Marshal of the Soviet Union Ivan Bagramyan, Twice Hero
of the Soviet Union and Commander of the Voroshilov General
Staff Academy from 1956 to 1958, typed document signed. This
1957 document is an evaluation of an Armored Corps General who
was about to complete an advanced course of studies at the
academy. Although the review submitted by the chief of the
study program contained some rather negative points, Bagramyan
recommended to keep the general in his previous capacity of a
mechanized division commander. The document is in excellent
condition.
Certificate for a Defense of Stalingrad Medal, May 1946. Hand-signed by Hero of
the Soviet Union Maj. General Georgiy Filippov, the famous hero of
Stalingrad who
led the
tank column that captured the key bridge in Kalach thus trapping the German VI
Army in the Stalingrad pocket. The document was issued to a highly decorated
medical officer in a Guards mechanized division who served under Filippov's
command after the war. The document is in very good condition, far better than the
average. Comes with a copy of the article about Filippov in the official Soviet-
era catalog Heroes of the Soviet Union.
Air Force Colonel General Goryunov, Commander of the
69th Air Army, typed document signed and dated 9 May 1945. A
recommendation for promotion of a subordinate officer which
includes the officer's photo.
Vice Admiral Filipp Oktyabrsky, Commander of the Black
Sea Fleet, typed document signed during the siege of
Sevastopol on 29 January 1942. Earlier, Oktyabrsky had been in
charge of defense of Odessa, and later in the war, organized
amphibious landings at Kerch and Feodosiya. A very
interesting and uncommon document from the early period of the
war.
Iona Yakir, Commander of the Ukrainian Military
District, typed document signed, January 1930. Yakir was
certainly one of the most brutal Red Army commanders during
the Civil War. Later an inspired military theorist who
eventually became one of the highest ranking victims of
Stalin's purge of the Soviet military in 1937.
