The biography of Petka

No less interest is the death of his guarantee.

The death of Peter Isaev also remains one of the unsolved mysteries of Russian history. According to one version, Petka's life broke off in the same place as the life of Chapaev, on the banks of the Ural River. But this is far from the only assumption. Prior to this historical acquaintance, Isaev managed to participate in the First World War and rush in the ranks of the tsarist army to the senior non-commissioned officer of the musical team.

At the front, Peter Semenovich was wounded, as a result of which he was forced to return to his native Korneevka. At home, Isaev did not sit back: in the spring of the year he gathered a detachment of volunteers to suppress the anti -Bolshevik uprising. The same group took part in the suppression of the kulak rebellion in Semenovka. Isaev did not immediately become a lieutenant at Chapaev.

If you believe Nikolai Khlebnikov, Peter Evlampyev and Yakov Volodykhin, the authors of the book “Legendary Chapaevskaya”, he first visited the posts of the squadron commander, the head of the 1st Brigade of the Nikolaev regiments, the commander of the communications battalion at the 2nd Nikolaev division. And only in February, Peter Isaev was appointed orderly Vasily Chapaev. However, Sergey Mazurkevich, the author of the book “A Collection of Treaties”, claims that the orderly of Chapaev, Isaev was never, and at the time of the death of the commander was precisely the lieutenant for particularly important matters.

They died on one day you can add that in the position of lieutenant Peter Isaev was not only at the time of the death of Vasily Chapaev, but also his own. The fact is that one of the most plausible versions says that Isaev’s life was cut off on the banks of the Ural River, that is, where, according to assumptions, Chapaev could be killed. According to V.

Sklyarenko, I. Rudichev and V. Syadro in the publication “50 famous mysteries of the history of the twentieth century”, in September, when Chapaev and Isaev were in Libishchensk. The situation, according to intelligence, was calm. Nevertheless, at night the village was attacked from three sides at once. Chapaev was clamped by the enemy on the banks of the Urals.

Presumably, further starting was crossed across the river, but on the way it bleeding and died. As for Peter Isaev, he did not die at all, covering Chapaev with his body, as shown in the picture of the year of the Vasilyev brothers “Chapaev”. At least Dmitry Furmanov, the author of the publication "Lbitsy Drama", claims that everything was different. Furmanov believes that Isaev, realizing that everything was over, released 6 bullets on enemy, and then made suicide.

According to Furmanov, Isaev’s body Cossacks were sucked with bayonets so that it turned into a shapeless piece of meat. Other versions are another version of the death of Peter Isaeva looks no less tragic and, like the previous one, is associated with suicide. This assumption mentions in his book “Love all the title is submissive” and Oleg Smyslov. According to Smyslov, a year after the death of Vasily Chapaev, Isaev took his life.

According to some reports, Pyotr Semenovich decided on this step on the anniversary of the death of the commander, that is, on September 5. However, not all authors consider this hypothesis of a wealthy. So, Sergei Mazurkevich does not exclude that Isaev could be killed in one of the battles with the whites a month after the death of Vasily Chapaev. To the version that Peter Isaev died in battle, and did not pass voluntarily, the grandchildren of the "Petka" are also inclined.

Their words are given in their book “20 ​​years of unsolved secrets” and Nikolai Nepomnya. The granddaughter of the lieutenant Chapaeva wonders why her grandfather, having shot all the cartridges, did not go to the other side of the river after his commander, but allegedly put his hands on. It is worth noting that there is an assumption that Isaev died in the year from typhoid fever.

In the village of Kundrava, the Chelyabinsk region, the grave of Peter Semenovich was even preserved. However, it is not clear why the descendants of Isaev were silent about this fact for so long.
