Comrades in arms fought on Rostov-Gora on November 20, 1941. The letter by Leonid Starodubtsev dated June 13, 1989. An archival essay.
In a newspaper publication (Vladimir Vasilievich Zalessky "... There was a battle on the square" ("Molot", issue nomber 108 (20197) of May 9, 1989, on page 3)) its author writes about "a detachment of Red Army soldiers ."
Who defended Rostov-on-Don on November 20, 1941?
A combat conditions are not conducive to the asking of questions. A military secret!
Moreover, such questions would look strange if the questions were asked not by employees of the commandant's office or other military bodies, but by members of the Zalessky family - a young woman, the wife of a mobilized commander [officer] of the Red Army, Yuzefa Adamovna (mother) and an eleven-year-old boy Vladimir Vasilievich (son).
However, the war of 1941-1945 ended, questions remained.
The Zalesskys receive a letter from Leonid Trofimovich Starodubtsev [MMDCCCLXXIX. Vladimir Vasilievich writes to the newspaper a story about the capture of Field Marshal Paulus. An archival essay. - April 12, 2022.].
What is written in this letter?
"Good day, dear comrades in arms Yuzefa Adamovna and Vladimir Vasilyevich.
(...)
You write in a letter what kind of part it is, who left it [at the place of battle] and why there was such a group. Our military unit of the military-political school of the North Caucasus Military District, in which we were cadets [together] with Georgy Andreevich Lebedev and carried out the combat mission of the command of the school. as well as other cadets [carried out the combat mission]. It's necessary to express gratitude to the boy and present him with a reward for his courage and help in the battles against the German aggressors. He fearlessly and boldly brought ammunition to us at [onto] the barricade. When the neighbors told us that a note was written in Molot on May 9 "There was a battle on the square" and I began to tell everything in detail about the boy, and then we took the newspaper from the library and copied it and sent it to [city - place of residence of Lebedev G.A.] to Lebedev.
The bullet went right through the back and I continued to stand in the ranks, wounded. So many years have passed and you reminded me, thank you for everything. I am 71 years old...
I wish you health and long life.
Goodbye.
Wait for a letter from [city - place of residence of Lebedev G.A.] from Lebedev Georgy Andreevich.
All the time [he] calls [me] and we can't meet him.
Signature (Starodubtsev)
13/VI-1989 (...)"
