The cadet regiment took its first battle on October 12, 1941 in the Volokolamsk direction near Moscow. For the courage and courage shown in the battles for the capital, 59 cadets and 30 officers were awarded orders and medals. In memory of those battles, a memorial plaque was unveiled on the main building of the school.

In June 1958, the school was transformed into the Moscow Red Banner Higher Combined Arms Command School named after the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR with a training period of four years. Graduates of the school began to receive diplomas of higher education.

For services in training qualified military personnel, on May 7, 1965, the school was awarded the Order of Lenin, and on February 21, 1978, on the eve of the 60th anniversary of the year, the school was awarded the Order of the October Revolution.

Since 1966, the school has been training officers in the civilian specialty “Engineer for the operation of wheeled and tracked vehicles” with a training period of 4 years.

“The training company of Kremlin cadets went to the front...
A strained howl, low and crowded above the column every now and then
"Junkers" appeared. Then the company agreed
to the land stripped by November, and everyone fell face down, but everyone
someone certainly saw that death flew past,
and was informed about this every time in a boyish way
loud and almost joyful"

Konstantin Vorobyov, the author of the story “Killed near Moscow,” an excerpt from which is given in the epigraph, was a cadet and participant in the tragic and at the same time heroic events of the autumn of 1941 near Moscow. Several films have been made based on this work: “Exam for Immortality”, “This is Us, Lord!” and "Burnt by the Sun 2: Imminence." Vorobyov's work describes tragedy of the tenth company of the cadet regiment, but there is no confirmation of his story in the available documents. If the book company commander shot himself, then his real prototype, senior lieutenant Vladimir Mikhailovich Pishchenko, not only survived the battles near Moscow, but also ended the War in Koenigsberg as the commander of the 46th Guards Regiment with the rank of guard lieutenant colonel. He was wounded twice and decorated several times. The Order of the Red Star, which he received for fighting near Moscow, became his first military award.

The reality of that harsh time was much more dramatic than any author’s fiction.. After the disaster at Vyazma and Bryansk, the huge holes that formed in the defense of Moscow were patched by everyone who could shoot. Both cadets of military schools and Muscovite volunteers in the militia divisions were thrown into battle. Small in number and poorly armed, they had to hold off an armada of Nazi tanks that had just crushed hundreds of thousands of soldiers and officers of the regular Red Army who were surrounded. Having destroyed the main part in less than 2 weeks Soviet troops, the Wehrmacht generals had no doubts about quick victory above these temporary formations, only slightly enhanced by fresh military units. The main task at that time was to gain time. It was vitally necessary to bring in fresh units from distant regions of the USSR.

October 6, 1941 newly formed Regiment of the Moscow Command School named after. The Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR was put on alert. Having completed an 85-kilometer forced march in 36 hours in pouring rain, the cadets occupied their assigned defense area along the bank of the Lama River in the Volokolamsk district of the Moscow region. A month later they had to return along the same route, losing their comrades in bloody battles with Hitler's troops. The cadets managed to delay the enemy on this road for two months, which later became fatal for the Wehrmacht armies.

At the same time, former classmates of the Kremlin, a large group of whom on the eve of the War, on June 14, 1941, were transferred to the Podolsk Infantry School, also went to the front as part of a combined regiment of Podolsk cadets to defend the capital in the Mozhaisk direction. The fate of these two cadet regiments is similar in only one thing: in unequal battles with the enemy, both schools will become famous, but the fate of the overwhelming majority of cadets who did not return from the battlefield will remain unknown.

From the Moscow Red Banner Infantry School named after. The Supreme Council of the RSFSR (MKPU) sent three battalions (almost 1,600 people) to the front, formed from senior cadets and training courses for platoon commanders. The regiment included 1,330 cadets in ten companies, about 130 Red Army soldiers, approximately the same number of officers and units assigned to it (author company, sappers, flamethrowers, orderlies, machine gunners and artillerymen). The regiment was commanded by the head of the school, colonel Semyon Ivanovich Mladentsev. 2 months later, when the defeat of the Germans near Moscow began, less than 200 people remained in the ranks, but they were still called a regiment.

Now it is no longer possible to completely restore the list of those who left and did not return. All documents relating to the cadet regiment, including its payroll, were destroyed due to the approaching front line and the evacuation of the educational institution to the deep rear. The relatives of those cadets who managed to appear somewhere in the surviving papers or orders of the regiment were informed about the fate of those wanted. The relatives of the others were told that they had no information.

Below is a document for one of the cadets - Vasily Pavlovich Ushakov, born in 1921. According to various sources, he died on October 29 or 30, 1941, but his name does not appear in the burials of those places. Most likely, he was buried anonymously in one of the mass graves. Unfortunately, there are a lot of similar examples. There was no time to bury comrades in battle, and after the battle the regiment often rolled back to a new position. Local women collected frozen corpses after the battle and buried them. The murdered person did not always have documents with him, and the women did not always look for them. Therefore, the names of half of those buried in mass graves remain unknown to this day.

The regiment's combat path can only be reconstructed using the dates of irretrievable losses in reports. At complete absence list of the regiment, the school has preserved alphabetical books for registering cadets. Those who did not make it to graduation were also listed in the books. This is how the fate of many cadets of the 1941 conscription, who took their final exam in the trenches of the front line of Moscow's defense, became clear.

The cadet regiment was supposed to defend a 30-kilometer section of the front in the Volokolamsk direction. The defensive line of the regiment was quite well equipped in engineering terms. Reinforced concrete pillboxes along the swampy bank of the Lama River were a serious obstacle for the advancing enemy. The Germans immediately understood this and did not think of wasting their human and material resources on frontal attacks. Therefore, they preferred artillery and mortar shelling and air bombing to direct attacks.

On the left flank of the cadet regiment was the 1077th Infantry Regiment of the 316th Infantry Division, which became famous for its tenacity and its commander, General Panfilov. The right flank of the regiment was covered by the cavalry corps of General Dovator, which already had solid combat experience, but was also pretty battered in previous battles.

The cadets received their baptism of fire on October 12, 1941 near the village of Lotoshino. On October 13, the Germans occupied Lotoshino without a fight and did not give it back to the Red Army until the winter general offensive. Although it was not difficult to fight her off. After occupying Lotoshino, the German units left for Kalinin, and about 25 Nazis remained in the village with a small amount equipment and weapons.

However, Dovator did not dare to drive the enemy out of the village without an order. And the cadets occupied a defense zone of more than 20 km along the front on a well-fortified bank of the Lama River. It would be wrong to weaken the defense by stretching it even further. Therefore, the defending side waited active actions from the enemy, and the Germans were in no hurry, looking for weak spots defense.

Therefore, there were most likely no large battles with serious losses in the Lotoshino area, as described by Vorobyov in the story “Killed near Moscow.”

The regiment's first losses were dated October 16, 1941. During the period from October 16 to October 28 inclusive, the regiment lost 25 cadets. Relatively small regiments spent 2 weeks on the front line indicate a well-organized defense. Among those cadets who fell on the battlefield then was Nikolai Mikhailovich Klimchenkov. He died on October 28, 1941, and was buried in a mass grave in the village of Yaropolets, Volokolamsk district, Moscow region. He was 18 years old. His last letter home:

On the same day, the city of Volokolamsk was surrendered to the enemy.

It is not entirely clear from the order whether the Kharlanikha-Popovkino line is meant, but, one way or another, the regiment did not begin to retreat, and for two days, October 28 and 29, defended the villages of Borodino and Alferyevo, where at that time the 1077th regiment of the 316th division held the defense.

But this is already the rear of the left flank of the cadet regiment. An attempt to recapture Kalistovo with the forces of the 1077th Infantry Regiment, 53rd Cavalry Division and 4th Tank Brigade was unsuccessful. The cadet regiment no longer had a left neighbor. He went out. There was a threat of further enemy penetration into the rear of the regiment. And the enemy was not slow to take advantage of the opportunity.

In the bloody battle to escape the encirclement, the regiment lost 67 cadets. If the order to withdraw the regiment to the second line of defense had been communicated on time, these casualties could have been avoided. As a result, by November 1, the cadet regiment broke through to the Kharlanikha-Popovkino line, replacing the 1st battalion of the 1073rd rifle regiment of the Panfilov division in this sector.

The direction of defense and fire according to the scheme drawn up by the commander of the 1st Infantry Battalion of the 1073rd Infantry Regiment of the 316th Infantry Division indicates that the enemy, as of October 31, had already bypassed our units from the north. And indeed, on the general map of military operations it is clear that the cadets do not have a neighbor on the right. In engineering terms, their line of defense, which now ran through Popovkino, was not equipped at all. The cadets could only rely on themselves.

The first combat operation on the occupied line was a night battle on November 4. The commander of the cadet regiment, Colonel Mladentsev, decided to launch a night attack on the village of Sofrino, one and a half kilometers west of Popovkino, where there were about two enemy battalions.

Unfortunately, the battle itself and its results are not mentioned in any of the documents. It is only known that 16 cadets were awarded for this night battle. The regiment's losses were small: four killed or missing and the same number wounded. Among those killed in that battle were cadets Blagushin and Gromov. They are not listed in the alphabetical record books of the school, but their death is briefly mentioned in the award sheet for cadet Glybin. However, the award sheet for Glybin was not enough to confirm their death, their fate remains officially unknown.

Probably, with this night sortie, Colonel Mladentsev wanted to punish the Nazis for the death of the cadets on October 29-31. But whether this was actually the case is unknown. One can only guess. Perhaps it was this battle that cadet V.V. Pryndikov wrote about in his last letter home.

The regiment suffered its next losses on November 10 near the village of Botovo: seven cadets died and went missing. And on November 12, the cadets, in fact, became officers: by order No. 0148 of November 12, 1941 senior students were awarded the rank of lieutenant.

On November 17, the 58th Tank, 17th and 44th Cavalry Divisions were ordered to attack the enemy in the Lotoshino area. The tankers and cavalrymen were supported by a reinforced battalion of the cadet regiment. All attacking units suffered heavy losses. The surviving remnants of the battalion of cadets retreated to the positions of their regiment on the second line of defense in the area of ​​​​the village of Utishevo. Due to lack of timethe minefields removed by sappers to allow their units to pass through could not be completely restored, and therefore on November 19, 1941, the enemy attacked the cadets with all their might already on the second line of defense. The cadets were unable to withstand such an onslaught, when up to a battalion of infantry, supported by tanks and artillery, advanced on the platoon. During the three days of fighting from November 17 to November 19, the regiment lost a total of more than 225 people killed and missing, not counting the wounded. There was no one on the right flank to cover them, and the left neighbor moved away. The order to retreat to the Kremlin came too late. The regiment was again surrounded. After the battle, about 400 soldiers remained in the ranks on the second line of defense.

The regiment's withdrawal from the second line of defense was covered by an unknown machine gunner, who took up a position on the outskirts of the village of Remyagino. Of the entire fleeting battle at this line, local residents remembered precisely this machine gunner, who desperately fought off the advancing enemy.

It was not easy to bypass the defenses, given the minefields. The area was clearly visible. Having completed his task and having the opportunity to retreat unnoticed by the enemy, the fighter remained until the last. Whether it was a cadet or one of the soldiers assigned to the regiment will remain a mystery. The end of this story varies among local residents. The owner of the house, in whose garden the soldier set up his machine-gun point, says that he ran out of cartridges and his wounded man was captured by the Nazis. He was shot right there near the house near the linden tree. According to another version, the Germans bypassed the machine gunner and threw grenades at him. Judging by the number of spent cartridges from German weapons in the field in front of the village, the Nazis fought with the brave machine gunner for quite a long time. The death of the hero was not in doubt among the local residents, who then collected and buried the dead cadets. Near the place where the brave unknown machine gunner defended the retreating Kremlin soldiers, a mass grave was built in a crater from the explosion of a large-caliber shell. In the 60s, this grave was moved to Botovo. The acts of reburial and the number of remains have not been preserved. Now only a small pond reminds of the site of the former mass grave. The owners, behind whose garden this sad place is located, did not dare to plant anything here and take water from this pond for irrigation.

But not all the fallen were buried in the relocated grave. There was another grave, between the three villages of Buygorod, Glazachevo and Remyagino. It became known only in the 70s. She remained in her original place.

The plaque installed does not indicate even half of those who are buried here. The rest are listed as unnamed. Where the obelisk stands, cadets of the MKPU are buried, and a little further away lie the cadets of the Ural military schools of the 47th brigade, who liberated these places a month later.

The regiment of Kremlin cadets took their last battle not far from the place from which he left on his last forced march, near the village of Kamenka, which is 20 km from Solnechnogorsk. It was December 1, 1941. The remnants of the regiment broke through to their own people along with units of the 16th Army.

On December 6, 1941, the regiment was disbanded. During the two months of the regiment's existence, the cadets were surrounded three times. Not once did they retreat without an order, even when the order was late. To make the offensive possible, hundreds of Kremlin men gave their lives. 83 cadets and officers of the regiment were awarded orders and medals for the battles near Moscow, only two of which were presented for the award posthumously.

388 people were buried in a mass grave on the regiment’s second line of defense in the village of Botovo. The names of only 139 of them are known.

Of the 800 Kremlin members killed in this moment It was partially possible to establish the fate and last place of battle of 509 cadets. Unfortunately, it is not possible to establish the place of death of the commanding personnel based on known documents, and there is also no data on the losses of military personnel assigned to the regiment.

They will no longer receive medals “For the Defense of Moscow”, although they deserve it like no one else. But it is within our power to restore the names of those who have been lying nameless in mass graves for many years, and to carve their officer ranks on the monuments to Kremlin cadets. Let them remain officers, at least after death.
