from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Trifon Andrejewitsch Lukjanowitsch ( Russian Трифон Андреевич Лукьянович ; * 1919 in Lahojsk Rajon ; † April 29, 1945 in Berlin ) was a Belarusian soldier in the Red Army .

Life

Lukyanovich worked in the Minsk radio factory from 1939 . At the beginning of the German-Soviet War he was drafted into the Red Army and immediately went to the front . His wife and two daughters were killed in the bombing raids in 1941 . He participated in the Battle of Stalingrad in part and fought during the Lvov-Sandomierz Offensive in Sandomierz - bridgehead . In 1944 he came back home and then went back to the front.

During the Battle of Berlin , the front line ran through the streets of Alt-Treptow . On April 25, when the chief sergeant Lukjanowitsch saw a dead woman in the line of fire on Elsenstrasse and next to her a girl of about three years of age, he crawled over and took cover with the girl . When he carried the girl to a safe place, he suffered a wounding with lesion of the aorta , which led five days later he died. The journalist Boris Nikolayevich Polevoi reported on Lukyanovich's rescue operation in Pravda and testified that he had seen it with his own eyes. This report was only believed when those directly involved were found and the division commander General S. Antonov and his chief of staff M. Safonov testified. Their certificates and letters are kept in the Museum of the Great Patriotic War in Minsk. The girl survived and remembered the Belarusian soldier who got her out of the fire . There is a Lukyanovich memorial plaque on the building of what was then the radio factory on Independence Boulevard in Minsk. The poet Petrus Brovka dedicated a poem to Lukyanovich's rescue act .

On February 23, 1976, on the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Soviet Army, the district mayor inaugurated a memorial wall on Berlin's Elsen Bridge , on which a metal plaque commemorated Lukyanovich's rescue operation. When, after research by the German-Russian Museum Berlin-Karlshorst, the journalist Horst Rückert discovered that the soldier Lukjanowitsch never existed and that his story was fiction, the plaque was removed in 1999. A memorial plaque on the Potsdam Bridge indicates a documented, comparable rescue act by Sergeant Nikolai Ivanovich Massalov . Such a rescue act was the basis for Yevgeny Viktorovich Vuchetich's sculpture “The Liberator” on the central burial mound of the Soviet memorial in Treptower Park .
