Yes, I am sure that it is a signature, and that the name of the person that signed is 'Novikov'. Now I never said that it was THE Novikov necessarily; it happens to be a somewhat common name.
I have tweaked a bit the original picture; you can see that under the signature itself, there is a stamp with the name.

Marc/Auke, I believe it´s the signature of NOVIKOV Aleksandrovich Nikolai.
Colonel-General of Tank Troops. Commanding Officer Tank Forces 1st ukr.Front.
Could you guys help me with the rest of the text. For what did they get the orders? Kurapov...summer battles 1943...winter battles 1944. I can´t read/understand the rest so good. :(
Zazimko organized the tank-,artillery- and rifle troops??? :(

Kurapov was chief of the 6th department of the staff of the 31st Tank Corps.
The document is signed by the Corps commander, Major General of Tank Troops Grigoryev. I can't figure out the last word on the document (in blue after 'Order of the Red Star'), but it isn't an signature.
Zazimko was commander of the armored and mechanical troops of the 8th Army.

Thank you, Auke! :thumbsup
