This citation, which I stumbled upon on podvignaroda site, dispels GPW myths popular in the West and among Russian liberal intelligentsia. For now, I will refrain from stating myths and will let the citation do the talk:
Politruk Rabinovich, member of the Party, during the regiment's offensive, by personal example, killing fascists, inspired enlisted men and officers. When encircled, he rendered fierce resistance when the enemy attempted to capture him, used up personal ammunition, died as a hero in the uneven struggle against fascists. Politruk Rabinovich, was simultaneously destroying traitors of the Motherland who attempted to surrender alive to fascists.
