Short, concrete description of his combat feat or merits (to be compiled by the staff of the military unit, formation or institution):

During the period of combat actions on the Kalinin and Northwestern Front comrade Sergei Andrianovich Yershov worked as the editor of the corps newspaper Sovetsky patriot. He made the newspaper into a helpful resource that aids the command in mobilizing the men of the corps to carry out their tasks during the fighting with the German invaders. The newspaper commands respect among its readers and genuinely enables them to be taught about prominent experiences of aircrews and technical personnel.

Even when he is allotted limited resources, comrade Yershov makes sure that the newspaper is issued without interruptions.

For organizing the continuous issue of the newspaper Sovetsky patriot, for displaying vigor, for his honorability, and for carrying out his tasks and assignments in an exemplary manner, comrade S.A. Yershov deserves the Order of the Red Star.

Chief of the Political Section of the 1st Guards Fighter Aviation Corps
Guards Colonel [signed] /Lebedev/



I agree with the attestation and its conclusion.

Deputy commander in charge of political affairs of the 1st Guards Fighter Aviation Corps
Guards Colonel [signed] /Yukhimchuk/



He deserves the Order of the Red Star.

Commander of the 1st Guards Fighter Aviation Corps
Guards Lieutenant General of Aviation [signed] /Beletsky/

Although a similar name I doubt this publication is overtly related.
Sovetskii Patriot definition of Sovetskii Patriot in the Free Online Encyclopedia.

I think that's an entirely different newspaper.

Every army and corps had a newspaper, and information on them is hard to find. Most likely the newspapers were discontinued after the war when the units were disbanded. Possibly there are archives or libraries in Moscow that have issues of these newspapers.
