FROM THE HISTORY OF THE STRUGGLE AGAINST THE NAZI INVADERS ON THE RAILWAYS OF THE OCCUPIED PART OF THE USSR (1941–1945)

The article deals with some issues of the struggle of partisans behind enemy lines during the Great Patriotic War. Due to the large expanses of the USSR, railway communications during the war years became particularly important for supplying the Eastern Front of Germany. The task of the partisan detachments was to interrupt the railway communication and weaken the troops of the Germanfascist invaders, and thereby contribute to the strategic operations of the Red Army. The article names several heroes of the partisan movement, including Far Easterners.
