The institution “Zonal State Archive in Rechitsa” presents a document containing information about the mother of Hero of the Soviet Union T.P. Bumazhkova

Tikhon Pimenovich Bumazhkov (06/30/1910 – 12/01/1941) – commissar of the partisan detachment “Red October” of the Great Patriotic War, created in the Oktyabrsky district of the Polesie (currently Gomel) region. Together with the detachment commander Fyodor Pavlovsky, he became the first partisan to be awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union (Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR of August 6, 1941). Killed in battle.

Little is known about Bumazhkov’s parents. Landless peasants Pimen Stepanovich and Fyokla Nikitichna lived in the village of Pudovnya, Mogilev province, but in 1907 they moved to the village of Sviyagino, Primorsky Territory, where Tikhon was born. In 1922, the family returned to the Mogilev region and settled in the village of Preobrazhensk. Here Pimen Bumazhkov died in 1940 at the age of 60.

Recently, among the documents of the Zonal State Archives in the city of Rechitsa, decision No. 600 of the executive committee of the Braginsky District Council of Workers’ Deputies dated June 30, 1948 was identified (F. 214. Op. 1. D. 40. L. 113). It talks about the allocation of hayfields from the State Fund to collective farms, organizations and citizens, including “the mother of the deceased Hero of the Soviet Union BUMAZHKOVA.” This allows us to conclude that Fyokla Bumazhkova outlived her son and, as of 1948, lived in the Braginsky district.
