FEBRUARY 8 - REMEMBRANCE DAY OF THE YOUNG ANTI-FASCIST HERO

08/02/2024 13:02
 

Young war heroes, young partisans are those who were not afraid to risk their lives for the freedom and independence of their Motherland. They were young, but they had already consciously chosen the path of struggle against the enemy who threatened their native land.

These young heroes did not have much experience or military skills, but they were strong-willed and determined. They were ready to face any difficulties and overcome any obstacles in order to protect their land.

On the night of April 24, 1944, near the village of Mikhnovichi, Nikolai Goishik and his comrade Alexey Savoshchik were supposed to destroy a German train going east on the Moscow-Brest railway, which was heavily guarded. When his eighth echelon was blown up, Nikolai Goishik died. As a result of the explosion, a locomotive and 16 carriages with enemy equipment were destroyed, about 200 German soldiers and officers were killed and wounded. At the cost of the life of Nikolai Goishik, the railway was put out of action for 17 hours.
