Sidortsov Vladimir Ignatievich was born on September 18, 1926. In the village of Ust-Bystryanskaya, Konstantinovsky district, Rostov region. Nationality Russian. Vladimir Ignatievich worked at the department of sheep breeding (now the department of private animal husbandry, selection and breeding of animals) from 2005 to 2013 as a professor
Called to the front by the Shakhty City Military Commissariat on July 23, 1944. As part of the marching battery, he arrived at the 504th MMCP in the winter of 1944, which was located at that time in the Leningrad Region. At the beginning of 1945, the regiment was transferred to the active army on the territory of Poland, where Private Vladimir Sidortsov received his baptism of fire. Further, the military path passed through Germany and Czechoslovakia. The name of the settlements and geographical objects through which he passed in the winter of 1944 and in the spring of 1945: Przyna, Krakow, the Oder River, Moravska Ostrava, Prague.
After the end of hostilities: Chernivtsi, Gaisin, Vinnitsa region. He was demobilized from the military unit and left for the city of Gaysin on 25.06. 1946 by decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR. After 20 - 25 days arrived in the city of Shakhty, Rostov region - through Vinnitsa, Odessa, and Kharkov.
We can assume that Vladimir Ignatievich was lucky to survive, having gone through such a harsh military path, but he was still shell-shocked. He spoke about this episode at a meeting with students in 2015 on the eve of Victory Day. I remember his phrase: "A soldier among the many flying shells hears his own." In this regard, he told the following episode. It was in Poland. The regiment will be located on the territory of some lordly estate. The enemy knew about this and periodically fired at the building with long-range guns, so it was dangerous to stay there. In order not to risk it, he made himself something similar to a dugout outside the yard, covered it with straw, covered it with a door. In front of the entrance he laid a German bag - to wipe his feet. As soon as he finished work, he heard the shot of a long-range cannon and realized that it was his projectile. I just managed to dive into my dugout trench and then - emptiness. When I woke up, I saw that the shell had hit exactly the bag that he had laid down. Only threads remained from the bag, and our hero escaped with a shell shock. It turns out that "his" projectile, fortunately, did not fly some half a meter...
Such a warm, interesting, rich conversation with a veteran turned out. At the end of the meeting, the students treated everyone to the soldier's buckwheat porridge with stew.
