3091 Documented Group of Hero of the Socialist Labor Gartsuev Pavel Nikolaevich. Gartsuev Pavel Nikolaevich, (1905 – 1969), was a career railroad worker. Since he was 14 years old, he was employed at some of the major strategic railroad constructions of the time. With dazzling perseverance, comrade Gartsuev managed to serve in the Red Army, and graduate from Leningrad’s University of Rail Road Transport, all by the mid. 1930’s. During the Russo-Finnish War, he was working as deputy superintendent of near-frontal Kirovskaya Rail-Road. For successfully managing operations of the railroad under hard wartime conditions, by the end of 1939, comrade Gartsuev was bestowed with the Order of Badge of Honor #11383. He assumed full responsibility for the Kirovskaya Rail-Road in 1940. During WWII, he distinguished himself in the same role, for which, by decree of Nov. 5, 1943, “For outstanding merits to the State in the provision of transportation for the front and outstanding achievements in the restoration of the railway economy in difficult wartime conditions” he was bestowed with the title of Hero of the Socialist Labor, with GOLD HSL Star #63 and Order of Lenin #15473. After the war, Gartusev managed North-Caucasus Rail Road, then Moldavian Rail Road, then worked in Czechoslovakia for 3 years in the “USSR-Czech Shared Freight Railroad Cars Park Bureau”. Retired in 1967. Died on Dec. 23, 1969.

Павел Николаевич Гарцуев (4 января 1905 — 23 декабря 1969) — начальник Кировской железной дороги, Герой Социалистического Труда. Родился в городе Санкт-Петербурге в семье железнодорожника. Окончил начальную школу, два года учился в городском училище. В 14 лет пошел работать учеником слесаря в депо Петроград-Пассажирский Московский. На следующий года стал учащимся Политехникума путей сообщения. После окончания техникума в 1924 году вернулся в своё депо и стал работать слесарем, потом техником по ремонту паровозов, помощником машиниста и со временем сам повел локомотив. В 1928 году был призван в Красную Армию, службу проходил в артиллерийской бригаде. После демобилизации был направлен на орудийный завод «Большевик» в Ленинграде. Вскоре был направлен на учёбу в Ленинградский институт инженеров железнодорожного транспорта, где учился на факультете эксплуатации железных дорог. По окончанию института был направлен инженером на станцию Ленинград-Товарный Витебский. Затем работал инженером отделения движения, диспетчером, заместителем начальника службы движения Октябрьской железной дороги. В декабре 1937 года назначен начальником Волховстроевского отделения движения Кировского железной дороги. В мае 1939 году приказом наркома Кагановича назначен заместителем начальником Кировской железной дороги. Когда дорога стала прифронтовой, во время войны с Финляндией, пришлось работать в трудных условиях, осложнявшихся ещё и суровым климатом. П. Н. Гарцуев успешно справлялся со своими обязанностями, в конце 1939 года был награждён орденом «Знак Почета» под номером 11383. В декабре 1940 года принял руководство Кировской железной дорогой. В этой должности встретил начало Великой Отечественной войны. В начале военных действий приступил к переводу работы дороги на военные рельсы. С утра 24 июня магистраль перешла на график военного времени. В сентябре 1941 года управление дорогой было передислоцировано из Петрозаводска в Беломорск. Сложность обстановки усугублялось ещё и тем, что на протяжении 1500 км дорога проходила в прифронтовой полосе и вражеское командование всеми силами старалась отрезать Москву и Ленинград от Мурманского порта. Когда врагу удалось перерезать магистраль на двух участках Лодейное поле — Свирь и Петрозаводск — Масельская, грузы из составы пошли по новой, недавно построенной ветке Сорокская — Обозерская и дальше через Вологду и Ярославль. Эта линия надежно работала все военные годы, обеспечивала вывоз грузов, поступавших в Мурманск, а также снабжение Северного флота. В эти трудные дни начальник дороги усело организовал работу многотысячного коллектива Кировской магистрали. Одновременно, с ноября 1941 года, П. Н. Гарцуев выполнял обязанности уполномоченного наркомата по Карельскому фронту. Указом Президиума Верховного Совета СССР от 5 ноября 1943 года «за особые заслуги в обеспечении перевозок для фронта и народного хозяйства и выдающиеся достижения в восстановлении железнодорожного хозяйства в трудных условиях военного времени» Гарцуеву Павлу Николаевичу присвоено звание Героя Социалистического Труда с вручением ордена Ленина и золотой медали «Серп и Молот» за номером 63. П. Н. Гарцев руководил Кировской магистралью до конца войны. В июле 1944 года Управление дороги вернулось в освобожденный Петрозаводск. В 1945 году был назначен начальником Северо-Кавказской железной дороги. Несмотря на сложную обстановку — магистраль отставала по многим показателям, многие сооружения были разрушены — уже в 1946 году план погрузки дорога выполнила на 104,4 %, в том числе по каменному углю — на 107,6 %. В мае 1949 году Гарцуеву присвоено персональное звание генерал-директора движения II ранга. Руководил дорогой 13 лет, за это время магистраль преобразилась: были полностью залечены раны, нанесенные войной, проведена техническая реконструкция всех служб дорожного хозяйства, завершена электрификация главных ходов дороги. В 1959—1964 годах руководил Молдавской железной дорогой. Затем три года работал в Чехословакии в качестве эксперта Бюро по эксплуатации общего парка грузовых вагонов. По окончанию командировки вернулся в Москву и вышел на пенсию. Жил в городе-герое Москве. Скончался 23 декабря 1969 года.
