Before the war, his parents were arrested on charges of hydration and "Trotskyism", numerous children "scattered" on grandparents. But the family of Kazyev did not call the Soviet power: in 1941, when Belarus became an occupied territory, Anna Kazay, the wife of the "enemy of the people" and the mother of small marats and Ariadnes, hid in her wounded partisans, for which she was executed by the Germans. And brother and sister went to the partisans. Ariadna was subsequently evacuated, but Marat remained in the detachment.
On a par with senior comrades, he went into intelligence - both alone and with the group. Participated in the raids. Used the echelons. For the fight in January 1943, when, wounded, he raised his comrades in the attack and made his way through the enemy ring, Marat received the medal "for the courage."

Returning from the task together with the intelligence commander, they came across the Germans. The commander was killed immediately, and Marat, shooting, harboring in a hollow. It was nowhere to go in a clean field, and there was no possibility - the teenager was seriously injured in his hand.

"The roar of motors became louder - the cars were approaching. Faces of soldiers were already well visible. From Lbov, half-closed with green helmets, Flamen sweat. Some soldiers have taken careless helmets. The front car was stuck with the bushes, followed by the boys. Valya raised, counting about seconds . The car drove, there is already armored vehicle against him. Then he rose to the whole height and shouting "fire!" One after another threw two grenades ... At the same time, the explosions were spoiled on the left and right. Both cars stopped, the front light up. Soldiers were swiftly frightened , rushed into a cuvette and from there discovered a random fire from the machine guns, "the Soviet textbook describes this first fight. The task of the partisan Valya was then completed: the head of the gendarmerie, the Ober-Lieutenant Franz Kenig and the seven German soldiers died. About 30 people were injured.

In 1942, he joined the squad. "Participated in 27 combat operations, destroyed 78 German soldiers and officers, blew 2 railway railway and 12 highway bridges, blew 9 cars with ammunition ...

For this feat, Lenya was presented to the highest government award - the medal "Golden Star" and the title of the Hero of the Soviet Union. But did not have time to get them.

Once a group of partisans, including Sasha Chekalin, staged an ambush by the road to the city of Likhvin (Tula region). The car appeared in the distance. Passed a minute - and the explosion spread the car into parts. For her, several more cars exploded. One of them, crowded with soldiers, tried to slip. But the grenade thrown by Sasha Chekalin destroyed it.
In early November 1941, Sasha was cold and run. The Commissioner allowed him to fly away from a proven person in the nearest village. But there was a traitor who issued it. At night, the fascists broke into the house where the sick partisan lay. Chekalin managed to grab the cooked grenade and throw it, but she did not explode ... A few days later, the torture of the fascists hung a teenager on the central square of Likhvina and no longer allowed to clean his corpse from the gallows.
