Pavlov, Sergey Vasilievich. Pavlov, Sergei Vasilievich Pavlov, Sergei Vasilievich

Born on October 4, 1896 in the village of Ekaterininskaya, First Don District, Region of the Don Army, in the family of military foreman Vasily Mikhailovich Pavlov.

He graduated from the Don Emperor Alexander III Cadet Corps and the Nikolaev Cavalry School (graduated in 1915).

1915-1920

He began his service in 1915 as a cornet in the 47th Don Cossack Regiment. At the end of 1916, Pavlov was sent to the Vinnitsa military pilot school and enlisted in the Imperial Russian Air Force.

During the First World War he fought on the Southwestern Front. For courage in battles, he was awarded the St. George Cross.

After the October Revolution, Pavlov returned to the Don, where he joined a detachment of Don anti-Bolshevik partisans - but was soon seriously wounded and sent for treatment to the village of Konstantinovskaya.

In the spring of 1918, during the general uprising of the Don Cossacks, Pavlov found himself in their ranks and participated in the liberation of Novocherkassk by the Marching Ataman of the Don Army P. Kh. Popov.

Then Pavlov served in armored units (with the rank of captain he commanded the Cossack armored train) and in the aviation of the Don Army (Don Air Forces). By 1920 (probably in Crimea) he had risen to the rank of colonel.

1920-1942

Unable to evacuate from Novorossiysk in March 1920, he switched to an illegal position, using false documents to work either as an accountant or as a draftsman. In 1936 he was arrested, but not identified - and released.

By 1939, he completed a correspondence course at a technical school and received a certificate as a design engineer, soon after which he got a job as an engineer at the Lokomotiv locomotive plant in Novocherkassk, where he organized the underground anti-Bolshevik organization “Headquarters for the Liberation of the Don.”

1942-1944

In the summer of 1942, after the Germans occupied Novocherkassk, Pavlov, together with other Cossack officers, offered the German command the help of the Don Cossacks in the fight against Soviet troops, having received permission from the Germans to form the Don Military Headquarters and combat Cossack units. The liaison officer assigned to Pavlov, Captain Muller, provided him with access to stocks of weapons, uniforms and provisions captured from the Red Army.

By the end of 1942, Pavlov formed the Plastun hundred and the 1st Don Cossack Regiment.

After the successful offensive of the Red Army in February 1943, Pavlov led the retreat of the Cossacks as the Marching Ataman of the Don Army.

In July 1943, in Kirovograd, from the remnants of forces numbering up to 3,000 Cossacks, Pavlov formed two new regiments - the 8th and 9th, which probably had common numbering with the regiments of the 1st division. By the end of the autumn of 1943, Pavlov was already subordinate to 18,000 Cossacks (including civilians - women and children) who formed the so-called Cossack Stan, of which he became a marching chieftain).

In March 1944, Cossack Stan, due to the danger of Soviet encirclement, began moving west to Sandomierz, and then was transported by rail to Belarus to the anti-partisan front.

According to the official version, he was “mistakenly” taken by the Belarusian police for a partisan, as T. N. Domanov later said. According to another version, he was killed by his adjutant, centurion D.V. Bogachev, who was later exposed as a Soviet agent and shot on July 3, 1944.

Posthumously, the German command awarded Pavlov the rank of major general of the Wehrmacht. A telegram from P.N. Krasnov with the corresponding decree was presented to General Domanov during Pavlov’s funeral.

By the beginning of the war, Pavlov was working as an engineer at the Lokomotiv locomotive plant in Novocherkassk, where he created a secret anti-Soviet organization. After the occupation of Novocherkassk by the Germans, Pavlov, together with other Cossack commanders, received permission from them to create the Don military headquarters and Cossack combat units. Pavlov formed the Plastun hundred, which was later transformed into the 1st Don Cossack Regiment. Most of this regiment died in battles with the Red Army in February 1943. Having led the evacuation of Cossacks from the Don as a Don marching ataman, Pavlov settled with them in the spring of 1943 in Kherson, and then in Elisavetgrad, where he created two new Cossack regiments. By the fall, Pavlov had about 18 thousand Cossacks under his command.

Donets in Ukraine

On November 27, 1943, Pavlov was elected marching ataman of the Cossack camp, and in March 1944 he became part of the Main Directorate of the Cossack Troops. The Cossacks, led by Pavlov, after retreating to Podolia, were transported by rail to Belarus, where the German authorities provided them with 180 thousand hectares of land to settle in the area of ​​​​the cities of Novogrudok, Baranovichi and Slonim. The combat units were transformed into ten regiments of 1,200 people per regiment. Each regiment had 3 Plastun battalions and a mortar and anti-tank battery. The main task of the Cossack units was to fight the Red partisans.

Ataman Pavlov in Belarus

On June 17, 1944, Sergei Pavlov died in the forest near Novogrudok under unclear circumstances. According to one version, the ataman died in a battle with partisans, according to another, he was shot by Belarusian police or Germans who mistook him for a partisan, according to the third, he was killed by his adjutant, who was later exposed as a Soviet agent and shot. The ceremonial funeral service for the ataman was conducted by Bishop Afanasy in the Novogrudok Cathedral. In addition to a huge number of Cossacks and townspeople, representatives of the German authorities and local government were present at the funeral service and funeral. The German command posthumously awarded Pavlov the rank of major general of the Wehrmacht. His successor at the head of the Cossack camp was military foreman Timofey Domanov.

Notes

An excerpt characterizing Pavlov, Sergei Vasilievich

The colonel was a stocky, tall and sanguine German, obviously a servant and a patriot. He was offended by Shinshin's words.
“And then, we are a good sovereign,” he said, pronouncing e instead of e and ъ instead of ь. “Then that the emperor knows this. He said in his manifesto that he can look indifferently at the dangers threatening Russia, and that the safety of the empire, its dignity and the sanctity of alliances,” he said, for some reason especially emphasizing the word “unions”, as if this was the whole essence of the matter.
And with his characteristic infallible, official memory, he repeated the opening words of the manifesto... “and the desire, the sole and indispensable goal of the sovereign: to establish peace in Europe on solid foundations - they decided to send part of the army abroad and make new efforts to achieve this intention “.
“That’s why, we are a good sovereign,” he concluded, edifyingly drinking a glass of wine and looking back at the count for encouragement.
– Connaissez vous le proverbe: [You know the proverb:] “Erema, Erema, you should sit at home, sharpen your spindles,” said Shinshin, wincing and smiling. – Cela nous convient a merveille. [This comes in handy for us.] Why Suvorov - they chopped him up, a plate couture, [on his head,] and where are our Suvorovs now? Je vous demande un peu, [I ask you,] - he said, constantly jumping from Russian to French.
“We must fight until the last drop of blood,” said the colonel, hitting the table, “and die for our emperor, and then everything will be fine.” And to argue as much as possible (he especially drew out his voice on the word “possible”), as little as possible,” he finished, again turning to the count. “That’s how we judge the old hussars, that’s all.” How do you judge, young man and young hussar? - he added, turning to Nikolai, who, having heard that it was about war, left his interlocutor and looked with all his eyes and listened with all his ears to the colonel.
“I completely agree with you,” answered Nikolai, all flushed, spinning the plate and rearranging the glasses with such a decisive and desperate look, as if at the moment he was exposed to great danger, “I am convinced that the Russians must die or win,” he said. himself feeling the same way as others, after the word had already been said, that it was too enthusiastic and pompous for the present occasion and therefore awkward.
“C"est bien beau ce que vous venez de dire, [Wonderful! What you said is wonderful],” said Julie, who was sitting next to him, sighing. Sonya trembled all over and blushed to the ears, behind the ears and to the neck and shoulders, in While Nikolai was speaking, Pierre listened to the colonel’s speeches and nodded his head approvingly.
“That’s nice,” he said.
“A real hussar, young man,” shouted the colonel, hitting the table again.
-What are you making noise about there? – Marya Dmitrievna’s bass voice was suddenly heard across the table. - Why are you knocking on the table? - she turned to the hussar, - who are you getting excited about? right, you think that the French are in front of you?
“I’m telling the truth,” said the hussar, smiling.
“Everything about the war,” the count shouted across the table. - After all, my son is coming, Marya Dmitrievna, my son is coming.
- And I have four sons in the army, but I don’t bother. Everything is God’s will: you will die lying on the stove, and in battle God will have mercy,” Marya Dmitrievna’s thick voice sounded without any effort from the other end of the table.
- That's true.
And the conversation focused again - the ladies at their end of the table, the men at his.
“But you won’t ask,” said the little brother to Natasha, “but you won’t ask!”
“I’ll ask,” Natasha answered.
Her face suddenly flushed, expressing desperate and cheerful determination. She stood up, inviting Pierre, who was sitting opposite her, to listen, and turned to her mother:
- Mother! – her childish, chesty voice sounded across the table.
- What do you want? – the countess asked in fear, but, seeing from her daughter’s face that it was a prank, she sternly waved her hand, making a threatening and negative gesture with her head.
The conversation died down.
- Mother! what kind of cake will it be? – Natasha’s voice sounded even more decisively, without breaking down.
The Countess wanted to frown, but could not. Marya Dmitrievna shook her thick finger.
“Cossack,” she said threateningly.
Most of the guests looked at the elders, not knowing how to take this trick.
- Here I am! - said the countess.
- Mother! what kind of cake will there be? - Natasha shouted boldly and capriciously cheerfully, confident in advance that her prank would be well received.
Sonya and fat Petya were hiding from laughter.
“That’s why I asked,” Natasha whispered to her little brother and Pierre, whom she looked at again.
“Ice cream, but they won’t give it to you,” said Marya Dmitrievna.
Natasha saw that there was nothing to be afraid of, and therefore she was not afraid of Marya Dmitrievna.
- Marya Dmitrievna? what ice cream! I don't like cream.
- Carrot.
- No, which one? Marya Dmitrievna, which one? – she almost screamed. – I want to know!
Marya Dmitrievna and the Countess laughed, and all the guests followed them. Everyone laughed not at Marya Dmitrievna’s answer, but at the incomprehensible courage and dexterity of this girl, who knew how and dared to treat Marya Dmitrievna like that.
Natasha fell behind only when she was told that there would be pineapple. Champagne was served before the ice cream. The music started playing again, the count kissed the countess, and the guests stood up, congratulated the countess, and across the table they clinked glasses with the count, the children, and each other. Waiters ran in again, chairs rattled, and in the same order, but with redder faces, the guests returned to the drawing room and the count’s office.

The Boston tables were moved apart, the parties were drawn up, and the count's guests settled in two living rooms, a sofa room and a library.
The Count, fanning out his cards, could hardly resist the habit of taking an afternoon nap and laughed at everything. The youth, incited by the countess, gathered around the clavichord and harp. Julie was the first, at the request of everyone, to play a piece with variations on the harp and, together with other girls, began to ask Natasha and Nikolai, known for their musicality, to sing something. Natasha, who was addressed as a big girl, was apparently very proud of this, but at the same time she was timid.
- What are we going to sing? – she asked.
“The key,” answered Nikolai.
- Well, let's hurry up. Boris, come here,” Natasha said. - Where is Sonya?
She looked around and, seeing that her friend was not in the room, ran after her.
Running into Sonya’s room and not finding her friend there, Natasha ran into the nursery - and Sonya was not there. Natasha realized that Sonya was in the corridor on the chest. The chest in the corridor was the place of sorrow for the younger female generation of the Rostov house. Indeed, Sonya in her airy pink dress, crushing it, lay face down on her nanny’s dirty striped feather bed, on the chest and, covering her face with her fingers, cried bitterly, shaking her bare shoulders. Natasha's face, animated, having had a birthday all day, suddenly changed: her eyes stopped, then her wide neck shuddered, the corners of her lips drooped.
