CrimeaPRESS reports:
Of these, 18 are in hard-to-reach, mountainous areas.
Minister of Emergency Situations of the Republic of Crimea Sergey Sadakliev said that in preparation for the celebration of the 78th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War, employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Republic of Crimea put in order more than 50 memorial places.
Among the ennobled places, including 18 — located in hard-to-reach, mountainous places of the Crimea, at high altitudes and at a considerable distance from settlements. The start of this action was given in 2016, when during a patrol by the Belogorsk detachment, at an altitude of 865 meters above sea level, a hill of stones was accidentally discovered, heavily overgrown with overgrowth and a rusted sign. The inscription was visible on the plate: “Mount Karagol. Place of deployment of the fighting of the 2nd partisan brigade (November 1943 — March 1944)— said Sergey Sadakliev.
With the direct participation of rescuers, the monument was restored, the surrounding area was cleaned and landscaped, the plate was replaced with a new one.
As it turned out, the original iron plate was installed in 1974 by Komsomol members of the Kara-Dag tourist club. It was the first so-called «Star Trek» of the members of the tourist club, and the first point of their route to the places of military glory of the Crimean partisans.
Not much is known about the place itself: At an altitude of 865 meters above sea level, in the Belogorsk forests, there was the headquarters of the second partisan brigade. On Mount Karagol, the enemy managed to break through to the top and cut off part of the partisans from the main forces of the detachment. However, with a bold move by a group of scouts who came to the rescue, the enemy’s chain was broken, and the partisans left the encirclement. In total, from November 1943 to April 1944, the second partisan brigade conducted 117 combat operations.
Subsequently, rescuers discovered many more places in the mountains that require attention. These are the graves of partisans, burials of local residents, partisan camps and battlefields.
The Bakhchisarai emergency rescue team «Crimea-Spas» constantly maintains in order the grave of the partisan Vizhdet Mustafayev, which is located in the Shelkovichnoye tract, Bakhchisarai district and was accidentally discovered by rescuers in a ruined state while patrolling the mountainous forest area.
The rescuers also visited the grave of partisan Ennan Bekirov. A metal plate on the grave of a partisan was discovered by rescuers in 2020 during search and rescue operations in the Lesnikovo tract, Bakhchisarai district.
On the initiative of the employees of the Bakhchisaray detachment of the GKU RK «CRIMEA-SPAS» and with the assistance of caring residents, a tombstone was made and installed.
The mass grave of the victims of fascist terror in the area of the tract Chair has been completely repaired by our rescuers and is maintained in proper condition. All these burials are located in remote areas from settlements.— said the Crimean minister.
Sergey Sadakliev also noted that the employees of the State Public Institution of the Republic of Crimea «Fire Protection of the Republic of Crimea» also put in order more than 30 monuments in rural areas that are within the area of responsibility of the units. Such events are an annual tradition for employees of the emergency department.
