Goodbye, wait with victory. I hug and kiss you all. A big hello to our friends and family.
Your son Ivan. May 1943."

"Hello, dear fellow countrymen!
Sergeant Ivan Skuridin addresses you with warm front-line greetings. I have one single request to you: help my mother repair her house and barn for the winter. She can't do this alone. And you understand that coming from the front now for this purpose is simply not serious. I hope that you will help mom fully prepare for winter. I think that my mother will live in normal conditions if something happens to me. We carry out your order. We mercilessly beat the Nazis and all invaders. Wait with victory! She is close and will be behind us!
(slide 5)
7. "Hello, beloved mother!
With warm front-line greetings and best wishes, your son Ivan. It's very hot here now. We beat all fascists mercilessly. Read about our affairs in the newspapers and listen to the radio. And our success is excellent.
The fascists curse the possessed Fuhrer for all his tricks, what he did to his army, his people, and to the peoples of other countries. Reckoning is near, as is our victory.
Dear mom! Whatever happens to me, don't be upset. After all, a bullet and a shrapnel do not distinguish where a communist is, and where a Komsomol organizer, and where just a private. Anything can happen in war. But tell everyone that you had a son, Ivan Skuridin, a sergeant, a communist, a company Komsomol organizer, who was an active fighter in breaking the siege of Leningrad. There will be time, they will write about us in newspapers and compose songs. I am very glad that my generation was given such a difficult test, and it passed it with honor.
Dear mother! Don’t be upset prematurely, maybe everything will work out and you and I will meet and live like that. You will babysit your grandchildren. So everything is ahead.
I am writing a letter in a cold dugout before the battle.
Hello to our family and friends. I kiss you all a thousand times. Your son Ivan. January 16, 1944."

Leaflet describing the feat of Hero of the Soviet Union I.K. Skuridin 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 broke 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 hero’s blood, the fighters swore 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 fighting 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.
