Tribute to the memory
01 May 2021
According to the established
tradition, the staff of the Military Department of the Medical University of
Karaganda on the eve of Victory Day and the Day of the Armed Forces of the
Republic of Kazakhstan held a subbotnik at the monument-memorial to soldiers
who died of wounds in evacuation hospitals during the Great Patriotic War, as
well as at the graves of Heroes of the Soviet Union.
Evacuation hospital No.
3970/71 and its branch, which operated in 1941-1944 in the premises of the
former teachers ' institute and the former paramedic-midwifery school (now one
of the buildings of the medical university and the building of the Bolashak
Academy), in September 1941 received the first batches of wounded who needed
long-term treatment. Evacuation hospital No. 3970/71 operated in Karaganda
until October 1944.
Obelisk over the mass grave of
Soviet soldiers at the city cemetery in the village of Bolshaya Mikhaylovka
Sovetsky district was established in 1945. These warriors were from different
parts of the vast country, but all had one goal – to defeat the fascist
invaders. The natives of Tartary, Bashkiria, and the Mordovian ASSR found their
resting place in the Karaganda land. The soldiers who died in our hospitals did
not wait at home in Leningrad, Yaroslavl, Omsk, Tomsk…
Today, 76 years later, the
mass grave is kept in perfect order.
