Peter Mikhin Biography

His life is most closely connected with the Kursk land, the patriot of which Peter Mikhin was until the end of days. Being a native of the Voronezh region, Pyotr Alekseevich lived most of his life in Kursk, devoting it to the public education and heading for more than 30 years of the Kursk Institute for the improvement of teachers. Pyotr Alekseevich was born in the village of Bogan Borisoglebsky district of the Voronezh province on March 2.

He graduated from the Leningrad Pedagogical University named after Herzen. He commanded a platoon, battery and division. He was wounded three times and shellated many times. Retired lieutenant colonel, disabled war of group II. The Great Patriotic War left a deep mark in his biography, which he wrote about in books dedicated to soldier's feat and military everyday life “Cavaliers - the soldiers of the Solovyny Territory” Kursk,, “The War, as it was Kursk,,,“ Artillery, Stalin gave an order!

My first acquaintance with Pyotr Alekseevich took place at M at the Institute for Advanced Teachers, where the presentation of the book “Human Documents of War”, published in Kursk in the same year, was held. It published the memoirs of the veteran and his wife - military doctor Varvara Aleksandrovna Mikhina Somova, who passed the military roads. Pyotr Alekseevich prepared them for printing.

At the presentation, the veteran warmly welcomed the publication of such books relevant to the education of modern youth.

And in a personal conversation he thanked for the work, noting its importance for the history of the war as a whole. Subsequently, we repeatedly met with Peter Alekseevich at military-patriotic events. He proudly noted that he himself took up the writer's pen, addressing the books primarily to children and grandchildren. One of our last meetings happened in May at an event in the Union of Journalists of the Kursk Region, where we were awarded diplomas of the winners of the regional journalistic competition named after Konstantin Vorobyov.

Peter Mikhin gave a lot of effort and time to creativity, in his organization, showing clarity and ability to work. I remember how resting in the sanatorium named after Ivan Chernyakhovsky, he painted the mode of operation “on the shelves”, devoting in it a place for conversations with people, walks, and most importantly, to the works at the desk. Sometimes, with newly written leaves, Peter Alekseevich came to the ward to read them and find out the reader's perception of the work.

He loved to walk in the fresh air, share his memories of meetings with famous people, in particular, with writer Alexander Kuprin and, of course, about the war. For me, the fact that Peter Mikhin was familiar with my mother Lidia Alekseevna Medvedskaya, who was in charge of the USSR Department of the USSR at the Kursk State Pedagogical Institute. She often visited the Institute for Advanced Teachers, where she gave lectures for teachers of the city and the region.

This brought our communication closer to Peter Alekseevich. Pyotr Alekseevich was proud that he gave one of his books, also published in English abroad, Russian President Vladimir Putin Veteran supported ties with the Borisoglebsky Museum of Local Lore, where his versatile activities were reflected in numerous documents. Countrymen are proud of the exploits of the legendary hero.

Pyotr Alekseevich Mikhin will remain in the memory of everyone who knew him, as a decent, honest and kind person. A real patriot of the homeland. In January, Peter Mikhin became a member of the Russian Writers Union. A membership ticket to the front -line soldier was awarded to the chairman of the Union Nikolai Ivanov. And in the spring, the cultural center of family reading and leisure “Centralized Library System” was given the name of the veteran.

The institution created the "Hall of Glory of Peter Alekseevich Mikhin." A long -standing friend of the editorial office of GI was full of creative plans, but time was prevented by them. In December of the same year, Peter Alekseevich was gone. He did not live only a few months before his flying. The veteran was buried on December 9, on the day of the heroes of the Fatherland.
