Улица Федорова
Fedorov Street in Tyumen is named in memory of the Hero of the Soviet Union. But there are two Fedorovs among the heroes of the Tyumen land.
Nikolai Grigoryevich Fedorov was born in 1918 in the village of Sorochkina, Ishim district, into a large and friendly peasant family. In 1930, during the collectivization of agriculture, the Fedorovs were kicked out of their grandfather’s home. They announced: "Go to all four sides." I had to wander around the surrounding villages, Nikolai and his sisters had to beg. According to them, "it was insulting and embarrassing." The villagers begged the local authorities to return them back, however, they did not give back their house. The head of the family died at the age of 37 — the years of wandering did not pass without a trace. Nikolai graduated from a seven-year school and worked as a tractor driver at the Red Army collective farm. In 1939, he was drafted into the army and sent to the Soviet-Finnish war. Then the Great Patriotic War… In July 1941, he was seriously wounded near Smolensk. After the hospital, he graduated from the Tomsk Artillery College and became a lieutenant, commander of an anti-tank platoon of 76-millimeter guns. He distinguished himself in the battles for the liberation of Belarus. He received the Gold Star of the Hero of the Soviet Union for breaking through the Spree River near the German city of Bigen in April 1945.

He received the Gold Star of the Hero of the Soviet Union for breaking through the Spree River near the German city of Bigen in April 1945.
After the war, he served in Germany and Siberia. When his rifle division, the 95th Verkhnedneprov Red Banner of the Order of Suvorov, was disbanded in 1959, he transferred to the local military administration, the military commissar in Zaozerny, Krasnoyarsk Territory. In October 1966, he returned to Tyumen, where he headed the city military enlistment office, which was located in a two-story wooden building with stove heating at the corner of Republic and Ordzhonikidze streets. There is a collection point for conscripts in the courtyard, as well as wooden houses for families of officers. In 1967, this place was cleared for a telephone exchange.
In 1969, Colonel Fedorov retired from the reserve for health reasons and worked as head of the personnel department at the engine plant until his death in 1976.
There is a memorial plaque on the house No. 1 on Geologorazvedchikov Street: "Here lived …".

Pyotr Yeremeyevich Fedorov is four years older than his namesake. He is a native of the village of Kolesnikovo, Zavodoukovsky district. He worked as a tractor driver. In 1936, he was sent to serve in the tank forces. He had his own "little war" with the Japanese at Lake Hassan. Then, like everyone else, the Great Patriotic War…
In the award list of the commander of the 1st tank battalion of the 55th Guards Red Banner of the Order of Suvorov and Bogdan Khmelnitsky of the tank brigade of the Guard, Major Fedorov, there is a note: "he presented himself to the title of Hero of the Soviet Union earlier: in 1943 near Kiev and in 1944 across the Vistula River."
He received the Gold Star of the hero in April 1945.
The tank brigade was commanded by Guard Colonel David Dragunsky, who joined the first battle as a senior lieutenant in 1941 and became twice a Hero of the Soviet Union. The brigade was part of the 7th Guards Kiev-Berlin Orders of Lenin and Suvorov Tank Corps, in which 64 tankmen were awarded the title of Hero (twice, in addition to the Dragoon, four more: Alexander Golovachev, Nikolai Goryushkin, Zakhar Slyusarenko, Semyon Khokhryakov).
By May 1945, the Armed Forces of the Soviet Union numbered 11 million 365 thousand people. The XII session of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR adopted on June 23, 1945 (the day before the Victory Day Parade) the law on the demobilization of 13 seniors in the first place. Demobilization began on July 5, 1945 and was mostly over by early 1948. 33 enlisted men of military age and non-commissioned officers were dismissed from the Armed Forces — a total of 8.5 million (with officers) were demobilized, the army decreased to 2,874,000 people.
Since 1957, tankman Fedorov lived in Tyumen, worked in the regional executive committee as an inspector of the Department of Labor and social Affairs. There is a memorial plaque at No. 43 Volodarsky Street: "… lived… he died in 1993." Should I name another Tyumen street after him? Following the example of the well-known "2nd Stroitelei Street" would be "2nd Fedorova Street".
The sons of the artilleryman Fedorov became geologists. The youngest son, Yuri Nikolaevich, first deputy general director of the scientific center of the LUKOIL oil company located in Tyumen, said that the namesake heroes maintained friendly relations. We always met on May 9th and raised a glass to the Victory.
They had nothing to argue about: both had gone through two wars, died in artillery positions and burned in tanks. They defended the Fatherland and remained alive "to spite all deaths."
And the street, as Sonya, the great-granddaughter of Nikolai Grigoryevich, a third-grader at school No. 5 in Tyumen, wrote in her essay, is in memory of all the Fedorovs. There are eighteen of the 11 633 Heroes of the Soviet Union. Nine Fedorovs were awarded this title posthumously.
