Excerpt characterizing Fomin, Alexander Guryevich

- Forgive me for my indiscretion, Anna, but how could you forget such terrible pain? And is it even possible to forget this?..
– I haven’t forgotten, my dear. I simply understood and accepted it... Otherwise it would have been impossible to continue to exist,” the girl answered sadly shaking her head.
- How can you understand this?! And what do you understand about pain?.. – I didn’t give up. – Was this supposed to teach you something special?.. Sorry, but I never believed in such a “teaching”! In my opinion, only helpless “teachers” can use pain!
I was seething with indignation, unable to stop my racing thoughts!.. And no matter how hard I tried, I could not calm down.
Sincerely feeling sorry for the witch girl, at the same time I wildly wanted to know everything about her, which meant asking her a lot of questions about what could cause her pain. It was reminiscent of a crocodile, which, devouring its unfortunate victim, shed burning tears over it... But no matter how ashamed I was, I could not help myself... This was the first time in my short life when I almost I didn’t pay attention to the fact that I could hurt a person with my questions... I was very ashamed of this, but I also understood that for some reason it was very important for me to talk to her about all this, and I continued to ask, “closing on “all eyes”... But, to my great happiness and surprise, the witch girl, without being offended at all, calmly continued to answer my naive childish questions, without expressing the slightest displeasure.
– I understood the reason for what happened. And another thing is that this was also apparently my test... Having passed it, this amazing world in which my grandfather and I now live together was revealed to me. Yes and much more...
– Was it really necessary to endure this just to get here?! – Stella was horrified.
- I think yes. Although I can't say for sure. Everyone has their own path...” Anna said sadly. “But the main thing is that I still got through it, managing not to break down.” My soul remained pure and kind, not angry at the world or at the people who executed me. I understood why they destroyed us... those who were “different.” Whom they called Sorcerers and Witches. And sometimes also “demon children”... They were simply afraid of us... They were afraid that we were stronger than them, and also that we were incomprehensible to them. They hated us for what we could do. For our Gift. And also, they envied us too much... And very few people knew that many of our killers themselves secretly tried to learn everything that we could do, but nothing worked for them. The souls, apparently, were too black...
- How is it that you studied?! But didn’t they themselves curse you?.. Didn’t they burn you because they considered you creatures of the Devil? – I asked, completely taken aback.
“So it was,” Anna nodded. “Only at first our executioners brutally tortured us, trying to find out what was forbidden, only known to us... And then they burned us, tearing out the tongues of many, so that they would not accidentally divulge what had been done to them. Yes, you ask my mother, she went through a lot, more than everyone else, probably... That’s why she went far after death, by her own choice, which none of us could.
-Where is your mother now? – Stella asked.
- Oh, she lives somewhere in “alien” worlds, I will never be able to go there! – Anna whispered with strange pride in her voice. - But sometimes we call her, and she comes to us. She loves and remembers us... - and suddenly, smiling sunnyly, she added: - And she tells such miracles!!! How I would like to see all this!..
“Can’t she help you go there?” – Stella was surprised.
“I think not...” Anna was saddened. “She was much stronger than all of us on Earth, and her “test” was much more terrible than mine, which is why she probably deserved more. Well, she was much more talented, of course...
– But why was such a terrible test necessary? – I asked carefully. – Why was your Fate so Evil? You were not bad, you helped others who did not have such a Gift. Why did they do this to you?!
– In order for our soul to become stronger, I think... So that we can withstand a lot and not break. Although there were also many who broke... They cursed their Gift. And before they died, they renounced him...
- How is this possible?! Is it possible to renounce yourself?! – Stella immediately jumped indignantly.
– As much as possible, dear... Oh, as much as possible! – the amazing old man said quietly, who had previously only observed us, but did not interfere in the conversation.
“Grandfather confirmed it to you,” the girl smiled. – Not all of us are ready for such a test... And not all of us can endure such pain. But it’s not so much about the pain as it is about the strength of our human spirit... After all, after the pain there was still fear from what we had experienced, which, even after death, tenaciously sat in our memory and, like a worm, gnawed at the remaining crumbs of our courage. It was this fear, for the most part, that broke the people who went through all this horror. As soon as later, already in this (posthumous) world, they were only slightly intimidated, they immediately gave up, becoming obedient “dolls” in the hands of others. And these hands, naturally, were far from “white”... So later “black” magicians, “black” sorcerers and various others like them appeared on Earth, when their essences returned there again. Magicians “on strings,” as we called them... So, it was probably not for nothing that we passed such a test. Grandfather also went through all this... But he is very strong. Much stronger than me. He managed to “get away” without waiting for the end. Just like my mother did. Only I couldn't...

PREFACE

II. COMBAT AGAINST PARTISANS

A. FORCE MANAGEMENT

17. Combat operations against partisans are primarily a matter of leadership. The success of these efforts depends on the excellence of our leadership.

18. The rights and responsibilities of individual commanders in actions against partisans are determined by agreement between the High Command of the Armed Forces and the Reichsführer SS and the Chief of the German Police.

19. A responsible commander must be appointed to direct relatively broad actions against the partisans. His rights in relation to the units and formations allocated by the armed forces and the troops of the Reichsfuehrer-SS, and, if necessary, in relation to the civil authorities, must be determined in advance by agreement between the relevant commanders concerned.

20. The fight against partisans requires close cooperation between the military authorities, representatives of the Reichsfuehrer-SS and civilian authorities. Interaction should be established at the planning stage. When civil authorities carry out activities such as agricultural work, construction of roads, bridges, logging, resettlement, etc., it is necessary to take into account everything that is currently known about the location and actions of partisan detachments. At the same time, during combat operations against partisans, the interests of the civil administration must be taken into account, as far as possible.

21. In battles with partisans, demarcation lines should not be taken into account. If during a battle actions spread to an adjacent area, they should not be interrupted. Advance familiarization of units of neighboring sectors with plans for major events ensures their timely inclusion in combat operations.

22. The following tactics have so far been successfully used in battles with partisans:

a) Encircling the partisans and clearing the encircled area from them. This is the main method of action against partisans and at the same time the most effective way to eliminate the threat from them. Conducting combat operations in an encirclement requires large forces, but ensures decisive success.

b) Destruction by surprise attack followed by pursuit. In cases where there is not enough strength or time to carry out an encirclement, or the nature of the terrain does not allow this type of battle to be undertaken, the partisans should be attacked, defeated and pursued until they are completely destroyed.

c) Use of Jagdkomands against partisans. In order to prevent the creation of partisan detachments, as well as the disruption of their communications, it is best to use small but very combat-ready detachments, created and armed as Jagdkomandos.

d) Security measures against partisans. All troops, transport and economic facilities, as well as factories of military importance are subject to protection from partisan raids and, in addition, must themselves take measures to ensure their safety.

23. In combat operations against partisans, the initiative must always belong to us. Even if the commander has small forces, he should not show indecisiveness. If possible, countermeasures must be taken against every guerrilla action.

The methods of combat operations against partisans in each individual case depend on the number of available troops and the degree of activity of the partisans, as well as the general situation. In order to successfully apply exactly that method of combat that, in a given situation, will allow the greatest damage to be caused to the enemy, the commander must show courage, initiative, the ability to adapt to the situation and use the existing experience in fighting partisans. Delay and inactivity give the partisans time to establish themselves and increase their strength. Immediate measures should be taken against newly appearing units.

It is impossible to eliminate the threat from partisans by using only one method of action. Even those units headed by the most capable commanders and which conduct the most successful operations against the partisans will not achieve decisive success unless reliable measures are taken to protect the troops in the area cleared of partisans. And vice versa, even the most reliable measures to protect troops will not give the desired effect if military units do not clear sufficiently large areas of partisans during direct combat operations. In tactics, stereotyped actions should be avoided, since the partisans quickly adapt to them and take the necessary countermeasures, especially since they have special instructions in this regard from their headquarters, which constantly guide their actions.

24. The fight against partisans requires the commander, during the period of active hostilities, to timely determine the direction of the main attack or the main direction when taking measures to protect the troops. In a battle with partisans, the situation changes quickly and confronts the commander with the need to make new decisions. It is therefore necessary that the commander always have at his disposal sufficient reserves so that, if necessary, he can change the direction of the main attack. It is best to have small but highly mobile forces as reserves and sabotage detachments.

25. The vastness of the areas in which it is necessary to conduct combat operations against partisans deprives the commander of the opportunity to exert constant influence on the actions of his units and subunits. In this regard, the following measures are justified:

a) Early organization of good communications - mainly an extensive telephone network combined with reliable radio communications - which facilitates the rapid transmission of reports and instructions, especially over long distances.

b) The use by the commander of a light aircraft (the Fieseler helicopter) in order to be able to intervene in the leadership of the battle in decisive sectors.

c) The commander exercises direct control over units by moving with them from line to line and assigning immediate tasks to them. If the available information about the enemy is insufficient, and the area of ​​​​operation is quite extensive, the commander must take into account the possible loss of time. Familiarization of units with the general plan of action provides them with the necessary independence within the framework of the tasks assigned to them.

26. Achieving surprise in combat against partisans is an important tactical requirement.

As experience shows, the partisans had the opinion that they could rarely be attacked in bad weather or in off-road conditions. Therefore, they believe that our troops avoid penetrating deep into swamps and forest thickets. Any commander who takes action against partisans in bad weather and difficult terrain can usually expect to take the partisans by surprise.

One should especially be wary of the fact that the partisans may learn in advance about the measures being prepared against them. Therefore, a very narrow circle of staff officers should know about all preparatory activities. Talking on the phone should be avoided. Preservation of secrecy is ensured by the use of ciphers. Since the partisans attach great importance to intercepting our telephone conversations, trying to obtain advance information about actions being prepared against them, it is necessary to pay special attention to camouflaging nodes and communication lines, to ensure control over compliance with secrecy requirements in order to prevent the usual leakage of information. It is advisable that troops be informed about upcoming actions only immediately before they begin. During combat, troops should always remember that the enemy must be taken by surprise. Therefore, it is necessary to approach the concentration area only after dark, and take initial positions only upon the arrival of the main forces.

B. MILITARY UNITS

28. All German troops, including logistics, technical and security units, must always be ready to conduct combat operations against the partisans.

29. Combat operations against partisans should be considered as “actions under special conditions.” In the form of guerrillas, troops are faced with an enemy whose tactics differ in many respects from those of regular troops. His cunning, malice and cruelty must be contrasted with high vigilance, determination and severity. In the fight against partisans, these qualities mean more than much else. However, troops very often do not understand this. They tend to consider the fight against partisans too easy. Sometimes faced with insignificant, insufficiently armed partisan forces, they act carelessly and thus endanger themselves and other units... Carelessness should not be regarded as courage.

30. The troops must organize reconnaissance and observation well, especially the search for the location of the partisans... For this purpose, it is recommended to use bloodhounds.

It is necessary to neutralize mined areas and objects in a timely manner, remembering that mines are carefully camouflaged. For this purpose, sappers are assigned to reconnaissance units, advanced and, above all, assault detachments (see Article 39). In unfamiliar areas, take all necessary precautions. Deserters, prisoners of war, or suitable local residents (for example, foresters who know the roads well) can be used as guides.

31. When fighting partisans, it is necessary to have reliable security for troops, since the enemy can be expected from everywhere.

The unit on the march must organize a circular guard. The distance between units on the march should be small. Heavy weapons should be assigned to each unit following in the marching column.

If you are driving on an unexplored road, you can take the following precautions to detect mines:

a) send wooden rollers in front of the column;

b) drive cattle ahead of the column.

Troops must be reliably guarded while on vacation. The best means of defense is all-round defense. In populated areas, troops must also have all-round security. When quartering, it is not recommended to split the parts.

32. Advance in the forest. Troops must be able to fight and pursue partisans in forests, thickets and swampy areas. While advancing through a forest in which a large partisan detachment is expected to be present, the troops must protect themselves from attack:

conducting enhanced reconnaissance;

readiness to open powerful fire;

using a special movement order.

The smallest unit that can operate independently in these conditions is a company.

As a rule, troops should advance on a broad front (a company, for example, with two platoons in the first line) in order to force the partisans into battle and to use the maximum number of people and weapons during the battle and subsequent pursuit. In addition, this order of attack is the best defense against ambushes, often set up by partisans.

Another form of offensive deployment is deep formation of battle formations. In conditions where the location of partisan detachments is unknown, this order guarantees freedom of action for the commander and facilitates advancement, but it also has its inconveniences - the vulnerability of the flanks, the possibility of running into ambushes. Since the troops in this case will move along roads and easily surmountable terrain, it will be difficult for them to force a battle on the partisans, and the latter will be able to escape.

Therefore, troops accustomed to operating in forests usually prefer dismembered battle formations.

If the forest needs to be combed only for the purpose of capturing individual partisans, the units should be deployed in a chain. In this case, it is desirable that the soldiers see each other.

...Maintain contact with neighbors on both sides, transmitting orders from left to right. In order to prevent a surprise attack by the enemy, allocate up to one-eighth of the personnel to reserve. Consequently, the commander directly has at his disposal the reserves, as well as part of the heavy weapons unit.

33. In battle, our troops must have fire superiority. The assault squad should be led by the commander of the heavy weapons unit, who is obliged to suppress as many of the partisans' firepower as possible.

The vanguard must have heavy weapons, especially ones that can be used immediately, to quickly provide fire superiority in the event of an unexpected encounter with the enemy.

34. The fight against partisans requires training of personnel for operations at night... During combat operations, even in bad weather on difficult terrain, troops must spend the night where the combat mission requires it. The often observed desire to spend the night in populated areas should be suppressed by all means, since in such cases the territory is unnecessarily ceded to the enemy.

35. Troops must also be able to fight partisans defending in previously prepared positions. In this case, it is especially important to occupy enemy positions on the move through a surprise attack by mobile units, even if these units do not have heavy weapons.

36. Troops must learn to advance silently and skillfully camouflage themselves if they want to take the partisans by surprise.

37. The armament of troops must correspond to the conditions for conducting combat operations against partisans.

Excerpt characterizing Fomin, Alexander Guryevich

- Which lady? Who are you? – Anatole asked in a breathless whisper.
- Please, I've been ordered to bring him.
- Kuragin! back,” Dolokhov shouted. - Treason! Back!
Dolokhov, at the gate where he stopped, was struggling with the janitor, who was trying to lock the gate behind Anatoly as he entered. Dolokhov, with his last effort, pushed the janitor away and, grabbing the hand of Anatoly as he ran out, pulled him out the gate and ran with him back to the troika.

Marya Dmitrievna, finding a tearful Sonya in the corridor, forced her to confess everything. Having intercepted Natasha’s note and read it, Marya Dmitrievna, with the note in her hand, went up to Natasha.
“Bastard, shameless,” she told her. - I don’t want to hear anything! - Pushing away Natasha, who was looking at her with surprised but dry eyes, she locked it and ordered the janitor to let through the gate those people who would come that evening, but not to let them out, and ordered the footman to bring these people to her, sat down in the living room, waiting kidnappers.
When Gavrilo came to report to Marya Dmitrievna that the people who had come had run away, she stood up with a frown and folded her hands back, walked around the rooms for a long time, thinking about what she should do. At 12 o'clock at night, feeling the key in her pocket, she went to Natasha's room. Sonya sat in the corridor, sobbing.
- Marya Dmitrievna, let me see her for God’s sake! - she said. Marya Dmitrievna, without answering her, unlocked the door and entered. “Disgusting, nasty... In my house... Vile little girl... I just feel sorry for my father!” thought Marya Dmitrievna, trying to quench her anger. “No matter how difficult it is, I’ll tell everyone to be silent and hide it from the count.” Marya Dmitrievna entered the room with decisive steps. Natasha lay on the sofa, covering her head with her hands, and did not move. She lay in the same position in which Marya Dmitrievna had left her.
- Good, very good! - said Marya Dmitrievna. - In my house, lovers can make dates! There's no point in pretending. You listen when I talk to you. - Marya Dmitrievna touched her hand. - You listen when I talk. You have disgraced yourself like a very lowly girl. I would do that to you, but I feel sorry for your father. I'll hide it. – Natasha did not change her position, but only her whole body began to jump up from silent, convulsive sobs that choked her. Marya Dmitrievna looked back at Sonya and sat down on the sofa next to Natasha.
- He’s lucky that he left me; “Yes, I will find him,” she said in her rough voice; – Do you hear what I’m saying? “She put her big hand under Natasha’s face and turned her towards her. Both Marya Dmitrievna and Sonya were surprised to see Natasha’s face. Her eyes were shiny and dry, her lips were pursed, her cheeks were drooping.
“Leave... those... that I... I... will die...” she said, with an angry effort she tore herself away from Marya Dmitrievna and lay down in her previous position.
“Natalya!...” said Marya Dmitrievna. - I wish you well. You lie down, just lie there, I won’t touch you, and listen... I won’t tell you how guilty you are. You know it yourself. Well, now your father is coming tomorrow, what will I tell him? A?
Again Natasha's body shook with sobs.
- Well, he will find out, well, your brother, groom!
“I don’t have a fiance, I refused,” Natasha shouted.
“It doesn’t matter,” continued Marya Dmitrievna. - Well, they’ll find out, so why leave it like that? After all, he, your father, I know him, after all, if he challenges him to a duel, will it be good? A?
- Oh, leave me alone, why did you interfere with everything! For what? For what? who asked you? - Natasha shouted, sitting up on the sofa and looking angrily at Marya Dmitrievna.
- What did you want? - Marya Dmitrievna cried out again, getting excited, - why did they lock you up? Well, who stopped him from going to the house? Why should they take you away like some kind of gypsy?... Well, if he had taken you away, what do you think, he wouldn’t have been found? Your father, or brother, or fiancé. And he’s a scoundrel, a scoundrel, that’s what!
“He’s better than all of you,” Natasha cried, standing up. - If you hadn’t interfered... Oh, my God, what is this, what is this! Sonya, why? Go away!... - And she began to sob with such despair with which people only mourn such grief, which they feel themselves to be the cause of. Marya Dmitrievna began to speak again; but Natasha shouted: “Go away, go away, you all hate me, you despise me.” – And again she threw herself on the sofa.
Marya Dmitrievna continued for some time to admonish Natasha and convince her that all this must be hidden from the count, that no one would find out anything if only Natasha took it upon herself to forget everything and not show to anyone that anything had happened. Natasha didn't answer. She didn’t cry anymore, but she began to feel chills and trembling. Marya Dmitrievna put a pillow on her, covered her with two blankets and brought her some lime blossom herself, but Natasha did not respond to her. “Well, let him sleep,” said Marya Dmitrievna, leaving the room, thinking that she was sleeping. But Natasha was not sleeping and, with fixed, open eyes, looked straight ahead from her pale face. All that night Natasha did not sleep, and did not cry, and did not speak to Sonya, who got up and approached her several times.
The next day, for breakfast, as Count Ilya Andreich had promised, he arrived from the Moscow region. He was very cheerful: the deal with the buyer was going well and nothing was keeping him now in Moscow and in separation from the countess, whom he missed. Marya Dmitrievna met him and told him that Natasha had become very unwell yesterday, that they had sent for a doctor, but that she was better now. Natasha did not leave her room that morning. With pursed, cracked lips, dry, fixed eyes, she sat by the window and restlessly peered at those passing along the street and hurriedly looked back at those entering the room. She was obviously waiting for news about him, waiting for him to come or write to her.
