Life

Childhood and youth 1929 to 1945

Shelokhonov's ancestors came from the Ukraine , the Baltic States and Poland . Pyotr Schelochonov's grandfather, Tito Schelochonowitsch, was a farmer ; his father, Larion Titowitsch, was a veterinarian and worked in horse breeding. The son was supposed to follow the father's profession, but the Second World War thwarted these plans.

Belarus was occupied by the German armed forces. He only survived the bombing raids because he had left the house beforehand. After the bombing the houses, the school and the farm were in ruins, his parents were dead. Pyotr was seized by the German police, he fled and was wounded by gunfire, scars remained on his face. He wandered around and hid. In the autumn of 1941, an injured cow that he was milking saved him from starvation. While procuring food he was caught by partisans with whom he lived until 1943.

From 1942 on, Pyotr Schelochonov performed theater scenes, caricatures of Hitler and parodies of the occupiers among the partisans . In 1944, the 15-year-old owned a self-made puppet theater with puppets and a stage that he had made and with which he moved around Belarus and the Ukraine , earning food and money.

In 1946, the persecution of creative intellectuals began, closing publishers, magazines, and theaters. Pyotr was accepted into the commercial vocational school and very soon punished by the authorities for the improper humor and political jokes by a punishment company for several months for work on the construction of the Kirov Stadium.
