Savel'ev, Fedor Alekseevich, Colonel, 1st Guards Mechanised Army
Some of you might have seen this topic on another forum.
A few months ago I received the research results for my Order of the Patriotic War 2nd Class number 44030, awarded to Guards Major Fedor Alekseyevich Savelyev. Fedor Alekseyevich Savelyev was born om 17 Feb 1905 in the village of Kostino, Krasnokholsk Raion, Kalinin Oblast. Later he lived in the village of Russky Kochim, Sosnovy Bor Raion, Penza Oblast. In 1927 he joined the Red Army and in 1930 he became a member of the Communist Party. He was a participant of the GPW as of 1942. Guards Major Savelyev was working as chief of the combat reconnaissance section in the 15th Tank Corps of the Western Front, and from June 1943 in Guards Colonel-General Rotmistrov's 5th Guards Tank Army of MSU Konev's 2nd Ukrainian Front. "Comrade Savelyev was working as the section head of combat reconnaissance and personally lead and organised the reconnaissance in the period between 15 Oct and 3 Nov 1943." One night he captured documents of the SS-Panzergrenadier-Division "Totenkopf". He was nominated for a Red Banner but received an OPW2. Savelyev's occupation before the joined the Red Army was farmer. His mother was Nadezhda Leontyevna Savelyeva and he was married to Anna Stepanovna Savelyeva. He spoke no foreign languages. He made one travel to a foreign country (a trip to Romania in Dec 1946). Savelyev was severely wounded twice in the war, in Aug 1942 and Feb 1944. He attended two military courses: one at the Orlovsk Armor School and a commander's course at the Stalin Military Academy. No punishments. Hospital 4842 23.8.42 Deputy CO of Reconnaissance 15th Tank Corps 2.3.43 Deputy CO of Recon 5th Tank Army 20.6.43 Hospital 4551 2.2.44 Student back at Stalin Academy 10.10.44 (probably on light duties recovering from wounds) Commander of students at Buiskoe Tank School 24.11.45 Battalion Commander of 89th Armored Car Regiment 8.12.46 Commander of 69th Independent Instructional Tank Battalion of the 25th Mechanized Division 11.4.47 Deputy CO 5th Gds Mechanized Rgt of 2nd Gds Mech Div 5.1.48 Deputy CO of 134th Gds Tank Rgt of 35th Gds Mech Div 18.9.48 I can't read these lines as too light and small, but 19.1.49 something about Deputy CO of Gds Mech Rgt in 27th Mech Div, and then I think two sets of school courses in 1951, followed by Deputy CO of 21st Gds Mech Rgt in 8th Gds Mech Div of 1st Gds Mech Army 29.2.52 and finally Military Commandant of Military Commandantur District 122 18.11.52 ( = ???) before being retired. Savelyev's ranks: Senior Lieutenant: 20 Nov 1938 Captain: 1940 Major: 4 Nov 1942 Lieutenant-Colonel: 21 Feb 1944 Colonel: 23 Aug 1951 Savelyev's awards: Order of the Red Star # 213445: 28 Jul 1943 Order of the Patriotic War 2nd Class # 44030: 17 Nov 1943 Order of the Red Banner # 109614: 23 Feb 1944 Order of the Red Star # 958334: 3 Nov 1944 Medal for the Victory over Germany: 9 May 1945 Order of the Red Banner # 371844: 15 Nov 1950 Order of Lenin # 285400: 5 Nov 1954 Medal for 30 Years Soviet Army and Fleet Savelyev's second Red Star was probably for 15 years of long service (17 years actually), his Red Banner was most probably for 20 years of service (23 years) and the Lenin for 25 years of service (27 years). With the citation came a picture of a grumpy Savelyev. Also see the match in the SND. Last edited by Auke; 10-21-2007 at 04:22 PM. |

A couple of days ago I visited a guy who had a lot of Soviet awards for sale. I bought several of them, including the Order of Lenin below. Coincidentally I was going through Savelyev's documents again and I noticed that this Order of Lenin was on Savelyev's Award Record Card! :wow They both came from the same seller, so I think that explains the coincidence...
So, now these two awards have been promoted from 'singles' to 'a broken group'. :cheers |

So I contacted the seller and asked him if he had more of Savelyev's awards. He fortunately kept a list of all the pieces he ever had. The Red Banners and Red Star 958334 weren't on it, but Red Star 213445 was! Unfortunately the seller sold that one, but he remembered who he had sold it to. I told the seller I really wanted to buy or trade that Red Star so he is going to contact the buyer. :cheers
