Soviet Officer Portrait – Senior Lieutenant Evstafiy I. Sologub – Red Star Recipient – 365th Independent Signal Battalion
Original Soviet officer portrait photograph depicting Evstafiy Ilarionovich Sologub (1918–?), a decorated Soviet signal officer and veteran of the Great Patriotic War.
The reverse identifies him as Senior Lieutenant Evstafiy Ilarionovich Sologub, making this a fully named and documented portrait.
Digital archival research links this portrait to Sologub, who served as commander of a telegraph-construction company within the 365th Independent Signal Battalion.
Sologub, a Ukrainian officer, served in the Red Army from 1934 and was drafted by the Veliky Burluk Military Commissariat, Kharkov Region.
He participated in military operations in:
- Western Ukraine
- Northern Bukovina
- Bessarabia
- Great Patriotic War
Archival records confirm he was recommended for the Order of the Red Star (Орден Красной Звезды) in 1942.
The award citation highlights Sologub’s exceptional courage and dedication while maintaining vital frontline communications under extremely dangerous combat conditions. During combat operations between 13–20 April, communications lines were repeatedly destroyed under intense enemy shelling.
Leading by personal example, Sologub operated under heavy fire, crossed flooded terrain, and personally supervised the restoration of damaged communication lines. Despite severe battlefield conditions, he remained at his post until communications were fully restored.
His unit was recognized as one of the strongest within the battalion, and his service was praised as a model of leadership, reliability, and battlefield determination.
The portrait shows Sologub wearing his wartime decorations, including the clearly visible Order of the Red Star, along with several Soviet campaign medals.
A highly attractive researched Soviet officer portrait with strong wartime provenance, named identification, and documented frontline service. A desirable piece for collectors of Soviet militaria, signal corps material, and researched Eastern Front groups.
Included:
- Original portrait photograph
- Digital archival research scans
