An interesting article on 14 zsbr, well, if it's about that brigade.
HOW THE BRIGADE BECAME A DIVISION
14th reserve rifle Cheboksary brigade researchers military history Chuvashia, although not intentionally, but still deprived of their attention. The combat path of the 139th, 140th, 141st, 324th rifle divisions was devoted to many books, brochures and publications in the press. Streets are named in honor of these divisions, museums of military glory have been created. But about the 14th reserve rifle Cheboksary brigade (renamed a division in 1944), rarely in any reference publication on the history of the Armed Forces of the USSR and Russia you will see a couple of lines of information. Yes, and on the Internet there are only a few replicas of its correct name and possible location.
FORGOTTEN BRIGADE
Meanwhile, unlike the divisions listed above, the 14th Rifle Reserve was deployed in the republic not for 2-3 months, but for 2.5 (!) Years. And this is the only military unit in the history of the USSR that bore the official name "Cheboksary". In the 14th dress military uniform not 10-11 thousand recruits, but ten times more.
Let the word “reserve” not confuse readers - many soldiers at the front admitted that they had a much harder time in the reserve regiment. And these difficulties (according to the principle “hard to learn - easy to fight”) then helped the fighters survive and emerge victorious from the most difficult battles.
The gap regarding the 14th reserve rifle brigade, of course, must be filled. And for several years now, the search club "Nabat" of the Cheboksary school No. 57 has been researching the history of this brigade.
ON THE SECOND DAY OF THE WAR
Each state has a carefully developed mobilization plan in case of war with a potential enemy. By 1941, the Soviet Union also had such a plan. In accordance with the mobplan kept in the Tula Regional Military Commissariat, the formation of the 14th reserve rifle brigade and the recruitment of the male population from the regions of the Moscow Military District were started. To clarify: from 1935 until November 1941, our republic was part of the Volga-Ural Military District (and only then became part of the Moscow Military District), therefore, in the initial period of the existence of the brigade, there were not so many of our countrymen in its composition.
Already on the second day of the war, June 23, the 14th reserve rifle brigade was organized as part of the 1st reserve rifle regiment (ZSP), 95th ZSP, 58th ZSP, 7th reserve artillery regiment (ZAP), 47 th separate communications battalion and the 39th separate sapper battalion. The brigade and regiments were deployed in the Tula region in the cities of Belev, Efremov, Tula and in the Tesnitsky camps, Serpukhov, Moscow region.
But the front was fast approaching. And on October 8, 1941, the 14th reserve rifle brigade received an order - the regiments to withdraw (the defense in their place was occupied by regular units of the Red Army). And on October 13, 1941, the relocation of the brigade with all the regiments to the Chuvash ASSR began.
FATHERS-COMMANDERS
The brigade, no doubt, was lucky with the commanders. Usually, it was precisely these soldiers at the front who called “dad”: he would take off three skins during the exercises, but he would do everything to keep the soldier alive in battle.
Let's start, as expected, from the head, from the brigade commander. Iosif Nikitich (so in the service record, he is presented as Nikitovich in award documents) Makarov, a native of the Gdovsky district of the Pskov (now Leningrad) region, managed to serve in the tsarist army as a junior non-commissioned officer of the Life Guards Volyn regiment. Moreover, the soldiers themselves chose him for this position.
In the Civil War, the future division commander fights on the northwestern and southern fronts. In 1918, a 22-year-old guy, a platoon commander of the 1st Gdov Soviet company, was accepted as a member of the CPSU (b). Colonel Makarov met the Great Patriotic War in the position of head of the Novograd-Volyn Infantry School.
In November 1941, an experienced officer was sent to Cheboksary to organize the work of the 14th reserve rifle brigade. Almost two years before his appointment, in July 1943, as the commander of a separate officer brigade of the Moscow Military District, Iosif Nikitich devoted himself to the formation of a full-fledged 14th reserve rifle brigade and the preparation of marching companies for the front.
“... He manages the combat and political training of the brigade well, investing a lot of work and energy in it, hard work and skillful leadership brought the brigade to one of the first places in the district, the marching reinforcements sent by the brigade were prepared to perform combat missions. For the great work done in building up the brigade and the good preparation of reinforcements for the front, Comrade Makarov is worthy of being awarded the Order of the Red Star, ”you can read in the award list for Colonel Makarov. However, this was not the only award of Joseph Makarov - by the end of the war, his chest, along with many medals, was decorated with two Orders of the Red Star and the Order of Lenin.
Colonel Makarov was replaced as commander of the 14th ZSBR by a native Voronezh region Lieutenant Colonel Mikhail Vasilyevich Reshetnikov. And behind him is the Civil War. Before his appointment to the brigade, Lieutenant Colonel Reshetnikov managed to fight the Nazis as commander of the 17th Infantry Regiment of the 32nd Infantry Division, commanded a reserve cadet regiment. After a five-month probationary period, on December 29, 1943, Lieutenant Colonel Reshetnikov was appointed commander of the 14th ZSBr. It was under Reshetnikov that the brigade was given the name "14th Cheboksary Reserve Rifle Brigade". Under him, the brigade was also renamed into a division. In the reserve, Colonel Reshetnikov (he received a promotion in May 1945) was fired under Art. 43 (by age) in May 1947 with decals on shoulder straps and with the right to wear military uniforms.
TO KANASH ON FOOT, TO CHEBOKSARY BY BARGE
The relocation of the 14th ZSBR to Chuvashia was quite unexpected for the republic. The regiments of the brigade had been moving towards Chuvashia for the second week, when the Council of People's Commissars of the republic and the regional committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks finally considered the issue of placing the formation. This was partly due to the fact that until November 25, 1941, Chuvashia was not part of the Moscow Military District.
Of course, for such a small republic as ours, the appearance of a reserve rifle brigade in addition to the emerging military units was a big burden. In order for the reader to understand the quantitative composition of the brigade, I will give only the total number of surnames from the alphabetical book of officers of the brigade - 2988. Of course, they did not serve at the same time, but still. In Cheboksary, to accommodate the brigade (its administration and the 95th ZSP), premises assigned to the emerging 324th rifle division were allocated: the educational building of the agricultural institute and its dormitories on the street. K. Marx and Sovkhoznaya, the building and dormitory of the obstetric school, the educational building and dormitories of the Theater School, the dormitory of the pedagogical school, the building of the Musical College with dormitories, the building and dormitory of the construction technical school, the building of the Law School ...
By the way, it was originally planned to place the 58th reserve rifle regiment in Cheboksary. On October 13-14, 1941, this regiment received an order to redeploy and already on October 23 railway was delivered to Cheboksary. Here the organizational formation of the regiment began with replenishment from among the commanding officers and privates. But the regiment did not manage to gain a foothold in Cheboksary - they had to vacate the already occupied premises for the brigade management that arrived in the city. And the 58th ZSP was redeployed to Kanash and adjacent areas. One can only imagine how the fighters swore as they stomped through the autumn frost to Kanash. “They could have landed there right away,” everyone thought ...
Not without incident, the 95th reserve rifle regiment, which was also part of the brigade, reached the republic. It was formed already on the third day of the war in the city of Efremov, Tula Region, on the basis of the 388th Infantry Regiment of the 172nd Infantry Division, which had gone to the front. On October 12, the regiment, consisting of 13 thousand fighters and commanders with all materiel, began redeployment to the Chuvash Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic along the route Efremov - Zaraisk - Orekhovo-Zuyevo - Vladimir - Gorky.
In Gorky, the regiment was loaded onto barges for further movement along the Volga. But because of the early freeze-up, we had to unload in Vasilsursk and move on on foot through Yadrin. In total, the regiment covered more than 1200 km of the road and only by November 21 was quartered in the villages of the Urmar and Kozlovsky districts.
Only in May 1942, after the formed divisions left for the front and the establishment of a normal life and food for the remaining units, the regiment was redeployed to Cheboksary with accommodation in a field camp on the left bank of the Volga. In May 1944, the regiment was relocated to the city of Kalinin.
STUDY FOR THE FRONT
The structural units of the reserve rifle division were located not only in Cheboksary and Kanash. They were also based in Vurnary, Kugesy, Tsivilsk ... The brigade carried out targeted training of conscripts in various military specialties. The training period was a maximum of six months, then the fighters as part of marching companies were sent to the front.
Already in the first year of the brigade's stay in Chuvashia, more than 170,000 fighters were trained and sent to the front as part of marching reinforcements. In addition, junior lieutenants have been trained in the brigade since 1941. In fact, the brigade also served as an ordinary military school.
The fighters trained by the brigade fought with honor at the front. One of these valiant warriors- Hero Soviet Union Stepan Illarionov from the village of Kiversert-Yanishevo, Vurnarsky district, who became famous as part of the 158th Infantry Regiment of the 51st Infantry Division of the 1st Baltic Front ....

MAIN MILESTONES IN THE HISTORY OF THE 14th RESERVE FIRE BRIGADE
November 5, 1941 "The brigade and regiments launched work at a new location in the Chuvash Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic" (from the Historical Form of the 14th Reserve Rifle Brigade). The basis is the order for the brigade No. 158 dated 10/13/1941.
January 1942 The brigade moved to new states. An additional 359th reserve rifle regiment, 47th separate communications company (transformed from a battalion), a separate chemical intelligence company, and 58th reserve rifle regiment were formed.
