SEMION BUDENNY AND ANDREY GRECHKO
Good pair of signatures on a partly-printed D.S., 4pp. legal folio, 1950, the military attestation of Lieutenant-Colonel Alexey Klimenko. The document is signed by two Marshals of the Soviet Union: SEMION BUDENNY (1883 - 1973), Soviet field marshal and Commander in Chief of the Southwestern Front that allowed Von Rundstedt's army to divide and nearly destroy his command, and ANDREY GRECHKO (1903 - 1976), Soviet general who desperately resisted the German advance in the south, liberated Kiev and the Ukraine and occupied Prague. Budenny signs at the top of the third page as the Chairman of the Attestation Committee of the Head Commander. Grechko signs at the bottom of the second page as Commander of the Kiev Military District, Guard's General-Colonel. Partly disbound at bottom, slightly ragged right edge, else very good.
