In the 1920s the Bogachov family lived in the village of MIKHAYLOVKA (about 100 farms), UDACHINSK village Soviet, province of ACHINSK, SIBERIAN region (today district of BOLSHEULUY, KRASNOYARSK region). On the 14.02.1930 both Fyokla’s father Vassiliy Kireyevich BOGACHOV (1876-1930), native of the province of Mogilyovsk, and her brother Ivan Vassilyevich BOGACHOV (1905-1968), were arrested. They were put into the ACHINSK prison. In the spring of the year 1930 the families were taken away (by rack wagons, via TEGULDYET (today TOMSK region) to a “burned out hamlet” not far from the village of OTROPINO, about 100 km away from TEGULDYET:
Matryona Fyodorovna tried to escape from the exile together with her children, but they were seized and beaten unmercifully. However, the family was allowed to return to MIKHAILOVKA approximately in 1932. Her brother’s family came back to the village later, in 1933.
In accordance with a letter from the regional Department of the Public Prosecutor dated 26.06.1990, V. (K.) BOGACHOV was sentenced upon the decision of a special three-member board (Troyka) of the OGPU plenipotentiary representation of the Siberian Region dated 05.03.1930 on section 58-11 (?!) “for active participation in anti-Soviet kulak groups” and executed in ACHINSK.
I. (V.) BOGACHOV was sentenced to 10 years’ camp detention, but he only served five or six years, presumably for good work and behavior. After his release he did not return home but continued to work for the railroad construction in Komsomolsk on the river Amur. Most of the workers were prisoners. It seems that he also served his sentence there in the BAMLAG. After the war he went away to Kiew.
Father and son BOGACHOV were rehabilitated by the Krasnoyarsk Regional Department of Public Prosecution on the basis of an enactment of the USSR Supreme Soviet Presidium of 16.01.1989.
At the same time as they came for father and son BOGACHOV, they also arrested other farmers in MIKHAILOVKA: Luka SMASHNIKOV (born ~1875) and his sons Semyon (born ~1905) and Pyotr (born ~1908), who they took away from his own wedding, Pavel Titovich KRIVOSHEYEV (born ~1880) and his son Feoktist (born ~1905), who was jailed in the same ACHINSK prison cell as I. (V.) BOGACHOV.
S. (L.) und P. (L.) SMASHNIKOV returned home after having served their sentence in the camp. P. (L.) SMASHNIKOV lived in ACHINSK. L. SMASHNIKOV and the KRO-VOSHEYEVs did not come back home. In those years an inhabitant of one of the neigh-boring villages worked in the prison of ACHINSK as a guard. Later, after having returned to his village, he confirmed that he had witnessed how they had taken away V. (K.) BOGACHOV, P. (T.) KRIVOSHEYEV and Luka SMASHNIKOV for execution, all three at the same time.
Apart from that the two brothers Arkhip and Boris TERESHKOV were deported from MIKHAYLOVKA together with their families, but they were not taken to Teguldyet. These families also returned home after the exile. Both brothers fell at the front. Arkhip TERESHKOV’s children live in Krasnoyarsk.
In 1937 the Soviets arrested the following inhabitants of MIKHAILOVKA: Ivan KHAYEVSKIY, kolkhoz groom (born ~1890), the kolkhoz farmers Dmitriy CHUMAKOV and his brother Timofey CHUMAKOV (both born ~1890). KHAYEVSKIY and Timofey CHUMAKOV did not come back; nothing is known about their fate. Dmitriy CHUMAKOV returned before the war; however, he died soon after.
Late in 1937 they arrested Kuzma Semyonovich PANASSENKO (born in 1913). For a period of one year he was kept in the ACHINSK prison and then released. He lives in Beryosovka, Bolsheuluy district.
In the autumn of 1941 deported Germans and Lithuanians were sent into the region;
Five or six Lithuanian families came to the village of Kumyry. The German men were called up to the labor army at once; none of them returned. Almost all the Lithuanians left the place immediately after the war; only one of them stayed there until the middle of the 1950s.
