Feat Of The Chechens During The Great Patriotic War In Modern Historiography

Abstract

History has not known such examples of heroic deeds, courage, boldness, and military skill, which the soldiers of the Red Army demonstrated during the Great Patriotic War against the German fascist invaders. The Soviet soldier sacrificed his life in the name of victory, boldly faced off with an enemy tank, covered the embrasure of an enemy bunker or earth and timber bunker with his body without hesitation, rammed an enemy plane, etc. Tens of thousands of people from the Checheno-Ingush ASSR, along with all Soviet soldiers, wrote many heroic pages of the antifascist victory and increased the valiant glory of our country. According to the recent studies, the number of Chechens who fought against the Nazis during the Great Patriotic War was more than 40 thousand people. The historical literature reflects the contribution of the Chechen people to the antifascist victory. The paper investigates modern regional historiography in terms of the military and labor feat of the Chechen people during the Great Patriotic War. The main attention is paid to new trends and approaches to understanding the military theme, its key and debatable issues. The authors tried to impartially, based on extensive documentary materials, carry out an objective study on the participation of the Chechen people in the Great Patriotic War. A tremendous amount of work has been done to find and investigate secret documents and materials about the participation of the Chechen people in the Great Patriotic War and their deportation in 1944.
