Heroes of the Soviet Union. People from Voronezh. Book of glory and memory

The book by Mikhail Fyodorov, "Heroes of the SVR. Voronezh Residents," opens a series of books dedicated to the heroes of the SVR from various regions of Russia. It tells the stories of people who stood up to defend the Russian world and whose destinies are connected to the Voronezh region: some were born here, some grew up, some studied, some worked, some served. Among the heroes of the book are those who laid down their lives in the fight against Nazism, and those who continue to fight against it. The book narrates about the Heroes of Russia, Senior Lieutenant Alexander Krynin and Major Alexey Kalmykov, who gave their lives, and about Senior Lieutenant Petr Kashtanov who continues his service. It also mentions Major Andrey Bakulin and Dmitry Vostrikov, Senior Lieutenants Dmitry Zuev and Yevgeniya Martishina, who were awarded the Order of Courage, and those who are still waiting for their reward. The book features former cadets, drivers, builders, teachers who became pilots and tankers, motorized riflemen and artillerymen, marines and medical workers. Their lives intersected with different corners of the Voronezh region, but they are united by the fact that all of them unhesitatingly stood up to defend the residents of Donbass and Novorossiya from the Nazis. The book is intended for a wide range of readers, especially for those who care about the fate of the Motherland and who want to dedicate their lives to its defense.
