Comrade Lev Moiseyevich Lvovsky has been serving in the Patriotic War since June 1941.

He has been serving as a special agent with the NKVD Special Section of the 68th Independent Army Signal Regiment. Through his hands-on efforts he helps execute tasks related to providing the command post with timely communications.

During the offensive operations of our army, he is always the first to move with the operational outfit to the location where the signal center is established.

In February 1943, having received orders from the army commander to deploy the signal center in the village of Ladozhskaya, comrade Lvovsky and a group of signallers from the regiment disregarded the fact that there still were enemy troops in the village, decided to cut around the village with the aim of being the first to enter the settlement in order to set up the signal center in the fastest way possible. Despite the fact that the enemy had destroyed the river crossing to Ladozhskaya, comrade Lvovsky organized the signallers and crawled across the ice, moving the signals equipment to the village of Ladozhskaya. In doing so, the team of signallers was the first to enter Ladozhskaya and while the river-crossing site was arranged, the signal center was equipped. The assignment was accomplished on schedule.

Through his daily duties comrade Lvovsky helped establish a healthy morale and a high level of political motivation within the regiment among the men. Comrade L.M. Lvovsky deserves to be awarded the Medal for Courage.

Since the very start of the Red Army's operations in the North Caucasus, he consequently travelled alongside the forward detachments of signallers, where he was directly involved in organizing communications under combat conditions and frequently under intense enemy fire.

1. Near Chikola he accompanied the first small party and helped establish communications at one of the first signal centers of the offensive period.

2. Near Nalchik, after moving forward with a group of soldiers from the regiment's mobile communications equipment company, he took 11 Hitlerites prisoner. Those troops had attempted to steal 500 sheep for German use which had they had looted from collective farms in Kabardino-Balkaria.

3. Along with a group of signallers he was the first to enter the city of Cherkessk, when there still were Romanian troops in the city, but despite this fact he took an active part in organizing communications.

4. Near the village of Ladozhskaya, when nobody had yet dared to enter this village that had not yet been completely abandoned by the enemy, he led an outfit of 10 troops on a reconnaissance sortie, crossed the river, and then put the equipment for the signal center across the river. The signal center was set up even before the bridge had been repaired.

Throughout the operations in the North Caucasus he consequently moved forward to the field command post or an observation post (Troitskaya, Platforma 17, and others), where he was subjected to constant artillery shelling and ceaseless bombardment, providing the men an example of dedication and fortitude. He was always highly actively involved in arranging communications, sparing no effort and using all means at his disposal to assist the regiment's forward detachments of signallers in accomplishing their assigned tasks.
