Историческая справка
The monument to the Tatar poet and hero of the Soviet Union Musa Jalil is a gift to St. Petersburg from the Republic of Tatarstan. The monument was unveiled in a public garden at the intersection of Sredny prospekt and Gavanskaya ulitsa on 19 May 2011. During the Great Patriotic War Musa Jalil, a senior political instructor, served as a military correspondent of the “Valour” (“Otvaga”) newspaper at the Leningrad and Volkhov fronts. In 1942, during the Lyuban offensive operation near the village of Myasnoy Bor Musa Jalil was seriously wounded in the chest and then captured and sent to a concentration camp. Having been drafted to “Idel-Ural” Volga-Tatar Legion created by the Germans, Musa Jalil got involved with an underground organisation that helped prisoners of war escape. Since Jalil was given the task of conducting cultural and educational activities, he had the opportunity to visit POW camps. During his visits he set up conspiracy ties and recruited new members for the organisation by disguising it as a selection of amateur artists for the chapel choir. After the conspiracy was exposed, the poet was executed on a guillotine at Plötzensee Prison in Berlin on 25 August 1944. The collection of poems “Moabit Notebook” was finished in prison right before the poet’s execution. The notebook was smuggled out of Moabit Prison by a Belgian Resistance member André Timmermans who had been sharing the cell with Jalil. Timmermans handed the poems over to the Soviet Consulate in Brussels, and later they ended up with the poet Konstantin Simonov. Simonov arranged for translation of the poems and published an article on the literary work and conspiracy group of Jalil, which led to the poet’s subsequent rehabilitation and national recognition.
