There was no drill at the school as a separate discipline for the students. However, we worked hard on it in preparation for the military parades held in the capital of Belarus, Minsk.

(A parade is a solemn passage of troops or military equipment. It is held, as a rule, on official holidays, celebrations of state and military significance, as well as after the completion of major military exercises.

Parades were held even in the armies of Ancient Egypt, Persia, Rome and other states.

In the Russian army, parades have become widespread since the end of the 18th century.
In the USSR, military parades were held twice a year (with the exception of the period of the Great Patriotic War) - on May 1 (workers' holiday) and November 7 (the day of the Great October Socialist Revolution). Military parades were held not only in the capital of the USSR, the hero city of Moscow. They were necessarily held in hero cities, capitals of the Union republics, cities where the headquarters of military districts, headquarters of the fleets of the USSR Navy, headquarters of large military formations or a large number of military universities were located.

The school for the parade exhibited four company boxes of officers' listeners and three boxes of cadets. The final courses and the first year of cadets did not go to the parade. Each box consisted of 100 people (10x10). At the beginning, the course, more than 160 people, was lined up in one rank by height. The head of the course formed ranks of 10 main people, and several people were allocated to the reserve, as well as to the boxes of other courses, where there were not enough students for a full box. In each rank, the right-flank ones were distinguished. It was believed that they bear a special burden and responsibility. They are the elders in the line. All others should be equal to them. They went to training with a special bandage to make it easier for the authorities, if necessary, to determine which line breaks the formation.

Preparations for the parade were carried out at inopportune hours during the month. Initially, we were gathered at 8 o'clock in the morning on the parade ground of the school or in other suitable places. We were doing the alignment in a line of 10 people. Under the drum we walked with a marching step. The main thing is that the leg is higher and the right-flank alignment is strict. I remembered the drill we went through in secondary school. Then a passage was arranged in front of the command of the school as part of the boxes, led by the head of the course. After each passage by the command of the school, comments were made. They were transmitted to us through a loudspeaker. Those who went well were released. Laggards were driven out additionally. But, be that as it may, at 9 o'clock in the morning we had to be in class. To get to workout at 8 am on time, I had to get up at 5:30 am.

Two weeks before the parade, training for the parade as part of the entire Minsk garrison was held on the parade ground of the military town of Uruchye under the command of the headquarters of the Belarusian Military District (BVO).

(The military town of Uruchye is located in Minsk on the 8th km of the Minsk-Moscow highway. Founded presumably in the 1920s. At first it consisted of one street. Until 1991, 90% of the population were officers of the USSR armed forces, later the Armed forces of the Republic of Belarus, however, after the abolition of the status of the ZVG (closed military town) in 1998, the population became predominantly civilian).

In ZVG Uruchye, located a kilometer from the school, we were brought by trucks and buses at 16 o'clock. The same passes were made by company boxes as part of the Minsk garrison. The school boxes were headed by the head of the school, Lieutenant-General Filatov N.G., and each box was headed by the head of the course. After each passage, the BVO command, responsible for preparing the parade, made comments on each box. We stood most of the time. Because of nothing to do, many played "balda". One names the city, the second should give the new name of the city, starting with the last letter of the previous city. Whoever cannot find the appropriate name is a "bald". Here there is a passionate debate that such a city does not exist or that such a city has already been named. Others tell different stories and stories. You become an involuntary listener. When the people are too "razgaldits", the head of the course calls for order: "Stop talking!". This torment lasts at least one and a half to two hours.

On the eve of the holiday, a general night rehearsal of the military parade is organized on the Central Square of Minsk. In the evening, at the appointed time, we arrive at the school. They put us on trucks or buses and take us to Minsk. On the occasion of the evening coolness of early spring or late autumn, some warm up with alcohol. I remember that Valery Balakar was so “warmed up” that he was insane, especially because his wife left him the day before. All the time, while we were driving to Minsk, he cried into my waistcoat. And I'm extremely tired of it. I, as the leader of the line, had to cover him carefully so that his superiors would not notice him.

Having landed on Internatsionalnaya Street, we ran into the doorways and hurried to empty our bladders. I don't remember anymore if there were any toilets. And it is difficult to envisage them for several hundred people. Then we lined up, followed to the Central Square, crossed by Lenin Avenue, and lined up in the established place. The school boxes were looking at the House of Trade Unions. To our right, on the avenue itself, there was a company box of officers from the BVO headquarters. The rest of the military units of the Minsk garrison from private and non-commissioned officers were lined up to the left of us. A kind of square was formed from Engels Street to the House of Trade Unions. Inside this square, opposite the government rostrum, an orchestra was lined up. In accordance with unwritten military orders, when each commander (the head of the school, the eldest of the commanders lined up for the parade of military units, the commander of the parade) gives a temporary (for some reason called "corporal") a gap of up to 20-30 minutes, then we went to starting line one hour or more before the start of the event. Then there was a long, senseless standing.

Finally, the parade commander arrives at the appointed time. He is the first deputy commander of the BVO. For his meeting, the senior of the commanders of the lined up military units, this is a representative of the officers' box of the BVO headquarters, gives the commands: "EQUAL", "SMIRNO", "Alignment to the right-VO". We all equal in ranks, freeze, turn our heads in the right direction. There is a report on the formation of troops and their readiness for the parade. After the report, the parade commander, who is in an open limousine, gives the command "VOLNO".

Then there is a rather long wait for the chief of the host of the parade. This is the commander of the BVO. During our time they were: Colonel General S. S. Maryakhin (07.1964 - 09.1967) and Colonel General I. M. Tretyak (09.1967 - 06.1976). I met the latter at the Balkhash training ground 20 years later, during the exercise "Zaslon 87". In 1987, after the famous flight and landing of Rust on Red Square, Army General Ivan Moiseevich Tretyak was appointed by M.S. Gorbachev. Commander-in-Chief of the Air Defense Forces.

To meet the host of the parade, the parade commander gives the same commands: "ALWAYS", "SMIRLY", "ALIGNMENT TO RIGHT-IN". All the commanders leading the boxes with subordinate troops again put their hand to the headdress, we freeze at attention, and the orchestra plays the "Counter March". The parade commander, putting his hand to the headdress, drives up to the host of the parade and reports to him: “Comrade Colonel General. The troops of the Minsk garrison for the parade in commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of the Great October Socialist Revolution are built. The parade commander is Lieutenant General Ivanov. "

The host of the parade, having received the report, goes round the troops, greets each military unit separately. In response, we answer with one voice: "We wish you good health, Comrade Colonel General." Since this was done quite energetically, it was sometimes impossible to make out individual words. When he greeted other units, the answer was “GAV-GAV! WOOF WOOF". After that, the commander congratulated us on the holiday. Since this time he was making congratulations energetically, it was impossible to make out what they were congratulating us on. In response to the congratulations, we shouted "URAaaaa!" After the detour of the troops, the host of the parade went to the podium, the orchestra played "Glory", and all the participants in the parade shouted "URAaaaa!" Finally the command "VOLNO" was given. The orchestra played the signal "Listen, everyone."

Perched on the podium, receiving the parade, after playing the signal, he imitated speech, beginning with the word "Comrades!" Then there was silence for the scheduled time of the speech. At the end he said "Hurray!" Participants in the parade answered him three times "URAaaa". The orchestra played hymns. At first, the anthem of the Soviet Union was sung, and then of the Byelorussian SSR. Everyone is at attention, and the commanders put their hand to the headdress. At the end of the anthem, the commanders put their hands down, and we assumed the position "at ease."

Before passing the solemn march, the parade commander gave commands: "SMIRNO", "To the solemn march, by port, at one linear distance, the first company is straight, the rest are direction", "On the shoulder-CHO", "Alignment to the right, step - MARCH" ... All these commands are given at regular intervals so that the parade participants have time to complete everything necessary. All commands were duplicated by our commanders.

At the command "To the solemn march," the commanders of the company boxes are out of order and stand in front of the formation of their boxes. The bannermen and assistants of the school and other military units also come forward and stand at a set distance. The drummers stand 15-20 steps ahead of the head unit. The linemen, assigned to mark the line of passage of the troops with a solemn march, at a run (marching step), occupy places at a distance of 15-20 steps from one another.

At the command of the commanders of the military units "On the shoulder", the banner-bearers raise the battle banners, insert the lower end of the Banner shaft into the sling cup and hold the shaft with their hands.

Having given all the commands, the parade commander moves in his car 30 steps from in front of the commander of the head company box and in front of the drummers. Before reaching one or two linemen from the host of the parade, he puts his hand to the headdress and turns his head in his direction. Having passed the host of the parade, he gets out of the car and stands at the podium.

At the command "March", the lead subunit begins to move with a marching step to the beat of drums. When the lead unit is at a distance of four or five lines from the host of the parade, the orchestra begins to play a march, the drummers in front fall silent. The rest of the units, including us, having turned to the right, we reach the place where the lead unit was, at the command of our head of the course, we turn left, level up and, at the command "Straight", follow the front step with the leading unit. Before one or two linemen reach the parade receiver, the head of the course, who is next in front of our box, puts his hand to the headdress, turns his head towards the parade receiver, and at the same time gives an unidentified command "ONCE". At this command, everyone, except for the right-flank ones, turns their heads towards the host of the parade.

When the last line of our box passes the host of the parade, the same head of the course gives an unidentified command "TWO", lowers his hand from the headdress, and everyone in the ranks simultaneously turns their heads straight. We began to walk with a marching step. The head of the school and the commanders of other formations, having passed the host of the parade, go out of line and stand five steps to the right of the commander of the parade, and, as it were, receive the parade of their subunits.
That's the whole parade. For the sake of passing these fifty-seventy meters, we trained for a month. But for us, the training did not end there.

After passing by the host of the parade, we went down Lenin Avenue, reached Yanka Kupala Street, then along Internatsionalnaya Street and Engels Street, after traveling around the world, we returned to our starting positions. The host of the parade, together with his assistants, the commander of the parade and the commanders of the formations, analyzed the passage of the troops, formulated appropriate comments and instructions. Finally, these comments reached us.

It was necessary to make a second run, taking into account the comments, according to a simplified scheme, starting with the command of the parade commander: "SMIRNO", "To the solemn march, by port, at one linear distance, the first company is straight, the rest are for example," CHO "," Alignment to the right, step - MARSH ". We made the second run. Usually it was reported afterwards that we went well and we could return home.

We reached the waiting cars located on the International Street. Here the formation was disbanded. It was about 3 o'clock in the morning. Those who lived in the hotels of the school on the 9th kilometer returned home by car. Those who lived in the city acted according to the option - "as best they can." Most traveled home on foot or by taxi. I, sometimes, took on this occasion my father's "Zaporozhets" and returned home on it. True, I did not gain much from this. I had to take my friends, the same Zhora Mezhentsev, to their homes, put the car in the garage and run about two kilometers from garage to house. Since classes for tomorrow, or rather, already today, have not been canceled, then by 8:30 we had to be at the school. So we were tempered by Suvorov - "hard in training, easy in battle."

On May 1st or November 7th, everything was repeated, as in a dress rehearsal. But it was already in the afternoon and everything went on without any conventions, with a real speech and the presence on the podium of the leadership of the party and government of the Byelorussian SSR, headed in those years by Pyotr Mironovich Masherov.

We were somehow lucky, I don’t remember that it was raining or snowing during the dress rehearsal or parade. The only bad luck was that on December 30, 1968, the 50th anniversary of the BSSR was celebrated. On the occasion of this significant anniversary, there was a military parade. I remember from this parade that it was attended by Marshal of the Soviet Union, First Deputy Minister of Defense of the USSR Yakubovsky Ivan Ignatievich. Then I somehow did not think about the reason for his presence at the parade. Today, with the help of the Internet, I established this reason. The biography of the marshal eloquently speaks of this.

(Yakubovsky Ivan Ignatievich was born on January 7, 1912 in the village of Zaitsevo, now in the Goretsky district of the Mogilev region (Belarus) into a peasant family.

In the Red Army since 1932. In 1932-1934 he was a cadet of the United Belarusian Military School.

From December 1935 to December 1937 - commander of a tank platoon of the 16th Tank Brigade of the Belarusian Military District.
He took part in military operations in Western Belarus in 1939.
Member of the Great Patriotic War since June 1941. In July-September 1941 - commander of a tank regiment. In January-March 1942 - deputy commander of a tank brigade. From March 1942 to June 1944 - commander of the separate 91st Tank Brigade on the 1st Ukrainian Front.

Units under his command fought on the Western, Southern, Southwestern, Stalingrad, Don, Bryansk, Central, Voronezh and 1st Ukrainian fronts.

By the decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR of January 10, 1944, Colonel Ivan Ignatievich Yakubovsky was awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union with the Order of Lenin and the Gold Star medal for the skillful leadership of military units and the personal courage and heroism shown at the same time.

By the decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR of September 23, 1944, Colonel Yakubovsky Ivan Ignatievich was awarded the second Gold Star medal for the skillful leadership of military units and the personal courage and heroism shown at the same time).

Of course, participating in parades, as shown above, is not an easy affair. But in general, a sense of pride and satisfaction remained about them - they trusted you and you could.
