Excerpt characterizing Gerdt, Alexander Alexandrovich
The next day the troops set out on a campaign, and Boris did not have time to visit either Bolkonsky or Dolgorukov until the Battle of Austerlitz and remained for a while in the Izmailovsky regiment.At dawn on the 16th, Denisov's squadron, in which Nikolai Rostov served, and which was in the detachment of Prince Bagration, moved from an overnight stop into action, as they said, and, having passed about a mile behind the other columns, was stopped on the high road. Rostov saw the Cossacks, the 1st and 2nd squadrons of hussars, infantry battalions with artillery pass by, and generals Bagration and Dolgorukov with their adjutants passed by. All the fear that he, as before, felt before the case; all the internal struggle through which he overcame this fear; all his dreams of how he would distinguish himself in this matter like a hussar were in vain. Their squadron was left in reserve, and Nikolai Rostov spent that day bored and sad. At 9 o'clock in the morning he heard gunfire ahead of him, shouts of hurray, saw the wounded being brought back (there were few of them) and, finally, saw how a whole detachment of French cavalrymen was led through in the middle of hundreds of Cossacks. Obviously, the matter was over, and the matter was obviously small, but happy. Soldiers and officers passing back talked about the brilliant victory, about the occupation of the city of Wischau and the capture of an entire French squadron. The day was clear, sunny, after a strong night frost, and the cheerful shine of the autumn day coincided with the news of the victory, which was conveyed not only by the stories of those who took part in it, but also by the joyful expression on the faces of soldiers, officers, generals and adjutants traveling to and from Rostov . The heart of Nikolai ached all the more painfully, as he had in vain suffered all the fear that preceded the battle, and spent that joyful day in inaction.
- Rostov, come here, let's drink out of grief! - Denisov shouted, sitting down on the edge of the road in front of a flask and a snack.
The officers gathered in a circle, eating and talking, near Denisov's cellar.
- Here's another one being brought! - said one of the officers, pointing to the French captured dragoon, which was being led on foot by two Cossacks.
One of them was leading a tall and beautiful French horse taken from a prisoner.
- Sell the horse! - Denisov shouted to the Cossack.
- If you please, your honor...
The officers stood up and surrounded the Cossacks and the captured Frenchman. The French dragoon was a young fellow, an Alsatian, who spoke French with a German accent. He was choking with excitement, his face was red, and, hearing French, he quickly spoke to the officers, addressing first one and then the other. He said that they would not have taken him; that it was not his fault that he was taken, but that le caporal was to blame, who sent him to seize the blankets, that he told him that the Russians were already there. And to every word he added: mais qu"on ne fasse pas de mal a mon petit cheval [But do not offend my horse] and caressed his horse. It was clear that he did not understand well where he was. He then apologized, that he was taken, then, presuming his superiors before him, he showed his soldierly efficiency and care for the service... He brought with him to our rearguard in all its freshness the atmosphere of the French army, which was so alien to us.
The Cossacks gave the horse for two chervonets, and Rostov, now the richest of the officers, having received the money, bought it.
“Mais qu"on ne fasse pas de mal a mon petit cheval,” the Alsatian said good-naturedly to Rostov when the horse was handed over to the hussar.
Rostov, smiling, reassured the dragoon and gave him money.
- Hello! Hello! - said the Cossack, touching the prisoner’s hand so that he would move on.
- Sovereign! Sovereign! - suddenly it was heard between the hussars.
Everything ran and hurried, and Rostov saw several horsemen with white plumes on their hats approaching from behind along the road. In one minute everyone was in place and waiting. Rostov did not remember and did not feel how he reached his place and got on his horse. Instantly his regret about not participating in the matter passed, his everyday mood in the circle of people looking closely at him, instantly any thought about himself disappeared: he was completely absorbed in the feeling of happiness that comes from the proximity of the sovereign. He felt rewarded by this proximity alone for the loss of that day. He was happy, like a lover who had waited for the expected date. Not daring to look at the front and not looking back, he felt with an enthusiastic instinct its approach. And he felt this not just from the sound of the hooves of the horses of the approaching cavalcade, but he felt it because, as he approached, everything around him became brighter, more joyful and more significant and festive. This sun moved closer and closer for Rostov, spreading rays of gentle and majestic light around itself, and now he already feels captured by these rays, he hears its voice - this gentle, calm, majestic and at the same time so simple voice. As it should have been according to Rostov’s feelings, dead silence fell, and in this silence the sounds of the sovereign’s voice were heard.
These days we remember the Pskov paratroopers who died 11 years ago. In the battle near Ulus-Kert, the lives of 84 people were cut short. Among them was a boy from our city, Sasha Gerdt, who was awarded the title of Hero of Russia. He entered our pedagogical school twice, once after nine grades, the second after eleven, and both times he left voluntarily. In the Chronicle of the Pedagogical College, it is said about him that he seemed to feel that he was being led through life not by a modest teacher’s star, but by the bright and tragic Star of the Hero of Russia. He was very capable, but pedagogical problems he was not interested, he wanted something different, and his mother needed help. When the news of his death reached us, we didn’t want to believe it, he was very young, his whole life was ahead of him... How could such children be sent to their deaths?!
I would like to remind you of him, at least a little.
Guard Corporal Gerdt Alexander Aleksandrovich - deputy commander of a combat vehicle and gunner, was a senior gunner on a business trip to the Chechen Republic.
Born on February 11, 1981 in the village of Ordzhonikidze, Kustanai region (Kazakhstan). Alexander Gerdt spent his childhood and adolescence in the village of Siny Kolodets, Bryansk region, where the family moved after the death of his father in a car accident. Here Alexander graduated from school and studied at the Novozybkov Pedagogical School. Then he decided to help his mother and went to work. On military service was called up by the Novozybkovsky RVK of the Bryansk region on May 25, 1999. He ended up in the airborne troops.
In 2000, together with his comrades, he was sent to the Chechen Republic, where constitutional order was being established. On the night of February 18, a large group of militants tried to knock down Pskov paratroopers from a height. The squad commander was wounded and Alexander Gerdt took command. With targeted fire, the paratroopers destroyed several bandits, and the rest were forced to retreat.
February 29 major battle unfolded at the exit from the Argun Gorge, where a company of paratroopers became an obstacle to the path of 2.5 thousand mercenaries breaking through. Death mowed down everything around. Alexander Gerdt took command of the squad in place of the deceased squad commander. Gerdt was wounded, but continued to fight. The second wound was fatal. Losing consciousness, Alexander, with a last effort of will, forced himself to throw a grenade at the oncoming militants. The brave warrior died.
For the courage and heroism shown in battles with terrorists, Guard Corporal Gerdt Alexander Alexandrovich was awarded the title Hero of Russia (posthumously).
