Look at this wonderful scenery!

It’s a view of our village Kuibyshevo from the top of the nearest hill. It’s a big village in the south east part of Rostov region with beautiful landscape, rich history, hospitable and kind people. The village is situated on the left bank of the river Mius. It was founded in the 15-th century by the local landowner Dmitry Martynovich Martynov and was called after his name. In 1777 the village was recalled. It got the name “Golodayevka”. The folk legend says that Katherine the second, the Russian tsaritsa, came here. She had seen how poor the people were it was little to eat. Katherine gave the village so humorous name “Golodayevka”. Up to 1935 it was Golodayevka. Since that time the village has been calling Kujbyshevo in honor of glorious revolutionaries Valerian and Nikolay Kujbyshevy. More than five thousand people live here.

The land of Kujbyshevo gave our country a great son Andrey Antonovich Grechko: twice a hero of the Soviet Union, Marshal, the Minister of defence from 1967 to 1976.

Everything began when at the end of the 19 century the family moved to a small house not far from the river Dedova. Later the father built a new house. The father was a teacher at a local school. The mother was a housewife. The family was big. On the 17th of October, Andrey, the thirteenth child was born. All children of their family got worthy education.

Military way of A.A. Grechko began from the severe 1919 year. Who could predict, that the young straight soldier will be Marshal of the Soviet Union! He had gone through the war from the very beginning up to the end. He became a mature commander. During the Great Patriotic War Andrey Antonovich had released the Ukraine, North Caucasus, Checkoslovakiya, Poland.

Andrey Antonovich was awarded by five orders of Lenin, three orders of the Red Banner, two orders of Suvorov and many other orders and medals.

«Trains and ships were calling him

But wherever he lived

He always looked for the way that

Led him to Kuibyshevo-lovely village,

His small Motherland.» - said Sergey Parkhomenko, the local poet.

He had never forgotten his village, always helped it, when he could.

In 1946 Andrey Antonovich sent military column of fifty coats/wagons, one hundred horses and some lorries for the reconstruction of agriculture in the village.

In 1958, the hero of the Soviet of Union came to the village together with the Head of our state Nikita Sergeyevich Khruschyov.

The next meeting with him was in 1961. On the fourth of June he met with the countrymen last time. He said “I’m proud, that I’m your countryman”.

While being Marshall of the Soviet Union he continued to help us. A new three storied school was built, the roads were made. There were his favourite places in the forest and on the hill. He has remembered them since his childhood and each time when he came back home, he visited them.

He passed through difficulties with pride and wisdom.

The Minister, general and twice a hero.

But no, high titles didn’t round his head.

He always hurried up to his countrymen…

All people of our village, young and old, know the name of Andrey Antonovich and are proud of him.

The local collective farm was called after his name. The memorial boards were put up on school and collective farm. In front of school there is a monument to A.A. Grechko. People often bring flowers to it. Everyone can read and learn about his life at the school museum.

On the 17-th of October 2013, we celebrated the 110-th anniversary of his birthday. It was great holiday. The exhibition of flowers and garlands was organized at school. The presentation about his life and activity was shown to all students, their parents and teachers.

Later, a meeting was held in front of the monument to A. A. Grechko.
