Petrishchevo village zoya kosmodemyanskaya how to get there. Museum of Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya in Petrishchevo is waiting for a large-scale reconstruction

The village of Petrishchevo, Ruzsky District, Moscow Region, is the site of the feat of the partisan Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya. The first woman to be awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union (posthumously) during the Great Patriotic War. Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya became a symbol of the heroism of Soviet citizens in the Great Patriotic War, the Russian Joan of Arc.

In the village of Petrishchevo there is:

• Memorial Museum of Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya,
• monument to Zoya, author - L. Tverdyanskaya
• the hut where Zoya was tortured
• monument at the hut
• obelisk at the place of execution
• place of first burial

The monument to Zoya by Tverdyanskaya stood until 1956, and this one was transported to the village of Petrishchevo, 5 kilometers from the highway, to the site of Zoya's feat. The ashes of the girl were transferred to the Novodevichy cemetery in Moscow in 1942.

The museum has a lot of clothing and photo materials, as well as documentary information about wartime and exploits during the war.

"Citizens! Don't stand, don't look. We must help the Red Army fight, and our comrades will take revenge on the German fascists for my death. The Soviet Union is invincible and will not be defeated."

"German soldiers! Before it's too late, surrender. No matter how much you hang us, but you don’t outweigh everyone, there are 170 million of us.”

“I’m not afraid to die, comrades! It is happiness to die for your people!

In memory of the feat of Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya, monuments were erected in many Soviet cities, streets were named after her, films were made, paintings and literary works were written.

There is a very tragic and memorable place in the Ruzsky district of the Moscow Region - the village of Petrishchevo, where on November 29, 1941, the Nazis executed the young partisan Tanya - this is how Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya called herself during interrogation. September 13 marks the 91st anniversary of the birth of the Hero of the Soviet Union, who has become a symbol of courage and unbending stamina. The journalist Pyotr Lidov was the first to tell about this in the Pravda newspaper, and the whole world learned about the feat of a young Muscovite. In the fall, tourists come to Petrishchevo, the place of the feat and execution of Zoya.

Moscow schoolgirl

People travel in large and small groups, families, alone. “After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the flow of tourists here has noticeably decreased. And now (how joyful it is to realize this!) I see a new interest in the feat, the personality of Zoya. Perhaps this can be called an interest in one's own history. By the anniversary of the heroine (celebrated in 2013), the exposition of our museum has been updated, replenished with new exhibits,” said Nadezhda Efimenkova, director of the local museum.

Tourists make their first stop at the 86th kilometer of the Minsk highway. Here, on a high pedestal, is perhaps the most famous monument to a partisan. The poet Nikolai Dmitriev wrote about her:

The museum in the village of Petrishchevo was opened in 1956. At the same time, a monument to Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya was erected in front of him. The exposition of the museum is located in seven halls. It is opened by the work of the sculptor M. Manizer "Zoya". We see a girl with a short haircut and a stubborn manly look. Nearby, the words “It is happiness to die for your people” are inscribed on the wall. Their heroine uttered a few minutes before the execution.

The guides talk in great detail and emotionally about Zoya's childhood, youth and exploits. She was born in the Tambov region, then the family moved to Moscow. From grades 1 to 9, Zoya and her brother Sasha studied at the 201st Moscow school.

The museum exhibits a Komsomol ticket, letters of commendation, school notebooks, photographs, and the girl's needlework. She did embroidery. Napkins, a towel, an apron embroidered by her have been preserved. Museum visitors look with interest at the intricate patterns on these products. Here you can see Zoya's "peaceful" clothes - a dress and a jacket.

Zoya studied for fours and fives. My brother had different grades. "Excellent" received only in mathematics and physics. These items were his favorites. The boy drew well, wanted to become an artist. The museum exhibits his self-portrait.

Brother and sister were not the same age, but studied in the same class. In the summer of 1941 they completed nine classes. On June 21, they came to the graduation party of high school students, had fun from the heart, sang, danced. For them it was the last peaceful night.

partisan friendship

The second hall of the museum is dedicated to the beginning of the Great Patriotic War. On the wall is a map of Plan Barbarossa. This is the famous plan of attack of Nazi Germany on the USSR. According to it, Hitler intended to defeat our army in 6-8 weeks, reach the Arkhangelsk-Astrakhan line and turn our country into a German colony.

Brother and sister Kosmodemyansky worked in the autumn at the Krasnaya Zarya state farm, helped to harvest, worked at the Borets plant, which produced shells. October came, the enemy was on the very outskirts of Moscow. On October 20, 1941, the capital was declared under a state of siege. Thousands of volunteers went to the front. Zoya also decided to defend the capital with weapons in her hands. On October 31, she was at home for the last time. She, along with other volunteers, is sent to the village of Kuntsevo, where military unit No. 9903 was located. There, in a very short time, they are taught military affairs: how to use personal weapons, throw Molotov cocktails, mine roads and bridges, correctly navigate the terrain using a compass.

It was here, in military unit No. 9903, that young teachers Lelya Kolesova and Claudia Miloradova, students Zhenya Poltavskaya, Vera Voloshina, Sasha Gribkova and schoolgirl Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya met and became friends. The fate of these girls was tragic. Only Claudia Miloradova survived. The rest were hanged by the Nazis near Moscow in November 1941. Zhenya Poltavskaya and Sasha Gribkova were executed among eight Komsomol members in Volokolamsk. Zoya really asked for a job in this city near Moscow, but she was left in the unit.

Frau partisan

When Kosmodemyanskaya left for a mission in Petrishchevo, she knew nothing about the fate of her friends. On the night of November 21, a sabotage and reconnaissance group consisting of three people (commander Boris Krainov, Pavel Klubkov, Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya) crossed the front line near the village of Obukhovo, headed to Petrishchevo, where the fascist headquarters was located.

At one o'clock in the morning three houses in the village caught fire. It was the commander and Zoya who completed the task. But Zoya in the forest could not find her. Left alone, not afraid. The next night she again went to Petrishchevo. I decided to set fire to a large stable on the outskirts of the village. There were a lot of horses and weapons. Zoya was tracked down by the traitor Sviridov and told the Nazis.

For the first time, the journalist Pyotr Lidov spoke about the feat of Kosmodemyanskaya in the Pravda newspaper. In the Petrishchev Museum you can find this issue of the newspaper dated January 27, 1942, where his essay "Tanya" was published.

“It has not yet been established who she is and where she comes from ... That was in the days of the greatest danger for Moscow ...

Moscow selected brave volunteers and sent them across the front to help partisan detachments ...

The small village of Petrishchevo, surrounded by forest, was crammed with German troops ... Ten to twenty soldiers were stationed in each hut. The owners of the houses huddled on the stove or in the corners ...

One night, someone cut all the wires of the German field telephone, and soon the stable of the German military unit was destroyed and there were seventeen horses in it.

The next evening, the partisans again came to the village. He made his way to the stable, in which there were over two hundred horses of the cavalry unit. He was wearing a hat, a fur jacket, quilted cotton trousers, felt boots, and a bag over his shoulder. Approaching the stable, the man put the revolver in his bosom, which he held in his hand, took out a bottle of gasoline from his bag, poured it out and then bent down to strike a match.

At that moment, the sentry crept up to him and wrapped his arms around him from behind. The partisan managed to push the German away and grab his revolver, but he did not have time to fire. The soldier knocked the weapon out of his hands and raised the alarm.

The partisan was led into the house and immediately they saw that she was a very young girl, tall, swarthy, black-browed, with lively dark eyes and dark short hair combed up.

The excited soldiers ran back and forth and, as the mistress of the house, Maria Sedova, reports, everyone repeated: “Frau partisan, Frau partisan,” which means in Russian a partisan woman ... "

Step into immortality

In the house of Maria Sedova, Kosmodemyanskaya's weapons were taken away, and they were sent with their hands tied to the Voronins' house, where the headquarters was located. There they were interrogated, tortured, beaten, led barefoot and undressed through the snow. One young Fritz could not stand the interrogation, went to the kitchen, buried his head in his hands. So he sat until Zoya was taken to the Kuliks' house (now it has become a branch of the museum), where she spent the last night in her life.

The next day, the Nazis set up a gallows, Zoya was taken to execution. They hung around her neck a board with the inscription "Pyro" in Russian and German. The inhabitants were driven to the place of execution. The German photographer fiddled with the equipment for a long time. At this time, Zoya addressed the audience with a fiery speech.

Two witnesses of the terrible execution have survived to our time. These are the Sedov sisters - Valentina Nikolaevna and Nina Nikolaevna. They have been living in Moscow for a long time. But in the summer they visit their native Petrishchevo.

“In 41, I was 10 years old. I was the eldest child in the family. When Zoya was seized by the Nazis and brought to our house, my sister Nina and I watched what was happening from the stove. The girl was standing by the stove. The Nazis now and then brought lanterns to her face and said: "Frau, frau." The newspaper wrote that she was in felt boots. This is wrong. The partisan was in boots. She had a Molotov cocktail bag slung over her shoulder. There was a pistol in a beige holster. All this was taken by the Nazis. Hands back and led. Our mother was sitting in a corner with a small child. Zoya looked at her carefully, said nothing. My sister and I got off the stove. I saw a girl very close by, ”recalls Valentina Sedova.

“In the morning, my grandmother says: “The Germans are building something by the pond.” It turned out they were building a gallows. An interpreter went from house to house, ordered everyone to leave. Mom was a little late, she was dressing her little brother Borya. And my sister and I went.

I remember November 29 was very cold. Then winter came early. Everything was frozen, covered in snow. They brought Zoya. She was no longer wearing a sweater. She was dressed in some kind of dark-colored tunic (later I found out that the Nazis had taken away her warm clothes). For a long time the Nazis did not start their dirty work. They were waiting for some boss from Gribtsov. The road was covered with snow, he could not get there in time.
Zoya addressed the audience with a speech: “German soldiers, surrender before it's too late. All the same, victory will be ours... Now you will hang me, but I am not alone. We are 200 million. You don’t hang everyone… I’m not afraid to die for my people…”.

She said a lot. It was written about in the newspapers. And it's all true. The girl's body hung for more than a month. The Nazis did not allow her to be buried. When our troops approached, they removed the traces of the crime, threw the body of the partisan into a snow-covered ravine. The peasants buried her on the outskirts of the forest. There is now a memorial. In May 1942, the heroine was buried with honors at the Novodevichy Cemetery, ”says Valentina Nikolaevna, who witnessed this tragedy.

Konstantin Simonov was right when he wrote: “Heroes do not die. The brave have only immortality."

Five photographs of the execution of Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya are known. They were found in the field bag of the murdered fascist. Recently, another photograph was sent to the museum in Petrishchevo from Saratov, found in the archives of a deceased war veteran by his relatives. Apparently, a front-line soldier took this picture from a dead soldier.

Newspapers wrote

In the museum you can see military newspapers telling about the feat of Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya, which inspired the Soviet soldiers.

Correspondent of the newspaper "Forward to the enemy!" Major Dolin wrote on October 3, 1943: “A few months ago, the 332nd Infantry Regiment, whose soldiers and officers brutally tortured Zoya, was marked on the sector of our front. Upon learning that the regiment of the executioner Ruderer, who had executed Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya, was standing in front of them, the soldiers vowed not to leave any of the warriors of this damned regiment alive. In the battles near the village of Verdino, the German regiment of the executioners of our Zoya was defeated.

Zoya's brother, tank lieutenant Alexander Kosmodemyansky, also participated in the battles against the 197th Nazi infantry division. “Parts of the N-th formation are finishing off the remnants of the 197th Infantry Division in fierce battles ... Five German photographs of the massacre of the Nazis over Zoya, published in the Pravda newspaper, caused a new wave of anger among our fighters, commanders. Here, Zoya’s brother, tanker of the guard, Lieutenant Alexander Kosmodemyansky, bravely fights and avenges his sister, ”wrote in the army newspaper“ Destroy the enemy! war correspondent Major Vershinin.

It will begin to be erected next year in the Ruza district. The building itself is proposed to be built in the shape of a star. Infrastructure will definitely appear - a cinema hall and a cafe.

On weekends, excursions are scheduled here by the hour. Dozens of people come here - 80 kilometers from Moscow. This old village house is a museum where the memory of the girl Zoya is carefully preserved.

“By this blouse, we can easily recognize Zoya among our classmates in the photograph of 9th grade students,” shows Tatyana Tenkova, a researcher at the Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya Museum.

She went to war from school - voluntarily. Tall, curly, with expressive dark gray eyes. At first, she was not taken to the fighters of the fighter-sabotage group - too memorable appearance for military intelligence.

But Zoya did not back down. In Petrishchevo, together with her colleagues, the girl was sent on a mission: the order of the Supreme High Command was to burn the settlements in the rear of the German troops. The second attack on Moscow began, so it was decided to use the scorched earth tactics in order to deprive the enemy of shelter during frosts. Zoya had only completed part of the building when she was captured.

Witnesses of those events still live here. The headquarters of the enemy was located in the house of Sergei Iosifovich.

“Zoya was caught in the corner where the last house is, that settlement. They caught her there, and they brought her here for interrogation to us,” says Sergey Kovalchuk, a resident of the village of Petrishchevo.

This house has been rebuilt a long time ago. But the place where Zoya spent her last night has been preserved - the hut of the Kulik family, before the execution the girl was brutally tortured here. They beat him, put out cigarettes and matches on his body, burned his face with a kerosene lamp - not a single sound.

“The girl had to walk barefoot, in one shirt, in the cold. He took her in the cold, brought her into the house for 30-40 minutes,” says museum employee Nadezhda Savosina.

The hut was recently restored. They poured the foundation, made the roof, replaced almost half of the crowns of the wooden house. The situation is more complicated with the museum building - there are no communications here: no heat, no sewerage. The house itself is slowly falling apart.

“Here, you see, the processes of decay, that is, completely destroyed,” says Olga Polyakova, director of the Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya Museum.

The building itself is not a historical monument, and there is no point in reconstructing it. Therefore, it was decided to build a new building nearby, more spacious, in the form of a five-pointed star. While the preliminary concept is ready.

“Now we are just working on this – how it should fit into the structure of the building. For example, this sketch shows that the star is in the center of the museum itself, and around the museum there are halls with an exposition,” said Mikhail Khaikin, chief architect of the Moscow region .

The exposition will be expanded, made more modern, multimedia and interactive technologies will be introduced. In addition, a cinema hall and a cafe will appear inside.

The museum is planned to be built on a field in fact in the center of the village of Petrishchevo, literally 200 meters from the old building, next to the house of the Kulik family, where Zoya was tortured, and not far from the place of her execution. As a result, it will be a single memorial complex.

In the near future, the project will be finalized, then it will be discussed with experts, veterans and local residents, and only after that it will be approved. Construction will begin at the beginning of next year, plus a year will be spent on all the work. All this time the old museum will operate.

On November 29, 1961, the school museum was opened. The war is over, but the memory of the dead, immeasurable gratitude to them entered the life of our people with pain.

Starting the creation of the Museum of Military Glory of school graduates Zoya and Alexander Kosmodemyansky, the organizers did not aim at a quick collection of the most effective materials, but at a thorough search for evidence of the spiritual growth and maturation of the heroes. The mother donated the personal belongings of Zoya and Alexander to the museum.

Lyubov Timofeevna Kosmodemyanskaya, teachers Zoya and Alexander, classmates and peers of the heroes, war and labor veterans took part in the opening of the museum.

The museum became the center of a large and versatile educational work. Its asset and council were created. The practice included: the use of museum exhibits for history lessons, the implementation of educational tasks using museum materials and the direct conduct of lessons at its stands.

Our 201st school celebrated its centenary in the 2018-2019 academic year and more than 60 of them are named after heroes. The school museum turned 57 years old, despite such a serious age, the museum exposition is carefully maintained, replenished, and was modernized in the anniversary year. The Museum maintains close cooperation with the veterans of the 402nd Missile Regiment, in the lists of personnel of which the Hero of the Soviet Union, Senior Lieutenant A.A. Kosmodemyansky was forever enlisted; veterans of military unit 9903, whose fighter was Hero of the Soviet Union Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya; veterans of local wars; veterans of pedagogical work of school No. 201, former students. To date, the asset of the museum is students from grades 3 to 11. The fundamental principle of this work is the inextricable link between generations.
The uniqueness of the school museum is that it provides an opportunity in all areas to take advantage of the experience of previous generations and make it an ally in the educational process. Therefore, the most important task of the school museum is the effective use of this "wealth" for educating students of Russian identity. Immersion in a special historical environment, objective coverage of events through the fate of specific people occurs during meetings with veterans: Tamara Nikolaevna Kharlamova - a child of besieged Leningrad, a representative of the council of veterans of pedagogical work of school 201 (lesson "Thank you Heroes, thanks to the soldiers for defending the world, then - in forty-five!”); captain of the II rank, submarine officer, participant in hostilities on the territory of foreign states - Yuri Konstantinovich Olenev (meetings with students of the 3rd - 8th grades "And the enemy will never get your head bowed ..." and "Women scouts" ); with soldiers-internationalists: Podosenov A. V. - a veteran of the Academy of Management of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia; Pavlishin B. D. - Chairman of the Commission for the Patriotic Education of Youth of the Northern District, veteran of military service, colonel; Razmaznin A.N. - a participant in the hostilities in Afghanistan, Angola, Ethiopia (“Lessons of Courage”, dedicated to the 30th anniversary of the withdrawal of Soviet troops from Afghanistan); on the eve of the anniversary of the example of love of life Alexei Maresyev, in the school museum at the "Lesson of Courage" Kovalenko V.I., a veteran of pedagogical work of the 201st, walked with the young Kosmodemyants "The path of the legendary Soviet pilot. After such lessons, the letters and front-line awards that lie at home in a box acquire value, significance and become relics for the youngest members of the family. It is here, in the museum, that the knowledge that the children have acquires an emotional coloring, it becomes possible to better understand historical events, let them through themselves, and, therefore, form their own opinion.
In gratitude to our great-grandfathers, who accomplished a great feat that was not in world history, primary school students prepared events dedicated to the Day of the 75th anniversary of the lifting of the complete blockade of Leningrad and the 74th anniversary of the Great Victory. Museum activists “flicked through the history of the page”, telling about exploits on the fronts and in the rear, about helping children to adults and in partisan detachments, in hospitals and in workshops at factories producing military products, on collective farm fields. The guests of honor of the events were war veterans, veterans of the teaching work of the school.
For more than half a century of the existence of the museum, many events have become traditional, and the anniversary year was no exception: it began with a “museum lesson” for first-graders; on the day of the 95th anniversary of the birth of the Hero of the Soviet Union Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya, a memorial rally was held at the Novodevichy cemetery; The parade of classes dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the school, in which 412 students from grades 4 to 11 took part, for the first time was hosted by Colonel Zavgorodniy V.V.

Students of the 5th grade overcame serious trials, in which team spirit and endurance, attention and mutual assistance, knowledge of the history of school No. 201 and the life path of hero students, the history of the Moscow battle and the Kosmodemyansky family helped to win.
On March 8, volunteers from the school museum visited a classmate of Zoya and Shura Kosmodemyansky. Antonova (Andreeva) Ekaterina Ivanovna worked for more than 38 years in her native school No. 201, where she was awarded the Honorary title "Excellence in Public Education of the RSFSR" and received awards - medals "Veteran of Labor", "In memory of the 850th anniversary of Moscow". With great love, Ekaterina Ivanovna told about the people she met on her life path.

Museum volunteers come to the Golovinsky cemetery to bow to the grave of Pavel Andreyevich Grazhdaninov, a student of school No. 201, a pilot, a participant in the Great Patriotic War, a Hero of the Soviet Union.
During the traditional reading competition “Feat is immortal”, this year 89 pupils and students of our educational complex took part in it, students of the 201st, together with the Russian Military Historical Society, launched the All-Russian action “Zoya Hero”. 75 years ago, by the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR of February 16, 1942, for the courage and heroism shown in the fight against the German fascists, Kosmodemyanskaya Zoya Anatolyevna was awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union (posthumously). Partizanka Z.A. Kosmodemyanskaya became the first woman to be awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union during the Great Patriotic War. The event was attended by students from grades 1 to 11. The guys took pictures with the poster #ZoyaHero, posted photos with the hashtag #ZoyaHero on their pages in social networks. Schools of the city of Moscow and the country supported us!

The attitude of students to work in the school museum was summarized in her study by a 10th grade student Alesya A.: “Our new, young generation is aware of the truly great significance of the Victory. I involuntarily feel proud that I belong to a generation that is able to appreciate and respect your hard military work and pass on this knowledge to all the people around me, as well as describe all the emotions that I heard from you. I promise that we will remember your immortal feat and bow before your incredible valor, courage and honor, doing everything in our power to preserve this world, obtained by you at such a high price.
Generations of teachers and students replace each other, life itself around us is changing. But all this time, the main core in the work of the school and the “Museum of the History of the School and the Kosmodemyansky Family”, one of the most visited school museums in the city of Moscow, has been and remains the careful preservation and continuation of the traditions of perpetuating the memory of our heroes.

Not far from Ruza, just 30 km away, is the world-famous village of Petrishchevo. Here, more than half a century ago, in a difficult time for our country, a young Muscovite Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya stepped into immortality. …

The partisan detachment, in whose ranks Zoya was, was tasked with orienting our army by fires to the location of large parts of the Nazis. The detachment commander Krainev and Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya entered Petrishchevo. Krainev set fire to the house where the German soldiers were stationed, and Zoya was supposed to set fire to the stable ... Zoya did not return from the mission ...

For the first time, the country learned about the brave partisan from P. Lidov's essay "Tanya", published in Pravda on January 27, 1942. A photograph was published nearby: a mutilated female body with a rope around its neck. “In the early days of December 1941, in Petrishchevo, near the town of Vereya,” wrote P. Lidov, “the Germans executed an eighteen-year-old Muscovite Komsomol member who called herself Tatiana ... She died in enemy captivity on a fascist rack, without a single sound betraying her suffering, without betraying her comrades. She was martyred like a heroine, like a daughter of a great nation that no one can ever break!"

In the Ruzsky district, the memory of the feat of a brave partisan is kept by: Monument "Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya" installed in 1956 on the 86th km. Minsk highway. Sculptors of the monument Ikonnikov and Fedorov, architect Kaminsky.

Memorial Museum of Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya (1956). The exposition includes photographs, books, documents, personal belongings of a brave Komsomol member. Gifts from people from all continents of the Earth are also collected here: Vietnam and Cuba, Angola and Ethiopia, youth organizations in Bulgaria and the GDR, France and Italy.

The branch of the museum is the house of P.Ya.Kulik. The gray granite stele recalls that Zoya spent the last night before her execution in this hut.

Monument "Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya" in Ruza (2013), opened on the eve of the anniversary date when Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya would have turned 90 years old. This monument was donated to Ruzhans by the Russian Historical Society. A 4-meter bronze monument to Zurab Tsereteli is installed in front of the regional House of Culture.

For many decades, the name of Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya has become a symbol of heroism, courage, and patriotism of Soviet youth. However, in the early 1990s. materials appeared in the press that called into question the feat of the young heroine and cast a shadow on her personality. These publications reflected some facts of the biography of Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya, which were hushed up in Soviet times, but were reflected, as in a crooked mirror, in a monstrously distorted form. Our countrymen A.F. Sivtsov and A.A. Bobrov could not remain indifferent to these cynical "research".

A. Sivtsov is a journalist, truthful and uncompromising, a historian and a passionate local historian, a native of the village of Petrishchevo. He saw the execution of Zoya with his own eyes and, deeply indignant at the shameless juggling of facts, worked until the last days to clarify the details and facts of this tragedy. In 2012, at a meeting of local historians "Ruzsky Krai", he told new information about ".

The poet, publicist, TV journalist Alexander Bobrov, well known for the author's programs "Russian Strings", "Meetings near Moscow", "Leafing through the Chronicle of Times", "Living Water of Muscovy", also published an article in the Russian House magazine "".
