Meet Nikolai Tomin

Nikolai Mikhailovich Tomin has been doing what he loves all his adult life: playing the button accordion (and accordion), rehearsing and giving concerts with his amateur groups, writing music and poetry - this is his hobby, work, and leisure time.
Back in the 60s, when instrumental ensembles were just becoming fashionable, Nikolai Tomin, masterfully playing the button accordion, organized a similar group and became its musical leader. The male vocal ensemble, in which Nikolai Mikhailovich sang for ten years, brought together many talents from the city of Kuibyshev.
In the 70s, on the basis of a chemical plant, he created a choir of chemical industry workers, which clearly declared itself, regularly receiving the title of laureate at industry competitions.
And in the 80s, Nikolai Mikhailovich created another powerful group - the “Teacher” choir at the house of educators, which received the title “People's amateur group” and successfully toured not only in the regions of the region, winning the titles of laureates of regional festivals and art shows amateur performances, but also throughout the country.
Since the 90s of the last century, his creative activity has been inextricably linked with the Palace of Culture. V.V. Kuibysheva. His groups, meeting with the audience, offer their attention entire performances of Russian folk and popular pop songs, decorated with appropriate scenery and costumes.
As a composer and poet, Nikolai Tomin is touched and inspired to write by eternal human values: love, loyalty, patriotism, memory, and inspired by female images. However, the maestro himself considers good poetry to be the main motivation for creativity. For example, he loves Rasul Gamzatov very much and has written a dozen songs based on his poems. He also successfully collaborates with poets of the region: K. Yushkevich, V. Kvetinsky (Kuibyshev), N. Nemaltseva, T. Kryshtaleva (Ubinskoye village), L. Boykov (Barabinsk), as well as with Kuibyshevsky’s “Memory Salon” district.
Nikolai Mikhailovich wrote many patriotic songs based on poems by local poets: “The Ballad of Ermak”, “Siberian Waltz”, “Memory” and many others; he is very interested in historical events and facts.
In life, he is a closed person, rather a contemplative, loves solitude, silence, loves to watch the movement of celestial bodies...
He is attracted by everything unknown, he reads a lot. For example, I would love to re-read again Anna Antonovskaya’s six-volume historical epic novel “The Great Mouravi,” which she created over the course of almost forty years. The image of the famous hero of Georgian history, Georgiy Saakadze, recreated by the author, like almost all other characters, are not fictional, but very real persons. The author of the novel not only studied with scientific precision the old parchments stored in former monasteries, but also delved deeply into the soul of this beautiful and brave people. It was from here that Nikolai Mikhailovich’s sincere love for Georgian culture arose, which was reflected in music and song.
Nikolai Mikhailovich Tomin is the namesake of N.M. Kudrin. They knew each other personally and spent many hours talking. The work of Nikolai Kudrin is an example to follow for Nikolai Tomin. Therefore, for almost all ten years N. M. Tomin and his teams have been actively participating in the Interregional competition for the creative prize named after. N. M. Kudrina. The folk song ensemble “Siberian Springs” and its leader, as an amateur composer and performer, are four times (2000, 2003, 2006, 2007) laureates in the “Vocal Ensemble” and “Author’s Song” categories.
Over the years of his creative activity, Nikolai Mikhailovich was awarded a diploma from the regional administration for his great contribution to the development of folk art in the Novosibirsk region; diploma from the Culture Committee and the regional center of folk art of the Altai Territory for artistic value in the creation of a domestic song repertoire.
In 2003, Nikolai Mikhailovich became a laureate of the International Festival-Competition dedicated to the work of I. I. Malanin, and was awarded a letter of gratitude from the Department of Culture of the Novosibirsk Region for his dedication and fidelity to the traditions of folk culture.
N. M. Tomin is the author of projects to create a center of Cossack culture “Kainsky Pass” and “Our Native Kainsk” for the 285th anniversary of the city of Kuibyshev.
For his many years of creative activity, Nikolai Mikhailovich Tomin and his ensemble “Siberian Springs” were included in the “Golden Book of Culture of the Novosibirsk Region” in the categories: “Loyalty to Vocation” and “Soul of the People”.

Krivorutsky Petr (Leonid) Moiseevich (1920 - 1989), sculptor, member of the USSR Union of Artists, participant in the Great Patriotic War. In 1959-1960 he worked on a monumental bust of Civil War participant N.D. Tomin. He visited the places where Tomin lived: in 1959 he made a trip to the Southern Urals, visited Chelyabinsk, Troitsk, Kurtamysh (Kurgan region). He met with the widow of the revolutionary A.I. Tomina, local historian P. Z. Kochegin, as well as Tomin’s colleagues who lived in Chelyabinsk; got acquainted with materials in museums and party archives. Krivorutsky created over 800 works: monuments, decorative park sculptures, tombstones, easel portraits.

Nikolai Dmitrievich Tomin (December 4 (16), 1886, the village of Kazachy Kocherdyk, the village of Ust-Uyskaya, Ust-Uyskaya volost, Chelyabinsk district, Orenburg province, Russian Empire (now the village of Kazak-Kocherdyk, Tselinny district, Kurgan region), - August 12, 1924, Karagach village, Bukhara People's Soviet Republic (now Tugarak jamoat, Vose district, Khatlon region, Tajikistan)) - Soviet military leader, participant in the Civil War.

Born into a Cossack family and was the eldest of four children. He managed to finish three classes of school, but after the death of his father he was forced to leave it and go to work at the Harinas creamery. Two years later, Nikolai’s mother remarried, and the family’s property was divided. Nikolai went to Kurtamysh, where he began working for the merchant Zavyalov as an errand boy, and in the fall of 1905 as a clerk. In December, he met political exiles father and son Drugov and began to participate in illegal activities. In June 1906 he began keeping a diary, which he continued until the last days of his life. Soon he came under secret police surveillance. At the beginning of 1907, on behalf of the exiles, he organized a union of clerks in Kurtamysh. In 1910, he married Anna Klopova, whom he had previously met for three years. In March 1911, their son Alexander was born, who died three months later. In July 1914 he was drafted into the army and was soon sent to the front as part of the 1st Orenburg Cossack Division.

By the time of the February Revolution of 1917, he had risen to the rank of junior constable and was awarded the St. George Medal of the 4th degree and the Cross of St. George of the 3rd and 4th degrees. Some time later he was elected chairman of the division's soldiers' committee, and after the October Revolution - head of the division. Under his leadership, at the end of December the division arrived in Lyubertsy and went over to the side of Soviet power. In January 1918, together with the 11th and 12th regiments of the division, he arrived in Troitsk, where the regiments were disbanded, and Tomin at the end of February was elected chief of staff of the district troops and chairman of the Cossack section of the Troitsk executive committee. In March he was appointed commander of the district troops. In June, he was elected commander of the first hundred of the 1st Revolutionary Orenburg Socialist Regiment named after Stepan Razin.

After parts of the Reds were forced to leave Troitsk, Tomin was elected commander of the Troitsk detachment, which on June 22 came to Verkhneuralsk and joined Ivan Kashirin’s detachment. The Reds' attempt to recapture Troitsk failed, after which they retreated to Beloretsk. There, all available units were united into the Consolidated Ural Detachment under the command of Nikolai Kashirin (after his injury, Vasily Blucher became commander), in which Tomin’s Trinity detachment participated in the campaign that ended on September 12, 1918. After the end of the campaign, Tomin was awarded a gold watch with the inscription “To the honest warrior of the Red Army N.D. Tomin. All-Russian Central Executive Committee. 1918", and the Trinity detachment was transformed into the second brigade of the 30th Infantry Division. Soon, under the 3rd Army of the Eastern Front, on the initiative of Tomin, a combined cavalry detachment was formed, the command of which was entrusted to him. The detachment took part in the liberation of Irbit and Kurgan from the White Guard troops. After the liberation of Kurgan, the detachment was disbanded, and Tomin was appointed head of the 10th Cavalry Division as part of the 3rd Cavalry Corps.

In June 1920, the division was transferred to the Western Front and, during battles with the Poles, occupied cities such as Sventsyany, Vilna, and Grodno. On the day of the capture of Mlava, Tomin was awarded the Order of the Red Banner.

After the defeat near Warsaw, the 3rd Cavalry Corps of G.D. Guy, which included Tomin’s division, was interned in Germany. After some time, the German command began to separate units and send them deep into Germany, and Tomin, together with his orderly, escaped from the train. Along the way, they were joined by groups of Red Army soldiers who were also making their way home, and on September 17, a detachment of up to 300 people, led by Tomin, crossed the Lithuanian-Soviet border. On October 10, Tomin became the head of the 10th Kuban Cavalry Division, which soon took part in battles against the troops of Stanislav Balakhovich. At the end of December, he took command of the 2nd Cavalry Corps, which until the end of April 1921 carried out the task of eliminating banditry in the Kuban. In May - July he commanded the 15th Siberian Cavalry Division, stationed in Kozlov and participating in the suppression of the Antonov rebellion.

“Head of the fifteenth Siberian Cavalry Division, Comrade. During his time commanding the division, Tomin established himself as an outstanding cavalry commander. For energetic work, skillful leadership and personal participation in operations to suppress and destroy the gangs of Loban, Bodov and Karas, I award the head of the fifteenth Siberian Cavalry Division, Comrade. Tomina with a gold watch."
— From the order of the commander of the troops of the Tambov province M.N. Tukhachevsky

At the request of V.K. Blucher, who commanded the People's Revolutionary Army of the Far Eastern Republic at that time, the RVS seconded Tomin to the Far East, where he took command of the Transbaikal Group of Forces as part of the 1st Chita Rifle Brigade and a separate Troitsko-Savsky Cavalry Regiment. On the way to the front line, Blucher entrusted Tomin with the command of the Insk group, as well as the preparation of the troops of the entire front for the offensive. Units under the command of Tomin took part in the capture of Volochaevka and Khabarovsk.

After leave, on September 2, 1922, he began to command the 6th separate Altai Cavalry Brigade, located in Semipalatinsk. In March 1923, dreaming of going into agriculture, he asked for demobilization, but received a categorical refusal and was transferred to Biysk to command the 4th Cavalry Brigade. At the end of August he was sent to study.

“Comrade During their joint service, Tomin showed himself to be an extremely energetic and persistent worker. Although he does not have a military education, during his service in responsible positions he acquired extensive practical experience. Systematic and prudent in his work. He grasps the situation correctly and quickly. Direct, he does not hesitate to tell the truth to his face, which often causes an unkind attitude towards him. Painfully proud, but he admits to his mistakes. He is strict with his subordinates, but fair, a good comrade. Works to expand both military and general horizons. The lack of general education qualifications is compensated by natural intelligence. Sober and impeccably honest. Dedicated to the cause of the revolution. Politically well developed. My health is good. As a commander for the Red Army he is extremely valuable. It is advisable to travel to the Military Academic Courses for senior commanders of the Red Army to gain theoretical knowledge. Corresponds to the position held.” — Komkor-military commissar 10 Gailit.

However, in April 1924, he was re-appointed commander of the 6th Separate Altai Cavalry Brigade, and therefore had to leave the course. The brigade was sent to the Bukhara People's Soviet Republic to fight the Basmachi. On August 12, 1924, Tomin was mortally wounded in a battle with the Basmachi.

Monuments to Tomin were erected in Kurtamysh, Troitsk, Kulyab, the collective farm named after brigade commander Tomin in the Vose region of the Tajik SSR, and an obelisk was erected to him in Tomin’s native village. The local history museum in Kurtamysh, as well as the railway station, streets, parks and schools are named after Tomin.
