War

I met the Great Patriotic War on a cruise on the submarine "Shchk-401", whose commander, Lieutenant Commander A.E. Moiseev, passed I.A. Kolyshkin's exam for command maturity, i.e., independent control of the ship.

The message about the beginning of the war complicated the task of approaching the Norwegian coast and attacking German ships. We walked along the coast, did not meet any German ships and returned to Yekaterinburg harbor.

Only on July 17, the crew of Moiseev’s submarine sank a minesweeper. More than 30 depth charges were dropped by German sailors, and the submarine received serious damage. The commander skillfully maneuvered the boat, and the personnel showed good training for the survivability of the ship. “The commander is capable of boldly and decisively carrying out combat missions in difficult situations,” this is how the commander of the submarine division assessed Moiseev’s work.

I. A. Kolyshkin served in the Northern Fleet for 14 years. For his subordinates, he was a teacher and educator of underwater snipers.

From August 21 to 24, while on a military cruise, on the submarine "M-172", in the port of Petsamo, he sank a military transport with a displacement of 8,000 tons, leaving the harbor, and the next day he sank another transport with a displacement of 3,000 tons.

Submarines of the 3rd Kolyshkin division sank German transports with a total displacement of 72,500 tons in just the second half of the year (more precisely, until December 15, 1941).

By a decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR dated January 17, Captain II Rank I. A. Kolyshkin was awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union.

In January of this year, Captain 1st Rank Kolyshkin was appointed commander of the Northern Fleet submarine brigade. In February of the same year, the Yaroslavl delegation transferred to the brigade the M-174 submarine Yaroslavsky Komsomolets, built at the expense of young people.

During the command of the brigade by I. A. Kolyshkin from January 26 to April 8. 34 transports, a tanker, 16 warships with a total displacement of about 270,000 tons were sunk, 27 warships and transports with a displacement of 109,000 tons were damaged, 14 mines were laid, on which 5 ships were blown up and sank and one was damaged, 11 special missions were completed.

For well-organized work and the successful completion of naval operations on enemy communications, Captain I Rank I. A. Kolyshkin, by order of the commander of the Northern Fleet dated April 8, 1944, was awarded the Order of Ushakov, II degree. He is the only Yaroslavl hero awarded the Order of Ushakov.

The submarine brigade became a guards brigade, Red Banner, Order of Ushakov, 1st degree, all personnel were awarded orders and medals of the USSR, 7 officers were awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union.

After the war

In the year after graduating from the highest Order of Suvorov, 1st degree, from the Voroshilov Military Academy, he was appointed head of the Black Sea Higher Naval School. He shared his experience in conducting naval operations in the North Sea and Polar theaters of military operations, and educated patriots and defenders of the Fatherland.

In the year he was transferred to the Main Headquarters of the Naval Forces as Deputy Chief of Submarine Training. He was dismissed due to illness on March 6, 1959 from the post of Deputy Head of the Department for State Acceptance of Navy Ships, taking into account the Year of Moscow in the Leningrad RVC.

He was buried at the Novodevichy cemetery.

A street in the Zavolzhsky district of Yaroslavl and Severomorsk, as well as ships of the Ministry of River and Sea Fleet, were named after him this year.

Excerpt characterizing Kolyshkin, Ivan Alexandrovich

“I’m telling you, Balaga,” said Anatole, putting his hands on his shoulders, “do you love me or not?” A? Now you've done your service... Which ones did you come to? A?
“As the ambassador ordered, on your animals,” said Balaga.
- Well, do you hear, Balaga! Kill all three and come at three o'clock. A?
- How will you kill, what will we go on? - Balaga said, winking.
- Well, I’ll break your face, don’t joke! – Anatole suddenly shouted, rolling his eyes.
“Why joke,” the coachman said, chuckling. - Will I be sorry for my masters? As long as the horses can gallop, we will ride.
- A! - said Anatole. - Well, sit down.
- Well, sit down! - said Dolokhov.
- I’ll wait, Fyodor Ivanovich.
“Sit down, lie, drink,” said Anatole and poured him a large glass of Madeira. The coachman's eyes lit up at the wine. Refusing for the sake of decency, he drank and wiped himself with a red silk handkerchief that lay in his hat.
- Well, when to go, Your Excellency?
- Well... (Anatole looked at his watch) let’s go now. Look, Balaga. A? Will you be in time?
- Yes, how about departure - will he be happy, otherwise why not be in time? - Balaga said. “They delivered it to Tver and arrived at seven o’clock.” You probably remember, Your Excellency.
“You know, I once went from Tver for Christmas,” said Anatole with a smile of memory, turning to Makarin, who looked at Kuragin with all his eyes. – Do you believe, Makarka, that it was breathtaking how we flew. We drove into the convoy and jumped over two carts. A?
- There were horses! - Balaga continued the story. “Then I locked the young ones attached to the Kaurom,” he turned to Dolokhov, “so would you believe it, Fyodor Ivanovich, the animals flew 60 miles; I couldn’t hold it, my hands were numb, it was freezing. He threw down the reins, holding it, Your Excellency, himself, and fell into the sleigh. So it’s not like you can’t just drive it, you can’t keep it there. At three o'clock the devils reported. Only the left one died.

Anatole left the room and a few minutes later returned in a fur coat belted with a silver belt and a sable hat, smartly placed on his side and suiting his handsome face very well. Looking in the mirror and in the same position that he took in front of the mirror, standing in front of Dolokhov, he took a glass of wine.
“Well, Fedya, goodbye, thank you for everything, goodbye,” said Anatole. “Well, comrades, friends... he thought about... - my youth... goodbye,” he turned to Makarin and the others.
Despite the fact that they were all traveling with him, Anatole apparently wanted to make something touching and solemn out of this address to his comrades. He spoke in a slow, loud voice and with his chest out, he swayed with one leg. - Everyone take glasses; and you, Balaga. Well, comrades, friends of my youth, we had a blast, we lived, we had a blast. A? Now, when will we meet? I'll go abroad. Long lived, goodbye guys. For health! Hurray!.. - he said, drank his glass and slammed it on the ground.
“Be healthy,” said Balaga, also drinking his glass and wiping himself with a handkerchief. Makarin hugged Anatole with tears in his eyes. “Eh, prince, how sad I am to part with you,” he said.
- Go, go! - Anatole shouted.
Balaga was about to leave the room.
“No, stop,” said Anatole. - Close the doors, I need to sit down. Like this. “They closed the doors and everyone sat down.
- Well, now march, guys! - Anatole said standing up.
The footman Joseph handed Anatoly a bag and a saber, and everyone went out into the hall.
-Where is the fur coat? - said Dolokhov. - Hey, Ignatka! Go to Matryona Matveevna, ask for a fur coat, a sable cloak. “I heard how they were taking away,” Dolokhov said with a wink. - After all, she will jump out neither alive nor dead, in what she was sitting at home; you hesitate a little, there are tears, and dad, and mom, and now she’s cold and back - and you immediately take him into a fur coat and carry him into the sleigh.
The footman brought a woman's fox cloak.
- Fool, I told you sable. Hey, Matryoshka, sable! – he shouted so that his voice was heard far across the rooms.
A beautiful, thin and pale gypsy woman, with shiny black eyes and black, curly, bluish-tinged hair, in a red shawl, ran out with a sable cloak on her arm.
“Well, I’m not sorry, you take it,” she said, apparently timid in front of her master and regretting the cloak.
Dolokhov, without answering her, took the fur coat, threw it on Matryosha and wrapped her up.
“That’s it,” said Dolokhov. “And then like this,” he said, and lifted the collar near her head, leaving it only slightly open in front of her face. - Then like this, see? - and he moved Anatole’s head to the hole left by the collar, from which Matryosha’s brilliant smile could be seen.
“Well, goodbye, Matryosha,” said Anatole, kissing her. - Eh, my revelry is over here! Bow to Steshka. Well, goodbye! Goodbye, Matryosha; wish me happiness.
“Well, God grant you, prince, great happiness,” said Matryosha, with her gypsy accent.
There were two troikas standing at the porch, two young coachmen were holding them. Balaga sat down on the front three, and, raising his elbows high, slowly took apart the reins. Anatol and Dolokhov sat down with him. Makarin, Khvostikov and the footman sat in the other three.
- Are you ready, or what? – asked Balaga.
- Let go! - he shouted, wrapping the reins around his hands, and the troika rushed down Nikitsky Boulevard.
- Whoa! Come on, hey!... Whoa, - you could only hear the cry of Balaga and the young man sitting on the box. On Arbat Square, the troika hit a carriage, something crackled, a scream was heard, and the troika flew down Arbat.
Having given two ends along Podnovinsky, Balaga began to hold back and, returning back, stopped the horses at the intersection of Staraya Konyushennaya.
The good fellow jumped down to hold the horses' bridles, Anatol and Dolokhov walked along the sidewalk. Approaching the gate, Dolokhov whistled. The whistle responded to him and after that the maid ran out.
“Go into the yard, otherwise it’s obvious he’ll come out now,” she said.
Dolokhov remained at the gate. Anatole followed the maid into the yard, turned the corner and ran onto the porch.
Gavrilo, Marya Dmitrievna’s huge traveling footman, met Anatoly.
“Please see the lady,” the footman said in a deep voice, blocking the way from the door.
- Which lady? Who are you? – Anatole asked in a breathless whisper.
- Please, I've been ordered to bring him.
- Kuragin! back,” Dolokhov shouted. - Treason! Back!
Dolokhov, at the gate where he stopped, was struggling with the janitor, who was trying to lock the gate behind Anatoly as he entered. Dolokhov, with his last effort, pushed the janitor away and, grabbing the hand of Anatoly as he ran out, pulled him out the gate and ran with him back to the troika.

Marya Dmitrievna, finding a tearful Sonya in the corridor, forced her to confess everything. Having intercepted Natasha’s note and read it, Marya Dmitrievna, with the note in her hand, went up to Natasha.
“Bastard, shameless,” she told her. - I don’t want to hear anything! - Pushing away Natasha, who was looking at her with surprised but dry eyes, she locked it and ordered the janitor to let through the gate those people who would come that evening, but not to let them out, and ordered the footman to bring these people to her, sat down in the living room, waiting kidnappers.
When Gavrilo came to report to Marya Dmitrievna that the people who had come had run away, she stood up with a frown and folded her hands back, walked around the rooms for a long time, thinking about what she should do. At 12 o'clock at night, feeling the key in her pocket, she went to Natasha's room. Sonya sat in the corridor, sobbing.
