Monument to Hero in Bilitui

In Bilitui (a small village in the south of Zabaikalsky Krai) there is a monument to the great Soviet General Dmitry Mikhaylovich Karbyshev. It was built in 1989 in honour of the victory in the Great Patriotic War by the solders of engineer battalion.

   The monument was rebuilt in 2009 by the initiative group under the direction of Artemova Irina Anatolyevna, a teacher of Technology. Most of teachers and pupils took part in reconstruction of the monument.

   Dmitriy Mikhaylovich Karbyshev was born on the 26-th of October 1880 to the well-known Siberian Cossak starshina family of Kryashenorigin.

  At the age of 12 he lost his father. He was raised by his mother. After finishing the Siberian Cadet Corps in 1898 he graduated from the Saint-Petersburg Nikolaev Military Engineering College in 1900. 

   He was serving in Russo-Japanese war, the World War I. In 1926 he became an instructor at the M.V. Frunze Military Academy, and in 1936, he joined the General Staff Academy.  In 1940 he was awarded the rank of lieutenant general in the Corps of Engineers.

   The World War II caught him at the headquarters of Soviet 3-d Army in Grodno. In August 1941 Karbyshev suffered from post-concussion syndrome in combat at the Dnieper River and while unconscious was captured by the Nazis.

  He was held in German concentration camps. Despite his age he was one of the active leaders of the camp resistance movement. On the 18-th of February 1945 in the concentration camp Mauthausen Dmitry Karbyshev with other 500 prisoners were doused with water in the cold and died. He became the symbol of indomitable will and strength.

   On the 16-th of August 1946 Dmitry Karbyshev was awarded    the Hero of the Soviet Union medal.

   Every year on the 9-th of May all the pupils with their parents and grandparents take part in the immortal Regiment march. They held the photos of their relatives who took part in the World War II. There is an official meeting by the Monument to Karbyshev. So this monument has a great value in fostering a sense of patriotism and pride in our country.
