https://kuzrab.ru/rubriki/obshestvo/pamyatnik-stalinu-v-novokuzneczke-net/ No one knew that almost on the same day the whole family (seven people) of Vasily Andreevich Tashkeev, our father's younger brother, was sent into exile from the neighboring village of Karagayskoye to the North near Salekhard. Vasily was 25 years old, his wife Elizaveta was 23. They lived in the same house with their father and mother, and they already had three children: daughters Anna (5 years old), Claudia (2 years old) and Alexandra (7 months) - just a baby. Parents (Andrey and Salome) are 66 and 64 years old, respectively. No one was spared. They sent everyone into exile with almost no belongings. The guards sneered: "There, behind the farm, you will be shot. Why do you need some belongings?"
It took several frosty days to get to Magnitogorsk (100 kilometers). Seven-month-old Alexandra was carried in their arms. One day Alexandra died. Lisa wrapped the baby's body in her shawl and simply put it on the snow next to the road (allowed). Let's move on? In Magnitogorsk, everyone was loaded into a cold freight car designed to transport livestock. The car was completely packed with people. There is a lock on the door. Armed guards. Lisa has two very young daughters in her arms.
It took a very long time to get to Tyumen. For many days, the train just stood at the stations. Cold and hunger did their job. One daughter died, a few days later another. The bodies were handed over to the guards at the stations. And the train was going further north. And in March 1930, a train with people, full of grief and tears, stopped - Tyumen. Everyone was unloaded from the wagons and transported to Tobolsk, on the bank of the Irtysh. Now, in order to get to Salekhard (to the place of exile), it was necessary to overcome hundreds of kilometers along the Irtysh, Ob, and Bolshaya Ob rivers. And you can't swim - the rivers are under the ice. They found a way out quickly. Everyone was locked in the Orthodox cathedral, guarded and waited for the rivers to be free of ice. From the stories of grandmother Liza, the special settlers were all locked in the church, where they stayed for several days and relieved themselves there. And the grandmother was waiting for God to punish them for sleeping, eating, emptying themselves in a holy place?
Somewhere in May, we reached the final destination - the confluence of the Kushevat River with the Bolshaya Ob. A completely desolate, uninhabited place - around the taiga. Shuryshkarsky District, Yamalo-Nenets District. The Arctic Circle is 200 kilometers away, and then the Arctic Ocean.
In The family arrived without children. Parents tried to find out where their daughters were buried, but received answers that the burial places were unknown. A year later, Vasily's father, Andrei Danilovich, died of illness and hunger, followed by his mother, Salome Vasilievna. Only Vasily and his wife Elizabeth survived. Vasily worked as a blacksmith at the Salekhard fish canning plant. He worked conscientiously. A certificate of honor, which he was awarded "for the successes achieved in socialist competition in honor of the 33rd anniversary of the October Revolution", has been preserved. At the top of the certificate of honor are portraits of Lenin and Stalin and the patriotic slogan: "Labor in the USSR is a matter of honor, a matter of glory, a matter of valor and heroism."
