The FSB told how the special squad “Winners’ smashed the Nazis in western Ukraine. The report, signed by Medvedev, is dated October 6, 1944.

The publication of these materials is timed to coincide with the 80th anniversary of the death of a special agent of the USSR state security agencies. Hero of the Soviet Union Nikolai Ivanovich Kuznetsov, who was part of the “winners” detachment, died in a battle near the western Ukrainian village of Boratin.
