Death to the German occupiers!
Eternal glory to the heroes who died in the struggle for the freedom and independence of our Motherland!
Selfless courage and the greatest heroism marked the combat path of the soldiers and officers of our army, clearing their native land of fascist scoundrels.
New brilliant pages are being written into the chronicle of the Patriotic War, full of glorious deeds in the name of the liberation of our native Fatherland.
Passionate love for their mother Motherland, the willingness to give all of themselves for it without a trace, righteous anger and sacred revenge for the great city of Lenin - this is what burns with a bright flame in the hearts of our soldiers, this is what drives them when they undertake unprecedented feats, giving his young life for the victory over the vile enemy, for the happiness and prosperity of his people; This is what made the name of a graduate of the Lenin-Stalin Komsomol, a loyal son of the Bolshevik Party, Hero of the Soviet Union, Ivan Kupriyanovich Skuridin, unforgettable.
There was a battle for the village. The advance of our unit was hampered by a firing point, from which the enemy fired fiercely, pinning the infantry to the ground.
The company's Komsomol organizer, senior sergeant Ivan Skuridin, quietly crawled up to her and began throwing grenades at her. However, the machine gun continued to operate. The fiery jets did not allow the infantry to rise. The offensive was delayed. At this critical moment of the battle, the ardent Russian patriot communist Ivan Skuridin decided on an immortal feat. Rising to his full height, shouting “For Leningrad, comrades!” he rushed to the firing point and covered its embrasure with his body. A sheaf of bullets pierced the hero's chest. The machine gun fell silent, choking on the blood of the Soviet hero.
Inspired by the greatest feat of their battle leader, the fighters quickly rushed into enemy positions and captured the village. Thus, the young soldier of the Red Army, Ivan Skuridin, showed how one must love one’s Motherland, how one must fulfill a sacred oath to the people - the military oath - until the last breath, until the last heartbeat.
Over the body of the valiant warrior, over the party card, covered in the blood of the hero, the fighters vowed to mercilessly take revenge on the damned fascist monsters, to force them to pay with pounds of their black blood for the wonderful life and death of Ivan Skuridin.
The day is not far away. when the last thunderstorms of the Great Patriotic War have passed, and the peoples of our country will once again live a free, happy life. Years will pass. But the name of the glorious patriot of the Russian land, Hero of the Soviet Union Ivan Kupriyanovich Skuridin will never be erased in the grateful memory of the Soviet people.
Eternal glory to you, great Russian hero Ivan Skuridin!
Your noble feat calls us to new heroic deeds for the glory of our native land.
Today we are conducting intense battles in those historical places where 26 years ago, in a mortal battle with the German occupiers, the Red Army of the Land of Socialism was born. Let us commemorate the great anniversary with glorious victories over the age-old enemy of our Fatherland!
We hear the groans of tortured women and children. It is the fascist scoundrels who are subjecting the enslaved people of Soviet Estonia to unheard of abuse and humiliation. Our brothers and sisters in Narva, Tallinn and other cities are eagerly awaiting their liberators. We must quickly drive the German scoundrels off Estonian soil.
May the high example of the boundless love of the hero Ivan Skuridin for his people give us new strength to accomplish military feats worthy of our Great Motherland.
Let our hatred bring death and destruction to the vile German invaders.
Forward to victory, comrades! Political Department of the Army.

Ivan Skuridin was born in 1914 into a peasant family in the village of Otradnoye, Makinsk district, Akmola region. Before being drafted into the army (1936), he worked in a field brigade and as an accountant at the Red Drummer collective farm. Served active duty and two years of extended duty.
At the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, he volunteered to go to the front and fought on the Volkhov Front as part of the 310th Rifle Division. After the second wound, he ended up near Leningrad with a marching company. At the front in 1943 he joined the ranks of the CPSU.
By decree of February 13, 1944, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR posthumously awarded the Komsomol organizer of the rifle company, senior sergeant I.K. Skuridin, the title of Hero of the Soviet Union.
On January 17, 1944, units of the 4th Regiment of the 98th Infantry Division stormed the village of Sokuli, about 40 kilometers southeast of the city of Lomonosov (formerly Oranienbaum). In the sector of the 6th Infantry Company, four enemy firing points pinned the advancing chains to the ground. The artillerymen quickly suppressed them with the fire of their guns, but when the company rose to attack, one bunker came to life and met the attackers with a stream of lead. The soldiers lay down again.
Senior Sergeant Skuridin, a Komsomol organizer and the favorite of the entire company, crawled forward. From a short distance, he threw several grenades one after another, but the enemy machine gun continued to sow death among his comrades. “The attack will choke, and the company will die in front of the enemy fortifications!” This thought burned the mind of the young communist, and selfless devotion to the Motherland inspired him to achieve heroism. Rising to his full height, Ivan Skuridin quickly rushed to the bunker and covered its embrasure with his body. The enemy machine gun choked on the hero’s blood and fell silent.
In a single impulse, Skuridin’s fighting friends rose up and, bursting into the village, destroyed the German garrison.
When the division learned that Ivan Kupriyanovich Skuridin had been awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union, soldiers and sergeants A. Poletaev, A. Terekhov, S. Sikimbaev and others wrote to Alexandra Osipovna Skuridina, the hero’s mother: “We cruelly took revenge on the enemy for our favorite. Thousands of enemy corpses covered the land we liberated."
Not far from the site of the death of the fearless Komsomol organizer in the village of Gostilitsy, Lomonosov district, Leningrad region, there is a modest monument. Several years ago, the Hero’s mother, Alexandra Osipovna Skuridina, visited the monument, accompanied by the pioneers of Makinsk and Lomonosov. “Well, here we are, son,” her lips whispered. “I went to you for a long time to tell you about my native places, to convey greetings from your comrades, but you won’t get up, you won’t ask and you won’t tell about yourself. Many friends came to see you today. People remember you, sacredly honor your blessed memory..."
