But a simple native of the Crimean village of Novy Chuvash became famous not only for this: as a sanitary instructor, she pulled dozens of soldiers and commanders of the Red Army out of bullets and saved them from certain death.
From orderlies to scouts
Before the war, Maria worked in a hospital, and from the first days of the attack she went to the front as a volunteer. There she was first a nurse and medical instructor, received the rank of senior sergeant, and participated in the heroic defense of Sevastopol.
It was then that the girl developed a desire to become a scout, and not just save the lives of our soldiers, but also openly fight the enemy, destroying him to the best of her modest strength and capabilities.
Maria fought quite successfully, more than once she went beyond the front line and brought “tongues”. On June 7, 1942, when the Germans launched another assault on Sevastopol, the reconnaissance company in which Baida served was thrown into battle. We had to fight in conditions of shortage of ammunition.

15 soldiers and one officer
Maria came to her senses in the evening, when the Germans had already broken through the section of the front protected by the reconnaissance company. She and 9 soldiers from her platoon were captured - all wounded or shell-shocked.

When the cartridges ran out, Maria, grabbing the machine gun like a baton, entered into hand-to-hand combat. The battle, which lasted literally a few moments, ended in the unconditional victory of the young scout. 15 enemy soldiers and an officer lay on the ground, and the prisoners, led by Baida, went to their own.
Further combat path

True, she did not have to fight for long - already at the beginning of July the city fell, and Maria was captured. Her ordeal in the camps continued for almost three years. The girl was released only on the eve of Victory Day.

Today it became known about the death of the famous satirist Mikhail Zadornov. The author of the legendary jokes died at the age of 70.
A little more than a year ago, viewers and friends of the writer noticed that Zadornov looked very bad. The assumptions were the most terrible. Mikhail Nikolaevich himself hid for a long time what was happening to him, but in October last year he finally admitted that he had cancer.
As reported by the media, doctors discovered the disease when it was already at the last stage. For a year, Mikhail Zadornov fought for his life: he underwent surgery to remove a brain tumor and underwent chemotherapy. But, unfortunately, the disease too quickly claimed the life of the artist beloved by many.
As the co-chairman of the Union of Russian Patients, neurologist Yan Vlasov, previously told Life, tumors of the central nervous system, head tumors, especially those located in the skull area, very difficult to diagnose. Until the doctor “feels” it himself, there is always the possibility that the diagnosis is actually different.
There are cases when the tumor “hangs” for years, and then one day it grows three times in size, and the person can die, he added.
Most likely, Mikhail Zadornov had glioblastoma - this is the most aggressive type of brain tumor. On average, they live with it from nine months to a year, says oncologist surgeon Konstantin Titov.
As the doctor said, unfortunately, malignant tumors are almost always in the initial stages are asymptomatic. Especially - formations in the brain.
Despite the fact that the brain is a small organ, there is a small free space in it, said Konstantin Titov. - Most often, the tumor grows in it, pushing apart the brain tissue. When headaches, dizziness, blurred vision or gait appear, these are already large and, most likely, inoperable tumors.
The oncologist recalled which stars had or have the same disease: singer Zhanna Friske, actor Valery Zolotukhin, etc. They also had brain tumors.
Brain tumor is fatal tumor. The patient has virtually no chance of a full recovery. We know that singer Zhanna Friske was treated for a long time with the most modern medications the best specialists Europe and America. Alas, her life could not be saved. Even surgery often does not provide any guarantee - the tumor can grow again. Unfortunately, there is no prevention for this disease. If we can at least guess what causes lung cancer (most often smoking), then in the case of brain oncology it’s just fate,” said Konstantin Titov.
Mikhail Zadornov became famous as a popularly beloved satirist, humorist, actor and member of the Russian Writers' Union. He has more than ten books to his credit, including lyrical and satirical stories, humoresques, essays, travel notes and plays.
