In one of the fierce battles, the partisan commander Zaslonov died.
From the biography of K. Zaslonov
The famous Soviet partisan was born on January 7, 1910. He grew up in the family of a simple worker. The birthplace of Konstantin Zaslonov is the Tver province, the city of Ostashkov. As far back as the 19th century, Ostashkov was considered one of the most advanced cities in the center of Russia: the country's first hospitals, spiritual and folk schools appeared here.
Kostya Zaslonov received his education at the Nevel labor school, where he studied from 1924 to 1927. My father had a small farm: a mare, a foal and a couple of cows. This was the reason for the "dispossession". The Zaslonov family - father, two sisters and two brothers Konstantin was sent to the North, and Kostya himself had to part with the Komsomol ticket.
The young man continued his education at the railway school. He married and went with his young wife to the East of the country, where he participated in the restoration of the railway. Soon, the Zaslonovs had a daughter. Time was hungry. Konstantin's wife began to get sick, so Zaslonov decided to send his family to Vitebsk, and after that he left the Far East.
Since the late 30s, Zaslonov led the work of the engine depot in Orsha.
