Excerpt characterizing Novikov, Vasily
From the hall of the nobility the sovereign went into the hall of the merchants. He stayed there for about ten minutes. Pierre, among others, saw the sovereign leaving the merchants' hall with tears of tenderness in his eyes. As they later learned, the sovereign had just begun his speech to the merchants when tears flowed from his eyes, and he finished it in a trembling voice. When Pierre saw the sovereign, he went out, accompanied by two merchants. One was familiar to Pierre, a fat tax farmer, the other was a head, with a thin, narrow beard, yellow face. They both cried. The thin man had tears in his eyes, but the fat farmer wept like a child and kept repeating:- Take life and property, Your Majesty!
Pierre no longer felt anything at that moment except the desire to show that he didn’t care about anything and that he was ready to sacrifice everything. His speech with a constitutional direction appeared to him as a reproach; he was looking for an opportunity to make amends for it. Having learned that Count Mamonov was donating the regiment, Bezukhov immediately announced to Count Rostopchin that he was giving up a thousand people and their contents.
Old man Rostov could not tell his wife what had happened without tears, and he immediately agreed to Petya’s request and went to record it himself.
The next day the sovereign left. All the assembled nobles took off their uniforms, again settled in their houses and clubs and, grunting, gave orders to the managers about the militia, and were surprised at what they had done.

with mother Novikova Tatyana VasilievnaMemoirs of a fellow soldier - I.I. Gavrilenko
In his memoirs, his fellow soldier I.I. Gavrilenko writes: “I remember Vasily Ivanovich Novikov as young, handsome and very cheerful, even a little mischievous, but very sincere.

Having entered into an unequal battle with an enemy armored train, its tank crew, skillfully maneuvering, was able to disable the locomotive and thereby stop the armored train. In August 1944, Vasily Novikov was awarded the Order of the Red Banner. In the same memoirs of a fellow soldier there are the following lines: “Like a meteor, he fearlessly flew on his “thirty-four”, destroying the enemy’s manpower and equipment with fire and tracks... And when there were short respites between battles,
Vasily Ivanovich again became cheerful and mischievous, with a sly look in his eyes, with his cap jauntily tilted to one side, from under which curled a forelock of black curly hair.”
Attacking from the Sandomierz bridgehead in the direction of Breslau, the first Ukrainian front participated in the liberation of Poland. On January 17, the 3rd Guards Tank Army, having overcome enemy defenses on the Barta River, stormed the military-industrial center of Poland, the city of Czestochowa.

Memorial plaque installed on the former workshop
factory named after KRAF, where V.I. worked. NovikovThe local newspaper wrote:
Vasiliev K. We remember them by name...
Meeting with fellow soldiers of Vasily Ivanovich Novikov.The workers of the machine shop will remember September 15 of this year for a long time. On this day, veterans of the Third Guards Tank Army, in which our fellow countryman, a former turner, fought, came to them. Hero of the Soviet Union Vasily Ivanovich Novikov. On the occasion of the arrival of the guests, a rally was held in the workshop. It was attended by the former head of the political department of the 53rd Guards Tank Brigade, retired colonel Alexander Yakovlevich Zarapin, former tank commander, military friend and comrade of Vasily Ivanovich, retired guard lieutenant Mikhail Grigorievich Niskerov, former intelligence officer, retired guard captain Vladimir Aleksandrovich Lisitsyn, former flamethrower, retired guard senior sergeant Lev Nikolaevich Petrovykh and former loader, retired guard senior sergeant Ivan Ivanovich Gavrilenko. On the chest of each are military orders and medals - awards for courage and heroism shown in battles in defense of the Motherland during the Great Patriotic War.
The meeting was opened by the secretary of the party bureau of the workshop organization E.M. Turzhansky.
The first to speak was A. Ya. Zarapin.
We are pleased,” he said, “on behalf of the Council of Tank Army Veterans to convey to you, fellow countrymen of our fellow soldier, heartfelt greetings and congratulations on Tankmen’s Day, which was celebrated yesterday in our country.
“I knew Vasily Ivanovich,” the war veteran continues, “from the first day of his service as part of the 53rd Guards Tank Brigade. I remember him as a brave, honest, intelligent and very sincere young man. We, veterans, often remember him and are proud of him and his heroic feat. He was the first to cross the state border in his tank and enter the territory of Western Europe. In an unequal heavy battle, Novikov’s tank was hit by the Nazis and caught fire, and Vasily Ivanovich himself received serious wounds, from which he died. You, fellow countrymen of the hero, can be proud of your comrade who worked within the walls of this workshop.
With bated breath, the rally participants listened to the speech of their fighting friend and comrade Vasily Ivanovich M. G. Niskerov.
Mikhail Grigorievich, together with V.I. Novikov, received combat vehicles, the famous “thirty-fours”. Together they arrived in a tank brigade, and then for a year they fought side by side on the front line, smashing hordes of fascists.
There are people,” he said, “with whom you work for many years or have fought for a long time, but their names fade in memory. I remember the image of Vasily Ivanovich for the rest of my life. Young, handsome, with a full head of hair, brave, even desperate, but honest, good-natured and very sensitive to his comrades - this is how I remember him.
Our first battle together, says the war veteran, was near Ternopil. The operation was called "Lvov". The Nazis concentrated very large forces here. Our tank unit was given the task to go to the Sudovaya Vishnya railway station. Three tanks led the way, including mine and Vasily Ivanovich’s. Having reached the station, our three cars found themselves behind enemy lines. Here I saw the true heroism and high skill of my friend. He rushed like a meteor in his “thirty-four”, shot and crushed the fascists and their military equipment with their tracks. At the station, our three vehicles detained three railway trains and blocked 13 ammunition warehouses. A lot of military equipment was destroyed. Here the headquarters vehicle was hit and very important documents were seized.
M. G. Niskerov, together with our fellow countryman, participated in the battles for the liberation of Przemysl, which was defended by fascist armored trains. And here Vasily Ivanovich boldly entered into single combat with the armored fortress and put it out of action.
There were many other combat episodes,” said M. G. Niskerov, “after all, the whole war is a great battle that has absorbed thousands of combat episodes. The tankers were very upset about the death of their comrade. Our unit fought its way to Berlin and ended the war in Prague, and everywhere we mercilessly crushed the Nazis. We took revenge for the life of our best friend and comrade in arms, your fellow countryman Vasily Ivanovich Novikov.
“I personally did not meet Vasily Ivanovich,” said V. A. Lisitsyn, “but I knew about his heroic exploits from front-line newspapers. He lived a short but colorful life.
As an eighteen-year-old boy in 1942, L.N. Petrov went to the front. As part of a tank army, he walked along the roads of war from Tula, through Oryol, Belarus and Ukraine to Berlin. He was wounded several times, but each time he returned to the front line. He still carries 16 fragments in his body, as he says, metal cast at the Krupa factories.
The meeting participants very warmly welcomed the message from a member of the army veterans council that in honor of the memory of Vasily Ivanovich Novikov, the council decided to present the workshop staff with a guards badge, which would be given to the best turner of the workshop. The machine tool will be awarded the title of “Guardsman”, and the turner – “Guardsman”. The first to accept this high award was turner Viktor Ivanovich Kitaev. Accepting the award from the hands of a war veteran, he assured the guests and the entire team that the high rank was justified.
On behalf of the workshop staff, a war participant, former tanker, mechanic and thermal operator A.S. Legkov spoke. He congratulated the war veterans on Tankmen's Day and assured them that the workshop staff would never forget the names of those who gave their lives during the terrible years of the Patriotic War.
After the meeting, veteran guardsmen laid fresh flowers at the memorial plaque to Vasily Ivanovich Novikov.
