BLYAKHER ARKADIY MOISEYEVICH
BLYAKHER ARKADIY (ABRAM(I)) MOISEYEVICH (MOVSHEVICH) (1923–2020)
He was ascout, artillerist, Battle of Stalingrad, Liberation of Warsaw and capture of Berlin participant. He survived to dedicate all his work in the following years to one subject only – To make them remember.
We remember Arkadiy Moiseyevich Blyakher as well.
“I was born on the 19th of January, 1923, in Minsk. My parents had three children, me being the youngest... In 1941, I graduated from the 10th grade... I have to say that now we are used to secondary education being the norm and it does not surprise us, but back then, it was quite impressive... We graduated on June 21, 1941... Since I had not slept all night, I woke up quite late... and then we heard from the loudspeaker... - war. On June 22, we saw German planes flying over Minsk, and on the 23rd the first German bombs fell on the city...”

Arkadiy Blyakher received his baptism of fire in the Battle of Stalingrad in 1942, where he was seriously injured. After recovering, he made it to the front again.
In the fall of 1943, the 230th Rifle Division engaged in fierce battles with the Nazis on the territory of Ukraine, near the Severny Donets River. Then people named these territory "the valley of death".Volodya, a teenager, inadvertently joined the artillerists. He began to help in the kitchen. It turned out later that Volodya Tarnovskiy is a full orphan. The political workers managed to get the chief to recruit the boy as the son of the regiment, and give him a full-time job as an artillery forward observer. Arkadiy Blyakher was the chief intelligence officer of the division at the time and therefore became his commanding officer. The young soldier ended up reaching Berlin with the regiment.

In Berlin
This photo was taken by Arkadiy Blyakher in Berlin in 1945. He captured the moment forever: Volodya Tarnovskiy, the foster-son of the artillery regiment, signs his name on the Reichstag column. The battery commanding officer Nikolai Sumtsov encourages him:
“Our 230th Rifle Division stormed the center of Berlin together with other formations of the 5th Shock Army. We all left our signatures on the fallen Reichstag. I had a camera on me... And this is how this picture was possible, where my 13-year-old fellow soldier signs his name on the Reichstag column.”

“The son of the regiment” video
Arkadiy Moiseyevich Blyakher himself wrote only four words on the Reichstag: “Arkadiy. Minsk. Stalingrad. Berlin.”.
“I will remember the war all my life, from its first to its last day. In Berlin, just half an hour before the end of the battle, my friend Ivan Khomutovich perished. We were the same age - both 22 years old - and we were very closde friends. I wrote a letter to his parents [they live in the Chernihiv region]. We sent them some money and a package. And his father then writes: “What is this that you sent me? Give me back Vanya! But how could we get him back... This is how our Vanya stayed in Berlin; he died half an hour before the victory...”
Verstova, A. Arkadiy Blyakher: “The brain’s constant work is very important”, Brest newspaper
Arkadiy Blyakher fought on the Don, South, Third, Fourth Ukrainian and First Belorussian fronts, participated in the Battle of Stalingrad, in the Liberation of Warsaw, reached Berlin as a 22-year-old Captain, Chief of Staff of the division.
He was awarded two Orders of the Patriotic War, 1st class, the Order of the Patriotic War, 2nd class and the Order of the Red Star, medals For the Defense of Stalingrad, For the Liberation of Warsaw, For the Capture of Berlin, and For Victory over Germany in the Great Patriotic War of 1941 –1945, jubilee medals.

AWARD SHEETS
“I was recommended for a decoration with the Order of the Red Banner in Germany, and the regiment commanding officer wrote a resolution for the Order of Alexander Nevskiy on the award sheet. But I was not entitled to Nevskiy according to my position; it’s for the battery commanding officer, the battalion commander, the regiment chief of staff. The division chief of staff is not entitled to it. So they rewrote the award sheet for me, and the clerk, Stolyarov, took the old one and brought it to me. It was a joke, really – I’m reading this award sheet, and there is information on how many Germans I destroyed and so on. Is it even possible to count it? Go figure how much you destroyed. We knew how many shells were used, how many we fired, but where and how accurate they hit is anyone’s guess.”
Blyakher Arkady Moiseevich: Interview / Arkady Blyakher; prepared by A. Drabkin; A. Pekarsh
Back then at the front, Arkadiy Blyakher made a promise to himself that he would devote all his remaining years to remembering the war and the victims if he survived. And he did survive. He majored in Journalism in the Belarusian State University, got married and came to Brest with his family to work, where he continued to “fight” in his articles for 75 years. Arkadiy Blyakher dedicated his journalistic career to search efforts, recovering the names of unsung heroes and paying homage to those who died.
“At the front I had kind of a freelance job. I began to write short articles about my friends for the army newspapers. People noticed me doing it, and I was tasked with writing letters to the relatives and friends of those who died. It was a sad job: you need to find fitting words, somehow explain it, lessen the blow. It was then when I decided that if I stay alive, I would work with “commemoration”. So, after the war I enrolled into the Belarusian State University, the Journalism Department.”

Arkadiy Blyakher at his desk
Arkadiy Blyakher made it possible for the names of the heroes resting in a mass grave at the entrance to the city park of Brest to be recovered. A unique fact - in total, more than 70 front-line heroes are buried in the mass grave, who had never served in one unit or participated in the Liberation of Brest side by side. Their bodies were taken to Brest from different places and buried in the park. 10 Heroes of the Soviet Union are buried there. A. Blyakher did a lot of tracker work and brought the light into the fate and death circumstances of each Hero. He had a nickname – "Brest Smirnov" [S. Smirnov is a writer, author of the book "Brest Fortress"].
Thanks to Arkadiy Moiseyevich, monuments and memorial plaques appeared in many cities, more details were added to inscriptions, and different streets and enterprises became named after heroes. The memory of the numerous victims of the Nazi executioners and their accomplices was also perpetuated. Because of his work the monument to over 54 thousand people shot on Bronnaya Gora, most of them Jews, was built and the memorial to the victims of the Brest ghetto was created.
“
“My little son constantly came home tear-eyed and said that he was teased outside because all Jews are traitors. Then I decided to never stop studying the history of Jews during the wartime.”
In 1995, Arkady Blyakher created the Brest regional scientific and educational center "Holocaust" and for 15 years he was its head. This center is focused on preserving the memory of the tragedy of the Jews of Brest during the war.
“Sometimes it happens that when people start talking about war, the only word they use is heroes. However, I think it would be more correct to call them people who were fulfilling their duty. We were forced to do what was necessary at that moment - defend the Motherland... simply because it has befallen us.”
