military part was not easy - occupations from the drill training were replaced by lessons in the shooting technique and political education. Ignorantly, on the last days of the robot, thoughts about the sea did not go, and in case of good weather, Travkin asked the commander of the company to take him to the fleet. about the introduction of the administration to sleep to the Vyshchoy Military-Naval School named after. Frunze, a young man, took off the summer of 1931. However, the joy, as it turned out, was early - the knowledge of Ivan Vasilyovich clearly did not stick out to enter into initial mortgage. However, after roaming with the head of the school, Travkin was accepted for a new bag, but not for the first year, but for a preparatory student. For rіk youmu, it was necessary to fill in the clearings of one's own enlightenment. I Ivan Vasilyovich, taking up the mind, sat over the assistants of the wines for ten, and for the twelve years in the bounty without days off that is holy. For rіk namіchenu meta bulo vikonano - Travkin overtook the best cadets.

Ivan Vasilovich graduated from the school in 1936. After a successful appointment to the Chervonopraporny Baltic Fleet, he was the navigator of one of the oldest in the Baltics, the first water bodies Shch-303. In April 1938, Travkin was appointed the flagship navigator of the entire submarine division. In addition, he started in the Navchalny Paddling Pit named after Kirov, after completing it in 1939, becoming an assistant to the commander of the B-2 submarine of the Bars type. I arrived, at the fierce fate of 1940, in the rank of senior lieutenant, he was appointed commander of the Shch-303 underwater vessel.

Even before the cob of war, Ivan Vasilyovich's underwater choven was handed over to the initial division, however, at the link with the cob of fighting diy yogo, they turned it back to the right. The repair and modernization of the submarine was carried out in Kronstadt, and Travkin with his team of workers from the marine plant worked early until night. For example, the sickle Baltic Fleet defeated the base in Tallinn. Nearly hundreds of warships were sent to Kronstadt, as if they were actively involved in the defense of Leningrad. Not zumіvshi navyshchit fleet at the passage, the enemy virіshiv tse robiti at the harbour. In the middle of spring, artillery hit the ships from the Peterhof region at the Kronstadt location. In the coming days, the enemy has connected the majestic number of his fighters before the attack. Zokrema, 21 spring near the sky over Kronstadt flew about 180 fortune-telling cars. Travkin, standing on the spot of the chute, cherubing with the fire of the ship's magpie, whose "voice" was drowning in the roar of the great destroyers and battleships. Two days later, 270 aircraft attacked the marine plant and ships. The earth sank again, and the water boiled. A lot of ships were taken away, two workshops were built at the plant, the headquarters of the MPPO and the mooring wall ceased to function.

Commander "Sch-303" I.V. Travkin on the deck of his ship

On the cob of zhovtnya, Ivan Vasilyovich took off the order to move Shch-303 to Leningrad. It was not easy to slay it - at the nearest frontiers, the soothsayers of the znaradda were fired up, they hit the ships, they went along the zatotsі. Checking the submarine at night, Travkin moored it to the huge royal yacht "Polarna Zirka", which stood opposite the Hermitage. The commander of the "Polyarnaya Zirka" deployed the crew of the Shch-303 with a lot of strength, moreover, the floating base supplied a whole bunch of electricity and water.

After arriving in Leningrad, before Ivan Vasilyovich's anxiety for a chauvin, he was worried about his family (at that hour, the sailors made friends, and two donkeys were born in the new one). Travkin realized that Lydia Oleksandrivna’s team with children, as well as her niece, mother and grandmother caught evacuation. However, it didn’t turn out that way - the echelon of the echelon, so it didn’t happen to the executive boards. And in the meantime, at the blockade city, the daedal was getting hotter than the hedgehog, the supply of electricity was stuck, there was no drive. Delivery of food across Lake Ladozkoye and every other day was meagerly small. At the twenty days of leaf fall, the norms of the kind of bread were lowered - the workers were given 250 grams per day, and the children and the utrimantsy - 125 grams.

As a reminder of fate, Ivan Vasilyovich wrote to a student: “1 breast. People, women, children, mustaches are dying of hunger. Hovayut without strings (wood - on the vag of gold), wrapping in a yakіs lahmittya. 9 chest. Taking off the sheet from the mother. Write what came from Naro-Fominsk. Vіyna traveled to my place. 16 chest. The commissar passed a radio call - they called the fascists to Moscow. 19 chest. Moscow transport is not working. Powerful workers are brought through all the places to get to the plant. Ale go, repair ships, prepare mini-shells. Reference heroes". Sometimes Ivan Vasilyovich used to go home and spend a lot of time with the surpluses of his meager rations. For example, the number of products imported through Ladoga began to overwhelm the day's vitrata, and on the 24th of the day, the standard for the production of bread was reduced by three. Irrespective of the frost, people wandered into the streets and hugged one another. That day, hope triumphed at the city. And in the first days of September, a new deputy of sailors came to the underwater chapel, who went to the front. Travkin, having punished them, came: “You’re good about the ship, we’ll pay you ourselves.”

On the beginning of the new 1942, Ivan Vasilyovich wrote: “22 September. Frost forty degrees. For the firewood of the city dwellers, the rest of the trees are sporud. Submariners cut holes in the ice, from which people take water. Tsієї stinks in winter patronize these “water supplies”. 23 September. Having stayed at home. The rooms are cold, the windows are clogged with plywood, the walls are blackened in the light of the stove. The mothers of the squad, not having shaken the shock, lost their confidence. The lean squad is more likely to shift, the girl with sluggish faces of dystrophics, to sit on a bed and eat a yushka with carpenter's glue. Naprikintsі sіchnya Travkin provіv relatives in evacuation. At the hour of the trip, Lydia Oleksandrivna's mother died, and in the meantime, her grandmother died. The wife's husband herself froze her legs. Doctors propagandized to amputate the offending feet, but she was inspired by the year and wised them up. The commander of the "pike" himself knew a lot about it.

After the administration of the same, Ivan Vasilyovich devoted all his time to the repair of the underwater chovn, as well as to single, private and deep-boat services. Until the 23rd of the fierce, all the work on the ship was completed, and for example, the birch command was ahead of the commanders of the ships about the preparation by the enemy of the draft operation against. Even before the breakup of the Nevi, the Germans had secured the ice-covered ships for a one-hour artillery strike and repeat. Before the speech, German pilots trained on Lake Ilmen, on the ice of which German soldiers life-size images of Russian ships were painted. On the ice, everything went smoothly, so, if on the 4th quarter of the day the enemy’s aircraft flew to the place, they were shot down with friendly fire by anti-aircraft gunners. The attack was successful, and in two days the enemy spent 26 bombers. Travkin under the hour of the attack, regardless of the rush of the Polar Star and the underwater shell of the bomb, I was on the spot.

The trials of the flooding of the sub-water line for the fleet began to take place less than the grass of 1942. For the trials, a small river yard between the Okhtinsky and Livarny bridges was taken, de boules of the greatest depth. Shch-303 successfully tested all tests and was recognized by the brigade commanders as ready for a military campaign. At that time, the fascists, bachachi near the Russian underwater chovnas, a great threat to their shipping, erected a minefield fence near the Finnish butt. Vorog praised that the British sub-water lines would pass through the Danish channels in the Baltic Sea, and the Russian sub-water lines would pass from Kronstadt. However, the rest of the word was for the submariners, and in the campaign of 1942, the fleet’s ceremonies propagated a plan for the attack of submarines in three groups (10-12 units each), the first of which included ships with the largest trained crews. Syudi lay and Shch-303.

The first combat expedition of the ship of Ivan Vasilyovich arrived on the 4th day of 1942. The submarine under the diesels collapsed in the surface position, in front of it were minesweepers that protected the mines, on the sides - the boats of the guards, and in the sky the vinischuvachi were barrage. The next day Shch-303 went to the coast of the island of Lavensari, de Travkin, having taken the rest of the help and information about the situation near the sea. The Finnish flood of Travkin was successfully forcing in the underwater position, and in the evening of 11 lindens after surging to the surface to charge the batteries, the underwater chauvin was influenced by the enemy's aircraft. As long as the kermoves were leading the Shch-303 to the mud, the enemy from a long distance cut the fire on the submarine. And all of a sudden, the bombs began to explode, the lights went out on the chovn and the electric drives of the kerm went out of tune. The crew, while the electricians were wearing off the ushkodzhennya, passed on the manual keruvannya.

Close by, the “pike” of Travkina splintered, and unintentionally spotted the opponent’s transport - a vessel with a water capacity of seven thousand tons, as if three small ships passed under the guard. The underwater chauvin lay down on the combat course and was left with an unmarked dot, the docks were not seen by transport. The boats of the guards immediately rushed to the bіk chovn, and the ale vin was already a sign under the water. Pomіtivshi place zanurennya pike, guards released a series of clay bombs. For the first line of vibukhiv there was a friend, and then a third. Chauvin was shaking, the light bulbs were bursting, and Ivan Vasilyovich succeeded in laying the ship to the bottom, turning off all the mechanisms. On the boats, they realized that the Radyansky chauvin was entrusted here and did not miss the “vidoboots”. The hydroacoustic "pike" heard the sea as a whole, but the ships of the enemy did not go. Zreshtoy, the enemy brought an electric cable to the point of burying the underwater line. Showing the bottom of the veins on the berths of the place, laying down the ship, and the clay bombs hobbled anew. It was necessary to use the terms, and Shch-303 began to maneuver at low speeds. It was hard for the submariners, but the bombardment with clay bombs did not even think of pripinyatisya. In the situation, the commander vyrishiv take a course on the mine field, which was growing nearby. The ships of the enemy, spitting their mines, did not follow the "pike".

So Ivan Vasilyovich planted the forcing of another line of mine-merezhevy fences, which was called naisar-porkkaludskoy. This mine field was even more chilny and yoga Travkin passed on the great mud. For example, on the third year of a stressful transition, an antenna mine exploded over the channel. Such minis vibrated not when they hit the hull, but when they hit the dot of a long cable-antenna. The "pike" was very scared to finish, after which the sealing of the battery cans was broken, from which water was seen. It appeared even more famously. The submarine hooked up the signal line, and now, whether a fortune-telling ship, they could determine the misfortune of the line by buoys. When night came, Shch-303 whistled, and the sailors took the signal lines. So far away, recharge the batteries and Travkin continued the way to the destination.

Two days later, the ship arrived at the assigned position and began to search for the enemy. On the 17th, Ivan Vasilyovich’s underwater chapel was in the area of ​​the Rodsher lighthouse, and here the shift commander spotted the enemy’s ship. The submarine began to move into position for the attack, but at the last moment Travkin looked at the fact that the transport was sitting on a line of crew shortages. After the next day, the convoys arrived before the formation of the convoys and on the 19th day of the linden appearing in the area of ​​the island of Utє. The enemy’s check had a bad time, already on the coming day, six guards and two transports were revealed. A volley of two torpedoes from a close distance, falling down at the “biggest fish” - the lead transport at the largest thousand tons. In the wake of the tremors, the submarine was shattered and kicked so that the felling was above the water. However, the cistern of the swedish zanurennya continued to stumble, and the pike went swiftly into the mud. Vaughn, before the speech, at whom the city became 75 meters away with a map, and Travkin did not zanurennya to that. With a raptom, the submarine hit the ground with its nose. Glibinomir has seen less than 22 meters. Either the map was lying, or the crew had inaccurately assigned the location of the pike. Vyhid buv one - yaknaishvidshe go seaward.

It didn’t take a long time to look at the reconsideration - others came to replace the fortune-telling ships that had been bombed. The “pike” has already become very wild, and even a mechanical engineer, who looked at the order of Travkin pipelines, revealing in one of them a turn of wind, which unmasks the chauvin. The entire group of balloons was blocked and the guards, throwing off the rest of the series of bombs, closed their doors. Opivnochi Shch-303 spilled onto the surface, and cold air again reminded the insides of the ship.

On the evening of 23 limes, Ivan Vasilyovich ordered from the island of Dago, having seen at the periscope a German cruiser of the Emden type and five destroyers. Tse bula privabliva meta, and Travkin virishiv did not spend її. "Pike" fell on a combat course, and raptom to the central landing it was necessary to inform about the warning of torpedo launchers about those that the roofs of torpedo tubes do not open. The destroyers and the cruiser went, the submarine spilled, and the crew proceeded to look around, showing strong damage to the torpedo tubes through the impact of the shell on the ground. For a while, the sailors tried to correct the mischief, the smell of the stench turned out to be rather serious, and on the 27th linden Shch-303, the folded way home was opened.

Travkin far away passed the guards through the min positions of the enemy and the lines of ship patrols. Zustrich Shch-303, from Radyansk minesweepers and sea myslivtsy, was small in the Narvian sea for 4 and 5 sickle nights. At noon on the fourth day, the pike rose in the recognized place and in the darkness showed the silhouettes of ships. Raptom between them, a shooter began. Terminovo zanuryvshis, underwater choven flooding the battle area. The whole day she lay on the ground, and the coming night came again at the erected place. After the hoarseness of Travkin, having ordered the signalman to give the call with a lighter, and right there the machine guns stretched to the submarine - only the fortune-telling ships showed up to the submarine. "Pike" mittevo dropped, and dovkola was already bursting with clay bombs. Chauvin bubbling from side to side, the light went out, a cork squeaked from the wall, the turbopump of the surveillance tank blew out of the fret, leaks appeared from the defferent tank, a whiff of sulfuric gas blew from the accumulators - there the electric sea bag blew up there. After a strong black vibe on one of the running power plants, there was a short flicker, and the vinyl started to burn. Electricians with their bare hands looked at the insulation of the wires, at once rushing to punish the change of speed. The opposite ships, instead of hungry sharks, got stuck in Shch-303 - for 40 minutes, 96 bombs were fired around the ship. Sailors lied to those who had Travkin zoomed in to lead an underwater chauvin on the great deep. After that, Ivan Vasilyovich, having independently turned to the base, and at night on the 7th sickle of the yogo "pike" Lavensari got away. There the commander added additional information about the completion of the campaign. Immediately, I found out that the minesweepers of those sea myslivtsі dvіchі violated the chives, but, nastovhuyuchis on the overpowering forces of the enemy, went.

The passage near Kronstadt was unsuitable, and there Shch-303 was docked for repairs. And vіn mav chimaliy - it was necessary to lay holes in the cult and ulamkіv, clean the guints from the signal lines, straighten the stem, repair hvilerizi and torpedo aparati. The term for the repair of installations is borderline hard - twenty five deb. For the trip, five people from the crew were awarded the Order of Lenin, five - the Order of the Red Flag, the seamen's regiment - the Order of the Red Star. On the 15th of September, members of the Viyskovo fleet for the sake of the fleet, the commanders of the submarine troops (including Ivan Vasilyovich) and the military ships saw Smolny, who received the secretary of the Central Committee Andriy Zhdanov, who joined in the name of the order for the military battles.

Preparing for a new campaign, Travkin, following the maps and sounds, respectfully watched the last sailing, saw the fleet, spoke with the commanders of other freshmen. Visnovki were not welcome. Vorog, having sent additional ships to the Baltic from the nights, laid a great number of new mines, and in the islands and along the entire coast, they made clear posts. In addition, without harming the command of the Chervonoy Army in the Pomeranian and Danzian bays, the English set up hundreds of their own mines. Until the end of the war, the English Admiralty, despite all inquiries, did not give the Radyansk Union the coordinates of its own productions.

At the central post "Sch-303". Commander of the underwater chovna captain 3rd rank I.V.

The new departure of Shch-303 was in the middle of the third echelon. Shvydkysny minesweepers secured a safe road to Lavensary, and then the submarine collapsed on its own. Through the Dutch protiminnu position, Travkin broke through between the bank of Vikolla and the island of Veliky Tyuters. Rozrahunok appeared to be true, prote yakir mini was inserted here. Minripi lifted the sides of the ship, squeaking menacingly, and the crew of Hogland’s mine-merezheva position was successfully adjusted. In order to catch the night, in order to charge the battery, Ivan Vasilyovich laid an underwater choven on the ground near Rodsher Island. Nezabar hydroacoustic dopovіv yoma about the noise of guints. It appeared that in the area recommended to Radyansk submariners for charging batteries, a German submarine chauvin began.

Shch-303 didn’t reveal anything to herself, and, if it got dark, she rose from the ground and rushed to the back. Suddenly the sailors were on the island of Gotska Sanden, de sighted a transport vessel. Underwater chauvin pishov approached, and then Travkin looked at the ships ensigns of neutral Sweden. And after another hour the submarine reached its position near the peninsular part of the sea. Here, having run along the paths of German transport ships, they pierced the Finnish Finnish. Not long ago, the sailors discovered two such transports, as if they were in the protection of patrol ships. If the bearing on one of them to a water-tonnage of ten thousand tons became salvo, the commander of the underwater line punished the shooters. For a moment, the guard ships fired artillery fire near the water, but the “pike” already appeared under the water. Not far off the attack appeared, the 20th anniversary was carried out. Steep winds were walking on the sea, and on the ship that remained before the launch of the torpedoes, the circulation went to a greater depth, and the attack failed. Turn the borg to look like a zhovtnya, if Shch-303 revealed the majestic German timber carrier. The success of the attack was twisted in yoga failure - Travkin having punished to hit the transport from the side of the coast. After the volley came the command: "The right of the kerma is zanurennya for fifty meters." Guinty torpedoes roared out for a beat on the sides of Shch-303. It appeared that at once from the ships they were guarding our underwater chauvin. Luckily, the torpedoes went past, the enemy, which, without guessing the maneuver of the Russians, shot at the mannequin. The watchmen also did not bombard the Radyansky chauvin, maybe, being afraid to catch their own.

At whom the crew of the pike is fast and cold, misty leaf fall. On the 2nd, a radiogram came to the chapel, as if it were reminding that a tanker could have passed through this position from the palms. The ship was rightly detected by Travkinim, the cool winds were knocked out of the course of torpedoes. And after a few days of the first day, a new convoy was sent from two transports and two patrol ships. A three-torpedo volley of strings, having hooked up a guard ship and an enemy transport ship. On the same day, the pike straightened up to the island of Osmussar, at which Ivan Vasilyovich turned to the base. Bіlya Vikoll's banks "pike" were detected by the German protichovnov ships. The enemy, like in the first voyage, had been pursuing for a long time, and the Baltic pilots helped the sailors, as they sent a bomb attack on the enemy. Nezabar Shch-303 bula near Lavensari.

Winter came, and the Finnish inflow swarmed the cry. Wintering in Kronstadt lost less than three rows and the middle of them Shch-303, which was for repairs. Travkin for a deaky hour flooded the ship. The reason was even more unimaginable - from the besieged Leningrad, they called out to the capital, to the People's Commissariat. Viyskovo-Navy Fleet. The battle report of Ivan Vasilovich, his tactful priyomi, turned the respect of the specialists. In addition, for the honor of his brother, he was awarded to a foreign city - the Order of the "Viyskovo-sea cross". At this train, Travkin curled up to Ulyanovsk, where relatives lived in the evacuation. And the first day of spring 1943 brought a new joy to the commander of Shch-303. For being shown in battles with German zagarbniks, for masculinity and stamina, for organizing and high discipline, I was honored with the honors of the guard rank.

March 1, 1943. Presentation to the crew of the underwater casing "Sch-303" of the Guards Ensign

In spring 1943, the opposite side of the Finnish buttocks set up significant min fields (over 8500 hb). Near the seaside, fortune tellers flew, on the occupied islands noise direction-finding stations were installed, and additional fences were installed on the sea, over 300 ships were stewing behind them. The new tasks for the Shch-303 crew were to show the frontiers of the opposite barriers and to see if it was possible to pass through the waterways. On the evening of May 7, the commander of the brigade and the commander of the fleet arrived on the submarine. In a similar rank, they did not see off a skin submarine, but there was a special fluke here - they realized that there were not many chances to turn around from such a task. On May 11, Shch-303 left Lavensari and she straightened to the stop. In Hogland's position, the greatest danger was placed by proticaterns and magnetic minis, and Travkin's chauffeur fell forward even more correctly, approximately three kilometers a year. Successfully having reached the pivnіchno-shіdnoї part of Waindlo Island, the sailors handed over to the headquarters of the brigade a message about the advancement of the first position. Now you need to explore the Naisar-Porkkalaudsky rubіzh. Shch-303 went on a new day of pivnich. Through the skin pіvgodini Ivan Vasilovich stopped hіd і pіdnіmav pіdvodny choven pіd periscope. The picture was desolate - in front of fifty meters, one kind of one was dragged into two rows of barrels and buї protichovnovyh merezh. On the other side of the "pike" minrepi creaked, and the other side of the fence was guarded by the soothsayers of the opposite ships. Vilnoi vіd sіtok, vіdkritoї vіdk along the entire frontier did not appear. For the sailors, only one thing was left out - for a deep mischief to try to pass under the fences.

If it was dark, Travkin had begun to think about it, for an hour the passage of the water choven still got lost in the lines, and the hydroacoustic suddenly informed about the approach of the fortune-telling ships. It was impossible to break through the distance, and Ivan Vasilyovich, having fired the “pike”, pov_v її get out of the fence. Without seeing the enemy, the clay bombs began to explode in great series. The chauvin gradually changed the course, but the number of ships, which were retried, was left unchanged. In a deaky hour, one battery was discharged, and at the vіdsіkah, a lack of success began to appear again. For yoga economy, the commander, having punished us unemployed sailors, lie down and not break. And all the same it was too hard. If it was forty-fifty of the year after the rest of the ventilation in the air, a lot of sailors were rebuked in a non-sick station. Raptom without ordering the commander of the underwater chauvin began to split. Ivan Vasilyovich, having ordered the submarine to be prepared to the term of zanurennya, vlіz on the field and obimlіv. Near the chovn on the riverside stood the soothsayers of the ships and directed the mouths of the harmat on the "pike". However, not everything was safe - on the nose of the foreman of the hold, waving a white ganchirka. At this moment, they voiced about readiness to get bored and the commander went down. Shch-303 quickly drank water, and only the yard was left to float on the surface. While the ships of the enemy were rushing about at the mist of the “pike”, the chauvin lay on the ground.

For two years the enemy bombed the chauvin, and then the people who were exhausted, who were suffocating, continued to fight. Nareshti, the new ally came - dark. However, if the pike spilled, we immediately commemorated the sprat of the fortune-telling boats. I had a chance to go again to the boundary gulf and hovatsya at the nearest underwater depression. I again grimіl vibukhi, i again chauvin bubbling and roaring. Zreshtoy, the noise of the twins subsided, and the submarine blew again. PLO boats loomed in the distance, but the stench did not remember the underwater chauvin. In the forced regime, the batteries were charging, and Travkin corrected the radiogram about those who could not break through the other line of the fence. Nezabar pike was commemorated, and choven pishov pid water. For three nights the sailors tried to charge the batteries, and soon the enemy began to respect them. Zreshtoy, Travkin, do not let go, straightening the ship on the minefield. Safely passing to the middle, Shch-303 whistled and started to charge the batteries. Ten days after trying the underwater chauvin on the minefield, hovayuchis less than the enemy. On the heels of the won, it fell on the turnaround course and in the middle of the wormwood, having crossed a sudden Hogland mine-clearing position, turned to Kronstadt. Tsikavo, after leaving Finland, Travkin had a chance to talk to an officer of the German PLO. The enemy, having vvazhav, that at the grassy month the other line of the fence tried to pass a sprat of radyansky chovniv, and they were far away.

Dopovіvshi about the results of the exploration, Ivan Vasilovich vyslovu thought, scho under water lines not break through the fence. It’s a pity that Yogo was not immediately spoiled for thought. At the scythe for the breakthrough, the boules were inscribed with “S-9” by Milnikov and “S-12” by Bashchenko. Having offended the chovni, they perished at once with the crews. After that, the People's Commissar of the Fleet, having fenced in the break through the Baltic lines, and the Navy accepted the hardship of the struggle on communications.

September 27, 1944 the fate of Leningrad celebrated the lifting of the blockade. On the embankment of the Nevi, where Shch-303 stood, tens of thousands of Leningraders, weeping with joy, hovered alone. And without a hitch, Travkin took off his recognition for a new chauvin - K-52. The mustache of the commander to get rid of yoga on Shch-303 was not small, and Ivan Vasilovich built the submarine with a stretch of five dib.

At the spring of 1944, Finland capitulated, and the road to the sea became wider for the underwater chovnіv, although it passed through the mine-merezhevy fences along the narrow skerries. On August 28, the chief of staff of the brigade handed over to Travkin the order to virushat the Dantsizka Bay with a method of hitting the gates, and on the 9th of the leaf fall, K-52 left Gelsinki. The sea was stormy, and on the 15th of the fall of the leaves, Ivan Vasilyovich punished the vipility. He himself rushed to the field and there, having swung a clean coat, he chiseled up to the top of the shift officer. At the same time, a majestic whiff fell upon the ship. Vaughn beat the commander from the ground, throwing it in the middle of the tunic. Having flown five meters, Travkin crashed into the steel flooring of the central post, otrimavshi frizzy brain, a fracture of the right hand and an injury to the eye.

On the right - the commander of the "K-52" Captain 3rd rank Travkin Ivan Vasilovich (1908 - 1985)

Until 21 leaf fall, the submarine shuffled great transports, the smells did not trap. And at night on the 21st, while walking in the sight of some guards, at the course of the terminus, the K-52 submarine hit the ground hard. Naivazhchimi buli pshkodzhennya at the fourth vіdsіku. A part of the batteries broke, and the solarium, which gushed out of the poshkodzhenoy plivny system, flooded the battery pit, threatening short flashes. In addition, water gushed from a small hole. After that, like a hydroacoustic dopov, that the enemy ships went, the pumps were put on the edge of the tightness. If a little of the outboard water was left in the underwater chovn, Travkin gave the command to drain. The motorists worked everything possible, the water, like before, oozed into the misery. They were constantly moving, and the submarine, floundering near the surface position, arrived at Kronstadt before the end of the month. Thus ended the first trip of K-52.

The onset of the fighting pokhіd, which rose up at the fierce 1945, boomed in the distance. Until the end of the fierce Travkin, having attacked the fortune-teller convoy, which is formed from transport and ship protection. The impact of three bow torpedo tubes hitting two ships at once. The enemy, having broken down, did not break the blows, and K-52 was overwhelmed by the repetition. On the 4th of March, a submarine chauvin attacked another German transport, and on the 7th of January, it struck an enemy destroyer. The next day, Ivan Vasilyovich, having spent on a new convoy of three transports, attacked one of them in the distance. After returning to the base, the entire crew of the submarine was awarded orders.

The rest of Travkin's departure broke out in the middle of the day. On the 21st of the year, attacking the three with torpedoes, a great dry hunt, which is in the defense of two guards. The enemy was overcome by shukav choven, but the commander moved yogo to the other region, and already on April 22 he struck a new meta - a transport ship. At the same time, having taken off the radiogram, in a similar time it was mentioned about the assignment of the title of Hero of the Radyansky Union to him and the awarding of the submarine rank with the Order of the Red Ensign. A few days later, K-52 again successfully attacked a convoy of three transport ships. The oskelki chauvin did not follow through, Travkin turned and hit another enemy ship.

The rest of the war seemed especially important. Under one hour, the guard ships were revisiting this year for the underwater chute, "prasued" the restless sea and blasted about a hundred clay bombs with a blaze. If all the torpedoes on the K-52 were fired, the submarine took the “good” on the turn, and on the Day of the Peremoga came to Kronstadt. Ivan Vasilyovich, having spent a little time with the team, went to Leningrad, where his homeland turned. Velika Vitchiznyan war ended, and a new life began. Travkin of appointments on the post of the chief of staff of the division of training ships. Yogo was also taken away as a deputy of the Leningrad city for the sake of it. The turbot has problems with the new bulo rich. The main bula situation with the dwelling - a part of the dwelling fund required ground repairs, and another part in the fire was roughed up. The quantity of materials was already obmezhena. Dopomagav Іvan Vasilovich that at pratsevlashtuvannі demobіlіzovanim sailors. In his speeches about the war of the people with whom you had a chance to serve, the front-line soldier generously shared with the youth, speaking at various places in the country. Signs were given to old injuries, and in 1957 a young captain of the first rank Travkin pishov z zbroynyh forces was fired. However, sitting at home was a lot of strength, and Ivan Vasilyovich ruled until the editorship of the Marine Atlas (1959-1965), and then until the Ministry of the Navy (1966-1973). In addition, he wrote a number of military memoirs. The famous submariner pishov іz life on 14 chervnya 1985.

Lesson that characterizes Travkin, Ivan Vasilovich

- When I get it! I celebrated Arkharovim, they have a party, - saying Mykola.
– And you? - I turned back to Dolokhov. I had a good night's sleep, remembering what you didn't need to feed.
- So, maybe ... - Dolokhov coldly and angrily, glancing at Sonya and frowning, with such a look, as if at a club resentment, marveling at P'er, looking again at Mikola.
"It's є," thinking Mikola, and even more affirming himself in his admission to him, that Dolokhov immediately wrote an insult to him. Winning Natalka and asking, what is it?
- And I was kidding you, - said Natasha, sighing up to the new. - I said, you didn’t want to believe everything, - she said triumphantly, - having built up Sonya’s proposition.
Having taken care of Mykola Sonya a lot in the whole hour, even though it didn’t hurt, if you felt guilty. Dolokhov buv is worthy and in deyaky vidnosins a bright party for Sir Sonya. From the look of the old countess, that light could not help you. Before that, I felt like Mikoli, if I felt it, I was embittered against Sonya. Vіn was getting ready to say: “It's miraculous, it made sense, you need to forget the childish obіtsyanki and accept the proposition”; but I didn’t catch the blame more to say.
- You can show yourself! vona led, zowsim led! Natalia spoke up. - Vaughn said, scho to love іnshoy, - she added, troch pomochavsya.
“That way my Sonya couldn’t fix it!” Mykola thought.
- Mom didn’t ask for skilki, she did it, and I know she won’t change what she said ...
- And my mother asked її! - Z dokor said Mikola.
- Yes, - said Natalka. - You know, Nikolenko, don't be angry; but I know that you will not make friends with him. I know, God knows why, I know for sure, you will not make friends.
“Well, you don’t know what,” said Mikola; - Alemeni need to talk to her. What a beauty, Sonya! – adding wine, chuckle.
- Tse such charіvnіst! I will give you її. - I Natalka, having kissed her brother, flowed in.
Through the whiplash, Sonya went away, wicked, that wine was ruined. Mykola pidiishov kissed her hand before her. This was the first time that the stinks on their arrival were talking all the time and about their kohannya.
- Sophie, - having said timidly, and then we will all be more and more courageous, - as if you want to move not only in the bright, in the victorious party; ale vin a beautiful, gentry man ... vin my friend ...
Sonya interrupted yogo.
- I've already taken notice, - she said hastily.
- If you act for me, then I'm afraid that on me ...
Sonya interrupted Yogo again. Vaughn stared at the new one with a blissful, swaying look.
- Nicolas, don't tell me, - said the vagrant.
- No, I'm mushu. Maybe tse suffisance [arrogance] from my side, but to put it more simply. If you follow me, then I am obliged to tell you the whole truth. I love you, I think more...
“I’m old,” said Sonya, having caught herself.
- No, but I’ve been suffocated a thousand times and suffocated, wanting such a sense of friendship, trust, love, I can’t reach anyone, like you. Let's keep me young. Mom doesn't want anything. Well, I just don't blame anything. And I ask you to think about Dolokhov's proposition, - having said wine, forcibly forcing the call of his friend.
- Don't say me. I don't want anything. I love you, like a brother, and forever beloved, and nothing more is required of me.
- Vee angel, I'm not worth you, but I'm less afraid of fooling you. - Mikola once again kissed your hand.

Yogel Mav the most fun Bali in Moscow. This is what the mothers said, marveling at their adolescentes, [girls,] what they say about their own vicheni pas; they spoke and themselves adolescentes and adolescents, [girls and youths,] danced until they dropped; These grown-up girls and young people, like they came to the balls with a thought to go to them and those who know the best fun in them. What fate at these balls became two whores. The two grand princes of Gorchakov knew the names and went abroad, and they let more people into the glory of the bali. Especially at these balls there were those who didn’t have the master of that gentleman: buv, like fluff flying, following the rules of the art, the good-natured Yogel, who accepted receipts for lessons from all of his guests; only those who wanted to dance and have fun, how they want to 13 and 14 summer girl, which first dress the old cloth. Moustache, for rare vinnyatki, boules chi were given garnery: so suffocated the stench all laughed and their eyes lit up so much. Some of the best pupils danced to pas de chale, for which Natasha was the best, as she showed her grace; but at this, the rest of the ball, only ecosesi, anglesi and mazurka danced, which should be fashionable. The hall was taken by Yogel at Bezukhov's booths, and the ball was farther away, as everyone said. There was a lot of beautiful girls, and Rostov pannochki were the best. The stench of offense was especially happy and cheerful. That evening, Sonya, proud of Dolokhov's proposition, of her own explanation of Mikola, was still circling around the house, not letting the maiden smell her scythe, and now she shone brightly with rapturous joy.
Natasha, no less proud of them, that she was in the old cloth, at the right ball, she was more happy. Offenses were in white, muslin cloths with erysipelas stitches.
Natalya became zakokhana from the very same whims, as if she had gone to the ball. Vaughn didn’t succumb to anyone in particular, but she succumbed to everyone. The one at whom the vagrant marveled in that place, as if she marveled, in that vain she was smitten.
- Oh, how good! - All spoke out, podbіgayuchi to Sonia.
Mykola and Denisov walked through the halls, gazing at the dances slyly and patronizingly.
- Like she's sweet, you'll be fine, - Denisov said.
