Zabobonov Street is located in the Oktyabrsky district of Krasnoyarsk.
Zabobonov Street begins from Krupskaya Street, passes 600 meters, and, crossing the busy Lesoparkovaya Street, ends in an area of small private sector, basements and vacant lots. In the future, the street will be extended and possibly connect with Svobodny Prospect.
The residential development on this street is still represented by the 97-series of panel high-rise buildings. The first houses were commissioned here back in 1976-1977. House number 12 was built in the late 1990s. Further construction only resumed in 2011.
The house was named in honor of Ivan Semenovich Zabobonov (1912 - 1945), Hero of the Soviet Union by the decision of the Executive Committee of Krasnoyarsk City Council # 346 of 05.08.1975.
Ivan Semyonovich was born in the village Shelkovnikovo Tomsk province (now Bolotinsky district of Novosibirsk region) in a peasant family. After completing eight grades, he got a job as a coal miner in a warehouse at the Taiga railway station in the Kemerovo region.
In October 1934, Ivan Semyonovich in the rank of senior lieutenant was drafted into the Red Army. He served in Achinsk and Krasnoyarsk. Graduated from the Higher School of NKVD.
In March, 1943 Zabonov was appointed in the 99th shooting division. He fought on the Voronezh and Ukrainian fronts.
Ivan Semyonovich accomplished his feat during the forced crossing of Danube River and capturing of a bridgehead on the right bank of the river.
On the night of December 5, 1944 among units and divisions crossing the river there was a rifle battalion of a senior lieutenant Zabobonov.
When the first boats reached the opposite bank the fighters, shooting on the move, rushed forward and knocked the Germans out of the trenches. There were hand-to-hand fighting everywhere. The bridgehead gradually expanded. But suddenly, everyone felt that the enemy became stronger. The Hitlerites went around and launched a fierce counterattack against the battalion. Our soldiers fought like heroes. And the example of courage and attack was shown by the commander himself. The battalion held out. And not only survived, but also expanded the bridgehead.
In this battle the battalion destroyed up to 250 soldiers and officers of the enemy.
Ivan Semyonovich died on January 1, 1945 during the liberation of Budapest. There he also is buried. His name is immortalized on the granite obelisk on Mount Gellert in Budapest, on the Alley of Heroes and the Monument of Glory in Novosibirsk. In the suburbs of the Hungarian capital of Dioside Zabonov is a monument. A street in the town of Bolotnoe in Novosibirsk region is also named after Zabobonov.
