"There is such a profession — to defend their Homeland". This phrase from the movie "Officers" knows, probably, everyone. But few know that it belongs to Andrey Antonovich Grechko, and in a few words it sounds a great experience, immutable, imperative, and a spiritual Testament for all brothers in arms. Soldier of the red army during the Civil war, General-полковник, along with his 1-й guards army met great Victory in the liberation of Prague, the commander in chief group of Soviet forces in Germany, the Soviet defense Minister — these are the milestones of military and political career Grechko, treads the thorny path of a boy from the Ukrainian hinterland to the Olympus of the Soviet elite.

In the works of modern researchers, the name of Andrei Grechko is associated primarily with the great Patriotic war and history of the Armed forces, which is not surprising. However, this is certainly true, the focus suffers from a certain one-sidedness and obscures other important aspects related to the figure of the Marshal.

It is about diplomacy and sport. In the era of nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction, capable of making any large-scale armed conflict fatal to mankind, every major military leader automatically became a diplomat, which was required to master the art of negotiation is no worse than tactics. These words are applicable to Andrei Grechko, and materials from his archive are the best of their illustration. Germany, Hungary, Poland, Bulgaria, Romania, Czechoslovakia, France, Vietnam, Finland, India, Egypt, United Arab Emirates, Mongolia, Cuba, Pakistan, Chile — here is a partial list of countries visited by or with the highest leadership which is engaged by the Marshal, which is reflected in the unique photo albums, documents and other artifacts, adorned the collection of the art auction.

the World of sport was a real passion Grechko. His name is forever inscribed in Golden letters in the glorious history of CSKA: the army of the" club Marshal did more than all his predecessors combined. "Andrey Antonovitch was a football fan in the best sense of the word. CSKA doted, — recalled the footballer Yuri Нырков.— Remember when after the war we came to play in Kiev, where Grechko was the commander of the military district, he always met us and hosted. Went to our matches. But after moving to Moscow, the attention of CSKA began to pay even more. How much good he has done for the club! Sorry, other military leaders, head of the Ministry of defence, this did not differ". Thanks to him the club has at its disposal a number of facilities — new stadium, arena, base in Archangel. The sporting successes of CSKA increased the prestige of the army, and the development of mass sports under the auspices of the club contributed to the preparation of future physical and active military personnel. Grechko thought it necessaryto support themselves and their subordinates in fine form. It is known that he personally twice a week led the physical training at the high command of the Soviet Army. In addition to football, he was fond of tennis, sparring-партнером Marshal was Shamil Tarpischev, the future legend of Russian tennis, and then — young soldier. About the role played by Marshall in the development of Soviet sports, speak eloquently of items from his archive, including such gems as the memorable Cup of hockey CSKA and a ball with autographs of the legends of the USSR team in football.

Archive of Marshal Andrei Grechko, spanning several decades and clearly represents the history of the Soviet army, diplomacy and sports, — undoubted boon for collectors of different directions.
