An excerpt characterizing Stankevich, Igor Valentinovich
“Come on, Natasha,” Sonya told her. - I see you're right, take out the top one.“I don’t want to,” Natasha shouted, holding her loose hair over her sweaty face with one hand, pressing the carpets with the other. - Yes, press it, Petka, press it! Vasilyich, press! she screamed. The carpets pressed down and the lid closed. Natasha, clapping her hands, squealed with joy, and tears gushed from her eyes. But it lasted for a second. She immediately set to work on another matter, and they completely believed her, and the count was not angry when they told him that Natalya Ilyinishna had canceled his order, and the courtyards came to Natasha to ask: should the cart be tied or not and was it enough imposed? The matter was argued thanks to Natasha's orders: unnecessary things were left and the most expensive things were packed in the most cramped way.
But no matter how hard all the people fussed, by late night not everything could be packed. The countess fell asleep, and the count, postponing his departure until morning, went to bed.
Sonya and Natasha slept without undressing in the sofa room. That night, a new wounded man was being transported through Povarskaya, and Mavra Kuzminishna, who was standing at the gate, turned him around to the Rostovs. This wounded man, according to Mavra Kuzminishna, was a very significant person. He was carried in a carriage completely covered with an apron and with the top down. An old man, a respectable valet, was sitting on the goats with the driver. Behind the cart were a doctor and two soldiers.
- Come to us, please. The gentlemen are leaving, the whole house is empty,” said the old woman, turning to the old servant.
- Yes, - answered the valet, sighing, - and not to bring tea! We have our own house in Moscow, but far away, and no one lives.
“We are welcome, our masters have a lot of everything, please,” said Mavra Kuzminishna. - Are you very unhealthy? she added.
The valet waved his hand.
- Do not bring tea! You need to ask the doctor. And the valet got off the goat and went up to the wagon.
“Good,” said the doctor.
The valet again went up to the carriage, looked into it, shook his head, ordered the coachman to turn into the yard, and stopped beside Mavra Kuzminishna.
- Lord Jesus Christ! she said.
Mavra Kuzminishna offered to bring the wounded man into the house.
“The Lord won’t say anything…” she said. But it was necessary to avoid climbing the stairs, and therefore the wounded man was carried into the wing and laid in the former room of m me Schoss. This wounded man was Prince Andrei Bolkonsky.
The last day of Moscow has come. It was clear, cheerful autumn weather. It was Sunday. As on ordinary Sundays, the gospel was announced for mass in all churches. No one, it seemed, could yet understand what awaited Moscow.
Only two indicators of the state of society expressed the situation in which Moscow was: the mob, that is, the class of poor people, and the prices of objects. Factory workers, servants and peasants in a huge crowd, in which officials, seminarians, noblemen got involved, on this day, early in the morning, went to the Three Mountains. After standing there and not waiting for Rostopchin and making sure that Moscow would be surrendered, this crowd scattered around Moscow, to drinking houses and taverns. Prices that day also indicated the state of affairs. The prices of weapons, gold, carts and horses kept going up, while the prices of paper money and city things kept going down, so that in the middle of the day there were cases when cabbies took out expensive goods, like cloth, from the floor, and for a peasant horse paid five hundred rubles; furniture, mirrors, bronzes were given away for free.
In the sedate and old house of the Rostovs, the disintegration of the former living conditions expressed itself very weakly. With regard to people, it was only that three people from a huge household disappeared during the night; but nothing was stolen; and in relation to the prices of things, it turned out that the thirty carts that came from the villages were enormous wealth, which many envied and for which Rostov was offered huge money. Not only did they offer a lot of money for these carts, from the evening and early morning of September 1, orderlies and servants from wounded officers came to the Rostovs' courtyard and dragged the wounded themselves, placed at the Rostovs and in neighboring houses, and begged the Rostovs' people to take care of that they were given carts to leave Moscow. The butler, who was approached with such requests, although he felt sorry for the wounded, resolutely refused, saying that he would not even dare to report this to the count. No matter how pitiful the remaining wounded were, it was obvious that if you gave up one cart, there was no reason not to give up another, that's all - to give up your crews. Thirty carts could not save all the wounded, and in the general disaster it was impossible not to think about yourself and your family. So thought the butler for his master.
Waking up on the morning of the 1st, Count Ilya Andreich quietly left the bedroom, so as not to wake the countess who had just fallen asleep by morning, and in his purple silk dressing gown went out onto the porch. The carts, tied up, stood in the yard. The carriages were at the porch. The butler stood at the entrance, talking to an old batman and a young, pale officer with a bandaged arm. The butler, seeing the count, made a significant and stern sign to the officer and orderly to leave.
- Well, is everything ready, Vasilich? - said the count, rubbing his bald head and looking good-naturedly at the officer and orderly and nodding his head to them. (The count liked new faces.)
- At least harness now, Your Excellency.
- Well, that's nice, the countess will wake up, and with God! What are you, gentlemen? he turned to the officer. - In my house? The officer moved closer. His pale face suddenly flushed bright red.
- Count, do me a favor, let me ... for God's sake ... shelter somewhere on your carts. I don’t have anything with me here ... I don’t care in the cart ... it doesn’t matter ... - The officer had not yet managed to finish, as the batman turned to the count with the same request for his master.
- BUT! yes, yes, yes,” said the count hastily. - I'm very, very happy. Vasilyich, you order, well, clear one or two carts there, well, there ... what ... what is needed ... - with some kind of vague expressions, ordering something, the count said. But at the same moment, the officer's warm expression of gratitude already confirmed what he ordered. The count looked around him: in the yard, at the gate, in the window of the wing, one could see the wounded and orderlies. They all looked at the count and moved towards the porch.
- Please, Your Excellency, to the gallery: what do you want about the paintings there? the butler said. And the count entered the house with him, repeating his order not to refuse the wounded who ask to go.
“Well, then, you can put something together,” he added in a low, mysterious voice, as if afraid that someone would hear him.
At nine o'clock the countess woke up, and Matryona Timofeevna, her former maid, who had acted as chief of the gendarmes in relation to the countess, came to report to her former young lady that Marya Karlovna was very offended and that the young lady's summer dresses should not stay here. When asked by the countess why mme Schoss was offended, it was revealed that her chest had been removed from the cart and all the carts were being untied - they were taking off the good and taking the wounded with them, whom the count, in his simplicity, ordered to take with him. The countess ordered to ask her husband.

The eve of the new, 1995, year was the last for almost a hundred soldiers and officers of the regiment, whose deputy commander was Igor Stankevich. Combat units of the 81st Guards Motor Rifle Regiment entered Grozny on December 31 in the morning.
"I'm taking command!"
On that day, I was at the location of the rear units. The wounded commander of the regiment, Alexander Yaroslavtsev, was brought to our first-aid post, - says Igor Stankevich. “Everything is bad there, you should go to the city. There is no one to command,” the colonel told me.
Lieutenant Colonel Stankevich built the remnants of the regiment and gave the order: "I take command!". On January 1, 1995, his column of armored vehicles entered Grozny.
There was very strong resistance, and it turned out that none of our convoy met, - continues Igor Stankevich. - On the radio received an order to make a decision independently. Under direct shelling, he began to withdraw the column from the city in order to save people. At one of the intersections of five armored vehicles, he landed fighters and decided to return to pick up the lost and wounded.
At this time, an order came to set up a checkpoint on Mayakovsky Street and guard the intersection. Only later did the fighters learn that they were covering the command post of General Rokhlin. Under his command, they fought for another two weeks.
"You have to do your job well"
The wife of the Hero of Russia Larisa Stankevich then served as a senior lieutenant of the medical service. In January 1995 she was sent to Grozny. There the couple met.
An amazing thing happened, - Igor Stankevich recalls, - my wife said that during the whole month, while I was gone, she constantly listened to one song. And I had one single cassette. And then it turns out that we were listening to the same song - “My Betrothed Mummers” by Irina Allegrova. In general, during the fighting, I did not think about the family.
Igor Stankevich is often asked the question: "Were you very scared?" As the Hero of Russia admitted, it was scary only once.
I went through Afgan, special forces service, - says Igor Stankevich. – But when I found myself in Grozny and realized that I would have to make all the decisions myself, I felt a terrible relief. In fact, do not be afraid to think about what will happen tomorrow. You just need to do your job.
Igor Stankevich was able to organize fighting. This helped to avoid the complete defeat of the regiment. For courage and heroism shown during the performance of a special task, by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of October 19, 1995, Lieutenant Colonel Stankevich Igor Valentinovich was awarded the title of Hero of the Russian Federation. In addition to the Hero's star, he was awarded the Soviet Orders of the Red Star, "For Service to the Motherland in the Armed Forces of the USSR" 3rd degree, and medals. Now Igor Stankevich heads the Samara regional organization "Heroes of the Fatherland".
Wednesday, December 14 memorable date for relatives and friends of soldiers who died in combat in the North Caucasus. On this day 17 years ago, the 81st regiment left the Samara region for Chechnya. About how the assault on Grozny took place and what to do for the guys who returned from the hot spots, the site told Mr. Hero of Russia, head of the Samara regional public organization "Heroes of the Fatherland" Igor Stankevich. His name is engraved on a memorial stele of Heroes, installed near the House of Officers in Samara, and a bust is installed in the memorial of the Novosibirsk Military School.
- Igor Valentinovich, please tell us about your fights and awards.
- I started my service in special forces, where I served for six years. Then for two years I was a detachment commander during military operations in Afghanistan. For this, I was awarded the Order of the Red Star and the Order for Service to the Motherland of the third degree. And then it was Peaceful time. In 1993 our 81st motorized rifle regiment As part of the 90th Panzer Division, they were sent from Germany to the Samara Region. In December 1994, we were sent to carry out a combat mission, first to Mozdok in North Ossetia, and only then - in columns to the border of Grozny. On Wednesday, December 14, we celebrated the 17th anniversary of the start of the Chechen war. On December 31, 1994, our regiment entered Grozny. Then our commander was wounded, communications and organization were broken. In a word, a fight is a fight. Then we received information about the wounding of the chief of staff of the regiment, Semyon Burlakov, and I took command of the regiment. The fighting went on for several days. Our first priority was the withdrawal of the wounded and civilians from the city, the collection of the lost. Here I would like to tell you about the feat of Senior Ensign Grigory Kirichenko. He became a hero not by shooting at the enemy, but by taking the wounded out of the besieged city. Thanks to the feat of Grigory Kirichenko, several dozen people survived. For this he received the title of Hero of the Russian Federation. By the way, now he lives in the village of Roshinsky, Samara region. And you know, I agree that during the war it is not always the main thing to shoot. The main thing in war, oddly enough, is not to kill.
- You passed with honor not only the test of war, but also a much more difficult test - the test of the world. However, not all people who have gone through hot spots easily fit into civilian life after the war? How did you deal with it yourself? What would you like to wish to those who have recently returned from the hot spots?
“I really feel sorry for the young guys who go through this terrible shock and then live with it all their lives. Unfortunately, our country has not yet developed a decent method for restoring people who have passed through hot spots. But after all, they all received psychological trauma. It is not noticeable, not visible, but inside a person it is. After all, if my soldiers collected severed heads, then, probably, this affected them.
In my opinion, first of all, such young people need to remember that they have a family: parents, loved ones, close people. Secondly, do not get hung up on what has been, what has passed. To be honest, I myself have never turned to specialists about my state of mind. But I found one way for myself that helped me after the war in Afghanistan. I started writing, I described everything that happened to me. You can't call it stories, it's just that when I didn't sleep for several nights in a row, I took up a sheet of paper and wrote, and immediately it became easier. Therefore, if one of the guys starts writing, I think it will help them. Moreover, it does not matter here to become a great writer, you need to do it for yourself. This is one way to take off the heavy burden of memories. I advise young people not to be shy and talk about their problems received in hot spots. It is very important. Now people who went through the war are being helped by the war veterans hospital and various public organizations.
- What does your community organization do? What events does he hold in Samara?
– Our organization includes two heroes Soviet Union and four heroes of Russia. In addition, the organization has community group These are the families of fallen heroes. The main task of our organization is patriotic education younger generation, protecting the interests of heroes and their families, as well as working with other public organizations. This year we took an active part in the November 7 parade. So, I commanded the parade. In addition, we organized the exhibition "From St. George Knights to the heroes of the Fatherland. On large posters, we depicted the whole history of the heroes on the example of the inhabitants of the Samara region. Our organization showed this exposition twice in Moscow. In Samara, the opening of the exhibition took place in April.
- Igor Valentinovich, why did you go to study military affairs?
- I am the son, grandson and great-grandson of a Russian officer, and I am proud of it. I am glad that my eldest son is now a reserve officer, and the youngest went to study at military department. I believe that this profession should be passed down from generation to generation. Although, to be honest, as a child I did not really dream of becoming a military man. When I was a boy, I was most interested in such subjects as physics and mathematics. But it so happened that I made a choice in favor of military service and I don't regret it for a second.
- Today, contract service is becoming more and more popular. What do you think it is connected with? What would you like to wish to those who go to serve in hot spots and beyond?
- I have always been in support of the contract service. When I served in the special forces, many times I came across the fact that a soldier, ending his service, asked to be left in the army. True, many conscripts wanted to stay. Then it was prestigious, and even now it is prestigious to serve in the so-called elite units. Of course, I would like all contractors, regardless of rank, to have a decent salary. So that a person who joins the army as a simple private does not think about how to earn more money. In my opinion, a soldier should not strive for high ranks. Look, the specialist at the factory has been making parts for the aircraft all his life and does it well. So every day a soldier must do his job well.
I would like to wish all the guys who choose a military career for themselves, first of all, health, as well as good commanders. So that they always ask harshly, but that this demand is only for the benefit of subordinates. At the school, we were always told that the high demand of the commander from the subordinate is the highest concern for him. And there is also such an expression that any disorganization in the army pays off later in peacetime, and in blood in war. And this is a fact. A person must always be ready to carry out an order, and then he will have a normal service.
- If you imagine that fate gave you a second chance to live your life again, would you change your profession?
“I wouldn't change my profession. I believe that the assessment that my relatives and my family give me is enough for me to repeat my path again. Probably, if I had gone into science, I would have achieved something in this industry. But I did what all the men in the Stankevich family did - I served the Motherland.
