Ivan Lakeev was born in the village of Sloboda, Kaluga province on February 23, 1908. After moving to Leningrad, he studied at the evening department of the Electromechanical Institute and worked as a port loader.

After being drafted into the army, he graduated from the military theoretical school of pilots and the 14th Engels Military Pilot School here, and was sent to serve in the 107th squadron in the 83rd air brigade of the BelVO.

He participated in the war in Spain from November 1936 to mid-August 1937 on an I-16 fighter, first as a flight commander, then as a squadron commander. Has two wounds. Over 312 sorties, he won 12 victories personally in 50 air battles, and shot down another 16 enemy aircraft as part of a group.

The title of Hero of the Soviet Union (Gold Star medal number 63) was awarded to Lakeev on November 13, 1937.

Together with other pilots who had experience fighting in Spain, he was sent to strengthen aviation units during the Soviet-Japanese military conflict at Khalkhin Gol. He took a direct part in the battles, although he held the high position of deputy commander of fighter aviation in the 1st Army Group. During the largest air battle in military history at that time, on June 22, 1939, he personally shot down two Japanese planes. Awarded the Order of the Mongolian government "For Military Valor".

In the same year, he took part in the liberation of Western Ukraine, as well as Western Belarus, in the “winter war” with the White Finns. Already at the rank of major general of aviation, he was the leader of the aerobatic team at the air parade in Tushino. He had very great authority in the country's Air Force and was seriously concerned about how things were going in domestic aviation. Despite frequent meetings with Stalin at Kremlin receptions, he miraculously did not suffer before the Great Patriotic War and at the very beginning of it from mass repressions that affected almost the entire military leadership. He took part in the counter-offensive near Tikhvin and Volkhov, near Rostov-on-Don. From April 1943 years he headed the 235th Stalingrad Fighter Aviation Division, commanding it until the end of the war. Lakeev's division was involved in the liberation of Kyiv, repelling enemy counterattacks in the Carpathian region, and in the Lviv-Sandomierz offensive operation. Under the leadership of Ivan Alekseevich, the unit became a guards unit, participated in the liberation of Czechoslovakia, the last combat operation was the Moravian-Ostravian operation. In total, during Lakeev’s command, the pilots of his division destroyed 910 enemy aircraft in the sky and on the ground, and the Hero himself was awarded the gratitude of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief 14 times order! Lakeev personally shot down 16 planes during the Great Patriotic War and won another 16 victories in the group.

Before studying at the Military Academy of the General Staff, he headed a fighter aviation division in a military district in Central Asia. He retired to the reserve with the rank of major general of aviation in 1955.

The communist Lakeev had unlimited faith in General Secretary I.V. Stalin and had absolutely no idea how the leader’s authority was created. The young commander sent a letter of gratitude to Stalin for his high assessment...

The communist Lakeev had unlimited faith in General Secretary I.V. Stalin and had absolutely no idea how the leader’s authority was created. The young commander sent a letter of gratitude to Stalin for his high appreciation of his military deeds.

At that time, I. A. Lakeev was already in command of an aviation regiment. This unit participated in air festivals three times a year. Lakeev headed the “red five” I-16 fighters, which included Heroes of the Soviet Union and order bearers. They opened air parades on Red Square, and in Tushino they demonstrated aerobatics in a group flight.

Soon Lakeev was elected deputy of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR. He often had to attend ceremonial receptions in the Kremlin and personally meet with Stalin.

In May 1939, in the skies of Mongolia, our pilots suffered significant losses in battles with the Japanese. Moscow decided to send there commanders with combat experience to transfer it to the Trans-Baikal pilots. Lakeev turned out to be a tireless teacher. During daylight hours, he conducted up to 15 training air battles daily, followed by their analysis. And so on June 22, 1939, an air battle of unprecedented scale unfolded over Khalkhin-Gol. The Japanese brought 120 aircraft into battle. From the Soviet side, 95 fighters took off. The battle was fierce. During it, the Japanese lost about 15 aircraft. Our losses are 14 combat vehicles. At the same time, Lakeev shot down 2 enemy fighters. This was the first major victory of our pilots in the skies of Mongolia.

Lakeev proved himself not only to be a good air fighter, but also a brave commander and innovator. At his suggestion, the first guidance point in the history of our military aviation was organized on Mount Khamar-daba.

Aviation Major General B. A. Smirnov recalls:

“...In the evening, Colonel Ivan Alekseevich Lakeev arrived at our camp from the command observation post. He had a difficult mission in Mongolia. As soon as major air battles began, the aviation representative had to go to Hamar-Daba, where the ground forces command post was located.

It is unlikely that any of us would express a desire to be at the side of such a strict commander as Zhukov. What was it worth to withstand the questions of many ground commanders below Zhukov’s rank: “Where are our planes, why are they not in the air?”

Meanwhile, dozens of planes were fighting in the sky, but you had to be able to see them. True, Lakeev’s plane was parked right there, not far from the command post, and he often managed to take off in difficult moments and take part in air combat. However, his main concern was coordinating the actions of air groups in the air. In the absence of radio guidance stations, it was extremely difficult to carry out this task ... "

In Mongolia, Major I. A. Lakeev first commanded the air regiment of the 1st Army Group, then became deputy commander of fighter aviation of the 1st Army Group directly on the battlefield. He personally participated in air battles and shot down several Japanese planes.

For distinction in these battles he was awarded the third Order of the Red Banner (08/29/1939) and the Mongolian Order of the Red Banner of Battle, 1st degree (08/18/1939).

Soon Lakeev had the opportunity to participate in the campaign of the Red Army troops in Western Ukraine, where on September 19, 1939 he took measures to expel the German landing force that landed at the Lvov airfield. The Soviet-Finnish War did not pass him by either. At that time, the young talented aviator was appreciated.

Since April 1940, Colonel I. A. Lakeev has been deputy head of the flight technical inspection of the 1st Directorate of the Main Directorate of the Red Army Air Force. On June 4, 1940, he was awarded the rank of Major General of Aviation. Since July 1940 - Deputy Chief Inspector of the Red Army Air Force for fighter aircraft. In April 1941, he was removed from his post “for shortcomings in his work” and appointed with demotion as deputy commander of the 14th mixed aviation division in Lutsk.

I. A. Lakeev could rarely be found in his office. He was constantly in the units, checking their combat readiness, disseminating combat experience and developing recommendations on the ground. Lakeev was in a hurry, he was firmly convinced that the war with Nazi Germany would begin very soon.

The experience of the war in Spain showed that fighters must fight as part of a pair of leader and follower, sword and shield. Lakeev emphasized that the flight altitude for a fighter is the key to victory, that every attack must be unexpected for the enemy, and surprise is achieved by a bold maneuver and an unexpected technique in battle. But this precious experience was not widely used and remained the property of a limited circle of military pilots. Lakeev was also concerned about the armament of the fighters. Due to the excessive rate of fire of the ShKAS, the ammunition was consumed too quickly. These weapons often failed due to the thickening of the lubricant at high altitudes. And in general, as Lakeev believed, in modern air combat, machine guns are not powerful enough weapons. So in Spain, in the battles near Brunete, the Nazis used cannon Me-109s for the first time, and our “Donkeys” and I-15s had a hard time.

There were many other problems. New brands of aircraft began to arrive in fighter units - MiG-3, LaGG-3 and Yak-1. The regiments accepted the new equipment with glee. But it was too early to rejoice. While inspecting the units, Lakeev became convinced of major miscalculations in the retraining of personnel. At a minimum, each pilot on the new equipment was given 8 hours of export flights. But this requirement was not met. For the most part, the pilots did not know the new material well and did not know how to shoot accurately. On these issues, Lakeev constantly clashed with the head of combat training of the Air Force, Lieutenant General of Aviation Zhigarev.

The accelerated production of new aircraft led to the fact that in combat units, for every 1000 new aircraft, 115 were received with various defects and factory defects. The accident rate has increased sharply, often associated with the death of pilots. New fighters had a higher landing speed, and this required lengthening the runways at airfields. Their construction was under the jurisdiction of the NKVD and, by order of Beria, began everywhere simultaneously. All combat aircraft in the western military districts were concentrated at 66 border airfields. Such a crowding of aircraft near the border was clearly unacceptable.

Lakeev often had to visit the regiments of the 9th Mixed Aviation Division, commanded by his friend in Spain, Hero of the Soviet Union, 29-year-old Major General of Aviation S.A. Chernykh. The airfields of his division in Tarnowo, Dolbunowo and Wysokie Mazowiecki were located only within 10 - 40 kilometers from the state border. At the same time, the division had more than 400 combat aircraft.

But this seemingly unjustified proximity of airfields near the border corresponded to the instructions of the high command: “If we are attacked, we will meet the enemy with a blow of such force that we will immediately cross into enemy territory.” . Lakeev saw with alarm how widely the sentiments of easy victory were propagated in the books “First Strike”, “In the East”, in the film “If Tomorrow is War”...

German planes intensified aerial reconnaissance. From January 1941 until the start of the attack on the Soviet Union, they violated our border 324 times. Blindly believing in the power of the treaty with Germany and relying in everything on the opinion of Beria and the General Staff, Stalin, through the People's Commissar of Defense, Marshal Timoshenko, ordered the Red Army troops to stop firing at the violating aircraft and not to use Soviet fighters to detain them. Feeling complete impunity, German pilots flew 100 - 150 kilometers deep into our territory.

Lakeev stubbornly argued to the higher military leadership that the current situation was unacceptable, protested, argued...

He spoke especially harshly in the presence of Stalin at a government meeting in mid-April 1941. And a few days later, Ivan Alekseevich was introduced to a humiliating order that read: “For the purpose of better official use, Major General of Aviation I. A. Lakeev is to be appointed deputy commander of the 14th mixed aviation division based in the city of Lutsk with a salary...”

What was striking was not that the salary became 4 times less, but that they didn’t even entrust the division. In addition, he was appointed deputy to a boss who was well known to him and disrespected by many.

In the first days of the war, Ivan Alekseevich later recalled, we were defeated. Fascist aviation, as one would expect, seized absolute dominance of the air. Stalin, in order to remain infallible in the eyes of the military and the entire Soviet people, urgently needed to shift his guilt onto the heads of others. This is how aviation generals Yakov Smushkevich, Pavel Rychagov, Fyodor Arzhenukhin, Evgeny Ptukhin, Ivan Proskurov, Sergei Chernykh and many other true patriots died.

What were the costs of the miscalculations of the top leadership, hypnotized by the instructions of the “great” leader? In just one day, June 22, we lost about 1,200 combat aircraft! In the direction of the main fascist attack on the airfields of the Western Special Military District, after the first raid, more than half of all aircraft stationed here were lost. So, in the division of General S. Chernykh, after the first raid of fascist aviation, out of 409 aircraft, only 62 remained. Such was the price of general carelessness.

In the most difficult trials, General I. Lakeev retained his human dignity, faith in our victory and the triumph of justice. No matter what happened, he knew that he would fight for his Soviet Motherland in any conditions, even just as an ordinary shooter with a rifle in his hands.

Fighter I-16 type 10 of General I. A. Lakeev. June 1941.

General I. A. Lakeev was destined for a long combat life. Having entered the battle in the early morning of June 22, 1941, near the city of Kovel, he went through the entire war until the Victory. But his life was far from simple.

In the first days of the war, his division came under attack from German aviation and suffered heavy losses, but by showing personal courage and composure, Lakeev managed to organize a rebuff to the enemy with the surviving aircraft. However, due to heavy losses, he was demoted again and from the fall of 1941 to March 1943, with the rank of General, he commanded the 524th Fighter Aviation Regiment. As a regiment commander, he fought on the Volkhov Front, then the regiment was transferred to the Southern Front.

Since April 1943, he commanded the 235th Fighter Aviation Division of the 2nd Air Army. Participated in counterattacks near Volkhov and Tikhvin. Then he fought near Rostov-on-Don.

In August 1944, for the courage and valor of the personnel, for high combat results, the division received the Guards Banner and became known as the 15th Guards IAD. The division was then transferred to the 8th Air Army.

Commanding this division, Lakeev fought on the Kursk Bulge, participated in the liberation of Kyiv, Stanislav and Lvov, and fought in the skies of Hungary, Poland, and Germany. He ended the war in Czechoslovakia, having 1 more personal and 2 group victories.

General I. Lakeev gives instructions to the pilots

While remaining an excellent air fighter, Lakeev also established himself as an excellent commander. Subsequently, he was rightfully awarded the orders of Suvorov, Kutuzov and Bogdan Khmelnitsky. With all this, only after the Battle of Kursk he received his first military award during the entire war - the medal “For Military Merit”. But this is not what we are talking about now, not about the difficult biography of the honored military leader. For many years, a persistent heaviness remained in Ivan Alekseevich’s heart, as if he could have done more, but did not...

Having gone through the fire of air battles in the Kuban, Kursk Bulge, and battles for the liberation of Ukraine during the Great Patriotic War, he honorably carried the high title of warrior-liberator.

The name of General I. A. Lakeev was mentioned 14 times among the most distinguished commanders in battle. By the end of the war, the pilots of his division destroyed 910 enemy aircraft.

Ivan Alekseevich himself, according to some sources, made more than 500 successful combat missions. Data on the number of enemy aircraft shot down by him in various sources vary significantly. Most often the following are cited: 16 personally and more than 20 in a group (taking into account the battles in the skies of Spain and Khalkhin - Gol).

For participation in the Great Patriotic War he was awarded the orders: Suvorov 2nd degree, Kutuzov 2nd degree (05/29/1944), Bogdan Khmelnitsky 1st degree (01/10/1944), Patriotic degree 1st degree, 4 medals, 2 foreign orders.

After the end of the war, Ivan Alekseevich remained in the Air Force service for a long time. Commanded a fighter aviation division in Central Asia. In 1952 he graduated from the Military Academy of the General Staff and served as deputy commander of the 22nd Air Army.

For impeccable service he was awarded the Order of the Red Banner and the Red Star, and the medal “30 Years of the Soviet Army and Navy” (02/22/1948). In 1955, he retired to the reserves with the rank of major general.

Even after leaving the reserve, Lakeev often had to visit military units where he was known and loved. Finishing his story, he often addressed the officers and soldiers with the words:

Always remember that you are destined by history itself to continue the work of the older generation of defenders of the Fatherland. This requires a lot.

In recent years he lived in Moscow. He died on August 15, 1990, and was buried at Troekurovskoye Cemetery.
