Biography

Evgeny Evgenievich Bauer was born in 1924.
Until 1942, he lived in the village of Pesochny in the Leningrad Region. In March 1942, the Soviet government decided to evacuate the German and Finnish population from the front-line village of Pesochny. Evgeny Bauer, along with his brothers Georgy (born 1926), Willy (born 1928), and his mother (born 1902), were forcibly evacuated to the train station and sent in train cars designed for transporting animals to Siberia for exile. His mother and younger brother, Willy, died en route. They were unloaded at an unknown station.
From the late spring of 1942, Evgeny Bauer was in the closed zone.
In 1947, he married Ekaterina Romanovna Maltseva, who worked there as an investigator. They were granted permission to settle in barracks in the village of Predivinsk, where their son Georgy and daughter Irina were born.
In 1953, they were allowed to move to Minusinsk in the Krasnoyarsk Territory, to live with Ekaterina Maltseva's mother. Their youngest daughter, Anna, was born there in 1954. Evgeny found work as a lathe operator at the Metallist plant, where he received numerous certificates and awards for his efficiency.
In 1965, Evgeny Bauer wanted to move to St. Petersburg, but was denied entry because of his German surname. He eventually stayed with a friend in Zaporozhye, where he moved his family later that year. He found work as a lathe operator at the Brick Factory, where he remained until 1990. On January 25, 1999, at approximately 8:00 PM, Yevgeny Yevgenievich Bauer died of heart failure (a heart attack).
He is buried at the Levanevsky Cemetery in Zaporizhzhia.
