Baramzina, Tatiana Nikolaevna
Have you ever seen the memorial plate made of grey marble at the building of PSPU? The inscription runs ‘Baramzina T.N. a hero of the Soviet Union who was fallen lit by the death of the courageous in July in 1944’. Baramzina Tatiana Nikolaevna was born in the city of Glazov, in the family of a worker.
Tatiana Baramzina graduated from the Glazov State Pedagogical Institute.In 1943 she joined the ranks of the Red Army and was sent to the Central Women’s Sniper Training School outside Moscow. Upon graduation in April 1944, she was sent to the 3rd Belorussian Front, where she was an excellent sniper. Within her first three months, she had killed at least 16 enemy soldiers, while serving in the 3rd Battalion of the 252nd Rifle Regiment (70th Rifle Division, 33rd Army). On July 5, 1944 Baramzina's battalion parachuted behind enemy lines as part of a larger attempt to seize the crossroads near the village of Pekalin in Smalyavichy, hoping to block the retreat of German forces. An engagement broke out before they reached the crossroads, and the battalion took heavy casualties—after killing 20 German soldiers, Baramzina was re-assigned to care for the wounded personnel, due to her medical training. The trench that was being used to hold the Soviet wounded was re-taken by German forces, and after being wounded by artillery fire, she was captured and subjected to torture in an attempt to have her divulge information. After her eyes had been gouged out, Baramzina was subsequently shot point-blank with an anti-tank rifle.The status of a Hero of of Soviet Union was confermented on the 25th of March in 1945 posthumously. She also posthumously had been awarded with Order of Leninfor her special deserts to the Soviet Union. Being twenty five years old Baramzina died, she was buried in Minsk region in Kalita village. Several streets in Minsk, Glazov and Izhevsk were re-named in her honour. It should be mentioned that, some monuments are erected either at that place where she died or at her native town.
