About Volodia Dubinin

  • Volodia Dubinin (Russian: ?????? ??????? August 29, 1928 – January 4, 1942, in Kerch, Russia) was a Pioneer Hero of the Soviet Union. His full name is Vladimir Nikiforovich Dubinin (in Russian: ???????? ??????????? ???????).
  • Due to his young age, he is predominantly addressed with a short form of his name, "Volodia".
  • He was born to Nikifor Semyonovich Dubinin and Yevdokia Timofeyevna Dubinina. He was one of the group of Soviet partisans who went to live underground in an abandoned quarry near Kerch to resist German invasion during World War II, in the first period of what has come to be known as the Defense of the Adzhimushkay quarry.
  • Since he used to play there as a little boy, his knowledge of the area, tunnels and exits was vast, and proved to be very useful for the resistance. When Germans had withdrawn, Volodia shared in cleaning and rebuilding the city, including removal of land mines.
  • On January 4, 1942 during demining a land mine left by the Germans exploded and lost his life.
