Excerpt characterizing Bakirov, Mikhail Maksimovich
The uncle rode frowning.- Why should I meddle, because yours are pure marching! - in the village they pay for the dog, your thousands. You try on yours, and I’ll take a look!
- Scold! On, on,” he shouted. - Swearing! - he added, involuntarily using this diminutive to express his tenderness and hope placed in this red dog. Natasha saw and felt the excitement hidden by these two old men and her brother and was worried herself.
The hunter stood on the half-hill with a raised arapnik, the gentlemen approached him at a step; the hounds, walking on the very horizon, turned away from the hare; the hunters, not the gentlemen, also drove away. Everything moved slowly and sedately.
-Where is your head lying? - Nikolai asked, approaching a hundred paces towards the suspicious hunter. But before the hunter had time to answer, the hare, sensing the frost by tomorrow morning, could not stand still and jumped up. A pack of hounds on bows, with a roar, rushed downhill after the hare; from all sides the greyhounds, who were not in the pack, rushed at the hounds and the hare. All these slowly moving hunters are screaming: stop! knocking down the dogs, the greyhounds shout: atu! guiding the dogs, they galloped across the field. Calm Ilagin, Nikolai, Natasha and uncle flew, not knowing how or where, seeing only dogs and a hare, and only fearing to lose sight of the course of the persecution even for a moment. The hare was seasoned and playful. Jumping up, he did not immediately gallop, but moved his ears, listening to the screaming and stomping that suddenly came from all sides. He jumped ten times slowly, allowing the dogs to approach him, and finally, having chosen the direction and realizing the danger, he put his ears to the ground and rushed at full speed. He was lying on the stubble, but in front there were green fields through which it was muddy. The two dogs of the suspicious hunter, who were closest, were the first to look and lay after the hare; but they had not yet moved far towards him, when the Ilaginskaya red-spotted Erza flew out from behind them, approached a dog's distance, with terrible speed attacked, aiming at the hare's tail and thinking that she had grabbed it, rolled head over heels. The hare arched his back and kicked even harder. Wide-bottomed, black-spotted Milka came out from behind Erza and quickly began to sing to the hare.
- Honey! mother! – Nikolai’s triumphant cry was heard. It seemed that Milka would strike and catch the hare, but she caught up and rushed past. The Rusak moved away. The beautiful Erza swooped in again and hung over the hare’s very tail, as if trying to grab him by the back thigh so as not to make a mistake now.
- Erzanka! sister! – Ilagin’s voice was heard crying, not his own. Erza did not heed his pleas. At the very moment when one should have expected her to grab the hare, he whirled and rolled out to the line between the greenery and the stubble. Again Erza and Milka, like a pair of drawbars, aligned themselves and began to sing to the hare; at the turn it was easier for the hare; the dogs did not approach him so quickly.
- Scold! Swearing! Pure march! - shouted at that time another new voice, and Rugai, his uncle’s red, humpbacked dog, stretching out and arching his back, caught up with the first two dogs, moved out from behind them, kicked with terrible selflessness right over the hare, knocked him off the line onto the green, Another time he pushed even harder through the dirty greens, drowning up to his knees, and you could only see how he rolled head over heels, getting his back dirty in the mud, with the hare. The star of dogs surrounded him. A minute later everyone was standing near the crowded dogs. One happy uncle got down and walked away. Shaking the hare so that the blood would drain, he looked around anxiously, running his eyes, unable to find a position for his arms and legs, and spoke, not knowing with whom or what.

From an article by V.I. Kedrov “Heroes do not die” (“Testaments of Ilyich”, 1967, October 24)
Mikhail Bakirov was born in the village of Uslukino, Yaropolets volost. This region can be called fertile. Historians, artists, journalists will come here more than once and will certainly find here interesting topics for your works.
This is where the former assistant commandant of Berlin, Hero of the Soviet Union of the Guard, Lieutenant Colonel Dodogorsky and Major General of Aviation, Hero of the Soviet Union Nikolaev, spent their childhood. This is where the path to glory of our fellow countryman, Hero of the Soviet Union Chescharin, began. Right here. On the banks of the Lama, the wonderful Russian poet Ivan Pulkin was born and wrote poetry, who gave his life for his Motherland in the difficult year of forty-one.
And how many names can we name that lead us to the deep history of this region!
The war found Sergeant Bakirov on the Western Front. He had to experience the bitterness of his first defeats. Along with the baptism of fire, battle wounds also appeared. The path to victory for Mikhail Bakirov passed through battles on the Stalingrad and Voronezh fronts. There he became an officer. He commanded platoons and companies.
I had a chance to visit the native village of Mikhail Bakirov. They remember him there. He is also remembered in Savkino, Musin, Telegin. His friends remained there.
The last time Guard Captain Bakirov came home was in the fall of 1943. On outpatient leave after injury. At home he left a photograph that was taken in Volokolamsk. The chest of the guard captain is decorated with the Order of the Red Banner, the Red Star, the medal “For the Defense of Stalingrad” and the guards badge. You won’t see in the photo the green bandage on which the captain’s wounded hand hung. He took it off while the photo was being taken. At that time, there was no third award on his chest - the Order of Alexander Nevsky.
Mikhail did not have to stay at home for long. A telegram arrived from the commander of the 36th Guards Volnovakha Division. They called me back to the unit. This was at a time when the troops of the 4th Ukrainian Front were preparing for the assault on Crimea.
Bakirov became battalion commander. The troops were preparing. People learned to storm the enemy's fortifications, accurately throw grenades, quickly block bunkers and, together behind a barrage of fire, rise to attack.
To more clearly imagine the image of our fellow countryman, it is worth turning to the memoirs of Colonel Tsarev, who was with the division where Mikhail served in Stalingrad, on the Mius and Molochnaya rivers, in the Donbass and Crimea. Bakirov was “... dense, stocky, with a shock of light brown hair... The battalion commander’s voice was clear, clear, and had a pleasant timbre. An open, trusting gaze captivates your interlocutor. Bakirov is twenty-six years old. He was born in that significant year when the Red Army was created. Still quite a young man. But in front of us sat a fighter who was already wise and experienced. And I involuntarily thought: “No, it’s wrong to measure life path only for years..."
And then April 8, 1944 came. On this day, troops of the 3rd and 4th Ukrainian Fronts, a separate Primorsky Army, in cooperation with the Black Sea Fleet, began military operations against the 17th German Army located in Crimea.
April 8, 1944 is the last and brightest page in the life of our fellow countryman. The first rifle battalion of Captain Bakirov's guard, having broken through the heavily fortified enemy defenses on the Perekopsky Val, moved forward. On the right was the battalion of Senior Lieutenant Loshakov. An order was received to take Armyansk by storm. Fulfilling his duty to the Motherland, battalion commander Bakirov was the first to stand up and shout “For the Motherland!” led the soldiers into the attack.
Despite heavy mortar and rifle fire, the soldiers, inspired by the heroism of the battalion commander, burst into the first trenches of the enemy. The battalion commander accurately threw a grenade and destroyed seven Nazis. The battalion destroyed 3 bunkers, destroyed up to 180 Nazis, captured 7 machine guns, 4 mortars and one self-propelled gun.
The further the battalion advanced, the stronger the enemy resistance was, recalls Colonel Tsarev. - The path of the guardsmen was blocked by explosions of mines and shells with a solid wall. Two machine guns hit from the right. The soldiers lay down. “This cannot be allowed!” - flashed through the battalion commander’s mind. He was closest to the enemy machine guns and, without hesitation, rushed to the bunker. He threw a grenade and there was an explosion. The machine gun fell silent. But Bakirov did not have time to reach the second machine-gun point: a mine exploded very close behind. Over twenty fragments pierced his body. Mortally wounded, Bakirov shouted to his soldiers in a weakened voice:
Strike! Beat the Nazis even harder!
There is a monument to a mass grave in Crimea, at the gates of the Turkish Wall. On the obelisk, crowned with a five-pointed star, there is the inscription: “Eternal glory to the heroes who fell in the struggle for the freedom and independence of our Motherland - the Heroes of Perekop from the Military Council of the 2nd Guards Army.”
Among the names carved in gold is the name of our fellow countryman Mikhail Bakirov...
