Taganrog during the Great Patriotic War
Forty-first, nerves were taunted to the limit. End the ominous word was the war.
In the morning of October 17, 1941 German troops entered in Taganrog. Alien speech was sounded and strange new orders.
October 26, 1941 according to the orders of the German High Command all Jews were to meet at Vladimir square near the school #26. More than 1800 people were gathered there – men, women and children. All of them were sent to the outskirts of the city in Petrushina Balka, where the were shot.
… Within two months after the occupation of the city, the underground patriotic organization emerged.
The underground central headquarter stood at the head.
The central headquarter led the entire commando agitation and advocacy work.
Afonov became the leader of Taganrog underground patriotic organization. And a former Commissioner of the Taganrog Komsomol, Semjon Morozov became his assistant.
Fascist resistance movement in Taganrog continued for the duration of the occupation of the city, which was the longest of all cities of Rostov Region: 680 days from 17.10.1941 to 30.08.1943.
The entire families – Pertsev, Turubarov, Afonov, Kamenskyh, Zhilenco et al. Were the members of the organization. Most groups were active in the factories “Krasniy Kotelschik”, “Krasniy Hydropress”, Metallurgical plant, on the railroad station.
Before Morozov’s death, meetings were held in the Turubarov’s house (Italianskiy, 107)
On the house where Turubarov’s family lived, has a plaque. Its opening was held on February 25, 1983, to coommemorate the 40 th anniversary of the Taganrog Underground.

She was born in Taganrog. The youngest in the Turubarov’s family. Before the Second World War begins, she studied at school #29. She was a member of the Young Communist League. During the occupation, together with her brother and older sister she took part in the fight against the Nazis. She was arrested in February 1943, was subjected to vile abuse and shot.

Taganrog Underground members, despite of their young age, found the strength and courage to fight with the enemy within. Many members of the Underground at that time were 12-17 years old.
July, 12 1943 at dawn, columns sentenced to death patriots walked the streets of the city under the control of a thick chain of armed Gestapo. There were people of different generations that did not inclined their heads under the fascist’s executioners. At that day, the Nazis shot more than 120 heroes of Taganrog Underground.
Through time they talk with us, those who will never return. Our duty is never to forget that terrible war, those who saved their homeland.
In the history of our region there are many moments worthy of attention and respect. One of the most painful memory locations in the southern Russia is the valley of the Mius-river, that in 1941-1942 and 1943 became the area of blooody battles between the Soviet and German armies.
The main line of defense Mius-Front began off the coast of the Azov Sea to the east of Taganrog, then ran along the Mius River, which gave the name to the entire line. Mius-Front for a long time detained the advance of the Red Army in the south, and quite possibly changed the course of events of the war itself.
In general, on the Mius-Front from 1941 to 1943, we have lost more than 800 thousands people, which is approximately 25-30 full-fledged divisions, or 3% of the total losses of the Soviet Army during the war.
Scientists and searchers were raised German tanks from the bottom of the river Mius, on fields of battles conducted excavations. All these, at first glance little, details help us to recover the full picture of those tragic events, which so long withheld, to commemorate the forgotten heroes who sacrificed their lives defending our future.
